Wow, this blog is in serious need of some attention. Facebook has become the new way of connecting with the outside world and our family blog has been really neglected. Since over a year has gone by without any updates, I will spare you all the details and just let you know what is going on currently.
We are all soooo ready for summer. What the heck is up with this crazy Utah weather? June is almost here and it still feels like April. It is time for some sunshine and outdoor fun!
Two weeks ago we finally went ATVing for the first time this year. We headed out to Delle to ride on the salt flats and fun hills that we love so much. By March or April we have always gone out there and found very little mud. This year, oh boy - can you say chocolate cake batter? What a yucky mess! We went out with our neighbors and 4 of the 6 ATV's got stuck out on the normally dry salt flats. Only the 4x4 machines made it out with out much pushing and sliding around. A couple of the quads had so much mud under the fenders that the tires were rubbing on the mud. We found sticks and scraped off as much as we could - the worst of the cleanup was done at home that night. Muddy everything - oh well, it was a fun day anyway!
Bryan will be home from his mission in 4 months and 3 weeks, but who is counting? He is doing awesome, and loving all of the wonderful experiences he his having. He is currently serving right next to Virginia Tech University. The people are wonderful and he has learned and grown so much. We can't wait for him to come home, we all miss him so much. The time has really gone by quickly - thank goodness. He will be home on October 20th.
Erika is finishing up her Junior year at Davis, and Justin is almost done with 7th grade. Yeah, another year down and summer is almost here! We plan to spend lots of time at the lake this summer. Hopefully summer sticks around a while, Bryan wants to wakeboard when he gets home. Thank goodness for wetsuits!
Les is in the process of painting our garage. He has wanted nice white walls ever since we built our house. Hopefully in a couple of weeks the project will be complete - floor and all!
Lori is almost back to normal after her broken leg. That major wipe out skiing really messed things up. What a long spring this has been! Thank goodness for modern medicine and the titanium rod that put the tibia back together so nicely. That beautiful hunk of metal cut the rehab time down by weeks. In 8 weeks I was back in a shoe and did the 5K Race for the Cure, only slightly gimpy. OK, maybe a little more than slightly gimpy by the end, but I finished! My doctor says that by July I can waterski - I can't wait. By ski season I will be good as new!
Ok, that was the short story. Hopefully updates will come a little more regularly in the future. Not promising anything, just sayin'
