We got some free rocks from some people in our ward, so now we are officially working on our yard! But, it's very hard work to do by hand, as Stuart can tell you! He worked on it on Saturday in the rain and got a row done! Yeah! Thanks Honey! :)

Sesaly's 4th!
Sesaly had her 4th birthday today! She had a great little party that was meant to be at a park, but got moved inside due to the rain. She got lots of great presents and even had a pinata! Happy Birthday Sesaly!
St. George!
Stuart and I went on a little weekend getaway to St. George this last weekend. It was a great little break! We were able to stay at my Grandma's condo and then we drove to Zion's every day to hook up with Heather, Justin and Helen. We went on some fun 4-wheeling trails and enjoyed the beautiful weather!
Heather, Luke (in front pack), Justin, Kaden, Celeste and Stuart (Helen is taking the picture)
This is an awesome lookout we found on one of the trails. It was beautiful!

This is looking up at where we were standing in the last picture.
We parked by this old cemetery to begin our 4-wheeling trip. There were tons of historic headstones and stories about how everyone died. This area was fenced off and had 3 graves in it. A husband/wife and brother. They were killed by indians. It was interesting to read the histories and look around the cemetery.
Campfire Dinner
After 4-wheeling all day, we headed back to Heather and Justin's trailer to have some dinner around the campfire. Here's Heather hanging out.
And Justin...
These were what would appear to be delicious dutch-oven potatoes. They had all the right ingredients, however, we were very hungry... so Helen and I decided to stick the dutch oven directly into the campfire. I wouldn't recommend it. They were burnt. :( And although the rest of us were sickened by them, Helen ate a healthy portion!
These little beauties were made by Stuart! He makes the BEST roasted marshmallows!
This is the delicious smore I made with Stuart's perfect marshmallows! YUM!
Sand Dunes
Justin, Kaden, Stuart and I went to the sand dunes one day, they were awesome! We had to be careful though, because we didn't have the tall flags on to let people know when we were coming over a dune.

Justin got stuck - I'm pretty sure I have a few other pictures of Justin being stuck in other places on 4-wheelers... perhaps a trend?

Justin with Kaden, and Stuart. I was there... but the only picture of me looks stupid, so it's just the boys!
Morty...
So, Stuart went camping a few weekends ago, and since I am such a baby, Morty got to sleep with me. He loves sleeping on our bed and this is him the next morning... he wouldn't get up! It was so funny, and I thought Stuart was hard to get up in the mornings! :)

Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all you Mother's out there. Especially to my own mom and Stuart's. We hope your Mother's Day is great!
For those of you who are easily offended, stop reading now. The rest of this post is for those like me, who hate this holiday.... as this is my 7th Mother's Day without children.
Now..... for all of us who aren't mother's...........
I wish you all a happy day also! For those of us who aren't lucky enough to have children, here are some of the things we can appreciate on this depressing day.
* Not waking up all night to crying
* Being able to do whatever we want whenever we want
* Having our husbands to ourselves
* Basically living less-expensive lives
* Not having stretch marks!
* Being able to leave the house with only our purse ... not 10 million other things
* Sleeping in
* Staying out late
* Not having to work around a child's nap schedule
* A heck of a lot less vaccuming
* Not changing dirty diapers
* Watching a movie as loud as we want without fear of waking up any children
* Let's face it, vacations are more fun without kids
* Not having to wonder if our kids are ugly :)
* Not having to wonder if we are good parents
Now I realize that those of you with children could make an equally impressive list of great reasons to have children. However, this post is intended to make me feel better on this depressing day. Oh, and thanks to Stuart for making this day bearable by not making us go to church and for making me feel special with breakfast in bed! :)
