New Years Day Foothills Hike

We had to get out of the house with the nice weather that we were having! We spent the last weekends of December and New Years Day hiking in the foothills. Kyleigh was such a trooper! She walked at least a mile on her own before needing to be carried. We seem to find some really cool things that we would not see otherwise when out hiking around! Branden and Kyleigh loving each other on Castle Rock!
Austin checking out the view!

Getting too hot to wear coats! It was really nice out!
Kyleigh was a little tired! She managed to get Dad to drag her down the mountain! I think at some point she actually fell asleep! Dad had some sore legs on the way down! Can you see how steep it is! And it wasn't short either! So much fun though!

Kyleigh really wanted to play on the computer, which I don't normally let her do, and she caught right on to using a mouse and all the other fun stuff. She loves to play all the time which is probably good cause it gets me off the computer! I love my little Ky girl!

Were Back!!! Long Time No Post

Well it has only been a year and a half! Not that long since I last posted! The reason I am back. Well so that when I am behind on my scrapbooking I remember what was actually happening! I plan to use this as a journal for our family! So here is to hoping that I can keep up with it!
My first post.... BORING!!!! Just normal daily life that is happening around here and the few pics that I happened to snap (or Austin!)
Austin.. my big 5th grader! Doing homework. He is so good at this. Never really complains and just gets it done! He is so smart too. Just ask him any question about government this year and most likely he can answer it. I have learned a thing or two!

Branden... he just always has the look of trouble on his face. This is the little man that was so kind as to share the flu with literally everyone in our home the last two weeks! Thanks for sharing Branden!
We had a wonderful day of snow. Snowed something like 6-8 inches and as soon as it did it started to rain and so Branden jumped out and made a snowman all on his own! Wasn't long before that was gone too!
Kyleigh loves her dog pillow that Kaden won for her! She is always with it and her pink blanket. Good thing she is still small and it works for her. Might be nice if she would love the ones that I made for her!
I was so proud that I made the most amazing turkey ever and was bragging about it at home so Austin got the camera and said let me take a picture so I said okay. Well..... this happened to be the 7th try of him taking the photo. It was getting to the point that if this didn't work that was it! That is actually a lot like my turkey making skills. If this didn't work I was planning to give up! So this is what we end up with! This turkey really was the best.
