Swimming in the pond

Colten and Jay

It is starting to get warm and it has been so nice to play outside. The boys got so hot working the other day that they decided to go for a swim in the dirt pond. It was cold but felt pretty good after the heat all day. The kids loved it. It is always fun to go for a ride on the horses. Colten lives to see and ride horses. He has a little bit of an obsession. I guess we live in the right place for it. That's all he wants to do. It is constantly on his mind. It is kind of funny though.

Easter was fun. We woke up to snow, not quite the nice spring Easter day but the snow didn't stay to long and it turned into a nice day. We spent most of the day on our trek to church and back. Then had a Easter meal and Harvey and his friend Agustus went on an Easter egg hunt.

The crew

Colten, Charlie, T, Parker, Jane, Brit, Harvey

We went down to Scottsdale to the condos a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun to be able to swim and enjoy a little warmer weather. It was such a fun place for the kids. We enjoyed spending time with all of Jays family. Thanks for the fun trip mom and dad!

Its still Winter

It has been feeling so much like spring weather lately and then on Friday morning we woke up to this. It was so beautiful. The trees were packed with snow. Even though we have had spring fever this snow was much needed so we were very glad!

The Cake

Happy Birthday to Colten. I can hardly believe it has been a year. That went so fast! Colten has been so much fun to have and is such a good little boy. In his first year he: rolled over, sat up mastered crawling and walking around things, got his first two teeth (bottom two), said his first few words hot, horse, dad, mama, nana, dat(that), cow is Moo. He LOVES farm animals mostly horses and cows. We had a fun little party for him. I made him a farm cake and we had Aunt Mar Mar and Uncle Mikey come with all of Kristen's kids and there new little baby(sooo cute). We had a fun night with everyone!

I love where we live. It has been such a fun time to be able to do what we do each day. The kids LOVE it here. Colten can never get enough of going down to see the horses and cows and Harvey loves to catch what ever he can that is crawling or swimming. We just spent a few days at Horse Springs with Jay and helped put the calves on the trucks and went for a little ride after. Harvey also helped Umpa and Grammie get some cows in the other day and rode an Blue all by himself. ( what a great horse) Harvey could not get enough of his outings with Umpa when he recently came up.( feeding the cows, riding on the horses and 4 wheelers, pond trips movies) He told me " Umpa and Grammie are a lot more fun than you mom."

oh well I guess that's the way that it should be.
