Family Weekend

It's the weekend and time to relax. Nope! We are headed to Cedar City to a car show. We had a detour to Beaver Dam for cheaper gas. Then off to Cedar City where is is hopefully cooler. Nothing is guaranteed.

Wd made it

Captian America
and entourage.

The amazing Rylee
the winner of multiple raffle prizes.

Time for family dinner
Ranger is ready to eat.

It's quiet
Everyone is eating

Our amazing chef
The food was great and the company was even better.

I love spending the weekends together as a family. Even better when we have great food.

Meanwhile At Home

The kids are in Japan and we are home with a couple of visitors.

First stop

They are both starting to blow their coats.

After losing a pound of hair.
He is ready to eat.

Full stomachs and bathroom run.
Naptime!!

Day 2 and another brushing.

Another nap

This scene is really familiar.
Ranger & Piper wrestling all week.

Everyone is home
A beautiful sunset on the road home.

Lake Meade

Google Maps took us an the what they claimed the fastest route home. Not so sure but it sure was pretty. It was an hour longer and came out by Overton. It's been a long time since we visited this area. Somethings change but more has stayed the same. Time to relax and get some rest without 2 extra bodies in our bed.

Kids Trip To Toyko

The kids are off on an adventure together. That in itself will be part of the adventure. They are off to Japan and even flying standby. Enjoy the pictures they sent me over the trip.













It looks like they all had fun. Everyone came home in one piece. Who knows what their next adventure will be.

Happy Birthday To Me

It's not every day that you turn 60 it's time to have some fun. Dave already treated me to Raising Caines on the way home from Lake Havasu. I don't want to cook, clean, or do laundry. Hopefully, my family will give me that one birthday wish.

Looks very relaxing
Why am I the one taking the picture and not snuggling.
Could be I don't let Piper up on the couch.

YUM!!
My favorite Galaxy Cookies from Crumble.

Dave & Ryder bought the cake.

Ruston & Ryder cutting the cake.
Not until i blew out the candle.
Can't have 60 candles since it could then be a waxed covered cake.
YUCK!!

Surprise!!
My amazing team did a great job spoiling me.

They did an awesome job.

Not sure what 60 is supposed to feel like. One minute I feel like 80 and then 20. This decade is going to be rough if it doesn't make up it's mind. I guess that I had better say buckled up the ride could be a little rough. But so worth it!!

Road Trip - Lake Havasu

It's time for a weekend getaway without the kids. We're headed to Lake Havasu to enjoy the heat, relax, and explore. Dave has been wanting to go back after a quick trip with Ryder to pick up another car. I have never been and I would like to see the London Bridge.

Trafalgar Square
It's a whole lot less crowded than the orginal.

We need food!

There it is!
The London Bridge
Oops! I have my bridges mixed up.
I was thinking Tower Bridge.
True story: The buyer also had the bridges mixed up. Imagine his suprise when 
it arrived. 

Loved the ducks 
The ducklings following their mama.

Walking underneath.
You can't do that in London.

Offical!!

Found the place we
were looking for. It's lunchtime.
Amazing hamburgers and not crowded.

Time for thrifting.
We even found an old Ragady Andy & Ann dolls.
Too expensive.

Live Auction / Antique Store

Plus doll museum
A whole lot of creepy dolls.

This looks tropical
Nope!
A public beach on the lake.

Catching some sun.
Once again no crowds.

My favorite lunch
Early birthday present.

It was a fun trip not much relaxing. Instead a whole lot of exploring. I was told the reason not large crowds. The snowbirds have headed North due to the heat. Spring Break was 2 weeks ago.

Crazy Weekends


It's the weekend and once again we are busy. Rylee is hosting a baby shower in the backyard all hands on deck.


My job
wrapping the floppy bunny rocker.
This is a test of my wrapping skills that are not best with normal gifts.

Done!!
It doesn't look to bad. If I do say so myself.
I am always open to lessons.

While the party is in full swing
We took the crazy dogs to the desert to play.

Can you spot the popcorn?
Ranger couldn't find it. Indy helped him out and ate it herself.

Side Note
Piper got a cute haircut with a new groomer
at the new Petco in town.
This will definitley reduce the shedding.

 She love toys.
Even ones that don't belong to her.
Sorry Indy & Ranger you will need to come back to play with them.
