New post

but it ended up HERE - not sure why....

Its a long one folks but there are lots a pictures!

More Vegas pictures. OK these are going to be totally random! For one I don't know how to use blogger and whenever I load a new picture it goes to the top even when I don't want it to. For two at this point I don't know what order they should be in. Lets just be honest.

Paul and Carl with the Van Halen tickets! Expensive pieces of paper but they said it was an awesome concert! Carl is a concert virgin - well not anymore Van Halen has taken that away from him and I think he thoroughly enjoyed it. Have a mentioned that Carl is on a hair cut strike? Well he is - more on that later.

The first picture we took after dropping our camera in the middle of a casino. Let me rephrase that, Carl dropped the camera but it was my fault.

Lex doing the Vana.

On top of the conference center - awesome view!

This is about 1 hour into the trip. Lex slept all the way to SLC. We didn't leave Idaho until about 7 p.m. so I was afraid he wouldn't sleep when we got to the hotel. To my surprise he slept all night!

This is the gas station where Lex HAD to go to the bathroom. We were driving down the highway on our way home and Lex said in a very panicked voice, "I gotta go poop". We weren't sure where the next gas station was so we pulled off at the next exit. We drive down the road in the middle of no where. Finally there is a sign that says the town is 7 miles away. To which I said to Lex you better really need to go. Lex is what you would call a "home pooper". Ya know the type that just needs to be in the comfort of their own home to go. I guess he gets stage fright. Anyway we stop at the one and only gas station and rush to the potty. It was a good thing we stopped, I'm pretty sure he was prairie doggin' it. Anyway I think the town was called Kanosh - nice folks if you ever need to use the facilities. It's somewhere between here and Vegas. Now Lex can say he pooped in Kanosh. Can you?

Lex pulling yet another great pose. I would really like to know what is going on in that head.

Mountains anyone?

Lex's favorite part of the trip was the pool at the St. George hotel. I am really glad we drove for 4 days so swimming could be his favorite part.

I think this bucket of crab legs and various other things were Carl's favorite part of the trip, next to the concert of course. If we had a Joe's Crab Shack I would be in trouble. At least they had chicken.

We went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay it was really cool. Lex got a hat for free and a really expensive piece of crap water gun. I think the hat lasted longer than the water gun - but that's OK he was one happy boy to get it.

This was inside the shark reef again not sure what is going on inside this kids head but he makes me laugh!

We moved...

and no it didn't take us 2 weeks! I just am a crappy blogger. It's not that I didn't want to blog it's just I need a few more hours in the day.Old House

I was going to show you a picture of the new house but I cant find one. I could get off my butt and go outside and take one but its windy and I don't want to. Maybe later.

We also went to Viva Las Vegas last weekend. It was fun - we drove there with Carl's brother (from the same mother hehe) Paul, his wife Christi and their baby Hudson. We all loaded up in Grandpa's Suburban and away we went. I was a little nervous taken a 4 year old and a 10 month old on such a long road trip. It was so fun! The boys did great! We stopped a lot to see all the sites along the way and on the way back. Here are a few fun pictures. I wont share all 223 pictures but here are a few highlights....

Carl eating a bagel breakfast thing at the McDonald's in SLC, Utah. The McDonald's had video games you could play and the food cost double what it does here. You should go!

Can you find Lex? This is us at the start of a tour at Temple Square. Don't you love Carl's bag! It doesn't match his shoes - but he still loves to carry it for me!Fun sign just as we got into Vegas!

Mr. Lion playing with the ball - he was fun to watch (2000 other people also found him fun to watch). I'll post more pictures.... I'm not going to say tomorrow because we all know that probably wont happen!

Were moving.....

be back next week!

Cute Maddie!

I did something amazing this weekend! I did some pages! It started with the crop on Friday night. In a total of about 4 hours I got 1 page done! Thats right 1 page = 4 hours. Saturday I did much better. I worked on this fun page of my neice Maddie.

I am also starting to do the moments kits for ETM. This month was really fun bright colors.

Long haired hippie people!

HELP! Carl is on a hair cut strike! He says he doesn't have the will power for a hunger strike. He won't cut his hair until one of these houses sell! Its getting bad! OK so it's not as bad as Harry Dunn's. If you have seen Carl before the last few months you know he usually keeps his hair short. Really short like #3 guard short. We usually buzz it right off. I am really looking forward to when the strike is over.

Easter cont.

Day 2

We went to church and Lex wore the cute outfit my mom got for him. She found it on Target's website for like $7 for everything except the shoes.

Sorry the picture is blurry Lex cant hold still for the life of him!

I made these little cute handouts for my young woman. I found them from this girl and this site. I'm not much on digital scrap booking but these were fast and easy!

Then we went to Grandma Tolley's for dinner and fun! We ate lots of yummy food!

I got the recipe for the yummy veggie pizza HERE. They have the best recipes. They are usually so easy and you can actually find all the ingredients. I hate recipes that have stuff in them I've never heard of.

Cute nieces in their Easter dresses.

We saw a mangy moose in the field behind my parents house and then the hair coloring began...

McKale got a barbie for Easter that included a hair coloring gadget. It was actually pretty fun. Everyone Else's has dark hair so it didn't show up as well, but since I'm a natural blond - hehe she went to town on my hair. Luckily it washed out!
