WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!
We went camping at Henry's Lake up in Idaho. My parents, Todd and Alynn, Elizabeth, Caroline and Louis, Rhett and Shantel, Kade and Ryker and Sid and Sparky and us all headed up! Henry's Lake is beatiful! We had a lot of fun. The first night we ate dinner and then sent the kids and older boys out to fish with no luck. The next day, the older boys went fishing with no luck then we ate breakfast, girls had pedicures, then we all headed to West Yellowstone for some shopping. When we got back to camp they went fishing again with no luck. That night are big plans were to have dutch oven dinner- BBQ ribs, Chicken strips, cheese-bacon potatoes, apple and berry cobbler. Yummy! Then the all mighty storm hit! We waited thinking it would just pass over, but it only got worse. We tried to salvage any of the dutch oven dinner that we could, but ended up with the ribs and chicken and some of the potatoes were done. Todd and Alynn's tent broke in half and the trailer my parents were staying in started leaking so at last my parents and Todd's family decided to head home. Us and the Chatelains ate what dinner there was and played games in the trailer! The next morning- we had a huge mess to clean up- and then we decided to head home. What a fishing trip!!!!- no fish! So we went home and then took all the kids to the fish hatchery for a guaranteed fish catch. They caught 8 fish and Brandon grilled them up for him and Paige while Conner and I ate Chick Fil-A. All in all it was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Next time- WE ARE STAYING IN A HOTEL!!!!!

We decided to be spontaneous and head for a weekend in SLC. Not really, I forgot to plan anything for Memorial Weekend so I got on Expedia found a hotel with a pool, called Rhett and Shantel and to Salt Lake we headed. We went to Hogle Zoo. It rained, but we still had a blast. Here are some pics:

This is what happens when you leave your jacket at home. You have to squeeze into your wifes- huh, Rhett?

I know I am not the best blogger or even close to somewhat good- I just don't always find the time to get on and update! When I get home from work, I help the kids with their homework, fix dinner, clean up the house and then finally get to sit down to watch TV. I do have some favorite shows that I love to see- so Brandon has to watch the kids so that there is total silence when I watch! My favorite- Grey's Anatomy- I have not missed any episodes; American Idol- although I like Danny, I think Adam should win; Brothers & Sisters; Private Practice and Desperate Housewives. Brandon went to St. George on Sunday (mother's day) and won't be back until Wednesday- being a single mom really sucks! I don't know how women do it! It is not only physically draining, but emotional as well. Anyway, I did have a great mother's day! Conner made me a book from school. The first page was a fill in the blank that the kids had to complete. It said: My mom is 5'8" tall; my mom weighs 102 pounds (thanks Conner!); my mom has 2 eyes (instead of green) I laughed so hard. He asked me why I was laughing and I said, "honey, you should have written green". He says, "I thought it was a dumb question- everyone has 2 eyes! Well, it made my day. Isn't it fun getting homemade gifts from school? OK, well that seems to be enough for now- talk to you later!
