The BIG Decision

A few years ago, I had daydreams of going on camping trips in an RV! ( I know, sounds funny).  I even went so far in my dreams to think that we might tour the west in an RV and stop at quaint little RV parks with grassy knolls that overlook scenic vistas!  Well, after much planning and begging, we finally got a camp trailer.

The trailer worked out nice for us, and we were able to go camping on the mountain, Sand Hollow, and Lake Powell.
HOWEVER...
This Spring, we found a great deal on a NEWER Trailer.

I am afraid these pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the idea.  It has 2 slide outs, so you can fit a lot of stuff in there and it makes it nice when you are camping.... We only had one problem when we bought the trailer--Our truck.  It didn't seem like it would have enough power to pull it up hills.  So we had to make a decision.  Should we sell the new tailer?  Should we buy a bigger truck?  Should we take our chances, and just go slow up the  hills?
Our Decision:
Announcing the FORD F250 SUPER DUTY

We are excited for the new truck!  So, bring on the grassy knolls... here we come!

We had a great time at Spring Training... 3 games in 3 days... 85 degree weather, singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at the 7th inning stretch!  The best part was spending time together....
Can't wait for next year!

Jeff's Birthday Visit

Jeff, Sarah and Eli came home for a visit for Jeff's Birthday!  We had a great time and it was good to have them come and visit.  We didn't take very many pictures....I guess we were too busy just visiting and eating!
Thanks for coming Jeff and Sarah.  

See you soon Grandma!  I have to go home now and help Mom and Dad find a new home!

Sarah and Eli waiting for Jeff to get his crossword puzzle done.....

Jeff and David doing a crossword puzzle... They loved doing them together.  Such brain power!  
March is here already and I am getting Spring fever.  I bought some seeds today!  We are going to try an early planting for beets, carrots and peas.  While I was busy having Spring fever it snowed today!  It didn't stick on the ground, but still..... 
Keep the hope!  Spring will come.
