SNOW!!

Zack, Michelle, Ty, Lori and Bryn drove to Colorado for Ty's spring break. As luck would have it, I was off work most of the same days, so we had a great time all together. We went to my parent's cabin in Arrowhead, CO and enjoyed some snow type activities. I thought I'd share some pics from our fun.

Zack & Ty getting some air!

Bryn inside & out

Ty & Lori using sleds like snowboards...Lori did really well

Where did your feet go?

Eating a "snow dog". Dad & Ty made a fire in the snow and we roasted hot dogs. It was a lot of fun. My stick was really long & I was able to rest it on the ground while I ate standing up.

Bryn doesn't like smiling for the camera, but I was able to get this one while she was playing with Zack.
It was my first time driving a snowmobile & it was a blast! Unfortunately Zack didn't get a good pic of my getting some air.

Easter

So, my family had our Easter Egg hunt a little early as we weren't going to be together on Sunday. It was fun to be all together as it doesn't seem to really happen all that often. I'm used to being around a lot of family for the holidays, so it's been weird for me...spending more holidays alone or with just my grandparents. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE being with my grandparents. I just miss what the holidays used to be like when we were kids. So here are some pics from the egg coloring and hunt.



We had a hard time getting all the kids to look and smile at the same time.

What in the world?

Ok, so I was driving home from work today and saw this lady walking across the street pushing a stroller. This in itself might not seem worthy of a post, BUT it was the kind of stroller & what was in it that had me taking another look & shaking my head. There was a little dog sticking it's head out of the zippered enclosure. SHE WAS WALKING HER DOG IN A DOG STROLLER!!!! Okay, am I crazy or is the purpose of taking your dog for a walk to have both you & the dog get some exercise? I couldn't believe it, some people take having your dog be your "baby" to extremes! LOL!!!!!

Sometimes It's Better to Ask First

A bishop was walking down the street one day when he noticed a young primary boy in his ward trying to press the doorbell of a home on the street. The boy was very small and the doorbell was too high for him to reach it, so the Bishop decided to help him by pressing the doorbell. Crouching down to the child's level, the Bishop smiled benevolently and asked, "And now what, young brother?" To which the boy replied, "Now we run!"

I thought this was funny. Although the kid might not think so when the Bishop walks him home! hehe

Joke for Today

I thought I would post this joke I was emailed today. I always love a good joke this time it's about a dumb blonde guy! Hooray!!!!

An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."
The Mexican! opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."
The blonde opened his lunch and said, " Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."
The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.
The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.
The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"
The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
(Oh, this is GOOD!!)
Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me. The idiot made his own lunch."

Hope you enjoyed!
Zack...I know not all blonde guys are like this....love you!

World Traveller to be

So, I finally turned in my application for a U.S. Passport! It was quite exciting for me. I have been wanting to get one for a few years now and within the last 6 months, it's become more and more important to me. I had the application filled out a few months ago, but needed to send for a copy of my birth certificate. I am one of the biggest procrastinaters so I just sent for it 2 weeks ago. I had to get the new application as the one would not be accepted after Feb. 1st. I'm so glad I finally got everything together and will be able to legally exit this country in 4-6 weeks. The picture didn't turn out half bad either. (I'll post a pic when I get the passport.) I don't have any travel plans for the future, but thought it would be good to have my passport for another form of ID and if the opportunity to travel abroad presents itself.
