Our new hobby


We have found a new past time. It is called geocacheing. Here is the site so you can learn more. It is a fun thing to do as a family. Lets us get out and enjoy nature and the weather. We have been out twice and the kids can't wait to go again.

P.S.
I know a couple of my brother-in-laws who we can't wait to share some geocaching fun with. :D

Pine Wood Derby



This was Rees' first pinewood derby. He had a good time. He got to help Trent paint it which I think was his favorite part. He ran 10 heats and he won 5 of those. Not to bad.

Feb. 2011

Well I have a few things to post here so I hope you are ready to look at a lot of pictures. ;)

First I am going to post about our trip to Burro Schmidt tunnel. It is really an interesting place. You can learn more about it here Over Presidents week we went with my brother and his family, my sister and her kids, My grandparents and my mom to the tunnel. Although the day was a bit chilly and the wind picked up in the afternoon we still had a great time. Didn't realize that it would be so busy at the tunnel but being a long weekend there was a lot of people there. Mostly people on motorcycles. There were BLM guys stationed there to keep permits and the like even.

Right outside before we venture in.




This is the view out the other side. It really was beautiful my camera didn't do it justice.

This is the exit of the tunnel.

After walking back through the tunnel we found a spot to have lunch. The kids ran around to keep themselves warm because by then the wind was cold.


BIRTHDAYS!!

This last weekend was Tricia birthday party. Rees opened presents and had cake also because most of the family was there. He is having his party with his friends this Friday.




Most of the kids had fun playing games.

He has been wanting this since Christmas. lol


She really liked the blue bird I made her. :)

Stephanie made these for him and they are SO cute!!

Stephanie made this for her. Tricia has been wanting one since Paige got one for her birthday in October. Tricia wore it to school on Monday. Her teacher told her it was very pretty and asked who made it. She at first said "my uncle garrett". lol

They both had alot of fun! I will post some pictures from Rees' party later.
