Happy Valentines Day

Today a package arrived for the kids from Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jerry. Here are the kids opening their packages.

Trip to Richfield

We recently went to Richfield for a quick visit. It was our first trip in our new truck and we had a lot of fun besides getting car (or truck) sick in Indian Canyon. I guess its just the truck being a lot higher off the ground than my durango. Saturday Jill, Brandon, Garrett and Sierra met us and we took a drive to Fremont Indian State park and did a couple of hikes and a visit to the museum. It was fun and a nice little historical trip. Then we went to Hoovers to eat. They always have good food. Sunday we just hung out and visited some friends in town, and then Monday before we came home, we took a four wheeler tide to Saul's meadow. That is always a pretty ride no matter the time of year.

Shae comparing hand size with some that were in Hundred Hands Cave.

Fish Lake

We took a drive up to Fish Lake while in Richfield and holy cow the leaves were so beautiful. We stopped at Twin Creek to have a picnic and let the kids play. They had a blast and I got some cute pictures!


This bridge was a hot spot for the kids to play...

My serious son who hates pictures!

Gorgeous mountainside...

Nothing beats a walk holding grandmas hand!

Just the 7 of us...

Liberty having a good ol laugh!

Throwing rocks... I don't think the fisherman down the way liked it but the kids had fun!

This was so pretty!

Misc Richfield pics

These pictures are all from a recent trip we took to Richfield. We drove through Provo canyon and stopped to see Bridal Veil Falls.




These girls are so silly!

More Liberty

Its hard to believe shes already a week old! Its gone by so fast. Everyone keeps telling me to take it easy but I haven't ever had an easier birth. The only thing that has been bothering me is my incision, but even the bruises are fading and I'm not so sore. Pretty soon I'll be completely back to normal. My in laws came to visit last Thursday and we had an awesome visit. Jerry and Clint fixed our air conditioner and I couldn't be happier, and Carol noticed that Duke had an infection in his ear so we took him into the vet and got him some medication! WE also had a good dinner at Don Pedro's and just hung out and caught up. WE are headed down to see them this Friday and maybe go up the mountain. Saturday evening we took the little girls up the mountain to see the big kids and grandma and grandpa. We took a couple of short wheeler rides and had a nice dinner. I think my parents are really going to enjoy their new camper and the toys that go with it. Liberty is doing so well, she has even slept through the night 3 times this past week. She is a very easy going baby. Here are some random pics.


Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jerry with their last grand baby!

She loves to sleep in her car seat even though she is all scrunched up!

Her umbilical cord fell off and this pic is from her first real bath this morning!

She was wide awake after the bath!

And then she went right to sleep.

Peggy lent us this swing to use and Liberty wasn't sure if she liked it or not at first.

And then she crashed out in it! What a life?!?!?
