39 and Playing Twister

It was Shayla Checketts' 6th birthday party that I played twister for the very first time. I am 39 years old and have NEVER played twister before! WOW, I sure missed out on a lot of fun when I was younger.

Nice, butt shot!

We had so much fun that the kids wanted to try.

We found a fish costume that KyAnn had made for Halloween and of course we had to try it on. I will be completely honest, I didn't know that KyAnn was so talented when it comes to sewing.

We also had a very nice BBQ dinner.

Thanks for the invite!

Hunting For Eggs

So why is it that on Easter we color and hide eggs? Eggs come from chickens and the Easter Bunny is a bunny. Bunny's do NOT lay eggs. So I did my research and here is what I found.

My blog is also very educational, don't you think?

We went over to mom Adams' house on Easter for a wonderful Easter dinner and a Easter egg hunt. Cassie helped grandma color and fill the eggs and the Child family hid them. Garret and Ben had to write down where they hid the eggs because every year there are a couple of eggs not found. Each grandchild had to find 21 eggs.

Cassie thinks she is too old to find Easter eggs.

Easter in Moab

This year for Easter we went to Moab with the Thomas'. As usual we had a freakin blast! We set up camp away from other people so the dogs can run and we can listen to music without being bothered. The dogs had found a ball and played catch until their feet were bloody raw. Look at Gunners nose from getting the ball when it lands in the dirt.

Gene Simmons and I are twins who were separated at birth. Can you see the resemblance? HINT: Our tongue's are the same length.

Me, Darrell and Dori

Look at Jenn's hat on Shane's head. Can you say "too small"?

Austin jumping the RZR

After Austin got done jumping the RZR he went and did donuts. The RZR ended up on its side. Good news, it was the throttle that got stuck so it was not his fault. Mike is thinking about calling Polaris and having them recalled. KIDS WE ARE NOT STUPID!

We are on the way to the Green River.

Shane is now jumping the RZR and I am stress that something is going to break. I am NOT a DAREDEVIL. I am kind of a scared baby!

To sum up the Moab trip...Mike makes the BEST bloody Mary's

Easter

I have so many fond memories of Easter from my child hood.

I remember when the Easter Bunny would visit our house he/she (I'm unsure of the Easter Bunny's gender) would hide our baskets and send us on a scavenger hunt. My brother Mike and I would go from place to place looking for our next clue. Once we found our baskets we would sort though our candy and place it in nice little piles in our baskets.

When I was a little older and wiser I would spend Easter with my Grandpa John. For those of you who don't know we adopted each other. John and Franny Moe were unable to have children and my grandparents died when I was a baby (some before I was born). Grandpa John would always cook a huge Easter dinner for my parents and we would eat it in his enclosed patio (one of my favorite rooms). I loved shopping and preparing the meal with him. He was a fantastic cook and included me in every aspect. I love and miss him dearly! John and Franny are in heaven keeping my daddy company.

I hope my children will have fond memories of their special holidays.

Pictures of Me

I usually hate all the pictures of me. I have to take 50 pictures to get 1 that is ok...just ok. Today was the exception, at least I think so. I took 3 pictures and I like all 3 of them. I hope I don't sound conceded.

They might have been even cuter if someone else would have taken them..Who knows??

I wonder if Shane regrets buying me a little camera that fits in my purse?

Cosmetology Certificate

Look at what Cassie received in the mail today!

Certificate of Completion

Now, on to the state boards! Good Luck Cassie!! You can do it!!

Shark Sitting

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was shark sitting! For those of you who don't know this,

I am deathly afraid of sharks!

As a child I had the following fears:

1. That a shark would come out of the toilet and bite my butt.
2. If the toilet was by the bath tub a shark would jump out of the toilet into the bath tub and eat me.

So why would I agree to shark sit? This question still bothers me.

Every time I think of a shark this is the picture that comes to my mind

Anyways, I put the shark in our swimming pool.

• Fact: I don't have a swimming pool.

Then the shark ate 1 of our 3 cats.

• Fact: I only have 1 cat.

Gunner, our dog was laying in the pool and the shark bit him. I had to rush him to the vets so he could get stitches. When the vets shaved him he shrunk.

• Fact: Gunner will not shrink when you shave him.

My alarm went off and I woke up.

WTF
Please don't ever ask me to shark sit. I will have to tell you HELL NO!
