I have had a whirlwind of a week and it's only just beginning! Ali gets baptized this Saturday and she's upset cause there is not a white dress to be found in all of Vernal. She got a brown one... I know- not traditional at all, but it's darling anyway. Gage has been getting in a bit of trouble, and when I FINALLY got it out of him- what's been going on- he cried. It broke my heart, but there are a bunch of other boys at the school that make fun of his name. One always tells him that he "puts the GAY in Gage..." Hilarious. They've kind of bullied him and he gets upset, but he's never told on any one of them, yet if he fights back, they all gang up on him and tell the teacher it was Gage's fault. Poor kid can't win for losing. So, do I bear my "Mom-Claws" and go talk to the principal? Is it fair that MY child is getting bullied? I don't know. I do know that my kids are not always innocent- I'm not blind to the fact that they've caused problems too...but I don't want Gage to feel as badly as I could tell he felt today. Why are these new generations so much meaner?
So, needless to say- I've been a little slow with the remainder of our snowbird trip. We really did have a good time. I get a little stressed with the kids, cause they don't even pretend to get along. I worry they may never like each other at all! But here are a few more pictures from our trip.

| What do you call these? |

| On the top of the world looking down on creation... |
 |
| That's actually Alta below us...I can't believe how HIGH we are! |
 |
| I think this was a first for us... still seeing wild flowers so late in the season! |
 |
| And this is the new ride... I LOVE IT! It's smaller than the old one, gets a little better gas mileage and is faster and sportier to drive. It's so much fun! Now to NAME it... |

This is Cam on Mom's blog- I tried to call, I hurt for my little Gage. I'd like to meet these boys and give them a piece of my mind. NO ONE hurts my NEPHEW! I remember being picked on for my patch, my glasses, the fact that I weighed 30 pounds less than everyone else (ha not really but you get it) and it isn't easy being the one getting the brunt of everyone's attitude. I am sure you feel the same way but I wish there was something I could do to make it all better. Honestly, if it were me in your position I would talk to the principle and his teacher tell them what he told you and ask them to keep an eye out. Bullying is HUGE right now and things need to get better or everyone is going to end up putting their kids in home school or private school and they'll be out of a job. haha
Love you and tell Gage that his name is awesome- it's a car part haha
oh I thought I was logged onto mom's blog... huh cool
That is friggin' jacked up!!! You should totally call the principal. That is a joke and he should not have to feel that way at school! Oh, I dread those days. Seriously what are kids that age even using the word "gay" for. How mean. I am sorry Steph. I am sure it was SO heartbreaking for you. Well on a lighter note, I love your car, love the color!
