You might think we just live near red dirt and plateaus but just a short drive toward Flaming Gorge you end up in pine and quaky aspens. Vernal is a great place to live! It is similar to Blanding.<br />

After our long night at the Relay we all slept in and were well rested enough to head out for a hike. Dinosaur National Monument has lots of little trails perfect for kids. We decided to visit Josie's Cabin</div>

Josie was a pioneer woman whom had been divorced multiple times and decided to move out to the middle of nowhere. David and I decided she must have hated people for how secluded her home was.<br />

Many people thought she had poisoned her last husband. She was an interesting woman who was thought to have housed criminals like Butch Cassidy. She was completely self-reliant in every way. She raised cattle and chickens, she had an orchard, a garden and took care of her home. <br />

Caregiver and Survivor lap. I realized that cancer doesn't care who you are. There were people of all ages young children, young parents, grandparents and every age in between. It was very sobering during the silent walk to see how many people in our community have been affected. <br />

We had some fun, ate good food, talked with friends and walked our laps. We walked laps for Dillan a little boy from Chandlers school who passed away from leukemia in April. And we walked some special laps for Grandpa Black. :) <br />

We didn't leave until 12:30am and Brinlee was still going a hundred miles and hour. We put her in the truck and she was asleep before we got home. She was so tired she couldn't take the sucker out of her mouth. We had to pry it from her when we got home. Ha AH!<br />

<br />
Mom: You can take a few but I don't want to hear any crying if they get chewed up by the lawn mower.<br />
<br />
Chan: Ok! Do you think I should take 3, 4, 5.....30? No wait that is way too much. How about 10? No 15? Ok I will take 50! <br />

Vernal is the place for our little family! We have been on an adventure every weekend since it has been warm. Today we hiked to the McConkie Ranch Petroglyphs. It was about a 2 mile round trip hike that was just the right length for 3 little kids. </div>

Top Right: Brin being sassy as can be.<br />
Bottom Left: Chandler our "trail leader" and Brin his assistant to the trail leader. <br />
<br />
At the beginning of the trail was a large bucket with walking sticks. Chandler decided he needed one and that since he had one he was the leader. It was nice. There were many snack and drink breaks, he made sure we walked safely and even made sure we could all fit through some of the tight spots. <br />

The petroglyphs were much different than the ones we have seen in Blanding. They are Fremont Indian drawings and are very old. So old that a lot of them are really hard to see. I darkened the photos so it is easier to see them.<br />

Brinlee quickly became Great Grandpa and Grandma Van's favorite Great Granddaughter. Grandpa Lyle called her "sweetie" all day. Later that night he made the mistake of calling someone else sweetie and Brin was mad. With her hands on her hips she said "I thought I was your sweetie!"<br />

I only had Chandler so we were able to have some good conversation. I told him we needed ketchup so we headed down that isle. While passing the jelly we had this conversation. <br />
<br />
Chandler: "Mom, can we get some grape jelly? I am really sick of just peanut butter on my sandwich."<br />
Mom: "Sure."<br />
Chandler picking up the most expensive one: "I want this one."<br />
Mom: "That one is really expens........<br />
Chandler: " Ugh, and don't tell me! We don't have a coupon for it, right?"<br />
Mom laughing: "No we don't we just need to get the store brand."<br />
Chandler in his mom voice: "If it isn't on sale or no coupon then no jelly!"<br />
<br />
Later down the snack isle we had this one.<br />
<br />
Chandler: "Mom can I get this?" (ring pop)<br />
Mom: "How much is it?"<br />
Chandler: "I don't know! They didn't teach me nothing in school!"<br />
Mom: "Well what did you do all day?"<br />
Chandler: "Nothing, apparently."<br />

We did it again! Right now we have 7 chickens in our backyard. One is a rooster so he will have to go soon. I don't think the neighbors will appreciate him. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4MZ7kVyvb8A/UZ7cDqde5JI/AAAAAAAAB0k/auGQs578ATU/s1600/DSCN2341.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4MZ7kVyvb8A/UZ7cDqde5JI/AAAAAAAAB0k/auGQs578ATU/s320/DSCN2341.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

This year we really tried to keep our focus on the true meaning of easter. We had a special family home evening about the atonement and watched The Lamb of God. It was is nice to know that our kids have some sense of what easter is all about. Not just a big bunny, I may or may not have a love hate relationship with the easter bunny. Sure enough he found our house and left a few surprises in our kids easter baskets. </div>

When we moved to Vernal we had been told it was really cold. Nobody told us it was snot freezing inside your nose, can't go outside, -20 for a week cold! Honestly we have never felt cold like that ever. Our road was iced over the entire winter. The house had icicles, huge icicles. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YE7H9cIufrQ/UY-8KrDSzzI/AAAAAAAABhI/GXqEiUejh3Y/s1600/DSCN1917.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YE7H9cIufrQ/UY-8KrDSzzI/AAAAAAAABhI/GXqEiUejh3Y/s320/DSCN1917.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>

Now we know it is cold and will be better prepared for next winter. Until then we will be enjoying the sunny skies and warm weather.The Blackshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05734817125847231740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812200617257510352.post-27936182274713945722013-05-23T18:56:00.003-07:002013-05-23T18:56:36.410-07:00School Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Chandler is my big school boy this year. He really enjoyed kindergarten but mostly recess. He learned so much this year! He is becoming quite the reader and loves to write us all special notes. We just got a letter that he will be in the Spanish immersion class for the first grade. He is really excited! All of the kids in our neighborhood will be in it with him.</div>

Growing up way to fast!<br />

</div>
At around 11:30 p.m on October 7th 2012 I woke up thinking I needed to use the bathroom. To my surprise I didn't quite make it! My water broke and I mean broke. There was water everywhere and my clothes were soaked. I woke up David and told him and he kept saying "Are you sure?' Ha Ha I don't think that man will ever really believe me until I make him inspect the spillage on the bathroom floor!<br />
<br />
We woke up Marcia (she had been with us for a week due to some "false" labor) and got ready to go. I cried all the way to the hospital. I hadn't given Chandler and Brinlee a kiss before I left and was sure it was going to impact their lives in some significant way. David reassured me it wouldn't and I quit my boobing. When we arrived at the ER I was soaked through again.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The nurse got me checked in and dressed. They checked me and i was dilated to a 3 at about 12:45. My contractions were consistent for a while and then started to stop. The Dr. started the pit (around 2am) and I had some pretty painful but bearable contractions for a few hours. Watching the Walking Dead seemed to keep me pretty distracted! At 7:30am I was pretty uncomfortable and dilated to a 7 so I had the anesthesiologist called to give me the epidural. The first time it only worked on my right side so they had to give me a 2nd one. The second one put me to sleep almost instantly. It was crazy! At around 10 they checked me and I was dilated to a 8 almost 9. I went back to sleep and woke up in some pretty serious pain. I felt like i needed to push so David called the nurse. She checked me out said I was ready to go and called the Dr. She had me start pushing. It was painful, ripping in half painful! After the 2nd push she told me I had to stop pushing because the Dr. wasn't ready yet. Are you kidding me? I could feel everything! The Dr. ran over told me to push and Preston was out. They didn't even get the bed apart! It was madness. </div>

It was the most wonderful sound I have ever heard. This pregnancy was tough and with all the surgeries and medication I was so worried about him. They told me he was perfect and I bawled and bawled and bawled. I have never been so relived in all of my life. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cMOFAu82DgI/UO815Kk8qKI/AAAAAAAABcc/w8U7VX5uBG4/s1600/DSCN1740.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cMOFAu82DgI/UO815Kk8qKI/AAAAAAAABcc/w8U7VX5uBG4/s320/DSCN1740.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

He weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 19in long.<br />
Absolutely perfect!<br />

Showing our true form as Rednecks we took the kids to the shooting range on New Years Day to shoot clay pigeons. It was a toasty 5 degrees so we all bundled up and jumped in the truck. </div>

The camera unfortunately died before I took my turn. Without grandma's butt trimming magic I think I will wait for a while to post a few pictures of my self. :) I only missed 3 clay pigeons! David was pretty impressed to say the least.<br />
Please don't think we are unsafe parents. All hunter safety rules were followed and the kids were outside the truck for only 20 minutes. The rest of the time was spent in the warm truck watching Brave.<br />
<br />
We had a great day and a fun afternoon!The Blackshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05734817125847231740noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812200617257510352.post-34305050278404443912013-01-03T19:27:00.000-08:002013-01-03T19:27:17.708-08:002012 Black Style<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2012 was probably the most difficult year we have had as a couple. There were many "growing" up experiences this last year. We are stronger for them and great full for the blessing we have received. </div>
