Coloring Easter Eggs

Easter

The kids were so excited for the Easter Bunny to come and visit them! He spoiled them this year with lots of yummy treats and some pretty cool toys!! Aside from hunting for their baskets we have our own little indoor easter egg hunt. It was so cute to watch them race with such enthusiasm to see who could find the most eggs. Bailee was such a good big sister and even helped Brecken reach a few that were a little too high for him to get. Kids make these holidays so much fun!!!

We want to thank our sponsors and everyone that came out and supported us and helped us raise over $1800 to donate to the ALS Association. This was our first year and it was a huge success with 165 runners/walkers. We were very nervous about the turn out, the weather and having enough supplies but everything went way better than expected! It was neat to meet so many different people that have been affected by this awful disease and hear how they made it through. We hope our contribution will help to one day find a cure so that no one else has to die due to this terrible illness. Thanks again and we look forward to next year!!

Bailee's New 'Do'

After a lot of indecisiveness and discussion, Bailee decided that she wanted her hair short for Spring and Summer so we went last night and got it cut. She loves it and has been asking since the minute we left the salon when she can show, Grandma, Grandpa, Miss Amber, her aunts and uncles. I think she is adorable with short hair and I love how it makes her look younger because she is already growing up way too fast! She is so excited about her new hairdo!

Tubing in Pine Valley

Mom, Bailee and Brecken braving the steep hill at Pine Valley Reservoir. Trust me when I say it was a lot bigger than it looks and you definitely get some speed!
It was a little scary trying to hold on to 2 kids and making sure not to let go of them or land on them. YIKES!!


Dad with Bailee on his back. This is the only way that she would go down and even this took a lot of bribing.


Jason and I with our snowman that Bailee proudly named, Yipee.


Our 2 little munchkins with Yipee.


Brecken working hard at getting that snow packed in good and tight.




Dad and Brecken building our handsome snowman, Yipee. The reason I say handsome is because Bailee declared it was a boy due to the fact that it was constructed by Brecken and Jason. How funny are kids!




Brecken was a brave soul. He would go down any which way we mentioned. Belly first, head first, bum down backwards, laying down, etc. He conquered those hills like they were nothing to him. Bailee on the other hand was our timid one. She had to be given a pep talk before every run. But they both did great once they got the hang of it.

Oh what fun!!


WWWWEEEEEEEEEE!!!!



We had a great day up in Pine Valley and couldn't have asked for better weather. It was actually quite warm on Wednesday when we went up. We were definitely worn out by the time the day was over though. Treking up the hill of the reservoir was enough to make you want to pass out. There was a reason we only did that ride 5-6 times. We look forward to hopefully getting one more fun day in the snow before it is all melted and gone.
