RISK with Aaron and Alex

When mom goes out of town, dad allows a "No rules" night.  This is what they chose for dinner.

Cub scout outing

Silly girls, Taryn and Melody

Sleepy baby got into Corbin's bed to take a nap.

That hair.

Once in a while, Corbin vacuums without prompting.

The littles

I'm thinking Corbin got the raw deal this time (can you see the string attached to his balance bike?)

Best buddies

MJ loves being one of the girls

Exploring

Playing RISK outside with Reed, right before I dominated him.

They made $5.00!  They sold a small spider, a lady bug, and a couple of roly pollies.  Never underestimate the ingenuity of a child.

Many hands make light work

Thursdays are my favorite day of the week (next to hiking Wednesdays).  I love these women, and I feel so grateful to have friends I can rely on.  

Here we are digging up crab grass in Shasta's yard- we even have little helpers.

They helped me sand and restain my playset!

Easter

Bell Canyon Hike

Hiking is my happy place and we tried to go once a week in the summer.  So prepare yourself for a lot of hiking pics....

Everything is better with your best friend

Heather, her kids, Lindi's kids, and my family (minus Reed who wasn't there)

None of these boys were mine, but I thought it was a cool pic of some of Reed's best friends.  We were bummed he wasn't there.

Spring Break

We had a pretty good spring break.  The first part of the week was cold and rainy, so the kids convinced me to take them to the McDonalds playplace.  It was gross, but they ended up playing for over 1.5 hours!  Reed spent most of the time reading his new librarby books we had just gotten.  I actually ran into an old friend, Sally Webb, from my stake back home (she had moved out to Utah years ago).  It was really fun catching up with her.

The second half of the week, we spent a lot of time with my sisters-in-law and cousins.  Our kids were in heaven.  We made it to Farm Country and Thanksgiving Point Gardens.  Another day, we went on a fun hike with some friends.

There were some chickens on the loose which was fun (probably not for them, but the kids had a blast).

Corbin, Colin, Oma

I took this picture of Reed's friends (Alex, Lincoln, Aaron) and I thought it turned out really cool.  Reed had spent that day skiing with Oma and some cousins, so he missed out on our hike.  The scenery was amazing!
