Grandma Connie Came to Visit

Grandpa Dave was working on the house in Aberdine, so Grandma came to visit us. We took her swimming at the Gunnison swimming pool and had a blast. Thanks for visiting Connie, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Hiking Japs Valley- April 2010

The kids got some new water back packs and we had to try them out. They did awesome and we had so much fun. It was beautiful weather and we spent four hours just climbing and eating our lunch. I love to be outdoors with the kids. Nothing could be better. Oh, and I took way too many pictures....Enjoy!

Zane found a little cave

and of course we had to pick flowers and haul home a million rocks :)

My little mountain men

Zane was such a good helper on the steep parts

Lunch time....Yum.

Josie looked for all the flowers the whole time. She is like her momma.

Check out the goose egg on Jesses head....OUCH!

They loved their water back packs.

We were up pretty high

The troop........Dont forget the toilet paper :)

Sleeping Beauty

Josie got some pajamas and a eye mask for her birthday from a friend. She seriously sleeps in the mask every night. What a cutie she is.

Bear Baiting Gone Bad......

I went bear baiting with some friends that I work with at the prison....it was a cold day and we were all on the four wheelers. We would drive for a ways and then they kept stopping to pull over and use their bonoculars to see where they should bait. They dedcided not to go up much further so we just rode the wheelers for a while. We got the Rhino stuck and had to dig us out and then Bown, Jensen and I went up a trail for a four wheeler ride that didnt turn out so good. We almost slid off the side of a cliff. Bown and I had to climb on to Jensens four wheeler, go back to the truck and then to Bowns house to wait for help. We went back up later and had to have another rhino winch us off the mountain. We got home before dark that night and was glad to be off the mountain. Even though it was a cold long day, we had a blast and it was quite an adventure...... Good times!

It is hard to tell what a cliff we are on, but that tree is the only thing holding the Rhino on the top. It was so steep and scary, it doesnt even look bad in this picture though

Uuummmmm.....we might be stuck

They did this the whole time....guys can be so boring :) Just kidding.....it was alot of fun.

Bown and I waiting for the guys to get done so we can go for a ride
