at the pool in Mesquite

Love the swim cap

we have polygamists here in.. well, all of Utah, and they have a certain
look, besides the clothing difference kind of pioneer looking,
the hair on the women is never cut and
they put a BIG swooptie poof in the front...
here's Mariah's plig look

Notice Justin's missionary tan?

Mariah and Mandy had a hair color swap, not even planning it

we had fun, I could have stayed here forever

Mason

Nolan got his first black eye and was pretty proud of it
he got a ball to the face during one of his little league games.

It's her BIRTHDAY!

Happy 16th Birthday Mariah
the bad part was it was on Mother's day
so she had to share

Taking Mason to school this morning we saw this field in town.Do you think it's still cold here????
ice from the irrigation water hitting the ground and fence

They've started irrigating the fields, but it's still cold in the mornings

Enterprise Dam

Enterprise Dam

The lower reservior is so full that the spillway is overflowing
causing beautiful waterfalls

we played around the small one
for Family home evening last night

We needed to get a little warmer, so we drove about 40 minutes

and went to Winchester Hills, a development we like that

backs up to BLM land where there are sand dunes, it was so fun.

Mason after general conference, he likes to dress up

and often wears his tux to church, he found a carnation

probably dropped after a funeral a couple days ago, there was

a button hole in the tux, and

shazam!

We were one of two families who went to the

church to watch conference. I guess they all have

cable or satelite. One of the things I was excited about

moving to Utah, was watching conference on TV without having

to pay for it, I picked probably the only place that doesn't get

signal for that station.

We came home from church to this, it was still coming down hard
