We are in Oklahoma again for another one of Scott's classes and we are counting our blessing today after a giant storm came through while we were at the movie theatre. We could hear the hail hitting the roof of the theatre and then feel the rain coming through too. The theatre stopped the movie and we watched the hail come down. After assessing the damage to the Scott's parents Cruiser (I wish we wouldn't have taken it) the theatre started all the movies up again only to be interrupted by a fire alarm. So we thought we were now in a tornado, but it was a false alarm. They started the movies up again only to be stopped when the Firemen showed up and made them close down due to roof damage. I'm so thankful we are safe and don't live in OK with all their crazy weather.

Springbreak in Moab
We spent spring break in Moab. We had so much fun hiking and wheeling. We hiked to Delicate Arch and up Moab Rim Trail. We are so lucky to have our pictures. Our new camera some how corrupted our memory card, but Scott saved the day and downloaded some software to fix it.
Annie and Mags were great hikers. Mags has improved so much from last year. The day after we hiked to Delicate Arch, Maggie saw a picture of the arch and was so excited because she had been there.
We took our cruiser and Ted's cruiser on Gemini Bridges trail. Annie was so nervous and wouldn't let anyone unbuckle. She is such a little mini mom. Mindy got pretty nervous too, she doesn't love wheeling.
Look at the view
Tusher Tunnel
We took the girls wheeling on Fins and Things. They thought it was great, Annie wasn't nervous anymore. Annie and Maggie jumped out of the cruiser with me and helped me direct Scott. If you look close you can see the dented bumper. That happened before I started navigating. ha ha

Swimming anyone
Last week it snowed around 7 or 8 inches, so the next day the girls went out to play. They were so excited to splash and play in the water. Crazy little girls.

Four Girls
I can't believe I have 4 kids. Wow. I don't feel old enough to have 4 kids. My girls are such sweet hearts and they love their new baby sister Eva. Annie is by far my biggest helper. She carries the baby and will rock her. Mags loves to hold her and give her kisses and Elizabeth loves her and calls her "my baby Eva" when she cries she says "she's hungry feed her". I love my girls. It is so amazing to have a new baby in the house.
I don't know how anyone gets 4 little kids to hold still. I took so many pictures and this was the best one. 
Eva meeting Otis and Ruby.
Eva is such a good baby, but she spits up all the time. It's horrible.

Scott's Cruiser
So not very many of my blogger readers will really appreciate this post, but a few will. But it is a long one so hold on. We have had many cruisers since we have been married and Scott sold my favorite FJ40 in 2002 because someone bid alot for it on Ebay. It was not his plan to sell it and he put it on Ebay just to see how much it would go for. I was very sad. Scott bought our most recent FJ40 way back in 2004 and it is not finished yet! AAHH Really this is partly my fault. But this cruiser will never be put on Ebay!!!! When we bought the cruiser it was completely rotten and Scott really only kept the frame. It isn't finished because we bought a house completely gutted the house, went to Oklahoma about 10 times for like a year in total, fixed our yard up, finished Scott's sisters basement, finished our basement, worked on friends cruisers and projects. He has been a little distracted and he is very very very anal (which is why I love him). Scott is amazing. He took the cruiser completely apart and cleans up every part (or buys a new one) and paints the part and puts it on the cruiser. He does everything. He cuts and welds medal and does all of the mechanical work himself and paints himself. He is amazing and I can't wait for the cruiser to be finished THIS SPRING! Here we come Moab!!!! Here are some pictures to show his progress.
April 2004 - Scott completely took the cruiser apart piece by piece and put it into boxes. We lived in an apartment without a garage, poor guy.
The entire cruiser was completely rotten. I don't think we have a picture of the cruiser all together.
This is seriously how dirty he was. I had to take a picture.
May 2004 - Scott bought this Cruiser just for the tub. It looks horrible, but was better than the first one.
September 2005 - Scott cut the bad body panels out of the tub of the white cruiser he bought.
September 2005 - Scott welded new body panels back in.
September 2005 - Scott welded a new floor and wheel wells in.
June 2006 - With the help of our good friend, Shawn, Scott finished all the body work.
August 2006 - Scott scraped, cleaned and painted the frame. Scott rebuilt his original 2F engine and mounted it on the frame.
March 2007 - Scott and Shawn painted the tub!!
June 2007 - The front dash and pedals and many other parts are installed.
January 2008 - The roll bars are painted and installed. Scott repaired the seats and is getting new seat covers upholstered.
February 2008 - Scott had the seats upholstered. He put the longer seats in back for our growing family. We can have 4 kids back there now!!
March 2009 - Scott sold the 2F engine and bought a 13bt diesel engine from Japan and had it shipped over. The trucker literally dropped it off in front of our house. It made the biggest bang. So Scott ended up getting a killer deal for it because the insurance company had to give us money and he bought the damaged engine back from them.
Dec 2009 - Scott took the engine apart and rebuilt it. He also painted every piece and made it look brand new!
Ellie had to get in this post about the cruiser!

Jan 2010 - Look at this cruiser. Scott put the hood and wheel skirts on so he can make sure they fit and mount more parts. Now he will take them off and do their body work and paint them. YEAH We are getting so close.
Look at that Diesel!
Ellie had to get in this post about the cruiser! Our cruiser should be done in a few months. We can't wait to take our girls four wheeling and listen to them scream!
