P.S. If I left someone out, I'm sleepy!!!

Six Flags

Memorial Day weekend we took Gracie to Cali to go to Six-flags and spend some time with Dusty's Sister, Angie and her family. We got to the hotel and split to Santa Monica Beach to eat on he pier and see the ferries wheel. Gracie got to mess around with her cousins for a little bit. They had a good time at dinner laughing and talking together.
Sunday Morning we were off to Six Flags to ride the roller coasters and be together. The coasters of course, never disappoint. It got a bit warm but we were fortunate enough to get SOAKED on the log ride.
Unfortunately Dusty lost his cell phone on one of the coaster. It just wiggled right outta his pocket.
I will try to post the video that Dusty took of Gracie on Goliath. He did an excellent job videoing considering he was getting tossed and turned all around as well!
Monday morning we were off and running again back to Mesa. Made it on half a tank of gas.

Boynton Canyon

Saturday we took the kids hiking in Sedona. It was very beautiful out. The wind was blowing and the weather was perfect.
The hike was about 2.5 miles. Not to strenuous. At times it was a bit rocky and steep but not for very long. Unfortunately the destination was nothing really but a view. No water or old cabin. The view was lovely, don't get me wrong, but it's nice to hike up to something. At the 2.5 miles, we turned around and went back the way we came.

Mothers Day

We took the kids to Sycamore Creek to ride and play in the water. Dusty and Shawn threw the football around for a bit, while Gracie and Summer made a tadpole habitat. The kids got to do some riding in the sand and some splashing in the RZR. We had a little picnic and tried to help some poor schmuck get his jeep outta the sand. Unfortunately I forgot the camera and only got pics with my phone, so no action shots.
After wards the kids made me some cards and we watched a movie and drank root beer floats.

Time to step it up

We sold Shawn's little 50. He finely decided that he was to big for it when we took him o the track and he saw all the other kids riding on 110 and 65's. He tried one out, and liked it. So we sold he 50 and bought him a 110. He loves it. I have never seen the kids smile so much. (he even gave Dusty a hug!) All he wants to do is take it to the track and out riding. He did really well at ET moto park. Even got a little bit of air.

Lovable

One romantic day in May a lovable man named, Dusty brought home a black bag with green tissue paper. Inside was a token of his love and affection for a lovable girl named, Rachael.

Yard progress

So, we finely got around to adding somethings to the yard. Dusty and I went to home depot and picked out some trees, rose bushes and my mom gave us a grapevine, so we bought it a buddy. The funny thing is those plants would take me all day to plant. Dusty had them all done up in about 2 hours. So, two hours, and 120.00 later we have a little bit of color for the front yard!
I'm very happy with it.
By the way, the picture looks better in person!
