A Whole Lot of Busy

What a busy past few weeks.....
A few weekends ago my sisters and I took our kids up north to see Disney on Ice. I debated on whether or not to take my boys because it was about all of the Disney princesses, but Kade loved it (and so did i). It was so magical

and even though it has all the princesses, it also had the Princes too.

Before the show we went to Pirate Island to eat and the kids thought that it was great......even though us adults thought the food was terrible.

Here is the only picture I got from the entire day. It is at pirate Island. Kade couldn't get enough of that place.

Next was a fun ice fishing trip with Grandpa Larsen. We went up Ferron Reservoir and the boys were so excited to finally see some snow. They loved playing in it and Tyce couldn't stop eating it. He thought that it was the greatest stuff of earth. We didn't catch any fish, but we had a fun time anyway.

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. It was at my moms house again this year and it turned out so nice. After dinner we went out to the farm to shoot some skeet. The weather was great and Kade had a ball pulling the clay pigeons for everyone. He thought that he was pretty special. Later that night we went over to the Larsen's to paint our Christmas Stockings and get our family picture. It was nice to see everyone there. After all of the parties, we went back to my moms house to stay the night so that we could leave our kids with her while we hit Black Friday. Kyle and I left my mom's house at 2:00am. It was insane over in Price, but fun! After the shopping madness (and some pretty good steals) we headed to JB's to have breakfast with Jodi and Russ and Jasa and Jared.

Kade also had fun shooting as well

Tyce just liked chilling in Grandma Jo's lap where it was nice and warm

After we got home from our crazy shopping trip, we decided to go and cut down our Christmas Tree. Kyle wanted to do a little fishing on our way so we went up to Mary's Lake to try our luck there. Once again we were skunked, but we found a great Christmas tree which we decorated when we got home.

Our pretty tree....I spotted it and new it was the one!

Today my cousin Lance had his baby blessed so we rode over to Elmo for that and now we are finally relaxing and having everyone over for a game of Tripoley and a movie.

We rode up to JC Penney yesterday tp get our family pictures. They turned out okay...just because I have the cutest kids EVER.

Weekend Adventure

On Saturday we thought it would be fun to take the kids out to the desert for a hotdog roast. Kyle had just worked a 12 hour grave and my mom had Jasa's girls so me and my mom loaded up the truck and headed down to Hambrick Bottoms. The kids had so much fun climbing all over the rocks and playing in the dirt.

The next day Kyle and his brother Kory decided to head up Ferron Mountain to cut down some poles to fix fence with at the farm so me and the kids joined them. Before they started cutting, they got out their fishing poles and threw out a line at Ferron Res. Every time they casted out they caught a fish....and nice fish too. They were all SO pretty and a nice size too. Kade and Tyce were in heaven playing with the fish. They loved reeling them in and then throwing them back. Other than is was kind of cold by the reservoir, the day was great.

Every time I go out to the desert or up on the mountain, I remember how lucky I am to be able to live here in Emery County. What a great place to raise my kids!

Halloween and Cow Business

This was definitely a fun and busy weekend for our family. It all started on Friday with a fun Halloween carnival at Ferron Elementary. Kade loved the ring toss, fish pond, and the cake walk. Tyce wasn't too sure about it all, so he just kind of hung out with Kyle. After the carnival, Kyle and I ditched our kids and went to our Friend Zac's house for a little adult party (which was a blast). The next morning we woke up and got back into our costumes to go trick or treating at Grandma Hansen's, Lori's, and Grandma Reids. Our next stop was a Jasa's for a little Halloween carnival of our own. Jamie told gruesome stories, and the rest of us had some really fun activities for the kids. After the carnival we got back into our costumes again for the trunk or treat (okay so this was my first trunk or treat and can I just say....LAME!!) After the trunk or treat we walked all over town trick or treating the good ole fashion way and then ended up back at Grandma Jo's for dinner and a fun game of Tripoly.

Kade's Preschool Class

The next morning it was back to business. On Nov. 1st, the cows are ready for the desert (and so are we). So we all saddled up and headed out. It was so much fun to have everyone helping out this year. It has been a long time since everyone came....and it was way worth it. It seemed like we had more riders than cows, but we had a blast.

Thanks everyone for coming. Dad would have been SO proud of his little cowboys and cowgirls!
