I know that time will eventually tick itself down and Friday will in fact be here.  But it feels that time is stuck to the side of the jar.  Killin' me Smalls.  Our house has exploded.  The walls are still here but the inside needs a good purging to get better.  We got all of our stuff out of storage the other day.  A swift reminder that we (by which I point the finger mostly at myself) have yet again over indulged and have WAY TOO MUCH stuff.  Things.  Time.  Energy. Space. Money. Wasted.  And now all of that stuff is clogging my brain and spirit and it just NEEDS TO GO. Which it will (Cue yard sale next weekend). But for the next two weeks we will be wallowing through the mire of bad choices and over spending.  So getting ready for an quick overnight trip to SLC is putting me on shutdown.  I can't find socks.  Heaven knows I have washed and dried and even folded (some) socks.  Lots of them.

For Christmas we spent many hours road-trippin' to California to visit family.  First leg- Monument Valley at sunrise- Absolutely Beautiful   we stopped to visit great-grandma in Mesquite and had a wonderful time.  Sorry I didn't bust out the camera for that one.   Second Leg- just outside of Vegas for a Milk stop and some Muppet goodness:  The boys had a grand time making Charlie's lion, Roary, say "manahmana" like this: FINALLY- we arrived and Ian decided we needed a "droop shot" And then one of his brother: Then to Uncle Mike's birthday shindig: the big TWO NINE--next year's hullabaloo will be even more spectacular. This year the festivities included trick candles- heh heh heh. He ended up needing help from the nephew to extinguish the massive blaze. After dinner we got a bit Munchkinly. that's just the first 4 days.  more to come.  I know you're excited. 

For Spring Break we made a little road trip to Blanding.   Here we found one of Ian's favorite things: Ian is saying "chugga woo woo!" I've been workin' on the railroad, all the live long day.  In the car again... It's important to switch drivers in order to stay alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic.  TAKE A HIKE!  So we did. To White Rock that is. What you can't see here is that big brother just made this drop and fell right into an unforeseen hole.  Landon ended up getting down a different way. It's important to keep the wild animals corralled:   At Granny H and Grampa's house the boys got a thrill out of the wheel barrow.  Ian watching a movie or maybe watching us play Wii.   (*Sorry I didn't get pictures of him playing wii.  It was awesome. ) Aunt Tiff caught this boy drinking the milk off his cereal.  Something he loves to do right away THEN eat the cereal.  Looks like we have an AWOL Cheerio....
