Top 10 Reasons Why the Dunes Trip Sucked...

1- It was Cold, it rained, and the wind blew most of the time. We had to set the Camp Chef behind this board to block the wind from blowing out the pilot light.

2- We All Forgot Something (I forgot my baby meds. & Allison forgot her helmets)

3- The line bringing water into our toilet broke (while I was peeing) and water was everywhere. So we had to turn the pump off and had no water in the trailer just the supposedly clean water from the line right out side the outhouse. I'm hoping no one comes home with Hepititus B.

4- Spencer and Ethan both got flat tires (on different days while in the middle of a ride).

5- I left my knee cap on a trial along with the massive rock that shot off Ryan's back tire and wacked me.

6- My Parent's truck died in Delta while taking Spencer's flat tire to get fixed. Josh and I had to go rescue them and their truck is still there. (Along with the trailer that has taken up residence in the Ranger Station)

7- Diane had her tonsels removed on Monday and her stitches came out. She started puking up blood (looked more like Jell-o) and I get woken up to the sound of panic when I'm told to "take the baby (really meant all 4 kids), we're taking her to the hospital"

8-My adorable reason for getting no sleep: Addy

Between holding her and keeping Chad from falling to his death off the top bunk there was no hope.

9- LOTS OF POOP!

Travis is sick so his medicine made him have diarrhea, Addy has army green crap, and Kevin produces something that glows in the dark and should be labeled nuclear waste. A guy at the sewage disposal center forgot to attatch a hose to his septic tank and upon opening the door recieved a handful of crap (literally). Poor guy, he definitly wouldn't be riding home in my car. I'd tie him to the roof.(But then I would feel sorry for whomever chose to follow me, but I'm sure Kyle would laugh)

10- Apollo Burger has no changing tables! I had to lay the baby on the floor (ontop of a blanket of course, what kind of babysitter do you think I am?) and while sqatting to change said diaper I tore a hole in the crotch of my favorite pants.

All in all it was the worst Dunes Vacation ever, but I managed to laugh about it so I could avoid crying. Who want's to come next year?

Isn't She Adorable?

Josh: The Traitor

Last night for family night we went to the park after dinner to play football and ultimate frizbe. (Or at least was suppose to be)

After an extremely humiliating attempt by me to throw, catch, and run a frizbe I got pummeled by Amy, who in turn fell and ripped off the protruding mound of fat on the upper half of my body, formally known as a boob (I knew I was dead).

While laying on the wet grass I was devising a plan to take up residence when the family changed games to football. I was team Captain, Little Brother was opposing captain. Of course Josh was my first pick, the kid can run faster than anyone I know. In my attempt to make it so I didn't have to do much work Josh realizes that the teams are unfair.

WHAT?

So his noble self decided that he would switch teams to make the teams equal. Right... So of course you know the rest... their team won and we lost all because Josh was a traitor.

Josh says he wanted to play against me because it would have been more fun, whatever, I covered Mom for the rest of the game.

It just made me realize how out of shape I am, I think I'm still sweating from running last night. It's pretty nasty.

We plan to have a rematch this weekend at the Sand Dunes and there is no way my team is going to lose again. So watch out Little Brothers' team. YOU ARE GOING DOWN!

Side Note: My Daffoldills bloomed on Saturday morning, it's finally starting to feel like spring. They made me think of Grandma, because she would wait for them to bloom every year. Oh Grandma. Sigh.

Dinner Last Night

Said Little Brother to Spencer:

"Would you like to try my lasagna?"

(Apparently we have found Aaron's true talent!)

AND...

Mom and Spencer burnt the pizza, so I got a pizza sliver in my lip (Yes that's right, a sliver, it made me bleed and everything).

*Moral = Don't ever eat burnt pizza!

Happy Easter

On Easter Sunday we went to church. I met some really nice people in my new ward (yes, split #3 in one year) and the bishop is coming over on Wednesday. We went to my Mom's for lunch and an easter egg hunt. It was crazy because not only is there candy involved but there is money up for grabs as well. So far we've decided that next year Dan is not allowed to hide the eggs; it's called an Easter Egg Hunt not an Easter Egg Excavation. Yup, he buried some of them. We then went to Josh's Mom's for dinner and to see the family. Overall it was a great day, here are some photos of the blessed occasion.

After the hunt we counted our money. Josh & I got $19.25, Amy & Spencer got about $30.00, and Allison & Little Brother walked away with $25.00 (I think).

Fencing At the Gubler's

Yea, we are finally getting a fence. This weekend we decided to set the poles because it's really the only free weekend we have almost all summer. First we used an auger to dig the holes.

The North Side of the Yard was the worst, Kyle was so tired by the end it knocked him over.

The South Side was a breeze.

Travis was there to make sure all the flags were in thier right place.

Everyone had their jobs...
Amy = Garbage Girl , Spencer = Official Concrete Mixer

Amber = Gilligan (Kyle's Nickname cuz of my hat, but I didn't want a sunburn)
Allison = "Village Uncoordinated"

Kyle & Aaron = Hole Maintenance

Handsome = Supervisor, Levelor, String Holder, Boss

Alas, my fence poles are in and it looks awesome.

( With any luck my yard will recover and look nice again!)

Apparently There Was a Worm Massacre on my Porch Last Night!

Their free aerating services will be missed!
