Nice Weather!

We love to get in the car and go off on a road trip especially when it's beautiful weather! We got to spend some time with Justin's brothers and stay with Joel and Lisa.

We received the royal treatment. I'm not sure that too many people would give their own bed up so that we could be comfortable- but they did. We had fresh squeezed juice everyday, yummy food, played games, took a tour of the studio where Joel worked and went on a beautiful walk.

Grand Junction reminds me a lot of where I grew up and being surrounded by mesas really makes me nostalgic.

On our walk, we all went along on the very same path. By the end, Claire and Hannah's shoes were perfectly "girly", by that I mean not an ounce of dirt to be found on them. I look over and Nathan had managed to find every muddy and dirty cranny of the whole journey. His shoes were caked with mud. It gave us a good laugh and reinforced that he is all boy!

Party Like A Two Year Old!

I'm so glad Cole had a birthday in the middle of winter! It was such a nice excuse to get down to Grand Junction and visit! Lisa went all out for all the cousins and put together a cute "Thomas" party for Cole.

It was some fun memories for Nathan and Kendall. Here were the party favorites:

decorating sugar cookies
coloring Thomas pictures
making trains out of play dough
eating lots of birthday cake
putting together goodie bags
getting a Cole favorite song, CD
tracing their bodies with sidewalk chalk
laughing and being silly
getting scarfs and transforming it into a Lamanite headband
eating pizza until we popped

A Visit From Eagle!

These two cuties got to come and hang out for a morning. I just love when I can get my hands on some "girl hair!" Tasha let me have at it! They played and laughed- it was music to my ears.

Nathan still pretends to be a Lamanite and insists on wearing his headband so that he can protect his sheep.
