Tree house Museum

Every time we got to the Tree house Museum we have to get a picture of the kids on the fire truck! This is one of my favorite places to take the kids they always have fun and I am always impressed with they different things they come up with and create.

Samantha, Maelee, and Jordan planting and harvesting the garden

Andrew riding the bull

Hang on there Samantha

Kinnick was in heaven. He was loving everything there, being with cousins, and just being out and about!

Jordan did not want to come but as soon as we got there she was having a great time.

Andrew and Maelee all dressed up ready for their ride

Jordan dressed up like a rodeo clown!

If you can not tell the kids love riding the horses and bulls, you would think that their Grandpa did not have real ones that they can ride when ever they want to.

Maelee tripped and fell and got a bloody nose it was a good thing that doll house was not being played because that was the only thing that help her not be so sad.

I think that Andrew would have stayed in the LEGO area the whole time if we would have let him!

Kim teaching Andrew, Kinnick and Samantha something about music in the music area.

Grandma and Maelee making some awesome music.

Those are so bit old drums!

Kinnick Watrin the future President of the United States of America. Maelee was not sure why he got to sit there and she did not!

Finishing Basement!

Since it is cold outside Adam decided he needed a project so we are going to finish him an office, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. More pictures to come of finished project.

Maelee says this will be her bedroom but I am not ready to let her move down yet!

The Wheels on the Bus!

Once again I was able to go with Andrew and his preschool on a field trip. We drove the kids to the bus station and from there we rode the bus to the Fun Park and played on the soft play and then rode the bus back to the bus station. It was so fun to see how excited the were to ride the bus. On this field trip both the morning and afternoon classes went together so I do not know some of the kids in the pictures.

Jaxon, Andrew, and Bentley sharing a seat on the bus, I love the look on all their faces!

Parker and Caleb ready for a ride on the bus!

Lucy in the Brown coat waiting to get on the bus.

We also had a fun day down in SLC my Grandma Tamar, Jodi, Kim and Kinnick. Grandma was picking out bean bags to give the grandkids on their birthdays. Andrew and Maelee thought this old trolley was awesome that was located in the Old Spaghetti Factory one of our favorite places to eat!

New Year Eve Ranch Trip

Pictures from Kim and Jodi Blogs also some I took but I loved so many so there are a lot of pictures!

We spent New Years Eve and New Years Day at my parents ranch in Idaho. It is a winter paradise for all. This year with all the good snow we have been having we really did enjoy a winter-wonderland!!! Not to mention the relaxation time is awesome too.

Maelee thinks she is at least as old a Jordan and Samantha!

Andrew love to draw and color right now and he is better than I will ever be!

Taylor LOVES pickles! Well she and MaeMae got to eating pickles and they thought they were pretty funny!

Taylor and Kinnick

Mae Mae...in Grandpas new Sledding Tube.

Can you tell by the way we are dressed that it was cold? It was also beautiful and the cold didn't stop anybody!!! This is Reagan with the green helmet and Jordan with the pink...don't they look chic in their winter wear?

Jodi and Kinnick

Maelee and Taylor

Andrew, Kinnick and Kim, Andrew wanted to take Kinnick on a ride on the snowmobile but Kinnick was sick so he was only outside for a little while!

Grandma Tamra...what a good sport. She rode the snowmobiles and hit the sledding hills with the kids.

Grandma Kinnick, and Mae Mae warming up by the fire

Seriously how spoiled...hundreds of acres for these kids alone to enjoy!!!

Beautiful and fun!!!

Elden over the last few years has become a serious chef!!! For our New Years Eve party he cooked steaks but also this Brisket. The Brisket was the star of the party!!!

My dad puts on a huge fire-works show for all the kids on New Years Eve. We bundled up around 9:00 and went out to watch it. It is the best fire-works show in the state...it beats any 4th of July show...anywhere!! The best part the men get to line them up and light it. This year Hunter helped.

We played lots of New Years games to ring in the New Year!!

Kinnick loves people. No suprise given that he is the baby in the family by 7 years. He was delighted with himself the entire weekend. He loved to make sure everyone was watching and then clap for himself.

Ry and Kenny and Kyson! Ryan was SO sick but such a trooper! He had been on the truck all night and then brought the kids up. I love these kids!!

Check out this baby! I can't get enough of sweet Kinnick! Love this photo of he and Grandpa.

Gigantic human skeleton puzzle. The minute it got dumped out of the box I called Jill and Shea...the two of them have some serious building brains!!

While the skeleton was being assembled Taylor, Mae, and Kendal made hot-chocolate.

Done!!!

Finally Mid-Night...the kids were so excited to ring in the new year!!!

Grandpa making a 13!!

This was the first time Kinnick joined in and played with Mae and Kyson. Don't these three make a cute bunch? Mae and Kyson are 6 weeks a part and Kinnick trails by a good 15 months...but they are already showing signs of being good friends!!
