Moab Pictures

We had to see atleast one jeep roll down potato salad. That is the best part, watching drunk people ruin their vehicles.


Calvin, Emma and Katie with the Easter Bunny. Calvin one a little stuffed duck at the Easter egg hunt and he wouldn't stop quacking.

Jon's RC crawler. He made this from scratch, from the frame, to the engine, to the wiring, everything! And it went everywhere.

I know this picture is out of order but for some reason it will not move. This is Easter morning at our house.

Here is Jon in the truck, Lily peacefully sleeping in the backseat as jon tries for 20 minutes to get up this hill and he finally makes it.

Only a small part of the jeepers in front of my Dad's jeep.

Lily Bug in her cute swimsuit, playing with my sunglasses.

Here we are at the easter egg hunt, it was impossible to get the kids to look at the camera.


Wonderful Moab weekend, horrible real estate weekend

Moab was so much fun, besides Calvin throwing up from getting car sick and Lily having a fever of 102 (she cut her first tooth). It was great weather and great 4-wheelin. We took the kids on Fins and Things jeep trail and they had a blast. Jon's truck made it through the toughest obstacle, at one point we thought he would have to push the mountain to get past the hill but he didn't give up (because the guys never do) and he made it up. Calvin thought riding in my dad's jeep was the best thing in the world. I think he loved it more than Bob the Builder. We watched Calvin do the Easter egg hunt at a park in Moab and we took Lily Swimming for the first time. She looked so adorable in her swimming suit and she loved splashing in the water. Jon got to drive his little RC crawler that he has been building for weeks and it drove great. It could side hill like a spider. It was fun to watch. We came home late Saturday night so that we could have Easter morning at our house and go to church. Then we had Easter dinner at Jon's Dad's house which was very fun and Calvin got even more candy. We actually have enough candy to feed a small country for a week. We had a great time; however, when I was gone both of my under contract listing fell through. So they are back on the market. It is okay though, I think they will both sell soon. And one of the buyers was driving me crazy. I think they were not meant to get these awesome houses. The right people will come a long soon. And Calvin made my bad day go away by saying the sweetest thing. We were sitting in sacrament meeting and I lifted Calvin on to my lap and said "I love this boy" and kissed him on the forehead. He looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and long dark eyelashes and said "I love this girl" and kissed my lips. It was so sweet, he made me feel so much better. Enjoy the Moab pictures.

New calling again

So, last week the bishopric called and said they needed to come over and talk to me. I was quite worried because I already had two callings. I wondered what they wanted. It ends up that they wanted me to be the new Laurel advisor. Yeah, I love Young Women's. They took away the Relief Society calling. So I only taught twice. I enjoyed it though. The program calling should be gone soon, but who knows. This new calling will be really fun. I hope I can find time for everything. Things are so busy around here. I got two listings under contract last week and I am working with 2 other ones and 3 buyers. I just hope these deals close so that I can get paid for all of my hard work. I love being busy, it keeps my mind and body working and it makes me feel good.

Update on the kids

Calvin has been so imaginative lately. He wears his super man cape and hard hat around everywhere, even to the store. He says he's super Calvin to the rescue (from a cartoon "Super Why") and Bob's dad (From "Bob the Builder"). It is very cute. The cape is from Jon's childhood. Nancy made it for him and it is reversable so he could be Superman or Heman. What a fun thing to pass on.


Last week Calvin was playing in the garage with Jon and his friend Joe and they told Calvin that he was "One of the Guys". I guess that really made him feel good because whenever I call his name he says "I'm not Calvin, I'm the guys". It cracks me up. And sometimes he'll randomly add "I'm the guys and the farmer" from the farmer in the dell song.


Lily has started to army crawl. She will go from sitting to scooting, to leaning forward and army crawling. It is really fun to watch. And she is so fun to dance with. Whenever I spin she laughs and laughs.
