A Visit to Jessica's

 

Wow!! Never a dull moment at the Schmutz house!! Between wedding plans and Jeff still dating, Jordanne and three of her friends got to drive up to Rexburg, Idaho in order to participate in EFY!!! They dropped Jillian off at Jessica's house, so she could spend the week with her. Jordanne and her friends are undoubtedly having a wonderful time. Jillian is managing her time well with Jessica. She stays up late talking to Jessica or reading. Jillian has actually been rather lazy this week! She slept in until at least 10:30 two or three of the days since she's been there. She spends her time watching movies, playing the Wii and reading! Jessica, Jillian, and Colby went hiking up at Brighton. It has been a wonderful vacation! How will Jillian adjust when she gets back? On Wednesday, Jessica took the young women's to a Bee's game and of course Jillian went with them!

EFY!!!!!-Jillian's Trip

Jillian just got back from Rexburg, Idaho! She was up there going to EFY with all of her friends while Jocee stayed with their Aunt Gwen! All in all I think they had a great time doing their own seperate things.

Toroweep

On April 6, Jeff took Jillian, Jordanne, and the Wilcox's down to Toroweep to see the Grand Canyon. Talk about HUGE!!! They had an awesome time!! Jillian and Jordanne stole the camera and were enjoying themselves by leaping across the rocks and doing poses in the air. On the way home, they took the road going back through Colorado City and Hilldale. After making a wrong turn, they got pulled over by the cops, you would never see 6 people(the ones who weren't wearing them) put seatbelts on so fast! The cops made up a story about a fire on the Colorado Strip, which couldn't be true as there was no smoke from out there.

D.J.'s Trip to Mexico

D.J. recently had the opportunity to go to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico with his friend Charles Dixon and his parents. They left on Saturday, January 19 and got back late January 26. He said he had fun parasailing, and snorkling, among other activities. "It's really different from our family because we didn't eat out of an ice chest and ate out every night!" He couldn't believe all the neat sights down there. He even got to watch some bull fighting where the bull dies at the end, unless the bull wins! They had three miles of zip lines through the rain forests. There was also lots and lots of cerveza!
