Teton National Forest

Last Saturday we went with a group of friends to bike the Teton national Forest. They plow the roads through the forest through April but do not allow cars just bikes and people walking. By far the coolest bike ride I have ever been on, it was about 20 miles and we made Sam and her little friend bike it, I was so impressed they did the whole thing. We made a couple of stops to rest but we pushed those little girls pretty hard. I can not wait to do it next year. I will not be blogging for about 2 weeks becuase...........brace yourself..........we are moving AGAIN!! I know I am so excited. Actually i really am excited hopefully this will be our last move. I will post pics of our house when we get settled.








This is why I never post pics of myself, I never have my eyes open, tell me do I really look like this in real life, do i walk around with my eyes always half open? Do I just think that my eyes are open?




Josh realxing.




Stunning view.

Deep thoughts from Lexi

Driving in the car again.
Lexi to Sam: Sam have you noticed that whenever it smells really bad Dad or Joshy are close by?
Sam: Yea!

Camera is lost!

I wanted to stay with my goal of updating my blog every Sunday but I have looked every where for my camera and finally remembered that I left it at Grandma and Grandpa Dalleys.
I really could not think of anything interesting to talk about with out some pictures so I thought of something even more uninteresting a observation of mine..............hold on this is going to be a good one:)
I recently went to a little gymnastic center with Josh the other day for a little open gym to let him run free when I had a interesting epiphany as a sat between two breastfeeding mothers, you can only move a few hundred miles down the road and you can practically move to another country. You knew this? Well then stop reading and let me go on.
When we lived in Texas there was a definite theme in the names of the people, we knew a "shotgun", (he was our landlord) "T"(yes that was his whole name) "Skeeter", there was a lot of Jim Bobs and the women all had the middle name "Lee", Oh and how could you forget "Fudgie" yes I am serious.
Then we mosey on over to Utah where we spent 10 years, In Utah the names were always cutsie . They were always spelled so weird, or I mean unique. I worked at both a Doctors office and taught kid fit where I had to Always try and pronounce a kids name that was given to me on paper that looked something like this, "Taaeliero", uhhmm I am not sure. The problem was when i would try and pronounce the name I would always get at least one irritated parent who would huffily tell me that it is Taylor, like I should know.
Then we move a couple of hundred miles North and that brings me back to the breastfeeding women that I am sitting next to. This town is a very Eco friendly , all natural , organic area. As I sit on a trampoline between these two very sweet and friendly and so not shy women I listened to the names that they were calling their children, Ollie, Phoebe, Beowulf, Fin, Aquarius, Ollieharrison(I think that is how you would spell it), and Huck. I felt so boring and unintelligent to yell Josh's name across the gym.
After my epiphany I thought about my children's name and what culture would have influenced their names, that thought was short lived because Josh stole Beowulf's ball and there was an unfortunate wrestling match, unfortunate for Beowulf because his family happens to be Vegan and Josh outweighed him by about 20 pounds.

We finally have internet, YEA!!!
Josh has a new obsession, tractors. Lucky boy has two grandpas that farm so two weeks ago we went to Pa Pa and Ma Ma Moyes's and he was able to ride his beloved tractors. He now drives us nuts, all we hear the moment he wakes up is, "Pa Pa.........Tractor........Fuuuuuuuuun! Over and over, it is much like the "It is a small world" ride, cute at first then bordering wanting to rip your ears off if you have to hear it anymore.
He also is in love with the snow blower and the lawn mower. He will sit outside for ever pretending to drive them. One day I kept finding him washing over and over the lawnmower with a little spray bottle and a rag.
The picture of the girls on the sledding hill was our back yard from our other rental house. We had the best sledding hills there.
Some of the other pictures are from one week when the snow melted just enough that we were able to take a walk. That quickly came to an end when the next week it snowed every day and we got a couple more feet of snow.
Thank you to everyone for the condolences about the house, I am actually OK with how everything worked out and hoped that I did not sound real down. I just think that moving 14 times in 10 years of marriage is enough. I am ready to find something more permanent. Too bad that I am so stinking cheap and can not get myself to pay the money to buy a house here We do need to figure out what we are going to do because this rental is very squished. I do like it because the friends that I have made actually live in this neighborhood and since Steve travels all the time I do not get so lonely, the poor saps though I am sure they wished I would move.

Pictures

Our newest addition is this yummy puppy.
I did not realize that Kayla was old enough to get pregnant.........well she was. Kids grow up too fast these days.
The sad thing is that Kayla actually had 4 but only one lived, it is HUGE. Since it is the only feeding it is very much so obese. These pictures are of it at 2 weeks.
