Carny


The carny is in town....... love it and hate it......... Love to drive by hate to go......!!!! Morning I am told is best. Nights are like living on the wild side in some foreign country south of us. But if you go with Bushman's I am told you may get some extra excitement. One year they saw someone they knew arrested. IT WAS NOT ME! Another year they witnessed a mullet man driving a red neck truck hit a lady (going slow but did hit her) and her child. I am not sure going with them is safe but it is exciting. Anywho's I am going tomorrow. MORNING. and trying to skip the hard core carny's if anyone wants to join me.
Saturday is the parade. Have fun with that. The only good parade in the state I already attended. I will be boating.
See ya next week on the next field trip. PAYSON LAKES.! It will be a blast. You must not miss this one. I will post Saturday or Sunday the times and details. Have a Great Weekend.

Wednesday GEO- Cashing, Humanitarian , and Lunch

We are going to have a blast GEO-Cashing. It is like going on a treasure hunt. Things are going to work a bit different for this activity. So here is the plan.........................
We are going to humanitarian at 10 am with kids in hand. After we are done with the projects we will be having our lunch with all that show up to humanitarian. You need to bring something to share for lunch. I am personally bringing something so good you will love it, :) Jenny should be calling everyone on the lunch too. After lunch we will go on the Geo-cashing leaving right there from the church. Lets try and carpool to make it earlier while we are driving around finding our treasures. You need to bring something to put into the boxes. You can only take something out if you can replace it with something else. I personally bought a bag of goodies from Party Land in Lehi. It cost me about $3.98 for a bag full plastic cute farm animals. No candy or food items are allowed in the boxes. We will be inviting all the Mom's that go to humanitarian this week to go on THIS field trip only. We do not want to hurt any ones feeling since we are leaving from the church and eating at the church.
So you need to bring....
1. Something yummy to share for lunch
2. Something to put in the boxes so your kids can take something out.
OK now here is the part I need help with........ If you have a GPS devise. I need you to call me today!!!!! I need to get the hunts downloaded on to your GPS system. I have the hunts already.
Ken can help with this. We plan on getting this done Tuesday Night. So call me so I can arrange a time to help you get this done. I have 2 GPS devises. We need a few more though.
Fyi-- The river trip is below this post . If you are going post now!

Steel Days Week Activities and Field Trips

Ok here is the scoop.................. I have allot I am doing this week. ..............Due to the fact that NICK Broke His Arm, and I can not go to Cali!!! I am going all out to have fun so I do not cry because a beach house sounds so much better then the carny. You are all invited to come if you would like.
Monday is a official Field Trip. Bike Ride and then Breakfast at my house. I need to know who is coming, and who is just eating breakfast.
Tuesday is not a official trip. I am just floating the river and a few that did not go I asked if they would like to go this time. And a few that already went I ask to go also. I guess I have a big mouth and asked the whole world basically to go. So come and bring a friend.
Wednesday is a official Field Trip and it is Geo-cashing after HUMANITARIAN.
Thursday is I guess a field trip activity (The Sticky Shoe)but everyone goes on the day that suits them best. It just so happens to be a play this week instead. Because of Steel Days.
Friday I am going to the carny and hope to meet the man of my dreams, hook up, and be taken away from all the drama in my life right now. :):):) So there is the scoop starting Sunday i will list the activity for the next day and all the information you need. You can respond and I will know if you are coming or not.
But for today you need to go down one post from here and let me know about the bike ride and breakfast. The trip is closed officially tomorrow. I am listing Monday's because I have a wedding tomorrow evening and I need to buy the breakfast items before that. You have until tomorrow to let me know if you are coming. After that the field trip is closed or canceled.

Delta Res


OK this is just a added comment to see if there is any interest to this field trip........

Is anyone interested in a Delta Res Overnighter with families? We could tent , trailer, or motel it. AND........

go to the Res and play and boat for a day. The Res has a sandy beach with trees and picnic tables.

All could go but there would be some cost involved for the boat gas. Let me know if this is something you would or would not like to do?????
There are 2 other new post besides this one. Look below too.

Fun on the River


We had fun on the river today. If you take into account that Patti was cold, Jenny wanted to know where the rope was the whole time, and Shauna Bushman dogged us. All in all a good time. Jk. It was a blast. We had fun. The sun did go away for a time and we were a bit chilly at times. But once again my boys had a fun time and loved the field trip. I did not think that I would enjoy this summer as much as I have when I quit working in November. I was so worried about what I was going to do to not want to go back to work. Thanks to a few good ideas, great friends, and Ken's money (lol) I am totally content to just mooching off Ken and enjoy the SUMMER! lol. Thanks to all that went today. Thanks for being my friend and enjoying this summer with my boys and I.
p.s. The picture is when we were leaving the fun one river town of Leamington, Utah population 217. There where more of us that went on the river.....but did not get in on the picture. Jenny got to town and wanted to know where the gas station was. had to inform her it was 30 miles back in Nephi. or 30 miles ahead in Delta. So she flew by the photo op.

Trent's Mission Farewell




Our Dear Trent Searle's Mission Farewell is this Sunday. I am going to be sad for him to leave all of us. BUT I am excited for the great experience he is going to have and all the great life lessons he will learn.

He is going to honor us with a great talk on Sunday and all should attend. Our Church like always starts at 11:00 a.m. I will tell you that there are many Searle's out there and friends that will be attending. You will want to be to Church early this week. Make sure you all scoot to the middle of the row do not just sit on the ends.

Sticky Shoe

Remember the Movie tomorrow. I have 2 extra tickets if anyone wants them.

Manti Pageant


The Pageant was allot of fun. I really enjoyed watching the Book of Mormon unfold and the story of coming to the Salt Lake Valley. We have really come along way since then. It is all amazing. But the most amazing thing is that the Gospel has not changed,.
The cabin was fun even though I ended up staying behind to go to Haylee's Dance and leaving early to get my kids to Scout Camp. All in all it was a great time. I have really enjoyed the Filed Trips with my Friends.

Manti Over Nighter




The Manti over nighter is coming up this next week. I am so very excited. It has been a few years since I have gone to the Pageant. We need to get a count as to how many people are going with us. We need to hand out food assignments.


The place we are staying at is in a gated community. This means you have to have a card to get in and we only have one card. The cabin is at the top of the Mountain so coming down to let people in is not easy. We plan on leaving right after lunch at 12:30. It has about a hour and 15 minutes to get there.
We will eat dinner at the cabin then go down to the pageant. You will sign up for a food assignment for what to bring. We will BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs. Everyone will bring there own meat. You will need to sign up for toppings, a salad, chips, paper products, buns, or drinks. We will have pancakes and sausage for breakfast. You will also need to bring your own meat. We will have you sign up for pancake mix, syrup, butter, paper products, milk, and juice.Due to the fact that we have several boys and girls. We are going to have boys sleep upstairs and girls down stairs. There will not be showers in the morning as there is not enough water for all of us to shower. We are using someone elses cabin and we need to be respectful, and treat there home with our very best manners we have. Please remember that we are guest and should act as so while at their cabin.
Please sign in the comments section below if you are going to be coming and how many are in your party and if you can leave at the time posted above. We need to know as soon as possible.
Remember to look at other post as there could be a few at a timethat need your response too. Thanks
