April Fool's

So the morning started off with us waking up to all the door handles greased and toilets saran wrapped with love by daddy. He thought he would get us before we had a chance to get him. Then I made pancakes for the kids (something I don't do too often) but they were filled with salt. Then the fun begins with all the kids tricks here and there. Bowdee covered my steering wheel with grease. At preschool I gave the kids all a maze that they had to complete but there was no way to make it to the end. For dinner we had a Mystery Dinner which we have never done before. We all choose 3 things to have for dinner. They were all starving so dad didn't take it to well when all he got was olives and cheese and a fork.

But it was fun anyway. I also did the good old I'm Pregnant trick. But I sure hope Karma doesn't come back and bite me on this one. Anyway we do love a good trick at our house the fun just goes on and on through out the whole day. Terry even taped my cell phone so I couldn't hear on it. Funny Boy!

Rock Hounding!

This weekend we set off for a quick adventure since the weather was so nasty. Instead of going camping we settled for a free room in Wendover and a long drive through nowhere to get to the Geode Beds once again. We hit Elderado once again with finding many Geodes then we headed to Topaz Mountain to try our luck.

We found the Teardrops but on Friday we didn't have any luck finding the Topaz. We came home and googled it and decided we just had to go back and give it another try. So Saturday morning we headed back to Topaz and we got lucky. We ran into a really nice couple that gave us some good tips on where to find them.

I tell you this stuff is addiciting. We got there at about 1:00 and stayed until 9:45pm. We found some nice Topaz and the kids thought it was great just digging through rocks looking for "Crystals".
Terry and I on the other hand took it as a challenge. Who could get the biggest and prettiest. Out of the two of us I think I kicked his butt. I am really determined to make some kind of necklace with the topaz I found. We will see if that works or not.
