Lately

Ty has been taking swim lessons. She is awesome!! She is learning so much and despite the cold, is having so much fun.

Dan went to scout camp for a week. Oh boy did he have some incredibly funny stories when he got home.

Because he was gone, the crazies and I decided to take a girls trip to Utah.

We went to the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti.

This girlie was mad at me because I wouldn't buy her a snow cone. Apparently I am the worst mother. But the funny thing is she wouldn't leave my side all night and even sat on my poor lap almost the entire pageant.

We had kiddos pretend that they were pregnant.

When I was young, every once in a while on Sunday we would get together with a few family friends and have "treats". Everyone would bring a treat and the adults would sit around and chat and us kids would play night games and whatever else we could think of. It is such a great memory of home. We were able to have "treats" while we were there and it was so fun to see my kids running around playing with all the other kids and to also chat with my "family"!

We went to the Rez.

We also went horse riding.

A couple of my crazies went solo. Jo Jo rode without ANY help. She held the reigns and rode the horse all by herself. GiGi also rode by herself, but she had someone walk the horse. I was a proud and nervous momma. I am hating that I didn't get a pic of GiGi. At one point miss Jo Jo decided that she wanted to have the horse run and so Morgan got on with her and they had the horse gallop. Oh my gosh, she smiled forever after that. I haven't seen her that excited for a long time.

Jenna came down the night before we left. She took my twinners back to her house to stay there for a few days. And I came home with only 2 of my crazies.

I'm so grateful for this family of mine!
