Dubois & Castle Gardens

Jackson and I made a trip up to Dubois last week. We checked out the Big Horn Sheep Museum (he's looking at an exhibit comparing human eyesight w/a Big Horn Sheep's. They see 7 times better than humans). His favorite part of the trip was riding the local Jackalope! On Sunday, we all headed out to a neat place near Riverton called "Castle Gardens". We had fun hiking around and checking out the petroglyphs. Still feels like March/April around here. It's Madness!

Buddies

Not much going on around here lately.....just kicking back w/my boys.

Birthday Bowling!

Since I couldn't really think of anything to do for my 35th birthday, Kaycee suggested that we go bowling (her friend Shane had a bowling party last year). So, I agreed. We took our friends Jan, Steve, Nolan and Shayla. Was fun....Jan and I were just happy there were no broken toes - and we didn't get kicked out. I think it helped that we had the place to ourselves though, not many bowlers at 4:00 in the afternoon. Was a GREAT B-day!

Since the temp's around here have been in the 50's for about a week (where do I live???) we went hiking around twin creek this weekend. Was so warm - felt like spring! I'm gonna be really bummed when the high temp doesn't get above 5 again.

Ouch!

When I got back from running on Wednesday, Jackson took off my hat, put it on his head and started running around in circles screaming "I'm a runner, I'm a runner, I'm a runner". Apparently, the fact that my hat was too big for his little noggin didn't stop him from running as fast as he could. Even when the hat fell down over his eyes. Hence, Jackson discovered that he can't run through walls... especially the sharp corners... and hopefully he learned it is a good thing to see where you are going. That "goose egg" was HUGE! I don't even think this picture does it justice it was so big. But... he seems to be alright. Is just a matter of time until I post a pic of him in the E.R.. I'm certain of it.

Here is Jackson with his little Friday buddies... my Friend Cindy and I swap kids so we can volunteer in our kids' kindergarten class during the week. Jackson LOVES Fridays because he has a bigger audience than normal. Logan is in the back, Mason is the cutie in front and Madison is in front too... she's just like another Kaycee so she and Jackson get along "swimmingly". They wanted to have a campfire in the Hello-Kitty tent... but settled on a bowl of mini-marshmellows instead. Since the weather has been unseasonably warm over the last 3 days, Jackson and I cruised up to Sink's Canyon to go on a little hike. We stopped to throw a few snowballs on Bruce's bridge and had so much fun, we just kept throwing snowballs for about an hour or so. There were a few hikers who passed us by... I think they thought we had lost it, but we had a "ball"!!

Holy Crap - Utah WON!!

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!
13 - 0 Baby!

Utes Take Gonzaga....Barely!

We aren't in New Orleans for the big football game today (VERY JEALOUS John & Shaunel)..... but we were able to catch the Utah vs. (much higher ranked) Goazaga basketball game on New Years Eve. We weren't really expecting Utah win, but lo and behold... they won, by one!

Kaycee was VERY into the second half. Jackson lost most interest once he discovered the cookies-n-cream dots ice cream, popcorn, pizza and cotton candy (no wonder I can't keep his damn face clean... ha!). We had a fun time - was a full week too with our "King's Day" party (we were SO SPOILED) and elk hunting (didn't get anything, but had fun just "getting out"). Wish I would have taken more pictures, but just had too much fun playing!! Anyhow, Happy New Year and GO UTES!!!
