Minnie Mouse

Dylan got to officially meet Minnie Mouse today. She was already standing at her designated spot so he couldn't tackle her today. Yesterday he seriously tackled her into the garbage can. I'm sure Minnie was telling all of her chums about the little boy who gave her a giant bruise yesterday. Dylan has to show every character his map. He insists on carrying a map with him on this trip. If he asks you to hold it you can NOT fold it. He gets really upset if it gets folded. Just notice he shoes everyone the map. Its kind of funny. Anyway here are a few more videos of our last day :(. It is a beautiful 75 degrees today. I heard it is 5 at home. I think we may just stay her a few more days....until spring maybe?

Its a small world ride

Here is a cute boy on Small World. The two big boys were not real happy about this ride but it is only open on Monday and then closes until they take all the Christmas stuff down. Dylan really really liked it. We just came in from a full day at the park again. They boys just got their swim suits on and are headed to the hot tub. We played in California Adventure today and were able to do the Toy Story 3-D ride. One of my favorites for sure. The Mullholland Madness is closed!! Keller was so mad. That is a bummer because it is one of our favorites for sure. Jaren gave Sawyer the okay to ride California Screammer by himself!!! He watched him in line the whole time. I was on the merry go round with Dylan Ball. Keller says he wants to go but not in the dark! Well I am pooped for sure. Hopefully the video worked. Hopefully more to come tomorrow. Have a great night. Love ya all!

Big Thunder Mountain

Just wanted to see if this would work. Dylan's first trip on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Leave your feedback please. HAHAHA

Hot Momma!

For my mom's birthday on the 28th of December we all went to Mountain River Ranch. I had never been there. You ride a sleigh (wagon) pulled by horses to a lodge and have prim rib or pork tenderloin. It was a bit chilly and of course Jaren was
sick :(. But we had a pretty good time. My camera battery was dead so I only got to snap a couple of photos. My mom even got to drive the team of horses pulling the wagon. Not too much of a stretch for a rodeo girl but still she thought it was great. I dont care who you are we all could agree that I have the hottest momma around! She didnt look this cute just because it was her birthday, she is this cute everyday! I hope you had a fun day and night mom. I know I sure did. Love ya!

Pig Wrestlin at the county Fair!

Yep we are red necks! If you ever question this fact come to St. Anthony. Our national past time is a demolition derby and boy they take them seriously up here. The next best thing to that is pig wrestling! This was my first pig wrestling and I was impressed by the community support. The bleachers were packed! They started with little kids and went up from there. Sawyers BFF Carly Hikida (Im not sure if Im spelling it right) had called a few days before and asked if he would wrestle a pig with her and a couple others. Being a true St. Anthonyion he was all over it! They didnt win but sure had fun getting all muddy. He had fun and thats all that matters.

Keller and Kaleb

In honor of Kaleb Parry's birthday today here are a few pics of Keller and him. For anyone new to our life, Kaleb is Keller's best bud from school. They are going to grow up together and build cabins in the wood together (separate cabins of course) for them and their dogs and share a snowmachine so they can go to town every once in a while. (this is of course after Keller and Ryker are finished being roommates at college) Good now I have all that out! Kaleb came with us to a barrel racing up in Victor. Kaleb told us how he was part owner on a horse at his grandparents and how he loves horses. At first he was a little scared of Lucy. But after a second he thought it was pretty cool. He really enjoyed riding her. I noticed that he kept sneezing. I texted his mom and asked if he was allergic and she said she didn't think so but he hadn't really been around horses. On the way home he said that his eyes were burning. When I looked back his eyes were swollen and bloodshot! Poor kid. Once I got his hands clean and face washed he did much better. A few weeks after this he went to his grandparents and the same thing happened. Poor kid all he wants to do is ride horses! So Kaleb we are so glad you and Keller are friends. Happy Birthday.

Union Falls

For the past 2 years I have had the chance to hike up to Union Falls. I believe it is inside Yellowstone Park (don't quote me). When I have gone it has been with the Michelson family. It is around 16 miles round trip. It is a pretty good hike. Takes the whole day and you are pooped for sure on the ride home. This year Sawyer said he wanted to go. A few days before we left he had to get a retainer in his mouth and it hurt so bad he had not been able to eat very well for a couple of days. But he insisted on going. The day we went on the hike he was doing much better but I had worried about him no the less. He had heard that there was swimming involved so he for sure wanted to go. He was such a trooper. He hiked the whole thing and really not until the end did he start to poop out. I think he spent a little too much time in the water. I love the picture of him jumping off the big rocks. He looks like a little anorexic boy. And as always Hill And Son Excavating number one fan. What a cute fun boy. He rocks for sure. On the way home he fell asleep about 30 seconds after I started the car. Some of the other pics are of the falls (the picture just doesn't do it justice) Me and Sawyer, and me and Leslie. It really was a fun trip. Hopefully Jaren will come and go with next year.

Bear Gulch Hike

Hello all!!! (if anyone even checks my blog anymore) Here are a few pics of a hike we were on durning potatoe harvest. Yes I said potatoe harvest. It was Jaren and I and our boys, my friends Cathy Michelson and her daughter Crystal and her friend. As well as my friend Pia Rydalch and her son Triston and daughter Nina (I think that is her name) Anyway we all met at Bear Gulch by the old train tunnel that has fallen in to Keller's dismay! Oh the drama! Anyway we hiked for an hour or so until the kids had had enough and then went down to the frost top. You really cant make a trip up to Ashton country without a good ol stop at the frost top. It would be unAmerican. It would be like Heather coming to Rexburg and not stopping at Millhollow for yogurt. Aint that right Heather?!?! It was a fun day and I thought the kids all looked too cute. They had fun.
