Inspirations

We have winner!

Jacob took first place in the "Digital Arts" for Inspirations

(he may or may not have been the only applicant)

I am proud of him though.  He loves to draw on the computer through "paint" and he wanted to enter in his drawing of his Buffalo Hunt.



Exploring

These boys are so lucky to have a dad to take them out exploring

I'm sure I was home cleaning up the food I had just made or doing laundry because what else do I do around here?  I guess they are lucky to have me too!

So while they were out they enjoyed climbing rocks and running around

 He may or may not have been climbing a rock that steep

 And you know I wasn't there when Jacob was climbing up this thing all by himself

 I'm sure I would have been yelling at him - to get down of course

My little Rocker

Ethan is always yelling at me to turn the music UP!

And lately when I look in the rear view mirror I see him totally rockin out to whatever is playing on the radio.  Well today I finally pulled out the camera to get a quick 5 second video - this kid cracks me up!

Caleb

So I gave Caleb a bath, and when I rubbed him down with lotion I got his hair too.  His little fro makes me laugh a little and it makes dan want to give him a buzz already.  I am thinking about possibly cutting it soon but I'm not ready to give him a big boy cut yet.

So I have a new vacume!  This little thing can pick up anything and everything on the floor that is in sight.  We have to be extra careful now.  We were bribing him with his binky in these videos and he was actually starting to get a little ticked at us, either that or he was just tired.



New Years Hike

Every New Years Day Dan likes to go for a hike to the top of Dry Mountain

He has a hard time finding people that will do it with him.  In fact last year he went all alone.  But he looks forward to it every year.

 West Mountain behind him

 His brother Matthew who just got home from his mission in August went up with him.  They've done this hike a few times together

 Plowing through the snow - miserable huh?

 The mountain burned almost 10 years ago

I love this picture with the dead pines and the beautiful view

 They took a sled up with them so they could slide down the mountain

 Mountain conquered - til next year!
