Rocky Raccoon

The other day Mark found this in our hay shed. . .


Can't tell what it is?

How about now?



That is right, Rocky Raccoon lives in our hay shed.



Mark persisted in throwing rocks at it to wake it up.



It started running back and forth on the rafters.



Then Mark cornered it.


After a few close calls, it finally fell, but it quickly ran under another building.

The Dogs loved every minute of it.



So did Mark. . .

I like to ride my bicycle

We went down to Utah this past weekend as a last hoorah before my school starts up again in a week. We spent some time with Grandpa Ike and Grandma Carol on Firday night. They took us to dinner at The Lion House for the best turkey I have ever eaten. They are members of a group called Dinnerset, and although we were never able to get a straight answer as to point of this group, we soon found out that we were the youngest people in there by at least 25 years! Still, we had such a fun time. On Saturday we went down to Provo to meet up with Sam and Skyler.

Skyler needed to collect water from the duck ponds for a project, so our first stop was there.



Then we went back to their apartment to take the new tandem bike for a ride. Mark and I were actually very good partners.



Skyler was showing off his "skills" on his single-rider.



Sam hopped on while I took over as driver. It is so much different than passenger.



This was right after I almost ran us into a car. Let's just say that the turning radius of this thing is like unto a limo.



Skyler had a date that night and took the bike, so Mark, Sam and I went to the mall to buy Mark some new shoes.

Don't think I wasn't tempted!



After a successful shopping trip (sorry no pictures of Mark's new shoes) we went to In-N-Out for dinner.

Waiting...



More waiting.


We finally got our food. It was delicious! We had such a fun time in Utah and can't wait for the boys to come up and visit us soon!

Easter

Mark and I had such a fun Easter weekend. We lounged around the house and listened to General Conference.

On Sunday morning, we had strawberry cream cheese waffles with potato and carrot hash browns and juice.



The morning was so beautiful. The dogs stayed like this the majority of the day.



I sported my new Easter shirt from my mom. (Also seen in the previous post.)



We also made treats to give away. Unfortunately, our sugar cookies didn't get very far out of the house, we still haven't tried the banana cake, but we did give away toffee to the most important.

They're Baaack!

My long curly locks have finally reappeared after three long years. . .

Did you miss this as much as I did?



How about this?



Or this?


(I sure have missed this cute little fluff on the back of my head!)


To celebrate my recent hair adventures, Mark and I went on a date to Outback. Nothing can compare to their delicious bread!




We always have so much fun!

Family Visits

This weekend was so much fun. My mom came to visit us for a few days, and Sam stayed the weekend. Mark and I really need to improve our picture taking habits, especially the quantity.

Mom was here for five days and this is our documentation.


(Side note: the moose in the picture is definitely the biggest, most muscular moose I have ever seen. Dead or Alive!)

Ironically, Carter came to visit for about five hours and we have an abundance of pictures.



Carter was wearing his cool Vans that Uncle Mark and Aunt Maddie got him for Christmas. Yes, I am running for favorite aunt.

We had so much fun and look forward to the next round of visitors.
