Moab with the Scouts

Last week Jonathon and my dad went to Moab, Utah with our ward's scouts. Jonathon biked the famous Slick Rock trail where he sprained his wrist and bent up his back tire on his bike. My dad did part of the Slick Rock trail before deciding that he wanted to live and biked an easier trail (the last picture). They also did some hiking in Arches National Park. They hiked to delicate arch (shown above) and hiked through the Firey Furnace (shown below).

This is a nice picture of Jonathon's back:

Removing Sod

This Saturday was spent removing sod in our planter area. My parents decided that we should have ground cover plants instead of grass there. Sod removel is definitely not on my list of fun things to do on a Saturday.

The Engagement Ring

Here is a close up of the Alison's engagement ring. The details of her engagement are posted on her blog.

Spring Time is Here

Spring time is now here which means.....

Yard work! Most of last Saturday was spent doing yard work. Spring time also means birthdays in our family. Alison turned 20 on May 12, and my mom just had her birthday on May 18. Above is a picture of the present Jonathon and I bought for my mother’s birthday - a big flower pot.

Mother's Day at Grandma's

Mother's Day was spent at Grandma Suzy's house on her new deck.

The kids had fun playing in the garden.

Paintballing

On Saturday I went Paintballing for my first time. It was very fun, but I felt a little under equipped and lacking camouflage.

Alligators in Florida

Last week my dad went on a business trip to Miami, Florida. My dad and his coworkers stopped by Everglades National park, where he took these fun pictures.

This alligator had no fear of people and was quite content basking in the sun along the trail.
