MoaB MaDdneSs

Carson and I went to the great town of Moab the other weekend to watch Aaron's first Motocross race of the year.

First of all I have never been to Moab so of course I got on my trusty computer and used MapQuest to figure out the best route. I figured it was 2 hours to 1-70 then about another 2 or so to Moab. First mistake, I didn't read the fine print. Second mistake, we left at 7:30pm. Third mistake, Aaron was driving alone so I talked him into just meeting me at 1-70 so we could follow each other. (Let it be known that it would have only taken Aaron about 2 1/2 hours from his house to Moab.) Oh yes and there is a Fourth Mistake, It was supposed to SnoW!

Well we hit snow (which is an understatement) past Cedar and I was white knuckling it while my Co-Pilot Carson was laid back with his i-pod taking a little snooze.

Aaron called and he got pulled over because his tail lights were out. We met at 1-70 and I tailgated him with no tail lights going 30 mph to Richfield. We stopped at Wingers and the waitress told us that it was still another 3 1/2 to 4 hours to Moab. Especially in this snow! (Are You KIDDING me!) Aaron was not very happy since it was already almost 11pm and we had been driving already for 3+ hours, not to mention that and he could have already been there if he had just gone the way he usually goes.. Ooops Sorry!

Well long story short, he jumped into my car and we made it to Moab at 1:30am.

It SNoWeD on Saturday and so there was only 1 race. Aaron came in second. Way to Go! (Not bad for the first race in 2 years)

Next day he was second again the first Moto and then the second he was in FiRsT until he had some equipment malfunctions!!!

It was fun to watch him and to meet some more of his family.

Roll It and Pull It and Mark it with V!

On Wednesday we had a Cousins Valentines Bake Day at Loralee's. She made the cuttest Aprons for the girls and Bakers hats for the boys.

We madeValentine Sugar Cookies and ate enough to make ourselves SICK!

The kids ding dong ditched the neighbors and left plates of cookies. They had such a great time even though there isn't one picture of Cyrie with a SMILE!

They made a Great Big Heart Shaped cookie for me with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to me.

Family-Friends-Chowder and CRAB LEGS!

On Tuesday Rob and I ran up north to take Aaron to dinner for his 18th Birthday! We went to Market Street and had Clam Chowder YUMMY! And shared Crab Stuffed Shrimp and Alaskan King Crab Legs DOUBLE YUMMY! We got to meet some more of Aaron's Family and more of his Friends.

His Grandma Paula had made 18 cupcakes! Cyrie helped him blow them out.

Cyrie LOVES Aaron!!!!

Hope you had a very Happy Birthday Aaron
