Saying GoodBye to Yukon.............


April 15th 2009, Yukon's Arthritis took a turn for the worse. He was not unable to lift his head up. He has been in allot of pain the last few days. Eric and Jonathan took him to Doggy Instant care, in Orem, last night. The news wasn't good. The girls and I went to the Instant Care last night after 9pm. We all sat in the room, as a family, and made one of the hardest decisions of our lives. We decided it was time that Yukon was put out of his pain and go to Doggy Heaven. Oh how many tears can we shed? We shed so many last night. He was the best dog we have ever had. He was so gentle, lovable, incredible with all kids, playful, just a GREAT part of our family. He will be missed so much.

What a stud he is!!

Happy Easter from Sand Mountain

Well, what another wonderful Easter spent out at the Sand Dunes. The kids had so much fun. Eric's brother's came out and so did Eric's oldest daughter, Alyssa and her husband and ALL Eric's other friends too. We had a Easter Egg hunt in the rain. My girls walked away with lots of cash and yummy candy! For the 1st time ever, I cooked with a dutch oven, OMG YUMMY!! We made a mountain man breakfast, cooked it a little too long but it was still yummy! I also made a cherry cobbler, Y U M!! Enough about food, lets get to the real action and how Eric blew up my Banshee motor. Yeah, that's right, he blew it up on the 1st day. Thanks Honey, the good thing about that, he will fix it better than it was and it will get a new paint job too. I way excited about that. We borrowed our friend Ethan's Rhino, HAVE TO HAVE ONE....... This Rhino was so awesome. So besides having a few bike set-backs. We had a blast and I couldn't wait to get home for a shower. Here are some pictures.

Happy "10th" Birthday Jenna!!

WOW- my baby is 10! That makes me so old :)- Is there a better way to celebrate the BIG 10 but to have all of her friends over for a Super Twilight Birthday party with a special guest awaiting. I had so much fun with my mom by my side as we played games, fed, fed, fed, watched the Twilight Movie and danced. This was a lot of fun for me and the girls. Check out the fun!
