Gopher Everet?!?

So we had a fun friend this summer that made my front lawn a sink hole and full of holes. I was so sick of looking at the holes and dirt mounds that I thought I am going to flush it out. I turned the hose on full blast and stuck it down one of the holes, for about 15 minutes. I never saw water come out anywhere. I figured I was dealing with something crazy. I consulted my neighbor he said he thought it was a family of gophers because he had never seen it this bad. GREAT!!! So we set some traps but they kept digging around them.

Until one day SUCCESS!!! We caught one and we did not have any more troubles with them. It was only one very busy gopher!! We found out that a gopher can have tunnels 300 feet long!! I am sure glad we caught him, Spencer had to "take care" of him

Phoenix

We escaped the cold Utah weather and went to visit Spencer's Brother and wife in Sunny Phoenix. All we did was swim, it was the perfect get away.

This is what Grant liked to do, buckle and un-buckle.

The ducks came for a swim.

We love Phoenix I think we will make this a yearly trip. Got me out of the Winter blues.

Make-A-Wish Easter Egg Hunt

We were invited to the Make-A-Wish Easter Egg Hunt at the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. It was so much fun the kids loved picking up the eggs and walking around the park. They were having contests to see who could find the biggest dinosaur.

Grant was so excited when he opened the eggs to find CANDY!!

Scarlet, striking a pose.




They found the biggest, meanest dinosaur there!!

Grant...

Hit it on the fireplace hearth, glue.

Chicago for the Big 30!!

I had the surprise of my life when I got the chance to go to Chicago, thanks Spenney!!! I got to go with my favorite people my Mom, Dad and one and only my sissy Randi. We laughed so hard and ate a ton. Such a fun city but man was it cold.

Eating, we had our own room it was cool!

My dad and I at Ghirardelli, we got the dark hot chocolate. Notice how large our milks are and that my straw is standing straight up!?! Delish!

Who needs the kids to look like idiots!

Really cool bridges here, beautiful city.

Thanks for a GREAT 30th Birthday!!!

The Shreadder...
