Goblin Valley

So call us crazy but we decided to go camping in Utah in February!! We went down to Goblin Valley which is someplace that Rob has never been, and it has been a very long time since I have been there and it did not disappoint! This is our camping spot for the first night. It was beautiful, and we had the entire place to ourselves. It was a very very cold night in the tent, but we survived and only had to endure it for one night.

We had a great time playing in and among the rock formations and the boys had a great time playing hide and seek, or sniper. Cam says, "I got you"!

On a little hike. It was very narrow at some points but we had a great time finding our way around. We taught Jack about what a cairns is, rocks stacked up to mark the way to go, and he kept calling them "kindles". It was cute.

Jack is a very good sniper.

This is Jack climbing up the hill he was sliding down in the picture above.

We asked one of the few people we saw to take a picture of all of us.

Jack & Cam

Cute Cam is getting so big and was so anxious to try and keep up with his brother. His favorite new phrase is..."I do it myself".

Our little linebackers! It was cool in the day so we had to stay warm with our coats on but otherwise it was perfect.

They campground has 2 yurts which have propane heaters inside and bunk beds and we were able to get one of them for our second night. It was so nice to feel warm. I don't think this will be the last time we stay in one of the yurts!:)

A great picture of the sunrise coming into the Valley of the Goblins!

So long Goblin Valley thanks for a great couple of days!

Dew Tour

We were up in Eden a few weeks ago with some friends and it happened to be at the same time the Dew Tour was coming to Snowbasin Ski Resort. We weren't sure what to expect but we headed over with the kids and it was a lot of fun. We saw some amazing snowboarding on the huge half pipe! We watched the girls compete and a few of them had been in the Olympics and won snowboarding medals. It was all fun and very impressive.

Bubble Boy

Jack decided that he wanted to take a bubble bath and he really went for it. I guess a bit of soap and some jet tub bubbles can really make for a lot of fun!

Baby Shower For Lu

My sweet SIL Lauren is expecting her first baby on April 2nd. Lu is married to my youngest brother Zach and they are so excited to welcome their baby girl to the family. Lauren's sister and Mom had a great shower for her and I was just happy to be there. My family is waiting for the birth of 3 new babies, my SIL Rachael is having a baby next week, Lu in April, and then my sister Nikki in May, so fun!!

Our Amazing Bodies

Hi Jack meet puppet Jack! Jack had a puppet show at school that talked about our amazing bodies. They had cute poems and songs about our muscles, bones, and senses.

His teacher made all of the adorable puppets.

Jack's part was, "we have five senses keeping us safe, and helping us enjoy the day."

It is so fun to see Jack and all his friends at school.

Cabin Fun

It is always fun when we can sneak up to the cabin for a few days and we had not been up for a long time so we were excited to be there. We enjoyed the snow, and building fires to stay warm, and watched a lot of football with a little bit of basketball just for fun.

Steve & Erika even came up and joined us for a night and we were so happy they did.

Rob and his new best friend!:)

Bring Out The Jersey

I gave this jersey to Jack just before he turned 3 a couple years ago, a great DI special jersey, and he literally wore it every day for months. We pulled it out a while ago for Cameron and what do you know this little one is also very attached to wearing jersey's. At least this time around we have more than one jersey to chose from, but still everyday, for a good portion of the day, and most nights he is wearing a jersey.
