Happy Fathers Day!!

I just want to tell all the men in my life how much I love and appreciate them!!! They have all given me so much!! They are kind caring and hard workers!!! I just want to tell you a little about why I love each of these men!!


Linds- Jake is such a wonderful husband and the best dad! He works so hard to give me and the kids anything that we need or want. He is so kind and sweet. Jake thinks of everybody but himself and is always willing to do anything for me. I love him so much and still to this day think I am the luckiest women in the world to be married to him!!!
Kate-I love hiking up the mountain with daddy, and with my family too
Tagg-I like to play wrestle with daddy


Linds-My dad is such a wonderful person. He never thinks of himself and is always thinking about who needs what around him. He gets along with just about everyone. I got my good looks from him! He loves to learn new things and is really good at anything he tries! He is so good to the grand kids and they just love him.
Kate-I love going on a walk with papa and think he is a good finder.
Tagg-I like ridding on papa's shoulders


Linds- Flint is so kind and has always accepted me from the day I married jake. He is funny and knows just about everything that you can ask him, including why tire sales are down in Russia!!! (J/K) He is loving to me and my kids. I love that he is willing to teach me about anything I ask him. Jake learned how to work hard from Flint. Jake has already said that when the kids get older there punishments are going to be post holes!!!
Kate-I like eating ice cream with him
Tagg-I like playing with him

Tagg oh boy!!

Tagg does not pee his pants any more!! To bad he does not pee in the toilet either!! I can't get him to go inside. If he is outside he does it if he is inside he will run outside and do it off the porch!! He is just so cute though!!!

Why we love living here!!!

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!
