Grand Canyon West

Hualapi Ranch

Hayden's favorite horse. He really wanted to ride but you had to 7.

Getting ready to be hung

The Sheriff and the Deputy

They threw me in jail!

Phedora was giving me some tea though :)

Haha, the tables are turned. The Sheriff is now in there.

The beautiful view from our room.

Breathtaking isn't it?

Phedora wasn't to sure about the ponies.

This type of pony is a "Diamond breed"

Taking a break for a little snack.

Smiles!

Taking a wagon ride out through the landscape.

She's finally smiling!

They told us this was a dinosaur footprint.

Not so sure I believe that though. But who really knows.

Playing

Hayden's back in jail again :)

Hanging out enjoying the view while Phedora took a nap.

His tumbleweed he found.

He wanted to bring it home with us.

Holding a real cowboy's gun.

The lead up to his first time shooting a gun.

Unfortunately the camera didn't have enough juice to record the shot too.

Taking his first shot!

His bullet casing. He was showing it to anyone and everyone.

Monsters vs. Aliens

This afternoon the kids and I decided to take the afternoon off and go enjoy a movie. They have been talking nonstop lately about Monsters vs. Aliens and they have been very good what with all the packing and all so we went. It was a cute movie and the kids enjoyed it. Not sure it was worth $40 to see but since the kids love the theater so much it was $40 well spent.

There's a preview out for it where this man is running down the hall and is going through the secured door. To get in he scans his hand, eyes, elbows and then pulls down his pants and scans his behind. Phedora sees the man running down the hall and she yells to me "Mom! This is where he pulls down his pants and sits on the thing" I about died laughing. She is just obsessed it seems with all things potty related. At times I think she's a little boy trapped in a little girls body.

Both the kids got a little scared here and there. Nothing that I found to be scary but they scare easily so its to be expected. They are now excited for July 4th and the new Ice Age movie. I on the other hand am excited for October when Where the Wild Things Are comes out. I also am looking forward to Ice Age since I have loved the first two movies.

My Vacuum...

Well, yesterday my vacuum broke :( I vacuumed up the dining room and then hooked up the hose to do the edges and all of a sudden it started making this terrible loud sound. Like it was going to blow or something. I called up Halo and left them a message and they of course called back today while we were out. However, I did remember to mail in the registration for it when we bought it so they had my email address. They sent me an email saying that the fan on the motor was probably broken and that's not covered by the warranty :( However they are going to send me a new vacuum this once! I love my Halo and now they are nice enough to send me a new one. I am so excited you don't even know. I got upset when they said it wasn't covered. But they made it all better in the next line.

Notes to myself...

I have a terrible memory so today I...

Making progress everything is ready to go! Yeah!

Got the address changed yesterday. Thanks Veronica!

Olivia~ I have directtv already. I didn't know you had it when we set it up. They were the only ones that had the football package that we had to have so we could watch the Seahawks' terrible season last year.

Coming Home

After meeting with three different moving companies all we have left to do is make a decision. The movers will be coming on the 6th to pick up our things. On the morning of the 7th the carpet cleaners are coming and then at 12:30 we are doing our final walk through here. Then its off to California and possibly Disneyland. As of right now it looks like our things will be up in Wa between the 9th and the 17th. As we get closer to moving date we will get a better time frame. We are hoping for between the 13th and 15th though. But will take whatever we get I guess.

I am off to do some more packing. Now that the moving companies are done going through here I feel like I can really get in there and get it done!
