Moab, and the new truck

Thanks guys for the luv for my b day. I guess I feel a little obligated to post something now. Here is my last weekend with Lacey Brodyho, and Ross. This is also my new hill billy ride that I call my second home. I'm thinking of moving to southern idaho and living in the woods.

first camping trip

we went to moab over the weekend with john & joanna and it was pretty fun. friday night we camped outside goblin valley and the girls loved it. we hiked around and had a huge camp fire, of course the girls got a kick out of making smores. on saturday we did some swimming at the hotel john had reserved and then checked out arches on sunday. the girls have nice little sun tans now and it turns out that tessa loves calamari (she ate half of john's appetizer).

Vegas Baby!!

so, for my 30th birthday this past weekend Tim surprised me with a trip to Vegas. i have always wanted to go atleast once, so i was stoked. we stayed at the treasure island hotel (thanks a ton marnie and todd) and it was amazing, the room was on the corner of the building on the 17th floor, so one window showcased one half of the strip and the other window showcased the other half. we checked out the wax museum, in which Tim ran into Evil Knievel, one of his biggest heroes. we walked the strip and checked out all the main casinos, the Bellagio was my favorite with it's flower conservatory. Saturday night we went to see "Mystere" by Cirque Du Soleil it was a dream come true by far for me to see one of their shows, i have been slightly obsessed with them since i was 19. by the time we left we were ready for home, but the trip was fabulous and i had the best birthday ever. a huge thanks goes out to marnie, todd, candy, and brian--we appreciate all of your help. love, al

oh, and the girl in the pic below with the crazy hair is definitely claire!!

JUST FOR FUN!!

I honestly don't know which child this is....Claire or Tessa!!  Al and Tim will have to weigh in on that.  I just thought the pic was funny.

Spring Break Hawaii

So been wanting to post these photos for a while, if nothing else than for mom.  Hawaii was great!  The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast.  It just wasn't long enough.  When is it ever.  Kids splashed, Alexa and her friend Maddy jumped the rock, Mom sunned and we had the ever present DS!!  We sure love this place!!
