The Hampsters are gone.....AGAIN!!!!

Last year the kids were begging us for a pet. Two years ago we gave away our dog Abby because dogs are not allowed in new houses!(I'm the meanest mom) Last year the Easter Bunny finally gave in and brought two hampsters. The hampsters had to live in the basement because hampsters are not allowed upstairs in new houses( I know, but they smell). Anyways we went down everyday and made sure they had food and water, the kids were obsessed with the hampsters for about a week and then they were forgotten. Then last year a week after easter we went to St. George for a few days, came home and I heard Greg yell "the hampsters are gone". I absolutly flipped out, thinking that they were upstairs. After hours of searching we found both of them. Last week Greg went down to look at the basement because we are having it finished and I heard Greg yell "the hampsters are gone again". Once again I flipped out thinking they were upstairs, yelled at the kids for not putting the top of the cage on right, and started the hampster hunt. Greg stayed up untill 1am looking for those damn things and no luck! The next day we left for St. George, we put food on the ground in front of the cage and hoped that they would stay downstairs and that we would find them when we got home. Well we came home and found the food eaten and no sign of the damn things! Well it's Tue night and Greg found one last night, after a 10 minute chase. Now we feel we are on a recovery mission for the 2nd one, because it has been 7days with no water, and we are getting ready to sheet rock the basement and that can't be good for a hiding hampster. Greg is down searching now, I will let you know how it ends....Anyone want a hampster!

Dance weekend in St. George

If we are not in St.George for baseball we are there for dance! Presley had a dance competition at Dixie College so we packed back in the car for another weekend in St. George. We had great weather, ate lots of good food, swam and watched a ton of dance!

This Hannah Montana "Rock Star" dance took first place, it's a good thing since they will be dancing with Miley Cyrus at Stadium of Fire in July.

Greg and Jake were thrilled to be at another dance competition!

Go Luv 2 Dance!

Easter weekend in St George

We were in St George for Jake's baseball games last weekend and after going to double headers two days in a row, we were ready to play! The weather was perfect, the food GREAT and my bowling game was amazing! I guess you have never seen anything like it, just ask anyone watching. Here's some pics:

Look at that form!

Go grandma!

After a while Halle was more interested in playing office then bowling.

The All American Feast at Famous Dave's YUMMY!!

Halle was a little worried that the easter bunny might not know where to find her. She was surprised when he knocked on the door early in the morning and left her a easter basket filled with candy, coloring stuff and a Cherry Hill Pass!

Baseball Season Is Here!

Basketball season is not even over and now on to baseball. Last weekend we went to St George for the teams first comp games, they had a ton of fun. The team all stayed in the same hotel and when they weren't playing they were swimming! This is the start of a very LONG season, starting April 18th Jake will have double headers every Saturday. We will also be traveling on some weekends untill the middle of July. Go Utah Bandits!

Still Striped!

As you can see we still have a problem, but help is on the way. Chem Lawn should be here anyday. I will keep you posted and update you on our progress. If your just tunning in and are wondering what happened to our lawn, refer back to older post "what happened to your lawn"on Dec 7, 2007.

A Princess Week!

This week was Disney on Ice, so we had to celebrate all week long! First off, Halle went down with her friends to see all the princess's arrive, yes we were late and missed them but we got to walk down the red carpet and look at all of their beautiful cakes.

Halle's favorite cake was Cinderella's

Then on Friday, Holly and I took Halle and her friend Lexy to watch Disney on Ice, they loved it! Halle never took her eye's off the floor, it was pure entertainment.

Book Club

Last month I read The Sunflower, by Paul Richard Evans. This is a love story and a very easy read(totally on my level). I had this book read in just a couple of days which is AMAZING for me. If your looking for a good little love story, read this book! Thanks Tricia good choice. This month I am reading The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver. This might be a challenge for me because it's over 500 pages, I'm not sure I have the patience to read such a LONG book. Wish me luck! If you have read this book let me know, mabe I will get all the info from you and I won't even have to read it.
