Bubble Blowing Contest

On our way back to Medford we had a bubble blowing contest. I would have to say that Travis and Dixie tied, they blew the biggest bubbles. We didn't think we would be able to go to Utah because business has been really slow and we didn't have enough money. Carrie really want to come with us and we didn't want to let her down so knowing that she was helping us with gas we thought we might be able to pull it off. We ended spending $4000 on our trip to Utah including gas and getting our transmission fixed. If we knew our trip was going to be so expensive I don't think we would have gone. Thanks to Mom, Dad, Jenn, Dixie and Traci's help with driving, gas and food we didn't have to spend more than that. Even though traveling was miserable, I'm glad that we have family who care enough to help us out and make our trip a little easier. We love you guys and I want to thank you for going out of your way for us. We had lots of fun and can't wait to see you at the end of the month.

Our Last Day

On our last day I was able to spend time with my little sister Becky. The last time I saw Becky was three years ago so I was very happy to spend time with her. Becky was nice enough to give me acrylic nails and also make my toe nails look good for summer. Becky I just want you to know that I love you very much and I'm so glad that you were able to stop by and visit with me even though it was such a short visit. If you ever need someone to talk to please call me! We need to communicate more because you are important to me and I don't want you to be a stranger to us. Allison was so cute with Olivia, she loved watching her and even changed her dirty diapers.
On our last night with my parents they took us out to eat at Texas Road House and then we came home and played Rock Band until midnight. We had a good time spending some one on one time with my parents. I'm so thankful for them and the help they have given us throughout our marriage. We love you guys!

Skiing at Brighton

Travis taught Lexie and her cousin Whitney how to ski and before he knew it they were skiing around on their own and having a great time. Wayne tried snowboarding for his first time a broke his wrist on the fifth run down the hill. Everyone had fun and Wayne was the only one who got injured. I hope that Wayne feels better soon!

Easter Sunday

Easter we went to church and listened to my Dad teach his lesson which by the way was very good. We came home the kids had a egg hunt in the backyard and after we had dinner and celebrated Mom's birthday.

I wish Becky could have been in this picture and then this picture would have all us sisters together. I hope that we can all get together someday soon! It is so hard to live so far away from all of you. My nieces and nephews hardly know me and that makes me so sad. That is why this blog is so important to me because I get to share pieces of my life with you and hopefully you won't forget who I am.

Mom and Dad to the Rescue

Mom and Dad were nice enough to pick up the Skabelund's fifteen passenger van and drive six hours to Winnemucca to pick us up and then turn around and drive us the rest of the way to Utah.

Our first day in Utah our best friends Jeff and Holly came to visit us at my parents house. We played rock band for a while and then met them for dinner at Lone Star. After dinner we went to Steve and Mandy's house we had so much fun just talking. One of Mandy's dogs really loved Travis and was licking his hands and doing other things I wont mention, it was pretty funny! Mandy, thank you so much for letting us hang out at your house and visit with you. If your ever get a blog be sure to let me know. We had tons of fun and we are glad we got to spend some time with our friends!

Trip to Utah

We left our house at 7:00 am for Utah and the trip was going great until our transmission killed over just outside of Winnemucca. Travis walked to the little restaurant that was about 200 yards away and called for a tow truck to take the car to a mechanic. The cost for the tow truck to pull us to Winnemucca was $400 . Our insurance only covered $100 of the towing fee, if we had AAA we wouldn't have had to pay anything.

We had to sit and wait for five hours at this little place for the tow truck to come. We ate lunch and then the kids spent the rest of the time playing with the dogs that were there.

Finally the truck arrived and we all sat in the van and got towed for two hours. The first part of the trip in the back of the tow truck Carrie was scared and the kids started crying because the van was bouncing up and down and they thought we were going to roll off.

Hangin' out in Utah

We are still in Utah and will be home by Monday. We had a hard time getting here because our van's transmission went out just outside of Winnemucca. I will post pictures and write more details about our trip when I get home. We have been having lots of fun with friends and family and we hope to have a safe trip home.

I love the Drums!

Tara, thanks for that fun link!

How Do You Like It?

I painted my family room today because I needed a change. I was tired of the dark color on my walls so I painted it a lighter color. The color is khaki and I love it! This is a sample of the carpet we are carpeting our whole house with. Do you like it?

When I was cleaning up yesterday I toe picked this sharp wire and it went right under my big toe nail. The rest of the night I spent dragging my foot around like I was one of those dancers on Micheal Jackson's Thriller.

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA WARNICK

Grandma and Grandpa Warnick came by to visit us this morning. Madison and Bryson were being shy like always so I didn't get many pictures of them with their Great Grandparents. I'm watching Chase today and he wasn't afraid to give Great Grandma and Grandpa hugs. It was so nice visiting with them!

HELP ME!

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE SUPER GLUE?

I'm so stupid! I was trying to fix my kick pedal for my drums because it broke in half. While I was trying to glue it, the glue dripped down the tube without me knowing and onto my finger. When I was finished I went to put the tube down and it was stuck. My finger was super glued to the stupid super glue tube. I have tried everything and it won't come off!

Utah

We are leaving for Utah next Friday for Spring Break to visit with family. It is so hard to come and see all the people we want to see in such a short time. We will try our hardest to see everyone and hopefully no one will feel upset or left out. We are excited to see everyone and hope to have a fun relaxing trip!

Cancun

Travis has been nominated to receive an award from Brunswick Billiards in Cancun on the 21st of April. We don't know what the award is or why he is getting one, he was just told that he needed to be there to receive an award. This will be his second award in the last couple months. I'm so proud of Travis and how much he has accomplished in his business in such a short time. Travis will be gone until the 24th and will be home for my Birthday on the 25th. He will only be home for a day or two and then we will be off to Hawaii. April will be a crazy month!
