Playing in the Dirt!!

New yard!!

We finally have a new yard where I can relax and the kids can play safely!! We all love it and their favorite part is the little bit of dirt to throw at each other...I would hate to think of how they would act with a sand box!!



Hunter loves to load her cup with rocks then take it to the other side of the yard and dump it out and fill it again...she did this for about an hour!!

Jackson Hole

We went to Jackson Hole a couple of weeks ago for a little getaway. We had a good time...We rode the new tram lift up the mountain and did a lot of relaxing. here are some pictures of our trip.





I made Steve drive the 2 hours to see Old faithful. The kids were more impressed with playing in the gravel than seeing water fly in the air. It was a long drive for them!

Little boys and glasses!!

Let me tell you for those who don't know...Little boys and glasses don't mix!! We are on our 2nd prescription and 3rd set of frames!! He is doing so much better now that he can see, however, he (and his loving sister) are super hard on the glasses!! The first (distinguished) pair were so cute on him but not practical for an 18 month old! When he would get them off (when I was in the bathroom or while he was in his car seat) he would chew on the silicone nose pieces and they would be ruined! It was crazy how many of the little things we went through and how often I had to go into the eye Doctor to get replacements. I was pretty sick of it so I used the wonderful Internet to research glasses for babies!! I knew that I wasn't the only mom in the world who had gone through this fun stuff and sure enough there are Solobambini glasses that are hard plastic and rubber and have NO nose pieces! he loves them and they are pretty dang cute on him!! They also have transition lenses so they turn dark in the sun!





Also the people at the Moran eye center have been so dang good to us. They replaced the "distinguished" pair at no cost to us (after he was so hard on them) with a fisher price pair that are pretty cute too! They are not quite as durable as the solobambini frame, we have already had to get them repaired and we have only had them for a month, but it is nice to have the two pairs to switch back and forth.

The last 3 days of our vacation we rented a house near the beach in Lincoln city, OR and we were able to let the kids play on the beach for a couple of hours. It was rather cold but they still had so much fun!!



Here are Hunter and Roper on the beach with the seagulls. They wanted to pet them so bad and for some reason the birds didn't want to be touched. They pretty much just wanted bread!!



Here is Hunter with the seagulls!



Here is Roper with the seagulls!

I have been a huge slacker on the blog front...It has been crazy lately so here is an update on everything!!

Spent 3 weeks straight trying to find a Mountain Lion to shoot (with no success as of yet)

We have had 2 cases of croup in the last two months.

We went on a much needed vacation to Oregon!

We are almost finished remodeling the main level of our house. (cabinets will be done today!)

Roper Judd got glasses!

I will post pictures soon!
