Dead Bird Soup

Yesterday Carter and I were playing one of his favorite games...restaurant. He was being "the sir" and asked what I wanted. I asked first for a salad and diet coke but he was "out of that". When I asked what he had, he offered spaghetti and bird soup. I asked what the bird soup was. He told he it was "dead birds mommy, but we take the feathers off." When I told him I'd take the dead bird soup, he reminded me that "it's bad mommy, it's dead birds." After further questioning, we determined that the soup was a mix of dead eagles and vultures. While the feathers are taken off, the beaks are left in the soup. So, if you're coming to our house for dinner, prepare for some dead bird soup complete with beaks. And please, whatever you do, don't tell the the federal government about our Eagle soup.

Mother's Day

What a great weekend! For Mother's Day we went camping at Snow Canyon. Jeff got off work early on Friday and we arrived in St. George just in time to have dinner at In and Out. I had the hungry crankies and without meaning to, ate Jeff's double double. The sad deal about the whole thing is this. I was bugged Jeff bought me a double. He was sad I was eating his double instead of the single he ordered for me but we were both trying not to complain. When I was done eating and the crankies had gone away, Jeff looked at me at with the saddest face and said, "you ate my burger." I felt so bad! Oh well, I had my first double double and he got to go back on the way out of town on Sunday for his!

While we were there we saw a lot of ants, chased some lizards and spotted 3 snakes! Okay, one was in an aquarium, but the other two were outside. Pretty much, the snake was the highlight for Carter. We also did a few short hikes, (it takes a long time to go a mile when you stop to look at every grain of sand!) It was a great trip and I'm so grateful for my cute camping boys! I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day than to spend the weekend outside with my favorite people.
