What Country Folks do...

We went to the shooting range for some target practice and safety lessons. Dylan is really good at following the rules and is surprisingly a good shot. Rylee likes to use Dylan's BB gun.

Here are a couple of other shots I got while we were out there. It was a very pretty day and it's always nice to spend time together as a family.

The county fair...

This is a big deal where we live. The fair goes on for over a week and there are lots of things that you can do. Dylan really liked smashing this car with the sledgehammer. This was a fundraiser they were doing for a little girl that has cancer. People paid for a chance to beat up a car and in return this little girl was being helped to "Smash her cancer".

4-H is a big part of the fair. We went to check out some of the animals while we were there. Look at this cute little pig!

Rylee wasn't very happy with the smell but he sure liked looking at and petting the animals.

There were also some inflatibles that kids got to do. This one was their favorite. They are attached to a bungee strap and they have to see who can get their eraser attached to the velcro the furthest down the line before they are snapped back.

Mini Vacation

We needed a vacation! We were only able to do a long weekend so we had to stick close by. We decided on a trip to the Denver Zoo and The Downtown Aquarium. It was a good choice! We all enjoyed our time away.

Monster Trucks and Family 2/2013

We went to Monster Jam on a recent trip to see Jordan and our family. The kids loved it! It was so so loud but fun to see! Everyone had their own favorite. Everyone went in already wanting to see grave digger, who is very popular but he broke down very early in the show. Rylee liked the Mohawk truck and I think Kirk and Dylan both liked the dog one the best. Best of all it was nice to spend family time together! While we were in Salt Lake we spent some time with family! My aunts and girl cousins all get together for an aunts birthday. This happened to be one of those gathering times. so even though it was for a very short time it was good to see them all! Of course no one was looking at me for this photo!! We also enjoyed time with my brother and his family and Jordan.

Sledding and Snow Play

Since we live in the middle of snow central we have to find ways to make it fun. But there are dangers as well. This was Christmas Vacation, it was so cold the whole time and the kids couldn't go outside. It was usually around 10- during the daytime. One day it was 20 degrees so I had the kids bundle up and go outside for a bit to play in the snow. I went outside to give the boys hot chocolate while they were playing and to take their picture when I noticed that Rylee had white circles on his cheeks. I panicked a little brought them all in, put warm washcloths on his face, and called the nurse line to ask what to do. They said he had frostbite, stick him in the tub to warm his body and get his circulation flowing, and keep using the warm rags. If his skin turned red he was good, if it stayed white or blistered bring him in! Thank goodness after awhile his cheeks turned red again! I have no picture of the white patches on Rylee's che...
