"Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blaze..."

So, after flying the plane, we got back to the house to mess around on the 4-wheeler! It was a rather enjoyable ride, since I have never actually ridden on one before until then! William had a great time riding with Peter! =)
And of course, when you have to wear these alien looking helmets, might as well try and look like one, eh?!?!? =DCaleb and the little man! He wasn't too fond of the pink helmet, but I told him only REAL men wear pink!

Caleb was willing to drive me on the 4-wheeler. In all honesty, I thought it was going to tip and I was going to die with that heavy thing on top of me! But, it was fun!

William and his friend, Faithy! They are so cute together!!

Caleb and Em

Abby ready to have her turn!
BIG difference in our shoe choices!

Jess, Faith, and William

The little girls, ready for a ride!
The picture says it all! Say cheese!! =D These were the coolest knives! Reflections are so much fun! Especially when you put your sister in it! =)
So, the next morning (which would have been a Wednesday) we got up at 4 in the morning, got on the road at 5:10 and started another long drive full of 926 miles! While we finished packing our cars it started to snow. That's right! SNOW!!! So, driving through the rest of CO was....um.....fun!

Then it started to rain, then snow AGAIN!

But, at least the kids were happy.....

and also they slept and listened to Adventures in Odyssey!

Of course, driving in sludge can be a GREAT big adventure, right?!?

Wondering how long this snow will last!

Our crew!

This was for my sister and brother-in-law! My grandfather calls their baby Noname because of not revealing her name until the baptism!

And of course, the Tardis went right with us through rain and snow!

"Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace, let's follow our leader into the glorious unknown. This is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure!"

"Come on get ready for the ride of your life
Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind!"

"And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored
This is what we were created for!!"
" We'll travel over, over mountains so high, we'll go through valleys below."Happy the sun decided to come out while driving through Utah and Nevada! Those places are so incredibly beautiful and have the BIGGEST skies ever!
Jess and Grace

"Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see."
Jess and William

And of course, the Tadris was soaking up as much sunshine as it could!

So was Jess!

Grace looking very thrilled about something!

Beautiful sunset!

And this is another one for my fellow Dr. Who fans! If you've seen the Beast Below, you will understand what a great predicament we were in when we found this in our hotel lobby!

Well, this happens to be the end of this post! Next one will be an interesting one....(hopefully)! Praying y'all have one terrific Sabbath and Memorial weekend!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? {insert grin}

    I looks like you all had a great time with the Chapas'! I loved it when we went over the Rockies. It is pretty amazing being in the sun right before entering the mountains, and then driving through the snow. I love the snow though!:)

    I love the picture of Jess with the knife. Thanks for sharing!

    We sure did have a grand time with them! And I have to agree, going over and through the Rocky Mountains was pretty thrilling! Even with the snow! We were all in flip-flops and dad had shorts on, so we looked like a bunch of tourist not really knowing how to dress properly! *laughs*

    T'was memorable, so I guess that's all that counts! And those knives were the COOLEST things!

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
