Our 3 loves

So it's been a few days since I have updated the blog and I know that all of you out there are Mckinley starved. Above is Mckinley's "sup" face....

Here is our little monkey with her first Oreo encounter...as you can see she LOVED it! She is now almost 17 Lbs. according to her last appointment, and she has been on the Nutramagin formula- $26 a can but worth every penny! She is now saying "dada" with a little coaxing and just got her toenails painted pretty pretty pink today.

The yard sale find for today- there wasn't much sweet action this weekend but I figured this was worth the 50 cents! This VHS tape will NOT be going on e-bay or Craigslist. Truly priceless.

And....my husband Mark.....his paradise, his sanctuary. No need for a vacation when this greasy, motorcycle filled oasis awaits EVERY night. His four mistresses, VFR, Dirtbike, Chopper and the Trail 90.

Another trip to the tortilla factory

Well here is another exciting post by the man of the house, what topic would he choose you ask? Hmm let's think, how about my motorcycle!! Tony and I took another trip to Tortilla Flats today but it was our second choice. I got a motorcycle hauling trailer from Tony a few years back and since we are taking our bikes to Laguna Seca for the Moto GP race in July I figured I would fix it up. Tony and I were going to trailer our bikes to Salt River Canyon about 100 miles away for the trailer's test run if you will. I had just finished repainting it and I put down a new floor on it and a brand new set of tires. The tire shop only had one size bigger in stock but we thought it would be ok. When there was no weight on the trailer the tire had clearance however after it had two bikes on it it rubs. Well Tony and I were in a hurry to go and so we had not checked this before we left and only figured it out at the first stoplight when I asked him, hey Tony do you smell burning rubber? Sure enough the tire was rubbing and is now primed and ready to be recycled into asphalt or glue or concrete or whatever they turn brand new ruined tires into these days. Needless to say I was mad. We decided to go to our usual spot about 30 miles away and still had a good time. We took some video for everyone to see so enjoy.

Here is Tony

Here is Me

And agian here is Tony

And again here is me

Now before you all give me the be safe talks remember these two important facts

1. The camera adds twenty miles per hour

2. The speed limit on this road was 100mph so I was only going 15 over

April Showers bring Utah Visitors :)

Happy Easter Everyone! What a great Easter we had...besides the fact that Mckinley is back to her ornery self. We now believe the culprit to be a little tooth on the lower right side. She officially had the worst meltdown to date today(30 minutes of screaming, uninterrupted) wasn't Grandma MaryAnn glad she was in town for that! :) Screaming aside- our little angel looked darling in the dress from Mimi. Easter morning was good- I was surprised by Mr. Williamson with a Nintendo DS- pink of course, and the Brain Age game....good times. According to my Suduko skills, I now have the brain power of an 80 year old...hmmm. We went to church today- well, Mark, Mary Ann and Shar went to church and I waited in the foyer while Mckinley tested her lungs. We went to the Stephens for dinner- good company and nice to be with our Pseudo family for the holiday.

Mary Ann and Shar are in town until Wed. Wish I could take a few days off to spend time with them but I am sure Mark will keep them entertained. Saturday afternoon they got into town and we went to Joe's Farm Grill for dinner. I found the neighborhood of my dreams-Agritopia- the name says it all. Mark and Doug did a side job there this week and Mark took us by the woman's house- gorgeous. It felt like I had left AZ and was now in the Blackhursts' stomping grounds of old town Pasadena. The houses were to die for.

On Friday night, us and a few peeps from the ward went to the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant. It was truly amazing- we have never been the whole time we have lived in AZ, and since I have a great friend from work who was performing, we decided to go. It definitely did not disappoint. There were live animals, an amazing set and an all around amazing vibe since we were surrounded by 15,000 people or so. I highly recommend it- book Hotel Williamson now for next April :)

Yard Sale Mania!

I won't name any names (you know who you are) but now, I am totally and utterly addicted to YARD SALES!!!! Me and a few ladies from the ward got up @ 6:45 to head out to some community yard sales...above, the gems of the day. A Mud Pie dress, a little small for a dress but I think it will make a darling shirt, some OshKosh jeans, a 4th of July dress, jammies and the FAVORITE..the zebra print Gymboree dress. I paid a little more for this one than I would normally but (justification time) it was almost new, no sales tax....seriously! I also got Mckinley a swimming suit that is super cute too. So today, spent $10 total on all that I bought. There is some sort of thrill I get from rummaging, bargaining and coming home with cute stuff :) On to a great conference weekend!
