Our Pinic Lunch at Bryce Canyon 2010

Here are the pictures of our lovely trip down to St George. Where we stopped on the way into St George and enjoyed a picnic at Bryce Canyon. We enjoyed a little hike as well. It was great way to start our trip.

St' George's Dinosaur Musem 2010

This year on our annual trip to St George for my UPHA convention we took the kids to the Dinosaur museum where we had fun looking at all the different types of dinosaurs there were, finding bones, and finding a treasure in Clay. The kids also enjoyed coloring pictures and making things at the museum.

Nature at it's best

Every year we go down to St. George for my work Annuals UPHA's convention. This year on the way down to St George we stopped at Bryce Canyon and then before heading back up to Salt Lake we went to Zion's National park and the Grand Canyon. Wow God created beauty everywhere and its been great to appreciate it and teach my children about it. We had a blast with picnics and hiking and enjoying Gods Creations.

T-Ball Spring 2010

Yes, the two monkeys played T-Ball this year for the first time and did well. At the first of the season they both didn't even know how to hold a bat, catch a ball or even put a glove on in the right hand. By the end of the season both of them were hitting the ball as the coach pitched to them, catching the ball in their glove. It was a great experience and they can't wait to do it again next Spring.

Side note Ty was going to be the only one playing T-Ball cause Kai'imi was in Hula well then that changed. Coach Ben who is also the kids soccer coach said that Kai'imi could join their team so she did. She was the only girl on the team but loved it.

Computer Class Graduation 2009/2010

Oh what a great school year Ty and Kai'imi had at Computer Class. They loved every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Ms. Marj is such a great and Patience teacher. This was their second year and I couldn't believe the improvement they made in a years time. Ty, Kai'imi and I can't wait for this coming school year.

If you have a girl, you know what this is like

Yes, Kai'imilani is all girl. She loves to do hair, paint nails, dress up and so on. She always is begging me to do my hair. I let her this one day and then she wanted to take a picture of it. She is sure great joy in my life and I know my hair will never go undone. I love you Kai'imi and am so blessed to have you.

THE Uninvited house guests! 4/7/10

This is a great memory but not ever wanting to repeat it. On Wednesday night Judy was dropping me off and we sat there for a little bit talking. As we were talking we noticed something on the roof bigger than a cat and even a puppy. So we got out and got closer to the roof where we recognize a Racoon. A great big one. I scream and called Bret who was in the house and told him to come out threw the back door. Anyways we watched it go down the chimney into the basement chimney. Well Bret and I never finished the fireplace in the basement we just sheet rocked over it. So there was no way of getting them out quickly. So we looked up what to do and called around. Animal control doesn't work with racoon's, other places would cost over 1000.00 depending on how many were down there and so on. So we read about how other people have gotten them out. So a week later Sunday morning we decided that they were down there long enough and we got the firecrackers, thanks to our neighbors the Tate and we threw some down the chimney and played loud crazy talk radio all day long. Every so many hours Bret would throw down some firecrackers. Lets say that evening when it came dark that mama racoon took her and her babies out and ran. It was a happy day for me, no more dreaming of crazy racoon's and all the possibilities of what they could of done to me and the kids and so on.
