St. George

We sure had a fun weekend. Thursday we went to the Caucus, then headed south about 9:30. We got to mom and dads about 1 am. Thanks to our corn nuts, we didn't get sleepy.
Friday we went over to Carl's office to have samples of Kenni's moles taken. She has quite a few, and new ones keep popping up so we wanted to have them tested. He had given her this drink that is I guess basically a liquid form of laughing gas that relaxes her. She was so funny. It even made her laugh. Here is a little video that I took to prove to her how funny she was. She doesn't really remember it to well.


After her little procedure and some lunch, we headed on over to a pottery place called Desert Light Pottery. We really had a fun time. The kids each picked something to paint then they fired it for us in the kiln. Now I really want to take a pottery class and actually make something.







Kenni did the flip flops and I painted the palm tree.





I haven't taken a picture of them since they have been fired, but they are all nice and bright and shiny now. It was great fun.
That night we went to see some high school soccer. Marcus in on the Snow Canyon high school team, and Carl is now the assistant coach. Both JV and Varsity tied. They were good games.
Saturday we got up and Brian and I biked over to Kim and Carl's house from Mom and Dad's. Then Dad and the kids met us there and we loaded up all our bikes and drove to Snow Canyon High School, hopped on a trail, and biked 12 miles to Kayenta. Had lunch and biked back.





Rian is now on an official competitve all girl soccer team. It is a lot different than city league and is really involved. She has 2 practices a week, sometimes even 3. Most of her games will be in American Fork, Alpine, Orem, etc. Her first game is this Saturday. She is just loving it and has already learned more in just a couple weeks of practice than she has all the years she has played city league. We think it will be really good for her.

Last night when we got home from our trip, Brian discovered two new baby lambs! They must have been born sometime around noon yesterday because they were already dry, yet one couldn't stand up yet. We were very surprised because she was supposed to be due the same time as Daisy. The time came and went and she didn't look big or anything. So, it was quite a shock. We spent the evening helping the little gal stand up and eat and spread straw and make them a nice cozy bed. They sure are a lot smaller than the others born a month ago. Now we have 2 boys, 2 girls. 







We sold all 18 of our steers. It was getting pretty lonely around here without them, so we got a milk cow. 


The day before we brought her home she gave birth to her very first calf. A cute little girl that is half black angus. 
We also got a new born bull calf as well. She nurses both of them. 
We still have yet to try out her milk.
