ANOTHER POST





So finals are tomorrow, my everyday 30 hour+ job cuts down to 10 hours soon and I don't know what I am going to do.. heheh! I am excited to have some more time with my kids and hubby and for the summer to come. We have lots planned and I hope it all pans out. 
HOWEVER I love my job. I love working with students and trying to make a difference.  Here are some pics of my training that Jim accompanied me to. He even took classes with me but it was in Price what else was there to do.  He was a great taffy puller and the only man in the class!! AAHH how sweet...It was really fun and I look forward to next year but lets get summer here first!

LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS Oh MY!

Me the kids, my friend Lauren,  and the Bone Family got to enjoy a nice day at Hogle Zoo. It was great weather and the kids really enjoyed it. Ryker just hung out in the his stroller and rolled along. We miss dad but he had to work. It was good times however if you go to this zoo to look for lions and hippos there are none to be found!

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.


Which Disney Princess Are You?

Our trip to Sunny St. George

Hey All

Well we had a nice weekend in St George! It was warm, sunny and a great break from school and work. We took my 13 yr old cousin Staci with us to help out and that was great.
I got to play in the pool, have lunch with my old college roomie Annaca and her 2 adorable girls at a park, walk through her new house and shop a little .. OK alot!

Jim got to so what he loves best FLY FLY FLY!!! It was a great time. He was still good about his "diet" but enjoyed the time with his flying buddies.

The kids had fun too especially in the pool. Jo was a little water shy at first and wouldn't get in w/o both the water tube and floaties, then she went to just floaties and playing on the steps then finally the last day she was swimmin in the water with floaties but all by herself. It was great! RYKER on the other hand loved the water once he was in and loved jumpin in to our arms from the side. He still didn't like getting his ears wet but didn't mind it in the face as much as we had many splashin wars with him.
We also bought the chipmunk movie and watched it down there. It was really cute I highly recommend it totally brought back the old days of watching the cartoons on TV.
It was good times really and hard to come home to SNOW.. yes more SNOW in APRIL. We really would love to live there! 
 NOW tomorrow Jim and I are off to Price UT for a 4-H Conference. It will be fun to go to a bunch of classes, learn new stuff like how to garden... and have a small get away with Jim that is paid for mostly and on the clock!  WATCH for a slideshow!

An update on us.. and some Random Pics!

JO loves to put things on her head!
Jim, Amy and Ryker jammin out to Guitar Hero III on the Wii Easter Sunday while Jolene and Jo are up playing tea party! 
Ryker too likes to put things on his head, and when he does so he says Dah ta dah!!


Hey Everybody!
We are about 8 hours away from heading down to Sunny St George. It will be fun to get together with Annaca and her kids hopefully.  Jim will be flying and we will be out having fun in the sun.. well we hope there is sun.
Things have been busy since Easter but good. I have to brag about Jim for a minute. He is awesome. He made a goal in Feb to lose 40 lbs by April Fools day and he did it! He looks so good. I am going to have to make him pose so I can get a shot of him! I am so jealous of how fast the weight just keeps melting off him but he is eating soo well and exercises daily so he deserves it! He has been an inspiration to many and I love him!
