I Can't Wait!

I can't wait! Tommorow my grandpaarents and cousins come over for a barbecue and a little swimming. My dad has an awsome grill and we bought a bit of patio furniture. So eating will be great, unless its windy and trust me it sure isn't fun to eat in the wind. And swimming always fun! Its almost hard to believe its in our backyard now because it was just finished. My brothers and I used to dig in our backyard, building miniture cities or hiding "valuable treasures" and a while later it a giant hole! Not to say that that's a bad thing. But after three months it has become a 6 foot deep, chlorine water pool with an awsome waterfall.

I just found this video I took on my Pink Jeep Tour in Sedona. I thought it would help you get an idea of how bumpy it was! Now this is only 18 seconds of the tour. There were parts where it was much bumpier and he was driving a lot faster.

That's Weird!

In our house lack of imagination is no where near a problem. Here's an example: pink Barbie guitars are known as head smashing warhammers. And Barbie RVs are known as mobile army camps.

WooooHooo!

I'm sorry I usually won't have a picture. Anyway, today was really fun for me. Today they started filling up our pool (but it takes 22 hours so it is filling as I type). It wasn't completely filled but our family proved that a pool doesn't need 40,000 gallons of water to make us happy.
So we swam, jumped, fought, and hung out in a half filled pool. We supposed we should make the best of it because it would be the only time we would be able walk in the deep end. My mom also got a ton of plants to place around the pool. The flooring is what they call pebble tech. They're real pebbles cemented together. The pebble tech gives the water a natural color so it looks like a mucky pond but the water's clean.

Ooo! Ouch!

I'm sorry I don't have a picture but I have a story. Last week my entire family (on my mom's side) had a family campout. We intended to stay for five days but there was an unfortunate turn in events. On our third day my mom gave me the baby and said that she and dad would be taking a quick ride on our brand new ATV. Along the way my mom decided to get of the quad to let my dad have more freedom. The next moment he was falling down a blind hill and landed head first on a rock; a pointy rock. My mother sent my cousins (who happened to be with them) back to camp to get help. When my cousins arrived at camp she was teary-eyed and we had a truck and an Arctic Cat ranger on their way in a few seconds flat. When they got there they wrapped his head and got him to our van. My uncles escorted him t Strawberry (Arizona) where an ambulance met them there. They said that Payson wouldn't do anything for him so they flew him to Pheonix where he was stitched up put in a neck brace. He's got a nasty cut on his head and he fractured his neck but at least he's alive and walking. He has to where a neck brace for three months but it only gets better each day. A big bummer is that we are going to finish our pool in a few days and he won't be able to swim. But at least we're all happy!

The Pink Jeep Tour in Sedona

We had a great time in Sedona we all got on a pink jeep and the driver took us down Broken-Arrow Trail. He made sure he didn't miss any good bumps. Afterwards we roamed down the street shopping and eating lunch. Yessir we sure had a lot of freedom!

Sunset Crater

After we finished with Wapatki, we went to see Sunset Crater. I enjoyed my solo hike along the trail. I even saw a few sputter cones which would spew lava, similar to volcanoes.
