Goblin Valley

We went to Goblin Valley a few weeks ago,
and had so much fun. The weather was perfect.
Just above 80 was as hot as it got.
We hiked Little Wild Horse Canyon during the afternoon
to get out of the sun, the narrows are everyone favorite.
The next morning we hiked through the
Valley of the Goblins. Its funny -the Valley used to take us
hours to get to the rim and back, but this year
we did it in less than 2 hours. WOW it's
wonderful having the kids big enough to hike at a
normal pace and Greg didn't have to carry anyone on his back.

Here is Savanah, on top of a Goblin in the Valley

of the Valley of the Goblins

Tyler was a huge help with the younger kids.
Here they are entering a cave, that at the back
of it you can lifted up through a hole that Greg
and I are to big to fit through

Here is the family, minus me, walking out
Little Wild Horse Trail. Fun family time!

This is at the begining of the Littlw Wild Horse trail

This picture is a tradition. We take this same picture
each year when we go down.
It's been fun to see the kids at different age in all the pictures

Aydelyn was in her first dance recital.
Her class was so cute, they were maids.
I think Aydelyn smiled the biggest!!
She loved every second of it.

Here is Tyler trying to head the ball.
He's had a fun season and their team is preparing
for western regionals in Hawaii this june.

Christains soccer

Here is D trying to block out the other team.

This is the U12 Striker Boys. They played hard all season
and had a good time. This group of boys is a fun, energetic bunch, they ALL
love to laugh.

TWILIGHT
Here is the trailor

you can't tell me you don't get chills when he saves her from the van, the way he looks up at her after. I agree he's not what I have imagined, but his smile in the last sceen, right before he swings her onto his back, is pretty sexy.

car crash, almost

Yes, we were just feet away from a car crash thurs. afternoon. Me, Christain and 3 other soccer players were making our way to "way the hell up there Roy, when I in the carpool lane see a little white car in the middle lane jerk to the right then left then come swirving across the lanes to slam head first into the middian, like 3 car lengths infront of me. It was so flippin scary, anyway, the car crashes into the middian then I'm in shock or something because I don't swirve just keep driving straight, but slowing down, am driving even with the car as it proceeds to flip sideways 2 or 3 time. Pieces of the car are flying all over the place, but somehow not hitting us, we were crazy lucky. And all during this I'm on the phone with Lori giving her a play by play, as if I'm watching a movie. Maybe that helped me not to freakout, I don't know but it was crazy. I hung up the phone, swore, and pulled over. Several people pulled over to help, they pulled the class away and the women was talking and moaning, they ended up life flighting her to the hopspital. I hope shes ok.
So the boys in my car were freaked out, (two had cell phones) and calling all their friends telling them what happend, and their like "then Christains mom said the s word.." I'm thinking, "your lucky thats all I said". GOOD GRIEF!
