Road Trip
This weekend Mom and I went to Penrose, Utah for a small road trip. Yes there was a purpose behind the trip. Can we say we had a little persuasion when Kaylee called Granna and asked her if she would come up to her house for a sleep over.
Let me introduce you the the Duval residence...
So now that you have seen all the views of the house you can see Kaylee's favorite thing about her house.
We played with Celeste, Kaylee, and Caleb and today went on a walk and saw 4 different horses, picked a bouquet of flowers for Kaylee, ran in circles in Mary Ann's driveway, and threw rocks in the "river" (the irrigation ditch). Over all it was really fun minus the air mattresses malfunctioning and cramped position of sleeping on the love seat. Maybe we will do this again.

Completely Exhausted...
The last 2 weeks have been extremely eventful. I will start on May 30th and give you a rundown.
May 30th-- We moved Celeste & Jason to Penrose, UT. This is up by Tremonton. It was an all day process, of course.This is Jason after cleaning the truck's steering wheel. Rather disgusting if I say so my self.
Mom and I took the kids in my car because the van was filled to the brim with other stuff and the moving truck definitely was filled to capacity. (Oh by the way that is my car you see there.)
May 31st-- Well Caleb Lamar Duval received a name and blessing today from Jason. We went to church for a bit and then met at the park for a picnic with the family.
Here is Kaylee avoiding having her picture being taken. She was so glad to have Joel there to play with her. I couldn't play with her because I was wearing a skirt and trying to be lady-like.
Here is Caleb, the man of the hour, on the left. He slept through most everything. On the right is Carter and Justin. Carter is a very cute and happy baby.
So the week trudged on since then. Mom and I spent this last weekend working on the landscaping of her back yard. We spent time hauling dirt, tilling, and then planting some shrubs (baby trees according to Kaylee Anne) and then some perennials to keep the beauty going in the back.
The Air Show was Saturday as well so as we worked outside we watched the planes as the flew overhead. Mom and I took a break and sat out front on lawn chairs to watch the Thunderbirds as they did their show.
Today--June 7th-- day of exhaustion-- I went to church and came home and slept for 4 hours to recuperate from the madness of the last little bit. I am looking forward to the next week of excitement and time will run away from here.

Up to Date?!
Well, life has been crazy busy. Last weekend Mom and I helped Celeste and Jason move to Penrose. This is a little town right by Tremonton, Utah. Oh, how I do love the country. I have felt rather trunky since going. I miss being down at Jacob Lake, driving through Fredonia and Kanab, going to Zion, Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, etc.
Other than that nothing else is too exciting. I did not have hip surgery because insurance companies are a pain in the hind end. Instead I bought a new car( one that I can actually get in and out of without hurting really bad). Since the picture won't copy from the website you will just have to look at it yourself.-- You can google the Kia Soul. Mom calls it "Blondie's Toaster." It is Java colored( metalic brown in real language). The interior is houndstooth.
Nothing else is really going on. Just keep on working and staying out of mischief.
