Rascal Flatts

Tonight I went back to the suicide survivors group which by the way I still haven't decided if I like, I mean the people are great but the concept is rough. But I will continue to go because I feel like I have taken a little something away both times now. Each time you go you state who died this time we had to name them by name, what relationship they were to you and how they died. It sucks yea I know. Therapeutic in a weird way. I don't think I have said my dad's name out loud since he died because I always call him dad saying his actual name tonight was hard. Anyways after we did that facilitator played this song by Rascal Flatts. They nailed this song and yes the whole room was crying.



There is no video so here are the lyrics:

It must a been a place so dark, couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Mmmmmmm

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah yeah yeah

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place

Oh why there's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cried

Cause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song

Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song

We still haven't tired from it.....

These two love to be outside. They helped themselves to a picnic with french fries on the stoop

 

 

 

These little suckers are the best. I learned to make them from a long time family friend. Twice this week we have had bacon in spite of the swine. These are stuffed jalapeno's wrapped in bacon. Yummy.

 

 

She is super cute this one

 

Cooking out again

 

Fajita's on the grill are awesome try it sometime.

 

Childrens Museum

On Saturday we took Payton and Zack to the childrens Museum. It was fun they saw Clifford

 

Planted flowers

 

Rolled bones up a conveyer belt

 

And Payton shopped at Smiths

 

They played in water

 

Used another converyor belt

 

And pulled themselves to the top of a poll with a rope

 

 

 

We made these paper airplanes

 

Then they fell asleep in the car

 

And we hit Sonic

 

Just another day in the life.

I know they are all super cute.

On Friday I watched my friend Dorie's kids and my niece. They had a great time together. Although I discovered that five is hard and I am not sure how Jon and Kate plus eight actually survive with all their little's. I always wanted five and these are good kids but seriously I am not real sure now. We'll keep you posted:)

We made homemade green play dough complete with a little mint extract for a yummy smell.

 

 

Kade enjoyed a banana from the fruit net that I actually had from Zack.

 

 

Let the house projects begin

Taking pictures in house are not easy. I am talented enough with the camera to know how to give justice to what has transpired in this space just today but here are some pics anyways.
This is just a plain like off white tan color. What ever it's name it was not a very good color.

 

This is the sky

 

This is the starting of the grass

 

More grass

 

 

 

I know it is hard to tell but this is a road that wraps around the whole room. Tomorrow or this weekend I will add a yellow strip. And by the way it is chalk board paint so he will be able to draw what ever he wants on it. Super cute. I am so excited. My Liz mom and I got him new bedding for Christmas and that was the inspiration for the room.

 

 

 

 

The green color is more of a grass green the pics really don't do it justice so I guess if you want to see the true color you will have to come visit. Don't come too soon though I have a whole house that needs to be painted.

But here is the list of stuff we have finished in two and half days.

Four closets primed and painted, washer and dryer installed, dishwasher installed, two ceiling fans, and now Zack's room. Yea it is happening slowly but surely.

Off Roading Flop

So last Sunday we attempted to meet up with several other four wheelers to go off- roading, but after driving almost 50 miles the wrong way and getting pulled over for driving too fast through an emergency wreck we ended up home two hours later mad and hot. So we decided to go find our own trail on the other side of Hoover Dam.

 

 

He was so tired he even slept through the bumpy roads.

 

 

Getting our truck into four wheel drive

 

The view from the road

 

These are what Cliff likes to call poser pics.

 

 

We don't have a flat it just looks like. I volunteered to get out to take the pic because this sort of stuff scared me.

So ever since I moved to Las Vegas there are signs all around Hoover Dam that say watch our for the long horned goats. I never really believed we would ever see one, much less a heard. In fact when my friend Cheryl was here a couple weeks ago I said to her that is my goal to see one of those suckers before we leave Vegas. Well low and behold we don't just see one we find 10.

 

This guy at first we thought was fake. You know how you see statues of animals here and there. Then all the sudden he moved. I couldn't believe it. So we slow down I climb out the window and take lots of pics of him. Then.......

 

 

We realize there is a whole heard of them.

 

Click on the picture and open up this pic full screen and you can see all of them at the bottome. They just watched us as we cruised by.

They blend in so well.

 

He was having a blast off roading not being in his car seat. Which by the way was more like driving down a dirt road.

 

We picniced.

 

Had a lovely view of the river.

 

The trail we took

 

These little dudes really exist.
