A little music clip

This is a little clip from the show

Soul Rebel Alliance

My Mom and I did a marathon trip to Cali last weekend. We left on Sat. night after my cousin Jordan's wedding and came back after Arthur's show on Sunday evening. But, it was totally worth it. Arthur was awesome!! you should really check em out:

We met up with Sam and Dia who were already in Cali on a little vacay.

This is the first set they played. The set was mostly Frame of Mind stuff. We met some of Arthur's groupies. It was great. The music was awesome!! Then the boys from Off White joined in for a song. (recognize the curly hair dude? he was on American Idol)

Frame of Mind + Off White = Soul Rebel Alliance aka the headliners for the Street Fiesta

We had such a good time! (I know, the pouch has arrived!)
This is the boys on the main stage

Check out the crowd!!

Jensy's new trick

Last night at about 10:30 I hear Jens screams at the top of her voice "Daddy! Daddy!" Mark goes in there, and then I hear "Jess, come quick." I run in there and I see Jens butt naked neatly handing her wet diaper to Mark. No interest in the potty, so maybe she wants to just change her own diaper for the rest of her life?

Ranch Love

We finished up the week at the Sproul reunion at the Ranch. As usual, it was good times.



This is My Uncle Clark (age 92) and his son, His new wife and daughter in law going out for a ride.

We went for a little ride/hike to check out some pictographs.



Marin was nice enough to take MJ back on the four wheeler.
I didn't get any pictures of the shooting extravaganza. Maybe I can make a deal with someone.

Grandma, lets play dog and cat

On the way to the Farm MJ says to Grandma, "Grandma want to play cat and dog?" and Grandma being the good sport she is said ok. So they sit there for a min and then all of the sudden and out of no where, at the top of her voice MJ barks at Grandma scaring the something outta her AND the rest of us. I am still laughing just thinking about it.

Here is the back story. This is a cute little kitten in the picture that was hanging around Grandma and Grandpa's house-- That is until Max the dog noticed it, and went crazy barking at it. Needless to say it didn't come back.

oooo- Pretty

look what Jens found while Grandma was out. Yep, that would be lipstick.

Good times in Roosevelt

Canoe

We took the canoe out to Sand Wash one day. This is the 5 min canoe ride. I guess the girls didn't think it was as cool as I thought they would.

Uncle Dave was so nice to go swimming in the cold water with MJ. She had such a great time.
Jens didn't think it was that great. I think she cried, screamed, or whined the entire time.
Sam was a good sport though. He and Max :)

Utarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Grandma took us to some friends house/farm to see their great animals! It was very entertaining :)

Look- It is donkey from Shrek!
Feeding the goats

This was the highlight for me. Meet Ranger the llama. And he likes to give kisses. Too freakn funny.

Jens wanted to take this pony home. She sat on him for ever and was pretty upset when we had to move on.
This was the pony's baby. It was so cute, and the size of a large dog.


We also saw birds, bunnies, baby bunnies, horses, more goats, guinea pigs, chickens, roosters, and a colt. But if you ask MJ (and all she would talk about) the only thing that she thought was great was three little puppies.

Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's

We escaped the heat and went to Utah to visit the Grandparents. Mark had to stay and work, so the best brother you can imagine (Sammy my Manny) went with me (I think it really was in the best interest of the kids lives).

The girls had so much fun! They painted


Picked rasberries

Ok, Jens just ate them

Made hollyhock dolls
And that was just the first day!
