Easter Weekend Campout
We had a great family campout Friday and Saturday. Gram & Gramp Cluff, Aaron & Tammy, Josh & Tiffany, Jacob & Michelle and our family went out to the Arizona Strip for an over-night campout. Gram & Gramp Carr were able to join us for the Easter egg hunt on Saturday. It was nice to see them out and about, even though Gramp hasn't been feeling well and Gram is up and down also. This tradition was started last year and we held it on the Kaibab in the tall pine trees. This year the Kaibab had more snow than last year so the melt off left things too muddy. Josh found a cool sight and it worked out well. Lots of dirt for the grandkids to play in! Matt was on duty and couldn't come out with us on Friday, so @ 3:30 in the morning he was able to join us. We are glad daddy was able to make it! We had a great time, thanks to all the family who helped put this together and hope to see you all there again next year (and maybe more of you)!

Keeping Up with the Cluff's
Just a brief synopsis of what's going on with everyone.
Matt: Matt is going back to school and is currently working on his Bachelor's Degree in Business Management through the University of Phoenix. He has 1 1/2 years left. Oh ya, and he still has a full time job with UHP. We decided that he needed to get going on his education for a second career since he will be retiring from UHP in just 8 short years! If all goes as planned, he will finish up law school two years before retirement. Wish him/us luck! The hard part is still yet to come!
Aimee: Working hard keeping the family in line. As of yet, I am inbetween jobs for the first time in my life. I hope to start soon.....very soon! I love being at home and wish I could have the opportunity stay in the home, but finances say otherwise :'(.
Skyler: A Junior at PVHS and played JV Basketball this past year. He just returned from a spring break Catalina Cruise with a friend and his family (ya, spoiled) and will be attending the Swiss Allstar Basketball Camp in Zurich, Switzerland again for his third time. He's working hard in school and has a 3.3 GPA and will soon be employed (we hope!).
Caden: A sixth grader at Fossil Ridge. Just got himself a phone and thinks life is great. He is the king of texting! This is actually more for mom and dad than for him. We see it as a way to get a hold of the kids. Caden played football this past year and has an umblemished report card - a 4.0! I wish this counted for more...but it is only 6th grade (dang). But he's making good study habits now to take with him into high school.
Zackary: Never a dull moment! Playing baseball is the highlight of his life right now. He plays for the Marlins and so far has played right field and third base (really, two different worlds...) but loving every minute of it. Also excelling in school - testing in the top 10% nationally for 3rd grade for the Iowa Test. (way to go, Zack!)
Brigham: In Kindergarten and his little brain is like a sponge. He is learning to read and can read some easy books. Will be playing T-ball starting next month. He is very excited! He loves playing xbox and is excited that it's getting warmer outside so we can go camping more.
Cameron: Turned 3 in January and is officially "potty trained" (whoo-hoo!) This has to be mom's biggest accomplishment for the year so far! He even goes all night without wetting...so life is good in no-more-diaper-ville! He is a very active 3 year old who will not take a nap! He is the baby, and it shows.....

WOW!!! I am now a blogger!
Can't believe I am actually doing this! But I figure this is the easiest and most economical way to keep family and friends informed of what our family is up to (as long as I take the time to keep it updated:). Now that we live away from most of Matt's family and half of mine, this is a great way to stay in touch! Not to mention that I am horrible at taking time to scrapbook, write letters, make phone calls, email and every other form of contact with family and friends. And for all of you that view this, I appreciate you taking the time to catch up with my family. Life comes at us fast (especially with five boys - whew!) and things change constantly so I'll do my best to keep you current.
