Headed to Round Valley...

Tomorrow we are going home to visit.  We haven't been to RV since Thanksgiving...the kids are excited!  I will be excited when we get there! LOL!  The packing and traveling are such a pain...

I am hoping to go around and get pics of some places around RV...Greer, South Fork, Alpine, Big Lake, Nelson's, Saffle Canyon...We will be up for 4 days so it's a lot to cram in.  But it's so pretty up there too!  We'll see what really end up doing...we have lots of family to visit with too...

Here's a pic of each of the kids from today at the park...and MORE HERE TOO!

Happy Birthday, Chaz!

Yesterday was Charlie's birthday!  He asked me to make him a Red Velvet Cake.  I ruined the frosting so we waited til today to have cake.

The kids and I got him a Wii game...Wii Play, National Treasure 2, a Wii Nunchuck and a Wii sports set.  The girls and I picked out a card for him that said "A long long time ago..." and inside..."You were born!" and it played the Star Wars theme! haha! The kids loved it!

We've been wanting to go to the Highland games for a few years but we always seem to miss them. Whether we forget or are out of town. But this time we made a point to go. Charlie knows the man who has been organizing it and they have been trying to keep it going so they need all the support they can get.

Well I don't think they will have a problem with that. There were plenty of people there!

It was really neat to see everyone all dressed in their kilts and dresses. I hadn't ever been to a period type event before, so it was fun!

On the way in I stopped and asked a man if I could take a pics of him and he said, "Sure, I don't know why in the world for though." haha! Cuz I am a big nerd like that and I want to take pics of everything! haha!

So here he is! LOL! Too bad I can't find him again and tell him, I took your pic so I could put you on the net and make you famous! HAHA!

We didn't end up watching the actual games very much.

There were lots of booths and the kids loved "the Pautorium". It had lots of cool weapons. It had swords, daggers, knives, wands, scepters and jewelry.

And the shop keeper was dressed pretty cool!

The boys got to tryout this jumping contraption...lol...I can't remember what it was called. Seth got some good air and tried a back flip but said he couldn't get it. I think Corbin was a little nervous about it. He had a good time though!

After we spent most of the morning at the "games", we headed down the path to Watson Lake. It is such a pretty place! A great place for photos! The scenery is beautiful!

LOTS AND LOTS MORE PICS!

The April Pack Meeting was moved to the first week of May. Which was probably a good thing for all. The end of April seemed pretty crazy.

The theme of the Pack Meeting was Magic! Each of the boys got to learn and perfect a magic trick to perform for everyone. Corbin had told me that he needed 7 tricks for it and I couldn't understand how they were going to pull that off. LOL! But like I said before, they only needed 1. Corbin did a bag trick where he showed you, by shaking the bag upside down, that the bag was empty and then waved his wand over the bag and magically pulled out tissues. All the boys did a great job and every one had a good time!

Corbin also finally got his Bobcat badge...he earned it months ago. But somehow they only had the Mother's pin and card. But they also ended up giving him another pin and card. So he has 2 cards and pins now. LOL! I need to get one of the pins back to them. So he got turned upside down again...and made sure he warned them not to let his pants fall off again...LOL! Which is what happened last time.

Lots more pics HERE!

Blog, blog, blog all day long...

Blog, blog, blog while I sing this song!

LOL!

We have had a busy few weeks!  Busy for us anyway!  And I have been slackin' off on the blogging.

Charlie had his first softball game on the 6th.  He hadn't played since 2006 so it was fun to get out to a game again!

The kids had a great time running around and playing on the playground.  They have never paid much attention to the games.

I had a good time taking pics! Of course!

Charlie's team did great...but it was one of those games where you just feel bad for the opponents...They won something like 26-6.  The other team just wasn't having a good day.  We weren't able to make it to his 2nd game.  It was on a school night at 8, but this time their team got a good game and had to work for their runs.  In the end they lost by two but Charlie said it was good fun!

As always! More pics HERE!
