Catch Up!

Braeden and I going for a ride!
Brae, Kate and Papa. Pops is bending his knees to make Brae look taller.
Kisses goodbye from Deke and Lisa.
Bryce, Caroline and Drew at the lake. Too cold to swim!
Tom, Caroline and Collin packing to go home. We have the dinky tent trailer for our whole family while my mom and dad have their imposing motor home for two in the background. Okay. They did let Braeden sleep on their pull out couch, which was most helpful. Thanks mom and dad!

Since I didn't blog for several months, I thought I do a little catching up.

Every year my family goes to Palisade's State Park, near Manti, Utah on Memorial Day Weekend. We love it there. We camp, golf, fish, play games, swim (depending on the weather), and laugh together and at one another! We love this trip and our kids would never allow us to miss it.

This year was a bit cold and there was no swimming, so we decided to try something new and rent ATV's. It was a blast. I should have taken the camera with me because the views on the trails were incredible. At one point I could see the Manti Temple.

Also an update on the home formerly occupied by Earl. I'm healing nicely. In fact I'm going a bit stir crazy not being able to do much! I'm now just feeling a bit stiff, especially when I'm sitting too long. The big milestones overcome: coughing, sneezing, going to the bathroom (ooooohhhh that was scary) and laughing. Katelynn nearly caused a relapse when she caused me to laugh so hard, I was doubled over in pain. She came into my room while I was watching an episode of Ellen (I had enough of HGTV. In fact I've had enough of TV all together). Anyway Ellen was playing a game like the Newlywed game, but with mothers and daughters. The question was: What was the most embarrassing thing you ever caught your mother doing? A. Making Whoopie B. Getting drunk at a party C. Telling a white lie. Well Katelynn looks puzzled and asks, "What's making whoopie? Is it when you catch your mother farting?" It still makes me laugh. I love her innocence. In fact I was laughing so hard I never did answer her question. May she stay so sweet and innocent!!!!
