Tombstone pics

For those of you who have read Paul's and mine blog, you'll know we went to Tombstone on Sat. It was a great time. Okay, truth be told, my time there was awful. I saw it for a whole 20 minutes, nineteen of which I spent either vomiting or thinking of vomiting. And that doesn't include the times I threw up at the mission or on the way to the mission (poor Sam had to wake up to a nice little gift from me splattered across his car window).
.
After walking like 4 blocks at Tombstone, I decided to go back to the car, and then spent hours asleep there. I'm so glad we drove 2.5 hours so I could sleep in the car. No, I'm just kidding. I had no idea I would be that sick, and we got to see the cool mission (again read our blog if you don't know what I'm talking about, and you should feel guilty at this point), and spend more time with Peggy (who also threw up once that day - what happened to us?), and Pete and Wendy. Okay, Paul got to spend time with them. But that's really good too. And then the reenactment of the huge showdown gunfight they had, and which I came out of the car and my long slumber for, I spent outside with a crying baby.
.
Jenny and Chris told me I was a really good faker all day yesterday. Maybe so guys, but apparently I like to complain the next day a lot too. :)
.
So here are the rest of the photos from our trip.

Everyone else who came, post your pics if you can. Paul and I wanted to see what you guys have!



The below shots were all at the Mission

ask and ye shall recieve...

Around Valentine's Day I blogged about the beautiful Brittle Bush that grew in my yard. If you read the comments you would have seen my cheeky comment about wanting a Coach bag to blow into my yard. Well... don't you just love it! I discovered garage sales on Craigslist and outlined a fun morning of hunting. After getting wood blinds for my bedroom for a steal I happened upon this garage sale with a Coach bag for $3. One of the handles was broken, (which I fixed with Gorilla Glue) and as far as I can tell its legitimate. Regardless, a great diaper bag for $3 can't be beat. And I think I passed Mom & Dad leaving one of the garage sales! "Did you find anything good?"

With Special Thanks to Molly


Allie has totally been into Peter Pan ever since Molly's show. Lately she has pretended to be Wendy (before it was Tinker Bell). She even has a blue night gown that she calls her "Wendy night gown" and how convenient that she has two little brothers to be Michael and John. Jason is still and always will have to be Captain Hook (too bad because sometimes he wants to be Peter Pan). Anyway, tonight we had the missionaries over for dinner. Allie was telling them how she goes to Primary now etc. We were talking about our children and their ages. Jason asked Allie in jest who her favorite little brother was. She replied "John".

Please, sir, I want some more...



Has anyone seen this child's parents? We found him on our doorstep with a runny nose, swollen eyes, dirty diaper and clearly in need of some parental attention. However, his hair did appear to have been gelled into a "faux-hawk." (Some serious lack of priorities there, if you ask me.) If anyone has seen this child's clearly neglectful care-givers, please, please notify Child Protective Services immediately.

Okay, my wife just informed me our own children often look like they were found on the back of a milk carton... So, this one's not so bad.
