Circus

                                                     The boys were looking at the elephant!


This week was really uneventful until Friday when we took the boys to the circus, I think Teegan waited all day for this and it felt like years to him. It was alot of fun, we weren't sure how Brennen would do but as long as something was going on, and it was he was just fine. He did eat alot of popcorn though that that was just fine with him. Before the show you can give your kids rides on some of the animals, it wasn't to bad but we decided to let Teegan pick one and only do that instead of all of them. He picked the camel, Wy and I said we would have picked the elephant but Teegan said it was just to big for him. Between you and me that camel was not small. Because Brennen is still to little to do the animals we let him ride the kiddie train with Teegan, he got to ring the bell he thought he was pretty neat stuff.

Saturday, we celebrated Mother's Day, Wyatt took us to the Edge of the Cedars Museum in Blanding Ut which is 20 Minutes from us. Because he works for the BLM they let us in for free which was really nice. We got to see some really cool pottery, arrowheads, baskets, and what the puebloians could do with the Yucca plant. Teegan got a badge saying he is a Jr archaeologist. Behind the museum is some pit house ruins, and a Kiva (which was used for religious purposes) we were able to climb down into the kiva, the boys really enjoyed it and it was nice to get a better idea of what Wy does all day. True most of the stuff he works with is not in glass cases yet. We followed up the museum with lunch at this diner in blanding that was really good. It was a great day and I was glad to be surrounded by my favorite boys!

So I guess this is a big deal in this area, it is a feather apron but what is cool is that it is made from the scarlet feathers of the Macaw. Which is only found in Mexico and Central America this proves that there was trade going on.

Wyatt is explaining the way it was built and what has been restored and what is original.

Excited to be down in the kiva.

 

A new place

Well its been almost a year since my last post not the greatest on my part but here is what we have been up to recently. Wyatt was offered a summer posistion working for the BLM in Monticello, Ut. So we decided to take this opportunity for him to gain more experience as an archaeologist and moved down here this week. It is a really pretty around and you can be outside of town and into some beautiful mountains in like 2 minutes. Wyatt loves it and I am adusting more slowly but I think I will like it too. The town is really quite and the people are really friendly. The ward was great, which always makes moving to a new place nice. The boys love having there own place and haven't been fighting to badly. They still miss Grandma and Grandpa like crazy though. I will have to post some picture of the town but I didn't have my camera with us when we went exploring. We did see a herd of deer on our way up the mountain. Teegan was excited. Moving down here has given me to opportunity to stay home with the boys again, this should be good and exciting as I figure out how to stay at home full time again. I'm sure the boys will survivie, they seem to like it so far. Before we moved down here we stopped in Salt Lake to visit aunt shilo and aunt megan, we went to the zoo which the boys thought was great. I couldn't get many pictures of Teegan because he refuses to hold still long enough to be in one, Brennen was close to the same way. Brennen loved the sand cats, which were cute little cats about the size of a house cat that ran around like crazy. He also liked the birds and was bound and determined to catch one. He didn't but he sure tired really hard, running and diving under people to catch this bird that was behind the glass it was funny to see. Teegan said he liked the buffalo and the tiger, which we got a great view of because it decided to sleep underneath the glass window.

I loved the Giraffes and Elephants!

Well we had alot of fun and it was even better because we had Shilo with us which the boys loved alot. Well we are all doing really well and are enjoying getting to know a new area!
