2007-05-PaiuteTrail
Here are some pictures of our trip down to Marysvale and riding the Paiute Trail for 3 days. The Paiute Trail is an interconnecting system of trails that cover a lot of central/southern Utah and it's rated as one of the top trails in the nation for ATVs. The annual ATV convention is held here every year. I can see why. Click on the picture above to see the entire album and be prepared to be jealous.

Looks like a beautiful area. Pretty waterfalls. The view from the one cabin was amazing. I'd love to look out my living room window and see that.

I'm surprised they have cabins that are somewhat maintained enough for people to go in.

So dad . . .

Look Familiar?

You should have gone to see those Indian wall writings we saw on our trip. They're down there too.

One of our choices on the ride was to ride over to the Indian museum. We were just too busy going other places. Maybe on our next trip down there. Wanna go with me?

Oh yea...and I thought I had seen pictures of that mine park before. :-) That's just up the road a mile or so from my friend's house.

You took a lot of pictures! Yup, that was the same area we went to on our trip. I would go with you pa but alas, I cannot for I am in sunny california....even if it isn't so sunny right now. Mom it looks like you've lost some weight. Kudos.

The reality of it is no, there are not such trails around here. Most of the mountains around here are taken up by fancy cabin subdivisions and ski resorts and the like. There are a few trails, but nothing like down there. You have to go to Reservation Ridge to get some good trails around here, and the reality is they're not as nice.

Thanks, BUFF!
Kim is addicted. We did find out that our Kawasaki 250 is too small for Kim. We are considering buying a bigger automatic transmission. If we don't we will burn the one we've got up pretty fast. And if we do, we may just keep the smaller one, so we can take our kid...but that might be a problem, cause we would need a bigger trailer to haul 3....are the kids even interested in going with us is the question?

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

potty training done

By -

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
