Aaron and I decided to go to Emery County, Utah this year for Memorial Weekend. We both grew up there. We stayed with my mom in Huntington and traveled to Aaron's Grandma's house in Emery for their annual get together. My city girls loved the country! Here are some pics of our weekend there.
We could not keep them off of these swings except when it rained for 2 days straight!
My cute little Maddie!
This is a little playhouse that my dad helped my sister build for her girls. She still hasn't moved it to her new house so it was there for my girls to enjoy!
Ashlyn cleaning her "kitchen".
These are my mom and dad's chickens. Every single one of them has a name lovingly given by my mother. This is a picture of Pete and his "chicks". These hens follow him everywhere. My mom sadly has to get rid of him because he has the annoying habit of crowing at the worst times. I had a horrible headache for a couple of days and one night I was actually able to start falling asleep and right when i was about in la la land I heard him crow. I thought to myself "NO NO NO it is not morning already I am sooooo Tired and I was almost asleep". So I got up and looked at the clock and it was only 12:30! He crowed about every hour until about 4am and I seriously had to talk myself out of clubbing him with my dad's 9 iron. Sorry animal lovers but I had a severe Migraine and he wasn't helping at all.
This is Scruffy. Ashlyn tried her hardest to catch that little thing and I felt so bad because she just wasn't fast enough, but she didn't let that stop her from trying every chance she got.
Maddie was more successful. Poor little Scruffy had to be rocked like a baby the rest of the night.
And last but not least the Mother of the Year Award goes to, ME! for not packing my children jackets. They were forced to wear Grandma's. I've been the recipient of this award numerous times and for numerous reasons.

This is George. He gets beat up alot by the other roosters and has been forced to live outside the coop! I feel so bad for him.
My mom loves her chickens and they don't kill them and eat them at all. They are more like pets so I thought it was so funny that she had this sign on the side of their chicken coop!
They found another swing at Aaron's Grandma's and took turns pushing eachother on it.
This is Jodie. He is Aaron's cousin Charlie's son. I had to take a picture of him because you just couldn't help but smile seeing this kid. He looked so cute with his little cowboy boots, marshmallow face, and the best part of all his toilet paper binoculars! I call this picture "Mischief on Wheels!"
We built a fire in the backyard and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. It was so much fun for the kids. Don't their faces look like they are having fun? No? I guess hot dogs aren't as much fun as marshmallows. They don't catch on fire.

This is a picture of a creepy old church in Emery, Utah where Aaron grew up. I'm pretty sure it's haunted, but I wasn't about to find out.

Holy POST! That was the longest post you've ever done! I wish we could have seen you guys this weekend! It didn't rain as much at my house and it was still about 70. Remember how we used to call you Elmira(pet torturer from tiny toon adventures)well I think that Maddie has taken the title from you! That poor dog!
I think they need to take that rooster and fry him up! Crowing every hour! ANNOYING!!!!
Cute pictures!
cute cute pics! I don't blame you for not packing a coat for your offsprings. You came from 100 plus degree weather. You tend to forget that places get cold. And that old creepy church in Emery...my Mom almost burned that down when she was a youngin. Sorry she didn't succeed
Looks like you guys had so much fun there. We used to have chickens growing up oh how I dont miss that smell. When you come from 100 degree weather its is hard to remember to bring a jacket, thats funny.
Congrats on baby number 3! That is so exciting.
I agree that church in Emery is haunted- after playing nightgames in Emery numerous times I'm even more convinced it's haunted!
