Go Ben!

Some pictures from our Seder meal on Friday night.I think there were 100 + people there. I'll post more pictures from the weekend later.

Hmmm

.....sitting here flipping channels between horse racing and ice skating, relishing my relaxation time. This week with getting ready for Passover weekend is going to be insane as was last week.


The past three days were spent at the state cow show in Ogden with my dad, Ken, and Ben. First day we were there it was incredibly windy and I will now spend the next 3 days cleaning saw dust and other dirt particles out of my eyes, ears, etc.... It was nice having Ken there, he made me look like a hard worker. A few more weeks of that and I would actually have some muscle. As with all cow shows, there were the miserable moments but all in all it was a lot of fun. If you find yourself fascinated by it all, go ahead and visit http://www.eskdaledairy.com/

I normally wouldn't take pictures of a truck and trailer, but this is a little bit of an upgrade from what we used to take to shows. :o)

Washing the cows. Definitely not the job to have since it was so cold.

Dad and Ben clipping Allie-Sue.

Cary came and visited us the first day, and he's cleaning sawdust out of his eyes. You can't tell by the pictures, but it was extremely windy that day.

The cows relaxing.

Me getting the heifer ready for the show.

Dad in the show ring.

Don't be fooled. It looks sunny and green, but it was FREEZING! I had two shirts and two jackets on the whole time we were there.. Kenneth is going to love that picture.

Long Day

Don't know about everyone else, but I'm still trying to get used to the new time change. I went on another online shopping rampage last week. Bad Net. I got my new entertainment center today, so I spent the better part of the afternoon putting it together until it was time for dance practice. It gave me an excuse to rearrange furniture which seems to be a hobby of late. I have to change the setup until I find one that I like well enough to keep.




Shawn was out here yesterday to fly (crash) his toy plane. Ken and I were with him and I got sunburned. I don't look as fried as Shawn does, but my face and my neck were pink. I guess I need to get back in the habit of wearing sunscreen and a hat.



Today was really warm and sunny too, and I had good intentions of planting flowers, but never got around to it.



The Jazz won a game last night, and then lost bad tonight. I did see Raul last night because he was on the halftime show, so I'm set for a week or two. ReAL Salt Lake also started their season, so I have another obsession to start working on. The problem with soccer (or futbol) is that they only have like 10 games in 4 months. That's a little different from the 10-15 games/month schedule of the NBA.



I'm starting to get boring. HA! I'm out.

Wow

I can't believe it's April already. Time is flying by.

Last Tuesday, the Timpview Highschool band came to Eskdale and had a concert with the high school here. It was fun to hear them play.



Last week on Friday we had a big birthday party for Chandra, Sharon, and Caleb. The dessert table rivaled the dessert table at Condie family reunions. Ummm....dessert.

We in the dance team have been starting to work more on dances for Passover. I'm only doing three, so it shouldn't be too stressful.



The weather can't decide if it's going to be warm or cold, but mostly it's cold and windy. Well, if I had a better memory I'd be able to write more, but alas I can't remember past the last few hours, so I'm off to finish writing up the menus for next month.

Nightswimming

Woo, hoo! It's always nice to beat the Lakers. The Jazz finally won a game last night.....I think that merits a new post. It's been a long time. I guess I'm getting a dose of what it feels like to be a Clippers, Hawks, Hornets, etc.....fan. Hee, hee....Although, we're bad enough I should be wanting the Jazz to tank the season totally so that we have a higher draft pick.

The kittens are sooo playful now and I feel like I have kids. I've had to start "disciplining" them with my squirt bottle. When Megan was here she decided that was her job. When the kittens fight they both whine and cry, so I'm sitting there saying "Stop fighting, be nice to your brother/sister, stop tearing up the furniture!" Egads. They also think that if you are walking around the house that you are a moving target. That's okay, I didn't WANT those pants anyway. They aren't discriminatory, if you aren't wearing pants or shoes they still attack and at this point my body is covered with scratches. Although, after an exhausting morning of chasing me around the house, all 3(mother and kids) are sprawled in my lap sleeping as I write this. Awww....cute.

Last night was REALLY windy and rainy. I was wondering if the shack would still be standing by morning. I'm still here and today looks like it will be more of the same. Valerie bought some flowers and I was hoping to plant them.



Hmmm....maybe I'll go do something productive now. I'm out.

Ummmm

Janille just came and picked up her kids. Megan, Kayli and I had a girls night last night since Caleb was having an overnight birthday party with all of his friends. I can't believe Caleb is 6 already. Kayli and Megan spent the night watching Disney Princess stories while I kept track of the Jazz game on the internet. We did go over to my parents house to say "Hi" to my aunt and uncle who were visiting from Washington.




The kittens new thing is to crawl up my legs while I'm sitting at the computer and fall asleep in my lap. Awwww....it's so cute, but can be a tad annoying.



Janille and I went to Provo on Thursday to go shopping. Woo, hoo! It had been awhile since I had left Eskdale....besides going to Delta with Tara last weekend. I don't think Delta really counts as getting away though. I did get my Cafe Rio fix though, so now I can continue to crave it for another month or so. Heh.



All the college kids are going back today, so things will be alot quieter around here. Ah, well.



Well, I'm currently watching the Vermont/Michigan St game, and I think I'm going to go take a nap. Kayli and Megan let me sleep in till 7:00 this morning, but I don't think that quite cut it.
