Fathers

Happy Fathers day everyone. This is my fathers day tribute to all of the fathers in my life. First There is Trevor. He loves his little girls so much. They love to have their play times together and laugh and giggle but they love to have their quiet times together when he will just lay beside her and rub her back.

Then there is my father. He is the one that I have always turned to for guidence. He can calm me down and make evrything better even in the worst of times. He knows what to say and how to listen. He has always been an amazing exampel to me of hard work, faith, guidence and love.

Then ther is my father in law Joel. He has been so kind to me. He is always calm and I know he would do anything to help Trevor and I. He likes to hang out and have fun, but he is one of the hardest working people I know, and he has taught his boys how to work. He loves his family and the girls that have been brought in over the last couple of years (Elizabeth and I).

Trevor and I also have six amazing grandfathers who have shared so much with both of us over the years, they have loved us and taught us and shared so many memories and traditions with us. Grandpa Steve, Grandpa Hoy, Grandpa Nelson, Grandpa Craig and Grandpa Davis Grandpa Floyd (who I don't have a pictures of on my computer).

Finally between our two families there are 6 brothers that will all be celebrating fathers day one day.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

Revival

So... I am single handedly going to try to revive the blog. You get to know more about people and more details than facebook. So If you read my blog please comment so that I know I am not just talking to myself, and if you have a blog UPDATE IT!!!

Trevor is home for the weekend but in classic workaholic fashion he went to work. He has been working out in Safford for over a month now, he goes out there for 4 days and then gets a 3 day weekend, not to shabby if you ask me. But then he realized that if he works the 3 days here, between overtime (friday saturday) and double time (sunday) He can make the same amount in three days as he does in four. We are on a streak with trying to pay things off and unload baggage to prepare for an upcoming event. As well we have a big summer coming up, I am going for a week in Utah with my Mom's family and Trevor is goiong to alaska on an all male fishing trip with his uncles, cousins, brothers, father and grandpa. He is VERY excited but it all costs money.

Outside Girl

Elizabeth loves to go outside. Trevor took her out with her while he tidied up a bit. She was sad when I took her back in so he could mow. She stood at the door and watched, It was so cute. She is definatly a summer baby.

Pictures

Who said paint had to be on the wall?!?!

Okay so I can't find my patch cord to down load the pictures from my camera, I am assuming that it is in the desk drawer but it is full of junk that I don't want to deal with yet, so for now it is lost. Anywasy we were painting one of the walls in the front room and Elizabeth was playing the the floor with one of our house phones. Neither Trevor nor I were paying much attention. Then Trevor got down off the ladder to get some more paint when he noticed that Elizabeth was looking into the paint bucket, yes our phone had gone for a swim. We now have a brown paint clogged phone which you can still hear a dial tone on but you can't press the buttons or look at the screen. We washed it off best we could and it served as a play phone until Lizzy lost interest because it stopped making noises. Maybe I will go find my cord so you can get a better picture.

Roadtrip

We took the long drive up to Green River for Memorial day. We drove all night to get there. Brutal. It was a great trip, we went shooting, got haircuts, played cards, saw Pirates 3 and hung out. It was fun to spend time together.

Elizabeth had a fun time learning how to climb stairs and playing with all the stuff in the pantry.

We stopped at the Hoover Dam on our way home. It was really fun to stop and look at. Thay are building a new bridge so that there won't be as much traffic on the dam.

So when Elizabeth learned to crawl we came up with the brilliant idea to save our books....we just blocked them all off with the couch pillows. Well she has now learned how to stand. She leans leisurely on the pillows as she gets into the ones on the next shelf . My brilliant plan is ruined.

Nothing Really

Things have been going kind of slow lately. Trevor has been enjoying his new job. I have been looking at the prospects of a new job. Elizabeth has been entertainging us. My Birthday was the other day. I spent the day watching bits of an Audry Hepburn Marathon on tv and scrapbooking. Then we went to Spiderman 3 later that night. As I was sitting at the table scrapbooking I looked down at Elizabeth. She was playing in the scraps that had escaped the table. She always makes me laugh.

This Kid Will Eat ANYTHING!!

So Elizabeth (in true craig fashion) Is not a picky eater. She will eat anything you give her. With her two little teeth she can get through. She loves eating real food. One of her new favorites is taco soup. I was hesitant about giving it to her because of all the spices, then Trevor let me know how he has already given it to her and that she also likes mild hot sauce. He likes to give her new things while I am at work. She was really grumpy one night and Trevor pulled out a can of whipping cream. I'll let the pictures explain...

Just a little sun

Between going to Mexico, weeding the yard and just playing around Elizabeth has gotten her first sunburn. It is just a little one, but she is normally so white. It doesn't seem to bother her at all, I just feel so bad. She was in her stroller in the shade but...... I guess there was just no stopping it. It is too bad she is albino white like her Mumma and not tanned like her Dad.
