April Happenings

 If I don't get this post done now I'm really going to be behind!  April was definitely busier than the past months.  We were slowly ramping up to May, which is warp speed.  We started the month off right by going to our favorite mexican food place.  So so good.  Most of the time Sage doesn't eat much.  But sometimes she eats more than the rest of us.  She pretty much downed one of those huge drinks on her own.  Which of course meant she didn't eat anything.  

We went Jeeping after Sage's dance competition in Tooele.  Zack to his Jeep on a trail for the first time, and loved every second of it.  We were having a great time until Chester decided to roll in a dead body or something.  Suddenly there was a horrible smell, and it was coming from him.  Like dead body horrible.  Luckily for Jake and I, we were able to send him with Zack and Kate.  He smelled so bad that they drove with windows down and masks on.  Earlier that morning Jake finally reached his limit with the piano being played loudly at horrible times.  I've tried to talk him into getting a keyboard for a while, but finally he couldn't take it anymore.  He told Kate to find one on KSL.  Which she did.  So they arranged to go look at it in Holladay on their way home.  Well, the keyboard was located at a serious mansion.  Like it took them a second to find the road it was hidden so well.  They pulled up to a huge house with a yard that included ponds, fountains, and swans.  Zack and Kate were in Jeeping clothes (not nice in case you were wondering) and also smelled horrible because Chester's smell had seeped into their clothing.  I'm sure the keyboard person wondered at the rednecks from Heber.  I'm so grateful he'll never know who I am!  When we got Chester home we had to go through the process of cleaning Chester.  Let's just say there was some yelling.  It took multiple washes to finally get the smell out.  I've never been so glad to go to work in my life.  Pretty sure I should have paid IHC that night!

In other news, the trailer is done!!  Well, done enough to use.  The first time we took it out on a drive someone stopped us at a light and asked Jake if he built it and told him how awesome it was.  Made his year.  Jake and Zack took it on the maiden voyage to a bike race in Hurricane.  They had a great time with it and called it a success!  I'm sure Jake will eventually do a post all about the trailer.  Let's just say he's already figuring out how he can start a company building trailers.  Heaven help us all.  

I made Zack put his arms up on this little climbing rock.  He loves me.

On Easter Sage brought out a ton of gifts for each of us.  They were so well thought out.  Of course each gift included one of her amazing cards.  It was the best!

First time out with the trailer.
