Sinks Canyon and Lander

Last weekend we went to Lander to find a place to live. We found a cute house with 2 acres. It is Jakes dream to own horses one day and he can now. We like it there. While we were there we visited sinks canyon. It is so beautiful up there. The river sinks down into the ground and about a half a mile down the road it comes back up and continues down the mountain. The kids were pretty good. It was a quick trip up and back and a lot of time in the car looking at houses. I think the kids were ready to come home. Our house here in Utah is still in the process of getting sold. We were going to close on the 1st of April but then they needed an extension. It still looks like we can close on it but it will take a little longer than we thought.

The kids liked watching the big windmills on the way home.

Tagg looks happy but it was a long ride home for him.

Logan and Smithfield

A week or so ago me and the kids decided to go visit great grandpa and grandma Stephens, and Aunt Chris and Uncle Rick. We had so much fun up there. G and G let us stay with them. The kids loved it when Grandpa and Grandma would read to them. We stoped by Rick and Chris's for a few min it was alot of fun. My cousins baby was there and the kids loved playing with her. Then we went up to Stay with G and G. It was so much fun. The next day we went to visit Jason and NiCole. It was fun to see Kate and Tagg play with Cayden and Lexi. Kate still asks about him. Kate got to show G and G how good she is at riding her bike. Then Grandpa and Grandma took us to the little zoo they have in Logan. It was really cold but Kate liked seeing the animals.

BBQ, Fires, and Family

A couple of weeks ago we had a BBQ down in the backyard of Jakes Parents house. It was a little cold but alot of fun. We roasted hot dogs and had marshmallows but after 3 hot dogs nobody felt like marshmallows. Harvey and kate loved playing out side and running around and Tagg just played with uncle Creeds soccer ball. Jenine and Brandon and left there Christmas tree in the back yard so Kate decided that we should put that on the fire. (She had decided earlier that she was the person that put twigs on the fire to keep it going). We got everything and everybody back so that nobody got hurt. Then Jake threw it on the fire. It went up fast and big. I looked around to find Kate and she was running around the corner of the yard with her hands on her ears!! She did not like that, and when it was done burning she told dad to move the trunk out so it would not do that again. It was fun!!

Baby Bears!!!

Kate and Tagg got to hold a baby bear at the Sportsman Expo on Saturday!!! They loved it....you can't tell by this pictures but they had fun. That is a real live baby bear Kate is holding. It was so cute and Kate says it was such a nice bear and that is was pretty.
The sportsman expo was busy but fun. Jake got to see his idol Cameron Hanes. He is a hunting running fool jut like Jake. Joe and Jake listened to the seminar that Cameron gave. Then we walked through the million and two people to look at all the crap people had. It was fun. Then we came home and relaxed. We all ways love the weekends that daddy is home.

I'm so glad when daddy comes home

We went to Cabelas to day. The kids just love it there. Tagg has so much fun running around looking at everything there is to see. Kate always loves the animals. We love going up there to look at everything. We spent about 2 hours up there looking. The kids just love spending time with their dad at a fun store like Cabelas.

Glad as I can be

Kate and Jake got to to for a fun little hike in the west dessert. She loved it. Jake decided he wanted to take the dogs out for some exercise. The day was beautiful and they ran into some birds and saw a bunch of antelope right next to the truck. Josh went with them and took his dogs as well. Kate hiked so much with them and did a great job keeping up.

I wrap my arms around his neck!!

Kate and Dad got to make an awesome fort!!! Kate loved every minute of it. They got a blanket and put it over the chair and couch and slept underneath it. She loves being with her daddy so much. He just makes her day with everything he does. He is such a good daddy to her and Tagg.

Can't wait for summer

The kids have really been wanting to go outside so bad. Cami and I have been taking them to play in the yard the last couple of days. It has been so fun. They just love playing. Sometimes there is fighting, sometimes there is screaming, sometimes there is playing and always there is fun!!! Kellen and Kate just love to play with each other. Tagg is just starting to venture out and play and Karalynn just loves to sit with the moms and play with her toys.
