My new swing set!!

My brother in law built me this awesome swing set!! He is so good! We went to the lumber store and got the boards and hardware and he went to town. He cut and built this in about 6 hours, on his vacation!!!! I really appreciate it though!! My kids love it already!!!

Kate the Princess

Kate just had her first dance recital!!! She did so great and was so cute!!! They did two dances the swan lake dance and the teddy bear dance. She loves to dance and learn new things. Kate is such a wonderful little girl and we are so proud of her. She was really excited to be in her sparkling dress and little crown. She absolutely loved it!!

She has 3 other little girls in her class. They all did so well. We are going to put her in dance next year!! We love you Kate. Good job on your recital.

Yellowstone Park

The mountains coming into the park

Buffalo

Way to close

Even closer

A few weeks ago Jake and the kids and me wanted to drive through Yellowstone park!! It wasn't open all the way through quite yet!! It was so beautiful. I haven't been there in a long time. The kids loved all the animals. We saw elk and deer on our way into the park and tons of buffalo while we were in the park. We can't wait to go back there when it is warm and there is not 15 feet of snow on the ground!

Sprinklers!!

It has been so warm here and the kids have been begging to run in the sprinklers!!! I finally decided it was warm enough for swimsuits and water!! The kids had a blast! Even Tagg, who last year hated when the sprinklers touched him, had a great time playing! They would both fun through with their heads turned and eyes closed and would run into each other!! It is nice to have a nice yard the kids can play in!! I just love it here!!

Kites

The kids got some kites for Easter so we decided to fly them in our new house!! The kids loved it for about two seconds then Tagg did not like it so much. He kept crying because the kite was pulling him around the pasture!! He did not realize that you just need to stand still. Kate liked it until her line got tangled on the fence!! It was a lot of fun while it lasted!!! I think the wind was just a little to strong!!

Kates Party!!

While we were down in Rawlins for Kates recital we decided to do a quick b-day party for Kate! She was so excited to do a party!! We went to the park and had it at the park. It was so nice and sunny all day a little windy but sunny. Then about 10 min before the party the clouds rolled in and it started to rain. It didn't rain for very long but it was a little chilly. But of course the kids did not even care. They went out and played and they all ended up with wet bums from the rain on the slides. But it was a lot fun to see Kate with some of her friends.
