oH ThE FrUsTrAtIoN!!!!!

Today Trevor and Cole rode thier bikes to school. Well when I picked Cole up from school, I grabbed his scooter, and Trevor's bike was right there with it. So this afternoon, I get a phone call from a friend saying that Trev's bike was stolen and that she would bring him home. I called the school telling them that his bike was stolen and another one of his friends saw the kid who took it. I told them his first name, his grade and that his hair was blonde. I ask if there's any way that they could give me his # so I could call his parents and take care of it the easy way. "No" was the response I got and was told to call the Chief of Police. So I call the City of Enoch, and the chief was gone for the day. But I could call dispatch and they could send an officer out to start the report and figure out where the bike went. So is it really worth all of this work? Why can't the school get more involved when this happened on school grounds? Am I worrying about something stupid? How do you "accuse" a little kid of stealing if 'YOU' didn't see him but someone else claims he took it? And how do I do nothing when Trevor is the one who is suffering the loss?

RED CLIFFS 2009

It's spring break here in good ole Iron County, and Josh's cousin Ali and her family came down and spent a few nights with us. So we needed to find something to entertain ourselves for a whole day, so we went to Red Cliffs. I had never been there,
and Josh hasn't been there since he was little. It was a BLAST!!This tree was huge, and kinda scary to climb on. It luckily didn't break when I got up there. Awesome background though.
Silver Reef look out.
The kids loved to climb around on the rocks and in the caves.
Another huge fallen tree.
Yucky caterpillars were EVERYWHERE!
We were all exhausted by the end of the day. So we came back and made dinner. Dutch oven potatoes, marinade chicken, salad, and Big Cookies from the bread store. Then I crashed while Josh, Mike and Ali watched Road Hogs. It was a fun middle of the week adventure!
