Shark Attack

We found a hungry shark in the yard today.....luckily, we had plenty of food for him to eat!

Kaycee's friend Nolan came over to help us feed him.

Gotta love lazy summer days!!!

Cheetahs

We're into our 3rd week of soccer this spring. The "Cheetahs" are having a lot of fun! Kaycee scored two goals the 1st game, her FIRST goals ever!!!

Is nice to get out together....even if we are still in hats and gloves!

Fish-n-Fun

Feels a bit like spring around here...FINALLY. We had some fun fishing at Lucky Pond last weekend with Jim, Connie & Bill. We weren't expecting to catch much besides some sunshine. But got lucky. We didn't even know the big one was on our line until Jason started gathering up our stuff to leave and reeled in one of the poles. Ha!

Woodrow had fun stretching his legs a bit at the ranch too. With a little help from Kaycee and Jackson. ;P

hOpPy EaStEr !

SpRiNg BrEaK??

Spring break started today. Good thing we didn't have any plans to travel since we keep getting more and more snow!! Was actually kind of nice since I don't' think we have made a snowman all year!!! Kaycee made her entire snowman herself - luckily, we took a picture since Bo tore everything off it once we went inside. Jackson was the one to demolish his snowman about two seconds after his snapshot.

We hiked around sinks canyon for a bit last week. Was still a little icy, but the kids (& Bo) enjoyed soaking up every ounce of sunshine on the rocks. So looking forward to more hiking this spring!

Moab

I love Moab. I could live there. Jas & I went down there this weekend for the half-marathon. We asked the kids if they wanted to go...but they were much more excited about spending the weekend with "Granny & Grampy" Conder.

We didn't object.

The race was fun! About 30 degrees at the start, but it warmed up quickly. Was a relief since Friday had horrible winds and blowing snow. After the race we hiked around Arches National Park for a bit.

Sunday morning we biked slick rock. Was the warmest day there. Which was a good thing since Jason's derailleur decided to break about 3 miles out. We attempted to salvage the chain by shortening it and keeping the bike in one gear, but even the chain was bent and wouldn't stay on. So, Jason went "chainless" the second half of the course. Wasn't too bad since it was mostly downhill. He only had to walk uphill then coasted down. We still made decent time.

We said good-bye to that k-mart special bike at the trailhead. No tears. It may still be in the dumpster. I'm thinkin next time we will just rent one of those "fancy schmancy" bikes from town.

We had so much fun, but missed the kids. Think that we will have to come back with them next time. Just felt so nice to be WARM for a weekend. As I am typing this, it is snowing. Must be spring!

Loof Toof

Hallelujah! Kaycee's 1st "loof toof" FINALLY came out on Saturday!! No more cutting up foods into 1/2 inch squares. No more carnation instant breakfast meals with a straw. No more anxiety about swallowing a loose tooth while sleeping. Along with anxiety about how to extract a swallowed loose tooth to cash in w/the fairy.

Whew!

At least until the next loose tooth comes along.
