Memorial Day

We took a long drive to our new favorite place in Idaho: Palisades
It was so dang beautiful. We now have lots of plans for hiking, backpacking, 
camping, where our future cabin will be built (ha!)...
 It was a little cold though so we didn't get out very much. And rainy. 
Which surprisingly, I don't mind.
 We found some snails but the kids didn't like touching them very much. 
They aren't use to them. 
When I was growing up in San Diego, we always had snails; big, gross, slimy ones. 
They don't bother me one bit.
 After you've stepped on a million of them, they're no longer a big deal...
 Here's a picture of all of us with our world famous square ice cream cones. 
They weren't exactly what we were expecting but they were delicious...


 Stephen got Play Dough which sounds really, really gross but he loved it.

 It was a no make-up day for me but doesn't Trevor look handsome??
On our way back from checking out hiking and camping spots, 
Trevor spotted this moose. 
We watched it for about 15 minutes, at one point driving away for a potty break and 
coming back and it was still sitting there. 
Apparently they don't care one bit about humans. 
After that we went to Sportsmans to get a few things and 
were able to show the kids the actual size of a moose head. 
This guy in the field was very deceiving as to his actual size~ they are humongous! 

We had a totally RAD day.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

He said what???

It was a lovely Sunday. The children played happily while I browsed the internet (I want to say I was looking at lds.org... but I wasn't) They were chattering with each other and I vaguely listened in the background of my head. It really was nice until Stephen said a naughty word~ to Emily. My lazy mind picked right up and I whipped my head around. "What did you just say" "I didn't know it was a bad word" "Yes you did. Otherwise you wouldn't be starting to cry right now" I felt just like the mom from that Christmas movie as I marched him right up the stairs and into the bathroom. Thank goodness I still buy bar soap. I stuck it right in his mouth and continued to lecture him about why we don't say those words and how those words hurt Heavenly Fathers feelings. I left the soap in for a full minute and he cried the whole time. And of course Trevor was standing around the corner smiling and smirking. But I was mad! And Stephen really di...
