Wheely Flats Spring Break

We had a lot of fun puttering around at wheely flats over spring break. Sierra and Makenzie enjoyed climbing the hills and posing for pictures. Drake was crazy and was climbing all the big hills on the 4 wheelers and Tyson was just about as crazy on his 4 wheeler. He wanted to go up all the big hills. Steve pushed him up a few and let him come back down. After awhile we decided he should probably have a helmet on. We would be walking along side of him on a trail and all of the sudden he would just bail off the side of the hill on 3 wheels. CRAZY. He is also potty training and so he decided he needed to go the bathroom and Steve caught him in action. He is doing well though.

SPRING TIME

It's spring time and we are loving the weather!!! We lost one of our big trees during the big wind storm and caused the storm in Lehi that Tracie and Dave were in. So we got 2 big trees and so Steve had to dig 2 BIG holes. Tyson and Makenzie had a lot of fun helping him and Makenzie even experienced a shovel full of dirt to the face. Tyson had no clue that he caused all this trauma. After getting dusted off back to work they went. We love spring time.

TOOTHLESS ANNIE

Sierra has lost her two front teeth. She was so excited and was very determined to pull
her teeth out on her own. Both of theses teeth were twisted out in school. Her second one was really loose and Dad wanted to get it out of there so the night before she pulled it out we tried and tried to get it out put it didn't work but she did get it out the next day at school. Now we have a toothless Annie that is what my dad always called us.

Drake's 9th Birthday

After a fun day of snowboarding Drake came home to open presents. He recieved so many nice gifts but I think he was the most surprised about his 22. Grandma made a banana cream pie while we were off snowboarding and so he had pie for dessert instead of cake. We love you Drake you are an awesome boy and a lot of fun in our family.

Snowboarding Sore Bum Fun

We were up for Shane and Carrie's wedding so we took Drake snowboarding for his birthday. We also talked everyone else into snowboarding so it was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. I think the only first timers were Sawyer and Drake and of course they picked it up fast. It was only my second time and that was 15 years ago. By the end of the day I think we had all picked up the carving part at least on the easiest runs. Sawyer was awarded the best crash award after doing about 5 flips in the air when he caught his edge and I think that was only the first or second run. I hit my tail bone really hard once and then my arms began to take the beating. Drake wanted to go home after 3 runs but then at the end wanted to keep going. Yes I was about the slowest one down the heal but I was always working on my form as you will see in one of the pictures. We were all very tired when we got home and we were all very thankful for the gondola ride down to the bottom instead of having to board all the way down.

Shane and Carrie's Wedding

Shane and Carrie's wedding was a lot of fun!! It is always fun to see the twinkle the newlywed's eyes. It was a little chilly but sunny. Poor Carrie I think froze to death. The nieces and nephews all were so excited and love to run around taking pictures and chasing the newlyweds. We are excited to add Shane to the family!! Thank you for being great examples to the kids and all of us. Congratulations you two and keep it strong.
