In need...

All this suggestion of warm weather is making us start to itch. I have been planning on getting a tan this summer (for the first time ever, pretty much) by going on a super sweet vacation. It looks like disappointment is in the air for a lot more people then just me because of this big Swine Flu scare and the economy. Those 2 combined don't make the best situations when it comes to fun in the sun but what can you do? So... we are open to suggestions and Mesquite trips... anyone else? We got to take advantage of the "safe" sun this summer, right? Also, I am dieing for a Dew so this is a call out to the Alvey's... find me some good deals k? Sun and Dew? You can't go wrong!

Escape From the Snow

I can't believe how much snow there is at my house right now. I walked out the front door and the snow went half way up to my knees. Are you kidding me? You would never think that it was April. Most people are getting really frustrated about the crazy weather but to me it doesn't matter. I have one more day and I'm outta here! We are head to sunny Mesquite, NV for the weekend and it couldn't be better timing. We will leave the snow and go to 75-88 degree weather and then by the time we get back the snow should be long gone! We are so excited!! It is the perfect escape. It light of the fun more summer-like weekend ahead I thought I would add a couple pictures to this post of our Spring trip to Mesquite last year.
On our four-wheeling trip we found a fun little cave to play in.
Dad and Kaden on our ride. He always seems happier in the Mountains on a four-wheeler. I wish that he could come this time. Stupid work!
Can you believe Kyle has been home for a year? We went a couple weeks after he got home. I can't believe how time flies.

Adventures at the Bottomless Pit

After rounding up all the glass bottles and gas that we could find we headed out to the bottomless pit. It is the perfect place for some good dangerous fun. Not just the fact that if you fell through the hole in the grate you would fall to your death but when you get a couple boys together with gas and matches you know its not the safest place to be. If you put all that aside it really is a fun activity to do on a Saturday night!

Kyle showing everybody how it is done. Good thing he didn't completely loose all his hair cause I told him I wouldn't love him anymore if he did and I'm pretty sure I couldn't follow through with that threat. He is such a cutie I can't help but love him.

Kyle and Kyson.....uh?
It looked like they were having so much fun that we all had to join in. Good times!

Spur of the Moment

A couple of weeks ago Kyle and I had just gotten home from work on a Friday night and didn't have any plans for the weekend yet. 2 phone calls and 30 minutes later we were on the road to Mesquite! It was fun to just pack up and leave. The weather was perfect down there, especially with it snowing back at home so we couldn't complain. Ted and Elise were able to come with us and have a little fun in the sun.
Kyle and Ted went to the Oasis Gun Club and shot at the clay pigeons while Elise and I kept score. My dad used to go every time we took a trip down there so it was fun to go there again.
On our way home we took the long way and drove through Zions. It was a super pretty drive. I hope that we can go back soon and take a couple days to go on some of the hikes. We took a couple stops and took some pictures but after we got out of the park the rest of the drive wasn't very fun (at least for me). Kyle thought that it was way cool for a change and spotted out a dozen good fishing spots but my hears decided to give me problems and didn't start to feel better until Nephi so our little detour felt super long to me.

I thought this was fun and helps us know a little more information about everybody so here I go...
