"I deny it not" I did see the comedy of errors

So the coolest thing happened tonight. We went to the Greenshow tonight. It was way fun and rejuvenating. I got talking to Nate how their were alot plays I wanted to go see this season. so I went to the box office to see how much students pay and they said it was 1/2 off 30 minutes before the show. We had our kids with us so their was no way we could go. We decided that Nate would take the kids and I could go, so I ran to my car to get my purse so i could buy a ticket. When nate went to the box office to buy me a ticket, the Lady handed one to him and said somebody had dropped it off and didn't need it. they said we could have it, so i got to go to the comedy of Errors for freeeeeeee! The seat was on the 4th row in the middle section. It was great and their was no one blocking my view!! Thanks to my sweet and awesome and sexy and.....Need I say more?! ....Husband for taking our kids so I could go have an evening out. I feel bad though. I really want him to be able to go with me!!! So alls we need is a babysitter one night for 3 hours. If their are any takers let us know!!!!!

Cowboy Up!

The 4 of us went for a horse ride today out in enoch. It was Dakota's first time being on a horse. She seemed to enjoy it. She sure looked around alot. The horse Nate was on (Donatello) started acting up towards the end. It was scary being on a different horse and watching to people I love getting knocked around. I was mostly worried for Dakota, but she handled it fine and it didn't seem to phase her. I think she knows her daddy will protect her. Owen and I were on Chipper aka Chip. Owen calls him/her chip. Every once in a while Owen would take off his hat and hold it high and yell "ta, ya, come on horsey!" It was pretty funny. He would talk the whole time about horses or animals he saw. It was fun to ride as a family!! We went swimming yesterday. Dakota got a New float tube she enjoyed sitting and relaxing in. Owen became a dare devil yesterday and wanted to float in a little round tube by himself. He would tell us to let him go if we held on to it. The one he was in just had a hole in the middle unlike Dakota's which had support in the middle. It has been fun!! Then we ate at Mcdonalds for lunch today and Owen played in the tubes and the ball cage. He also got a free Ice Cream from Mcdonalds. They do it for all children who are under 12, so I got 2, one for Owen and One for Dakota(we ate Dakota's) ;)

PrairieDog Heaven

I just saw the most twisted and disgusting image ever! I was driving home in my automobile:) and swirved to miss a prairie dog which was all bloody and his body was flopping crazily on the ground. It was like a chicken with his head cut off. UuGH! I guess that is what they get when prairie moms don't teach their prairiedogs to look both ways before crossing the street! I had one stand upright on it's hind legs and just stare at me. i figured once I got close enough it would move. I guess we played chicken and I was, unfortunately, the chicken! the darn thing was dumb!! then just today after seeing that nasty image, 3 prairie dogs were on the side of the street. One crossed in plenty of time, then the 2nd made it across barely. I slowed down to wait for the 3rd one, but it just sat and stared at me, so I figured it would wait. Then as I pressed the gas it decided to cross, and low and behold it went under me. I freaked out because that is just gross to kill something with your car. I guess I shouldn't assume that a prairie dog will wait for a car before crossing the street. I looked in my rear view mirror and it was flopping then a few seconds later it got up and finished crossing. It was odd. I wonder what crosses their minds, if they have one. Was thatr dog dared by his buddies to do that or do they think they rule the world and everyone will stop for them or are they really just stupid things that are plotting to take over Cedar City?! They say they are endangered, but the organization that decided that has obviously never been to Cedar city!! If they are really endangered it is because they run in front of cars and eat eachother! anyways, that is my deep and intellectual thoughts for the day. Owen is asleep and Dakota is trying to eat a wrapper, so I better go!! She stuck her binky in her mouth, I guess the wrapper wasn't very good. she is a very active and fun baby, but when she crawls I will have to keep a close eye on her very curious mind!!!! Owen has been wearing his huge boots everywhere. He says, "Owen wear boots like daddy!" It is pretty cute!

Doing my Best

Dakota likes her popsicles!! So I let Owen color on paper with a pen today and he did that for awhile then he colored all over his legs! He is quite the kid. We had a good 4th of July. We went up to Brian Head with some friends and had a BBQ. We were going to stay for the fireworks but Owen got too cold and was whiney so we saw them as we left. We atleast avoided the traffic jam. It was nice. I got to thinking sometimes it would be nice to just get a break from kids for more than an hour and go do something like that without having to worry where they are at and if they are okay. I think that is a sign that Nate and I need to go on a long date. That would be fun. We are scared to leave Dakota with a babysitter though. One, she won't take a bottle, but she does eat solids. Two, she has stranger anxiety or something because she cries alot when we leave her. I am okay with her crying, but I worry about the babysitter. I just need to find somebody willing to deal with that and make dakota get used to it!!! Owen loves the pop its. He got to do them for the first time the other day. It is funny how something so cheap and little is so amazing to a child. I love it. We are babysitting my little brother and sister this week. Owen will love it. he loves Keagan and Vanessa. He will have tons of fun. I will have to watch Dakota well. Keagan loves her so much and is such a big helper if you know what I mean. Well I have to go work at the gym. See ya later.
