New Bedding...

On our trip to Utah we of course made a pit stop at IKEA again. We bought some new kitchen gadgets, a lamp, and all new bedding. We were only going to buy new sheets, but we decided it was time to upgrade the entire bed set. The comforter we were using was one my parents bought me when I was in high school, somewhere around 10yrs ago. Yeah it was definitely time to upgrade. We got 4 new pillows, new sheets, and a new comforter. Jesse chose the green, because we both thought we needed a pop of color in our sea of black & white. Now he's not so sure about it, but I think it looks alright. Someday we will upgrade to a real bed frame, but for now this will make do.

It does exist...

For those of you that have never been to Idaho or Utah this will be a new condiment for you Fry Sauce. It's something Jesse always talks about. At first I didn't believe him. I've never heard of such a thing, but he was right. It does exist and any fast food joint in the area carries it just like a regular old ketchup packets except this one is in a container like a coffee creamer. Whenever we have fries Jesse makes his own version of homemade fry sauce, a mixture of ketchup & mayo (or miracle whip). Weird! Regional difference I guess.

Jesse play with us...

One of the videos of Uncle Jesse playing with the kids. He definitely got his work out while we were there. The other video is better, but it seems to be to long so I can't upload it here. : (

Easter Weekend...

Highlights from our Easter weekend.

Mountains in Wyoming & Utah...

 If you've never taken I-80 through Wyoming and into Utah I highly recommend it. The first bit of the trip can be a little boring or scary depending on the weather, but the last bit of the trip is just gorgeous. I drove for the last 100miles of our journey and Jesse slept, so I missed taking photos of the most impressive views. These are a few of the shots I did manage to take. Maybe next month I'll get a chance to take some more pictures on our way back to Utah. I just love how the skies cleared up. The blue sky and fluffy white clouds are lovely next to the mountains. I only wish the pictures did justice to the beauty of these giant peaks.

I finally figured out how to upload a video. Hurray! Check out a brief snippet from the end of the Ideal Father's show in March. Cody makes a cameo on the Atari Punk.

Wyoming...

On our journey to Utah for Easter we drove through the entire state of Wyoming on I-80. Cheyenne and Larmie are known for having some rough weather and the interstate is often closed through their due to white out conditions. I was honestly surprised it wasn't closed on Friday morning when we were driving on it. It went from a blowing of snow over the road to full on snowing and blowing, so bad it was white out. We stopped for a few minutes and then decided to continue on. Thank goodness Jesse was driving, because I would have given up and said we were staying in Wyoming for Easter. We were driving 40mph on a 75mph interstate. The scariest part was the crazy amount of people we saw driving with out their lights on. We even saw two semis hit each other, because they were both white and neither one had their lights on. Smart to be driving a big white truck with no light during a white out blizzard. Thankfully not far past Laramie the skies cleared up and we had smooth sailing from there.
