Wrestling this year was a lot of fun. We did the Monticello, Blanding, and Durango tournaments. Both boys improved a lot and had tons of fun. I think Steve had more fun than both of them combined though. My boys are lucky to have such a great coach.






And a random picture of Kessia and Sienna playing at grandma's house.

Parker came home from school yesterday all excited. Our conversation went something like this:

Parker: Mom, at school we made a bird feeder. We covered a pinecone with butter and put bird seed on it.

Me: Oh, that's pretty cool.

Parker: Ya, me and Bronsen are going to hang it up, and when the birds come, we'll shoot them.

Me: Why would you want to shoot them?

Parker: Why not?

Me: Because Heavenly Father made them and we should only shoot thing that are pests, or that we are going to eat.

Parker: (pause) OK I'll eat it.

And he runs off to get his nerf gun. Later he came in and said, "I wish I had some camo"

I so have boys!! They are definitely not city boys!

We celebrated Bronsen's birthday last month. After going to the airshow in Phoenix he was excited to have an airplane/fighter jet themed party. We invited a bunch of rowdy boys over, had missile target practice, made glider planes, and best of all we had a pilot's training course (obstacle course). The kids all loved it. I was too busy to get many pictures, except for cutting the cake. I'm glad Bronsen had such a great birthday and is a part of our lives.

Over Spring Break we got a chance to go down to Phoenix to stay with Steve's grandma. It is always nice to go down where it's warm. We did a lot of fun things, maybe too many. It wasn't our best family trip, but it was still fun.

Sienna was very excited about this ice cream cone, and even more excited about all the attention she was getting.

We hit a Rockies spring training game.


Can you tell it was a little hot!

On Saturday we went to Luke Air Force Base to watch an airshow and the Air Force Thunderbirds. Bronsen loved getting all the autographs of any soldiers.

We had some attitudes on this trip. Unfortunately, I contributed to that. Yes, sometimes moms just want their own way too. Imagine that! We tried hard to get a good picture, but at this point the kids were all mad about something, so we decided to take a mad picture. Hey, it's a memory right?


We did get in a round of golf. Fred even found us a course that would allow the kids to go with us, and didn't cost a fortune. I had a great time trying out my new clubs. Hopefully we'll get in a little more golf this summer.



In the end Chucky Cheese's won as the best thing we did on the trip, although the play area at Burger King in Kayenta came in a close second. It's just hard to beat! We enjoyed all the fresh fruit off of grandma's tree, enjoyed seeing her and Steve's parents. We had a good time and hopefully made a few good memories.
