"Izzard Hunting"

Here we go off on another lizard hunt. Dillon was fascinated with the lizards. Will tried to catch one for him, but they are very fast. So we went on many, many "izzard hunts". Dillon had his stick in hand, to beat the bushes with to scare the lizards out and off we would go. He would go from bush to bush to find the lizards. Then he would say, "find another one, oh, there it goes in the hole". I don't really know if he actually saw any because they move pretty fast, but he sure had fun and it kept him pretty busy !


He even recruited Dustin to help him search for lizards. They each had their sticks and Dustin had to follow Dillon around and beat the bush too! It was a great way for us to get our exercise in since we had to walk along with them. This activity seem to make them happy and that is what the weekend was all about!!

Camping at Dove Springs

We went camping at Dove Springs over Memorial Day Weekend and had a blast. We rode quads, ate lots of great food and just relaxed! There were several different families there and we all had fun, even Carol-Ann who ended up with a broken leg. I will post a little story about that later! Dez and the boys came to play with us and I think they had a blast! The boys were very busy and Colton got to ride all he wanted. The little boys were only able to ride when someone wanted to take them in the big three seater with seat belts, but over all I think they enjoyed themselves.
I know Dillon had a blast riding quads (pretend style) and getting a quick ride with Grampie now and then. Dillon, Dusty and Rylee all had fun going from one quad to the other and pretending to race. Sometimes they would all climb onto one and ride together. There was no time for sitting still for them. However several adults sat around camp alot and just relaxed. That is what vacations are all about, right?
Dez got to drive a quad for the first time, and finally got underway after many instructions from Grampie. Then she went on a long ride with the group and had fun. Colton just rode and rode and rode!! We all look forward to many more outings this summer in Tex's new camper!! Thanks Tex!

"Adult Prom Night"

This was taken the night we went to the Adult Prom at the Stake Center in Lancaster. We had a dinner and dance. The Stake Center was decorated lovely (since they had the Youth Prom the night before) and the food was pretty good, but the music was boring and not very good for dancing. They must have really thought we were old, since they played pretty much all "slow...waltz type" music. But it was still fun to dress up and go out together. Even though it wasn't that good, we would do it again!

Our friend Desiree went with us too. Donnie had the two prettiest women in the building with him! Lucky Man!!

Just thought I would share this with everyone, Dillon thinks that no matter what Grampie is doing, he should be doing it. I came home from work yesterday and Grampie was washing motorcycles so I started to help out. Carol-Ann and Will came by to drop off Dillon before Will's softball game and so Dillon went straight into the garage to get his "motorcycle" and started to wash his! Of course before we were done Dillon soaked everything in site at least twice with the hose. We had fun and actually got all 4, counting Dillon's, motorcycles washed.




Another example of Dillon having to do everything that Grampie does....shaving. Whenever Dillon is here and Grampie shaves, Dillon has to be shaved. Grampie just lathers him up and flips his razor around backwards and shaves away! Some day Dillon will catch on and figure out that Grampie does it different to himself. But for now this makes him very happy!
