Logan having a soft heart for his little girls, offered last October to help Brittany and Brett move to Houston. The journey began on Saturday, January 3rd, we headed for Bountiful, Utah to retrieve their furniture. We spent the night with Mom and Dad, and early Sunday morning, Brett, Dad and Logan loaded up the truck and trailer for our journey south.
Now, I'm thinking that we are headed south and choose not to pack a coat, just a light hoody jacket. Shouldn't it be warmer when you head south? As we pass thru the corner of Colorado I wasn't surprised to see snow on the ground and as you can see in the photo below, not one sign of a snow storm.

Yes, we looked like Hillbillys and our maximum speed was 57 miles per hour, which translates into four days of travel from our home to Houston.
About an hour into New Mexico we hit snow and it doesn't stop, maximum speed 30 miles per hour and praying we stay on the road. We called it quits with tons of other travelers in Gallup
and took a hotel room to wait out the storm.

Snow covered in Gallup New Mexico.
Pcitures of Gallup for Robin. Not the ones I'm sure she really wanted to see, but we were thinking about you and your missionary.
Somewhere over Texas on I-10 - love those Texas clouds.
We spent three days in Houston, of course Logan built shelves under the stairs for April's food storage. Halli was excited and has now found a new secret hideout. Will April be able to keep the toys out of her new storage room?
El Paso Texas, okay, we are in Texas, the houses you see are in Mexico, it's quite interesting to note the distinction, it's really quite sad. I didn't get a picture of the border fence that runs along the road.
Sunset over Arizona as we head towards California. Sunday we left Fork Stockton Texas, somewhere on I-10 and drove for 23 hours home.
Click your heels three times and say "There's no place like home, there's no place like home".
Lunch with Halli at her school.

We're going to garden this year. We began, okay, Logan began about a month ago by dismantling part of the deck, which he used to make two raised planter beds, and using his handy dandy dump trailer brought in mulch, manure and topsoil. I want to can tomatoes this year, therefore all the tomato plants. 
Last week while we were walking around the yard, I about stepped on a bird and noticed she would move ahead a few feet and wait for us to follow and move a few more feet. Not being too dumb and using our super duper power of deductive reasoning, we realized she must have a nest close by, but we assumed it was on the slope slide of our back yard, hidden in the weeds and out of view.
Her nest is just feet from the planter beds, in the rocks, out in the open, exactly where Logan parks the trailers. (See the first picture, she's circled in red). To say the least, she was very uncomfortable with us working in the garden today. She eventually settled down, but if we walked directly towards her nest she would cry out and try to lead us away. I hope she gets use to us, as I was reading about the bird, (Killdeer) the eggs hatch in about 28 days and nest for a month afterwards. 
The one time we didn't bring our own snorkeling gear and we knew the our resort had snorkeling right outside our front door....So we had to rent and it's expensive.
