Our Fun 4-wheeling Trip Sunday!

We have been trying to coordinate a 4-wheeling trip with Seth and the boys for a few weeks now so we decided to plan it for this weekend. Since Seth and the boys really needed a break from all the drama going on in their lives right now, they decided to come down here and tour our part of the state :) It was a lot of fun!


This is the rubber boa we found just as we were starting off. YUCK!!!


The first stop we made was on top of a mountain that separates Soda and Grace




Eric wouldn't let me take a picture of him. He kept turning his head so I had to catch him off guard!


These two never shut up! :) Just kidding but they can carry on a pretty lengthy conversation!


The Grace side of the mountain with all the farm land


The Soda side of the mountain. That's the Alexander Reservoir


This is the best picture I could get. In all the pictures I tried to take of all of them, at least one of them were looking a different way. This is the only picture I could get of two of them looking at me and smiling. Order is Rohbi, Masyn, and Bradyn


We stopped for lunch and found some sea shells so the kids set out to see who could find the most shells. And by kids I mean Eric too :)


Still looking....


Masyn decided he wanted to get down and play with "BroBro" and "Wobie"


What's a 4-wheeling trip without a little showing off?! Eric and Bradyn took off on a trail just to see where it went so Seth, Masyn, Rohbi and I stayed behind and found some straw bails to play on


Rohbi had to feel included too :)


After 4-wheeling all day, Seth still found the energy to wrestle around with all of the kids. I don't know where he found it because I was beat!


I'm worn out just looking at the pictures!

It was definately a fun weekend and I think the boys were able to take their minds off all the crap back home for a little bit! Hopefully they'll be able to make another trip down here but I think next time we will try to head up there!

"I lost my tooth!!!"

Tuesday, while Rohbi was eating lunch, we hear Rohbi yell that she lost her tooth. The neighbor dog had jumped up to lick her face and ended up knocking her tooth loose. She was so excited when it fell out and we had a hard time getting her to settle back down and finish eating her sandwich so we could get her off to school! At least it wasn't like her first tooth and she was chewing on it thinking it was a peanut! YUCK!! She is so excited about losing her teeth because the tooth fairy comes but I'm not too fond of sticking my finger in her mouth to feel how loose it is. The whole thing really grosses me out! She has lost 3 teeth total. Two she has lost while eating something and one she had pulled by the dentist.

This is the first tooth she lost where she thought she was chewing on a peanut.

This is the one she lost on Tuesday.

I'm a Life Timer!!!

Well, after 6 weeks of maintenance at Weight Watchers, I finally hit life time! Now, as long as I stay within a couple of pounds of my goal weight, I don't have to pay! I haven't been the best at staying on the plan but this gives me motivation to stay on track.

I'm Leavin' On A Jet Plane.....

I've recently gotten back in contact with my roommates from when I lived in Pocatello. We lost touch pretty much since we all went our separate ways. Anyway, it's been fun to get to know them again and get caught up on what has happened in each other's lives in the last 10 years (wow we're getting old!) Anyway, all three of our birthdays are in June so Jennifer and I decided to plan a trip to Oregon where Jayne Ann lives to visit and celebrate all of our birthdays! I just bought my tickets and I am so excited to go up there! It will be fun to talk about old times and just visit!

Shake Your Bootie!!!

I've always known Rohbi had a natural rhythm and she loves to dance. I've never gotten her in to dance lessons either because she didn't want to or she decided she did want to and we missed the sign up date. She was on the computer last night and found a song that she really liked on one of her websites and played it over and over again. When I finally found my camera, this is what I caught:

Coloring Easter Eggs

Saturday, the boys (Eric and my dad) decided to ditch us girls to go to an auction. So we decided to make a day of it. We went to the Easter Egg Hunt and Mom had some stuff to get done at home so Rohbi and I went home to color Easter eggs and then us girls were going to go out to lunch. Rohbi had a lot of fun. At first, I didn't want her to get her hands dirty and get the dye all over them so I was helping her lift the eggs out of the dye and putting them back in the carton. After a while, I decided it wasn't any fun if you couldn't color yourself while you were at it! She may have gotten a little carried away, but she had fun!

Easter Egg Hunt

Soda Lyon's Club sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt in the Soda city park so Saturday we showed up expecting to see eggs spread all over. Instead, when we showed up, we saw candy all over. Okay?? Anyway, Rohbi was excited and walked away with a TON of candy. Last year we were supposed to go to an Easter Egg Hunt in Burley with our friends up there. Eric and I accidentally slept in so we were late getting there and by the time we showed up, all the eggs were gone. A little boy walked up to each of the kids and handed them each an egg out of his bag. Come to find out, they showed up late so there were some kids who gave him a few eggs. He didn't have a lot of eggs in his bag but he sacrificed and gave up three of his. So this year, Eric and I wanted to make sure Rohbi shared if there were any kids who didn't get a lot or any. There was a little girl who showed up really late and pretty much all the candy was gone. I told Rohbi that she ought to give the little girl some of her candy. I thought she would walk up and just give her a few pieces but she reached in her bucket and gave the girl a huge handful of candy. There was another boy behind us who had also just gotten there and he was working at a little pile of candy he found and Rohbi just walked up to him also and put some more candy out for him to pick up. I was so proud of her! She has some issues with sharing so I didn't expect her to be that generous with her candy!
