Glacier Park, Montana trip

Joey and I went on an awesome trip to Glacier National Park in Montana, on the motorcycle it sure is a beautiful place to go. The kids stayed the first 3 nights with Louise and Shelby and then the rest of the time with Ted and Debbie, they all had a great time and then Quentyn was with his Dad. We missed the kids so much but it was so nice to be away from them also. We left here on Monday the 22nd of June and went up through Afton, Wy and then stayed the night in Jackson at the State Park, because when we went to the Good Sam Park it was 60.00 to stay and Joey wasn't going to pay that much so we stayed at the State park for 19.00. We set up camp and went and ate at The Merry Piglet's restaurant in Jackson Hole that we love to eat at, it is great Mexican food, we eat there everytime we go there. And did some walking through the town and then went back to the tent and I went to bed I was tired, and the mosquitos were eating us alive.

The next morning we got up went and ate some breakfast and then went on our way to West Yellowstone, on the way out of town we were going o like 65 miles an hour and didn't know thast my camera case was opened and went to take a picture and the camera fell out and onto the ground rolling about 10 times on the side of the road, Joey said all he heard was me say my camera and so we turned around and just knew that my camera was going to be shattered and not even work, but luckily the batteries fell out and it was scratched up a little but it was still in one piece and still worked, Good thing Kodaks are so tough. So when we got to West Yellowstone we went to the store so that we could make something for dinner and ate grilled cheese sandwiches and cream corn chowder yummy...

The next day we left West Yellowstone and went to Montana and had to stop in Butte we needed 2 new tires, the tires were so bad the cords were showing and the guys place that we stopped at said that the tires were so bad, he didn't know how we even made it that far and would'nt even let us drive it acround the block the place we went to in Butte was called Two Wheels, awesome place and the people were so nice and froendly, helpful they were just awesome. When we left Butte we headed straight to Glacier and stayed in the Whitefish KOA, outside of Kalispell, I muct say it sure is a beautiful state.

Joey's Uncle Gary was killed up outside of Kalispell, Mo 4 years ago when his parents, both uncles, their wives and an aunt and her spouse were able to finally go on a motorcycle trip together and a deer had jusmped out in front of him and then a logging truck was coming on the

other side of the road and he was ran over by the logging truck, it was such a horrible thing and I will never forget GAry ever, he was a great guy. Anyway we were able to go and see were he died at and there were about 20 crosses on the sides of the roads, they say it is one of the most dangerous highways.

So we went to Glacier and looked all around there and meet alot of cool and nice people. Need I say beautiful again???

So on Friday we started heading home and left Glacier went down clear to Mountpeiller Idaho and I must say I thought my butt was going to fall of, it was so numb I couldn't even feel it, we went 700 miles that day and then went through 3 states that day and then stayed in Montpeliier and then left there and came home the next day. I have to say if you ever get a chance to go to Glacier do it, it is so beautiful, they get about 40 ft of snow there every year and then they have to do road work on the highways every year. So here are a few pictures of the trip, hope you enjoy them.

iCE cREAM tRUCK iN tHE nEIGHBORHOOD

So on a Wednesday after getting home from work, there were sirens and the sound of some musical noise, not knowing or caring to pay attention, Timberlyn comes running into the house screaming"the ice cream truck is outside, I need money for me and Draydyn"

OK and the one day that the ice cream truck does come I had already spent all my cash that I had to pick up something for mt friend Jessica for bunco that night.

Not wanting to hurt her feelings or piss her off, if you know Timberlyn pissing her off is not an hard thing to do, so I thought were is some change at so that I don;t have to dig in the change bucket, I remembered I had a stash of quarters; that I had been saving of the new state quarters so I dug into them kicking myself in the you know what the whole time but when I saw how happy that ice cream made them then it wasn't so bad after all.

Lagoon Fun

So I have been wanting to go to Lagoon again forever, yes being the last time I went was O about 7 1/2 years ago and it was so fun, we invited our friends Curtis and Jessica to go and we took Shelby. The kids had a blast and I believe that the adults had a blast to.
Draydyn however was not so happy because he wasn't able to go on all the rides, he is not really afraid of anything. Quentyn went so many times last year, he thought he was quite the pro at all the rides. Our neighbors were there and he wanted to walk around for awhile with the neighbor girl, when he first asked me I told him he sure could walk with her, "10 steps infront of me." Yeah he didn't think I was very funny, me on the other hand thought that it was funny.

We got to Lagoon at about 11:45 am and we didn't leave until 11:00 that night it was so fun.
After we took the kids on most of the rides that they wanted to ride, we went and ate lunch and then went and rode some of the bigger rides and then back to the kid ones, we had alot of good rides and want to go back when they have the bounce back in July.And Cara you will have to come this next time.

Free Fishing Day

Well I only had one of the kids this weekend, and that was Draydyn. The other kids were gone Quentyn was with his Dad and Timberlyn was in Salt Lake with the Girl Scouts and so Shelby and I took Draydyn fishing up to Steinaker and fished off the bridge, we caught about 12 fish in all and released them all, I love to fish but I hate eating them they stink so very badly to me.
When we got up there and got parked, Shelby drove her truck, because well she needs the hours for her license and she is 16 and you all know how 16 yr olds are. We got ourselves out of the truck and shut the doors so all the mosquitos would stay out of there and went to get in the truck to get Draydyn's fishing pole, the doors were locked, do you think anybody else has an extra key? Well George does but where was he, no where to be found, so there were a few guys up there nice enough to try to help, the doors were so tight it was kinda hard, there was a guy on a bullet bike that tried to help and was so nice to drive back to town and get a metal hanger and about 8 minutes after he left we got into the truck, thanks to those guys and the guy on the bullet bike got back and we had gotten in the truck, he gave Shelby the hanger for future use, hopefully that wont have to be used.
We had so much fun and ran out of worms but were catching so many that I ended up trying to use the rest of Draydyn's cheese from his lunch, not so much luck and then I just put a spinner on the line, after my line broke, I was using Draydyn's snoopy pole yep I am a little crazy but it was so much fun and Draydyn was loving every minute of it.

Getting my car detailed

This is a funny story. On wednesday I had a appointment with the detail shop, Magic Detailing.
So I called Cara the day before and asked her to meet me down there and to take me home before she goes to work, so she meet me down there, I have to say that I went to work that morning at 5:00 am because Draydyn had a field trip Joey went with him, so I knew that he wouldn't go to the babysitters and so I needed to be off by 11:00 am so that Joey could go back to work. I had to taske Quentyn to an appointment at 3:30 till 4:30, Timberlyn had to be to Girl Scouts at 4:30 and picked up by 6:00 and then I needed to be to the Rec Center at 6:00 for Boy Scouts, and at 3:30 the detail shop called and said my car was done I told them that I would be ther in an hour to get it they close at 5:00. So after I took Timberlyn to Girl Scouts, I called Cara again and asked her if she could take me to get my car, but she wasn't getting off until after 5 so she called Clint to see if he would, I told her thanks and so she said don't thank me thank Clint and I said OH I WILL THANK HIM, she said not like that! He met me at the house and took me up there, dropped me off. I went to pay and look over my car it looked great I went to leave and my car would'nt start. I went to tell Max that they must've left my key on and drained my battery. He got a battery charger we tried to jump it for about 20 minutes, nothing happened and so he figured maybe I was out of gas, ok how could that happen I wondered I has 1/4 of a tank when I dropped it off. He said he wondered if the guy forgot my car was out there running and it ran out of gas. Max felt so so bad that he kept apologizing I said it was okay and kinda made a joke about it, he said he could'nt believe I was so calm, and told me I was a model customer. Max offered me a ride since I told him I needed to be a the rec center at 6 for scouts. He took me home and told me that he would go get a 5 dollar gas tank fill it up and get my car started and drive it to my house and oark it in the driveway. When I got home from the rec center there was my car. I have to say that it looks so good and clean, I haven't drove it since I had it cleaned I have been driving the truck and the beetle I don't want to get it dirty it looks so good. They do an awesome job and recommend them to any of you. It was a really funny situation and had to laugh about it.

Could life slow down just a little????

Okay so I am not the best blogger ever as you all know by now. It has been a horribly busy 4 months and I tell myself that I will get caught up on my blog, but it just never happens. So I am now finally getting the chance.
Lets see where should I begin?? Hmm we went to my Dad's the 2nd week in February and had so much fun, I wish that I could move there and be closer to him, and my Great Aunt Roma lives there and I love to visit her everytime I go, she is so awesome.
My Dad, Joey, Quentyn, Draydyn and my nephew Dylan all went out to Patrhfinder and went ice fishing and they had so much FUN!!! My step mom and Timberlyn and I went shopping, I love going to Hobby Lobby while I am there, they have the best scrapbooking stuff ever like 12 rows both sides and its like a scrapbook heaven or something.
And then the sale of Girl Scout Cookies started, ok I must admit that I love selling the cookies, but delivering them really SUCKS, Timberlyn sold 2000 boxes this year, her second year being the top seller in the Uintah Basin District. AWESOME! I must say myself...
I needed church clothes and work clothes like no other,because I have gotten FAT I think and we went to Park City a few weeks ago and had some fun, and wished I had lots more money to spend, but now that everyone is losing their jobs, I thought well we had better save our money now.
I have enjoyed working the 3 days a week, and it's nice to see people that I haven't seen in a long time. 2 of the depatment managers that I used to work with are now assistamt managers and I love working with them they are so FUN, to work with.
