Sand Dunes

Logan kept calling the motorhome "the bus, lets go on the bus"

We like to take short trips once in a while and in April we did a little 2 day trip to the sand dunes. We are members of Toyshare where we can use our points for 4-wheelers, motorhomes, waverunners, snowmobiles and more-so far it has been a wonderful experience. Since I am 6 months pregnant I couldn't be the daredevil I usually am so I layed low and just hung out. Logan had a blast and if asked he would say "I went on a big hill." Our buddies the Burghardts also went with us and Nathan and Logan got pretty dirty in the sand-the first thing we did when we got home was bath them and clean them up.

It was Jazz night at the Belchers and everyone brought their boys...

1st Movie

Logan sat through his first movie Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who- He did great especially with his bucket of popcorn. His first movie as a baby was Mission Impossible III and he slept through the action packed movie which was amazing.

Crane Expo in Vegas

Week of March 15. This big event takes place every 3 years in the U.S. the other years it is in Asia and Europe so we were so excited to find out it would be in Vegas. We booked our hotels a year in advance-talk about planning (so unlike the Belchers) and here we are amidst this crazy convention. The machines were gigantic and we have one of our new cranes displayed-we were so proud. I was so lucky that I got to entertain the Wennsheimers our good friends from Michigan so I got to have all the fun-day spa, shopping and the Beatles "Love" show which was amazing.

Vendors who wanted our business took us out so we never had to pay for a meal-the first night I came to town was Wednesday and we went to the Wynn's upidy Tableau resturant for dinner. I had some surf and turf and then the coolest dessert ever-a sampling of pies-I thought it was so cool because they came out as mini pies. Then the next night we had Benihana's and I feel like I should become a vegetarian because I don't think I can eat another steak. But of course when we go to a famous Steak House the next night what do I order but another Filet-yikes! So that night I wasn't feeling so hot or at least the little baby in my belly was like WHAT ARE YOU EATING??? So many rich flavors and sauces...it got to me and I was down for the count Friday night and all of Saturday-so I flew home instead of driving home with Paul. My doctor said it was all the unusual food I had been eating-oops. Besides the bad ending we had a fabulous time-I missed out on seeing everyone on Saturday (we had booked out a flight from Salt Lake to Vegas with employees and customers to go for the day-)we all had matching shirts and all.
