Working in the Garden

Stuff is starting to bloom in our gardens! Everything is still very small and young, but it will grow and we are really enjoying working on getting things how we like them. Here's a collage of some of what's happening, we'll update as the summer progresses!
Enjoy the beautiful colors!

Memorial Day Weekend

On Friday we went to visit Besther in Ogden, UT!!! We had a bit of a crazy day getting ready for our trip. Remember the accident that Mr. Oz was in? Well, his truck finally went into the shop to be fixed and the insurance company arranged for a rental vehicle for our family for the week! PTL, we had a vehicle with air conditioning that we could drive to UT! So in the middle of Baby's nap on Friday, the Enterprise guy ("we pick you up!") came and picked us up... which was nice, but made for a not-so-fun packing experience later when Baby's schedule was all messed up and Da Mama had to pack the new rental truck by herself. Oh well, we made it and picked Daddy up at work and headed out about 6:30 that evening. We got there pretty late, but Besther was waiting, including Storm (Cooper's new girlfriend) and Rascal the Cat. Harley and Stella (cats) were no where to be seen--they're shy :)

On Saturday after a yummy breakfast we went out to the Dinosaur Park and an early dinner at the Prairie Schooner Restaurant Steakhouse where you eat your meal in a wagon surrounded by a starlit sky. Totally Mr. Oz's kind of thing. And the rest of us thought it was pretty cool as well! Besther's friend Justin came over for awhile and the boys played baseball in the backyard. On Sunday we attended their church, Grace, and followed that up with some naps. We took a drive up to Snow Basin where the 2002 Winter Olympics were held. Beautiful!!! We also stopped at Union Station to climb on some trains, and eat dinner at Roosters. Yum!

We had a wonderful weekend with friends and are so glad that we've been able to see them during these past two years living out west. Thankful that God provided comfortable, old friends so close! Who knows, we probably see them more now than if we both still lived back east! They live in an amazing place -- so when they say come visit, you should take them up on it, you won't be disappointed! ;)

Here are some pics of our fun:

Happy Birthday Dan-Dan!

We love you!

Watch This Muted

You may want to MUTE this while you watch it...

He's very determined, so much that he's mad!

Spiderman: "[Baby] your Daddy is the Goon-Tucket of Death."

He's Okay.

My husband was in a car accident tonight. He had been out in Star doing two rototilling jobs and was on his way around 8pm. He was at the intersection of Franklin and Robinson. It was his turn at the stop sign so he pulled out into the road and more than half-way across, a woman driving a Charger ran right into him! She completely crunched the front of her rental car (she's from VA, here visiting family) but apparently the truck just has a dent in the fender. I haven't seen it yet since he didn't make it home until 10pm and it's too dark to go see... Unfortunately there seems to be some damage to the steering wheel, etc. so we are going to take the truck in to get it looked at. Obviously any damages will be covered by her insurance. Praise God for protecting my wonderful husband! Things could have turned out a different way, but I am so glad that he came home tonight, safe and sound. Thank you, Lord for your protection!

Update:
The truck will be sitting at home for a few days...the front L tire is leaking really bad (you can actually hear it hissing) so we taped it up... and if you look closely it appears that maybe the axel is bent, notice the tire is tilted. Anyway, we'll see when the guy comes tomorrow to check it out, if he actually shows up...

Video Bar

I have added a new video bar on the right so that I don't have to keep uploading videos on here separately. So check my Youtube channel to view our little family in action! You can select the title of each video (underneath video viewer screen) and it will take you to our YouTube page to watch some of the other ones we have on there!

For my Mom on Mother's Day

Mom, I thought you'd enjoy watching this on your special day. I love you!

I was clearing my memory cards on my cameras and found this video on the internal memory of my older camera... didn't even know it was there. =)
