Our Garden-hopefully

We are trying to plant a garden. Dean has been working hard to prep the ground, digging rocks and weeds out. The kids and I have been in charge of getting the rocks out and screening the dirt. After all this work, we better have some awesome food.

Some things are growing, even with the snow and all the rain we've had this spring.

By far, Caden has been the biggest help. He really enjoys the garden. Must get that from Grandma Joyce.

Makenna and David Archuleta

If you haven't been watching American Idol, what on earth have you been doing? Anyway, one of the final two is a 17 year old boy from Utah. On his visit home, I took Makenna and Natalee to see him along with all the other teenage girls in Utah. We waited in line for 2 1/2 hours and he was only there 20 minutes. They didn't get his autograph, but got close enough to take some good pictures.


Makenna's soul mate!!!!
This was insane!!!! And it was a school day-so many sluffers.

Happy Birthday Rhett

The big 11!!! Rhett wanted a carrot cake. We all thought he was wierd, but it was really good.
First, the finger-Rhett was going out to check the mail when the wind caught the door and it slammed on his finger. There was so much blood, I thought he was going to need stitches but after I got it cleaned up, the nail was just pulled up. So we got him bandaged up and the floor clean. He took it like a champ. A week later he had to go to the doctor and have the nail removed because it was getting infected.
The paper-It is an IOU for Lego Indiana Jones on the x-box. He really wanted it, but it doesn't come out until June. So he'll have to wait a little bit.


Dinosaurs in Utah

We found dinosuars in our yard!!!
Allison had brought the kids these dinosaur excavating kits.
They had to chisel out the fossils.
Everyone found one.

Easter

After our Saturday Easter celebrations, Sydney and Brain (& Kari and Lucas) came for Spring Break. They got her Saturday night just in time to dye eggs. We had pink ones, Boise State ones, ones that ended up black, all sorts.


Easter morning, just waiting to see if the Easter Bunny showed up.
