Ride 'em Cowboy!!

Our friends invited us to spend the afternoon at their cattle ranch -- which was AWESOME!!

The kids got to ride horses, meet the cows up close and personal, and eat some chow.


And no, although our friends do sell their calves, we are NOT currently in the market to adding one to our own little farm.

Chickens!!










Our big "surprise" project this Spring is Chickens. For Easter the kids got chickens, and Kelly has been busying himself with the coop. The kids really love watching the chicks lose their downy fluff and grow feathers. They change very quickly and it's been a fun education.

SPRING!!













We love Spring and all the fun activities that come with it! We visited Thanksgiving Point one day after Kindergarten to see the baby animals, see the beautiful flowers, get sprinkled with some rain, and run in the sun!

Ski Heaven!


This year has begun with the initiation of two new skiers: Katie and Josh. We didn't plan it that way . . . it just sort of happened. We wanted to teach Katie to ski this year, but everytime we got the skis out Josh would get excited and shout, "I go skiing, too! I wanna go!" So, we took a chance and took him -- he did great! All the kids have been fantastic. Courtney and Kenzie are little speed demons, so it's hard to get pics of them, and Katie and Josh have tackled the slopes like they've been doing it their whole life. Being together up in the mountains and soaking up the sun is absolutely amazing. Life is sooo good -- we just watch out for those snow snakes!
