Out of order

Okay, so my posts are going to be out of order until I can catch up. I didn't want to post anything new until I got the olds done but so much is going on and I don't want to get even more behind.

Hatcher's Pass

About 45 minutes out of town is an old mining village. A few years back we asked Connor what is was called and he called it, "Broken drun druns." So now every now and again we take a drive out the the drun druns and walk around. Here are some pictures from this time around. Its up in the mountains a bit and it was a cold rainy day so we are pretty bundled up...and we were still cold.

Hanging out at the lake.

We live right down the road from a lake. We have been having some absolutely beautiful weather so we decided to take the kids to the lake. I figured it would be pretty cold and they wouldn't want to get in too much but I was wrong. The water was actually not too bad. We waded in with the kids and dipped Scarlett in. I thought that she would think it was too cold for sure. Again, I was wrong. She had a blast. They all did. It was a fun family evening.

Out visiting the cousins.

James' sister and her family lives out in Roosevelt. We were lucky enough to be in Utah during the time her oldest son was getting baptized. We hung out a few days there, went swimming with them, and just enjoyed their company. I really wish we lived closer. We have so much fun with them.

Digging trenches and planting trees.

While I was at my parents house I was able to help out with some of the things they needed done around the house. One of them being digging a trench so my dad could work on the sprinkler system. The boys were out there along with us the whole time trying to help. We came across a ton of earthworms. The boys don't usually dig around in the dirt so they were having a great time getting dirty and playing with the worms. We also dug a few holes and planted some fruit trees and tomatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed working out in the sun. However, my pale white Alaskan skin didn't so much. I got quite the sunburn.

Cafe Rio with the Yerki.

We were able to meet up with some friends of ours, Brett and Rachael Yerkes, and eat at our favorite Mexican fast food restaurant, Cafe Rio. We decided to just get it to go and eat it at their house so the kids could play. We ate and sent the kids off to play so we could get an intense game of hand and foot going. We spent a good few hours there and the only pictures I took were of Scarlett trying on Lexi's headband. I thought it looked like a turban :)

Peek-A-Boo!

Scarlett has recently started sticking out her tongue a lot. It's so dang cute. This is her at Grandma Sue's house.
