Kyrene and Naomi had birthdays!

Craig and Cynthia had a big birthday bash for Kyrene. They also invited Naomi to share in the festivities, since her birthday was only 3 days away. We had so much fun!

Opening the presents:

Cutting the cakes:

DJ, the Ninja (thanks to Uncle Pat)

My allergies were killing me, so I tried to stop the pollen. So did DJ...

Naomi's first (I think) horse ride!

Briaunna came to see Jon. He was thrilled!

Pinata time!

Next order of business...

COOKOUT!!!

My kids had an agenda. First horse rides, then a bbq -- immediately, just in case we should never have another opportunity.

What do you do in Duchesne???

Ride horses, of course! And while you wait, you eat dirt, run up and down hills and cry...

Traveling Antics

We needed a break from all of our traveling. We stopped at Wilson Arch, with the intent to climb up to it. Unfortunately, my bladder had other plans, so we hurriedly took a picture of Lil and Naomi (who had never been there before) and rushed to the next rest stop. Then, we ran and rolled and ate and climbed and had a great time!

Some Memories

We found out this morning that my Grandpa Hansen passed away. We will miss him. Who will feed us Lucky Charms and M&M's now? I am so glad we were able to visit him for a few minutes last week. I am also grateful for my knowledge of the Lord's plan for us. I know I will see Grandpa again.
