Christmas

Christmas was fun. Favorite present: Abu Garcia Jigging combo. Too bad Fish Lake is probably frozen. When I asked Evin what would happen if I accidentally let go of the rod. He concluded "You'll be going in there after it" Maybe I'll keep using his for a while, the water is freezing in August.D

Frogs for Christmas!

Santa delivered two frogs who are still without names. One is a firebelly toad, the other is a tree frog. Went to the pet store to get some crickets, they were sold out. Brought a firebelly toad home. The two firebelly's have made friends and the tree frog prefers to hug the glass. Now we have three nameless frogs. Cash is considering Batman, Robin and Ironman. Evin suggested to change their names everyday!

Blogging

I'm thinking about moving my blog over to www.StGeorgeGrapevine.com maybe I will be better about posting more often. I will have to figure out how to keep all my prior posts. I'm hoping my friends and family will join me. We had a lot of fun in Salt Lake City. We first visited with Eliza and her family, got to see their new huge house. Cash had fun playing with the kids. We went to Jungle Jim's (definitely recommend if you have little kids) and Ikea (also highly recommend letting them "play" for an hour while you shop if they are potty trained and over 37"). Went to the movies, saw "2012" excellent but tense movie. We also went to McDonald's in Lehi, they had a new play area and everything seemed to play music, the toddlers area was nice for the little one's so they didn't get trampled on by the big kids. We met Roger Stubbs, his wife and their twins. The place was crazy busy but we got to visit, it was great to see everyone and their families. Then we travelled to Camille's. We went bowling with some other friends from high school, Aaron Grandy and Jessica Grandy Mills and their families. We had a few hiccups but finally got to let the kids bowl. Cash is much better on the wii but only because he gets to practice more. I only got to bowl once and the holes were too small for my fingers so of course it was a horrible throw! We had a lot of fun and ended up eating dinner at Tres Hombres, the food was great but I couldn't finish it (unusual for me, we were raised to finish all the food on our plate and not waste anything). Cash thought he saw Santa Claus so he convinced me we needed to go and find him. After scouring the restaurant I found a person that had worn a red hat and jacket. He didn't have white hair and wasn't over 35! I explained to him what my son had told me and we had a good laugh! Our kids were crazy at the restaurant but we all had a great time. Cash got to play in the snow, he found out the hard way that the snow was not very deep. He ended up with some dirt in his mouth instead of just snow, yep he did! He loves to eat snow, never thought I would have to say "We don't eat snow off the ground of the parking lot, it's not clean snow" it looked good to him (in his defense it was fresh).We left while it was snowing in SLC and then we brought the cold weather home with us. I'll post pictures later, Cash is demanding breakfast!Later.D

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I don't know anyone that's not busy right now but I'm feeling the holiday crunch. I know I will make it because I always do but my head won't stop spinning. Cash and I are going to Salt Lake City, UT today. I thought I would try to post my pictures that I've been talking about. We had a great Thanksgiving, it's always nice to relax and spend time with family. I never thought I would spend Thanksgiving in Vegas more than once but I'm reminded each year that the Vegas we normally see being tourists isn't all there is. We didn't even get on the strip, we staying in a neighborhood just like we have in ST. George. Cash had the perfect combo, kids and a pool. He also had fun seeing the fish and playing golf at Bass Pro Shops. Thanks to Mike and Tracy for hosting this event. Cash was thankful for Swimming, Mom & Dad, Spagetti, Woody and Monkey this year according to his Thankful Turkey picture he made at preschool. I am very grateful for all the joy that Cash and Evin bring into my life. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays!D
