A get - a - way day!

We decided to pack a picnic, get in the car, and just see where the day took us.

This is where we ended up--
Lake Canyon Lake on the Strawberry River Road.










Tom was trying to teach Kolby and Kevin how to skip rocks.... they had a lot of fun! Doesn't every little boy love throwing rocks into the water?









We saw some wild mountain goats and their babies.





Here are just a few more pictures of our day.

Angel

We got a new kitten! We love our Angel. She really is the sweetest kitten we have ever had!

Branding Grandpa's Cows

The boy's had quite the experience this year. Kolby was a good helper and Kevin was scared for the baby calves. Micah was unsure about all of it.
It was a good day to brand. The weather was nice, not too hot- not too cold. I got to stay indoors and help cook lunch!!! Good day!

Sunday Afternoon

We just got home from church when we decided it was a nice day to snap a few pictures. Micah was sound asleep, that's why he is missing.

Kolbys First Field Trip

Should I be worried??? Just kidding. Kolby is such a little sweetheart. Although, he is Tommy's child....lol. When I talked to Kolby about this I said, "hey I saw you holding a little girls' hand today." And he said..."MOM...her name is Alyviah and she was holding mine!!"

Kolby's class is full of girls. There are only three boys.


Kevin was really glad that he got to go on the field trip. He wants to be big just like Kolby. They visited the Roosevelt airport, ate lunch and played at the park, and then went to the fire station.


I love this picture. I only wish that it was centered a little better. It was just one of those hurry and snap kind of photos and I was lucky enough to capture how much they really do love each other.

Happy Easter

The boys got matching Easter outfits! I feel terrible that I didn't take more pictures than this! What a blessing it was to have conference be on Easter Sunday this year. We enjoyed our day with family.

Happy Birthday Micah

Wow Micah is now one year old!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone! I love how he devoured his cake!! He is such a fun, energetic baby!!

Christmas 2009

We had such a great Christmas this year.

Kolby is 5, Kevin is 3, and Micah is 10 months.
The boys got spoiled with small 4-wheelers from Santa. They really are going to enjoy those this summer. We had a relaxing christmas season this year and feel so blessed.




Grandma Laura has a tradition of getting the boys pajamas for Christmas Eve. I loved Micahs. Especailly the Toot, Toot.!



Tom was excited about his shotgun this year.

Many Reasons to Give Thanks

Thanksgiving day this year has been a humbling day. Thinking there are so many reasons to give thanks and I have so many blessings to count. I have 3 beautiful healthy children, a wonderful husband who treats me so good..(and he is sooo good lookin'). MOM and DAD. They raised me right and taught me to be a good person who has values and morals. (I am sure I was one of their biggest challenges in life.):) So grateful for health and strength. Grateful for the blessing of womanhood and to have children. Loving grandparents who are all role models to me in some way. Sisters. (what more can I say?) A wild hunting, fishing, best uncle in the world red headed brother who yes, is growing up and learning to be responsible and a hardworker. yay! The gift I have been given of Music and for my hands. Sugar cookies. The blessings of the Temple. A beautiful home to raise my family. Utah and the Uintah Basin. Tennessee and the experiences that we had there. Friends, who have become family. Wonderful in-laws who have welcomed me into their family and been so good to me (All 90 or so of them). Most of all my Savior who lived a perfect life and was the perfect example who lived and died for me so that I might live again someday and return to be with my Father in Heaven for eternity.

There are so many more reasons to be grateful this day, but these are among the most important in my life.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with the Winterton family.

Halloween

Kolby had a halloween party at his preschool. I decided that we were just going to have a little family party and not really celebrate or go trick or treating. So this was the only dressing up we were going to do. Kolby was excited to be Spiderman and was a good sport waking up early to put the makeup on his face. As soon as he got home from school he had decided that dressing up was not that much fun. lol. Kevin hated his pumkin costume and only lasted about 2 minutes in it. I am really ok that they don't like to dress up. Halloween is my least favorite holiday.

Watch me grow!

7 months and crawling!




A little pouty face about being in his seat watching Kolbys soccer game
