We're home after spending a week with our friends the Robello's camping on Monroe Mountain in Fishlake National Forest. Our camp was at 10,080 ft in the trees just above a small lake and just below the peak of the mountain. It was nice and relaxing after the hectic pace we've had for the last couple of months. We rode on our ATVs some days, and others we sat around the campfire, played games, and read books. The weather was cool....first night was 32 degrees but it warmed up during the day to the 50's, 60's and sometimes the low 70's. It rained on us real good one day/night but with our warm trailers and our rain suits for the ATVs it didn't bother us at all. All the way home I was thinking I was going to have to bale our lawn but when we arrived, Katie & Brett were just about finished baleing it for me. What great kids.

Looks fun. Since when do ATVs need a bridge to cross a marshy area?

A relaxing vacation... It's been a long while since I've had one of those. It's not quite the same when your full-time job goes with you. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves!

Chad: ATVs don't need a bridge but the forest service wants to preserve the marshy area so we used it. Christa: Been there, done that, outgrew it, hang in there....or at least go on vacations with people that are willing to help.

Exactly what I was thinking Christa. We are going camping again this upcoming weekend and Kiera is so excited. I'm keeping food simple, but it is still going to be a ton of work!

Tent camping is a pain; A disease that I am glad I am cured of! But, we did it when we couldn't afford to do it any other way...for the kids of course!

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
