Preston Birthday, March 2011

Hi All,

Preston had a Buzz Light Year Birthday. It was great. We enjoyed Buzz Light Year Cake and action figures. We were amazed as Preston figured out how to call his mother's cellphone on my cellphone; we were enthralled as Spencer taught us esoteric snake facts and we were entertained as Lauryn crawled all over the place and made tongue-over-teeth movements.

It was a great night for all of us Space Rangers

Cross Country Skiing at Ruby's Inn at Bryce Canyon, March 2011

Hi All,

This week we went to Ruby’s Inn in Bryce Canyon for cross country skiing. The weather and the snow were beautiful. The first day we skied around the rim of the canyon. Afterwards we sat in the hot tub and then went to dinner. We stayed in the Best Western Grand which is a new hotel across the street from Ruby’s Inn. We got a great rate on a beautiful room. The next day we skied on some beautiful trails by Ruby’s Inn itself and not by the rim. We had a good time and hope we can do this again with some of you!
Love
Mom and Dad

So, How's Your Toilet Paper? March 2011



We tended Jaimee and Brandon on Friday night. We had a dinner they both liked and we made chocolate chip cookies which they both really liked. They were both funny as heck, but Jaimee, particularly, was on a roll.


She started off by saying a blessing on the food, “Please bless Brandon that he won’t whine, scream and yell”.

She typed some random letters on the computer and told us that they were Spanish words.

I told her I made some soup and asked her to try it. She tasted it and said it was very good. However, at the end of the meal she said, “I don’t like the soup I just said that to make you happy”.

After telling us about the “features” of many dinosaurs, she said, “Nobody knows how Dinosaurs died but my Dad and I know. A masteroid crashed and killed them”. Brandon piped in and said, “My dad knows everything”.

Brandon began the evening by telling me, “I have a problem”. The problem was that he could not remember a particular song.

And finally, Jaimee went to the bathroom. After doing her business, she told me, "You have better toilet paper than we do. Your's is softer". So, how's your TP folks? You need to get soft toilet paper, in case Jaimee makes an unannounced visit to your house. You wouldn't want to be on the dark side of the toilet policewomen!!!


THE LITTLE COOKS


Tuesday, March 1, 2011

We went to Colorado this week to visit Conrad and Debbie. We had a lovely trip. Thursday night we watched the movie, “Inception”, which was excellent. Friday we went skiing. It was snowy and cold, but most people had a good time skiing. We even had a featured downhill run from Conrad. That night we went to Pei Wei for dinner.

Saturday we watched the BYU versus San Diego State game and went to an IMAX showing of the Hubble telescope which was great. We had a chicken scallopini dinner together and Joseph, Jayce’s brother, and Cammy joined us. Sunday Jordan and Tim came over for a featured dinner cooked by a Jedi Master, Dad, and his Padawan learner, me.

Monday we had an uneventful trip home.

It was a great trip!
