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.

Mom's Random Stories Issue #3

Here's the latest addition of stories from my phone.

Her name is Rhonda.
She has been slacking off lately in the cleaning department.
She has a new obsession that is beginning to worry me.
Tormenting Piper & Dexter!!
Kennel time until her work is done. However, she followed
them and stood guard. Not sure but  think I heard a few evil giggle.
Rhonda is now banned from the house. Robots can be scary just ask Ranger.

Long Earred Bunny Rocker
So cute what baby could resist taking a ride.
A little surgery needed and it will be good as new.
Doctor Mom to the rescue.

Update from Logan.
Is that snow?
Yep!! In April.

Smoke Detectors
What do you do when it starts as a chirp and
less than 5 minutes they all start singing.
The dogs are hiding again. Quick check that the house isn't on fire. 
I'm searching for 9 volt batteries. Found them!!
All is quiet again.

Round 2 a few hours later.
We are not on fire! Thank goodness!!
The dogs are hiding again and Dave is taking them all down.
All down with the batteries removed.
They are either dirty or ready to be replaced.
Too late tonight this is a job for tomorrow.
We are going to enjoy the quiet. My ears are still ringing.

Piper
She is in desperate need of a haircut. One minor hiccup she needs
vaccinations to get one.
She was such a good girl and loved all the treats.
Time for those pesky shots and she started to wiggle.
It was a fun 15 minutes that all we could do is sit and watch.
DONE!

Oh the memories that can resurface when you look at your pictures. Stay tuned for another chapter.

Motorcycle Ride

Time for a weekend ride on the motorcycles.  Let's head towards Toquerville.

We made it!


Quick picture before getting lunch.

Fun statue

Fill up on tank.

Time to fill up the other tank.
Yummy lunch in LaVerkin.
Next stop home.

It was fun to get out and enjoy the sunshine. I definitely need to work on my balance and feeling confident that I won't fly off the back. Bless Dave he has patience with me being wobbly. 

It maybe time for another ride.

Weekend Full of Adventures

Warning!! Fun weekend ahead.... Grandma JeanAnn & I are finally making it to Gentri here in St. George.

Great seats
for their new Easter show.

I do believe this concert beats
their Christmas show hands down.

Rylee & Ruston 
Family lunch in Laverkin.
Ruston needs to run faster or set the timer for a few additional seconds.

Love seeing all the smiling faces.

Why do the weekends seem so short and the work weeks seem much longer. Everyone loves the weekend. I'm glad that we can still find time to some fun.
