The Wind Caves

with the nice weather i have been able to start hiking again which is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. On the way up we had an encounter with a rattle snake which scared me and i screamed and jumped off the path..so that was fun. When we got to the top it started raining which made it really pretty. When we went to leave we decided to take a different path which ended up having all kinds of cliffs and drop offs. It was quite the eventful Hike.

the view was really pretty with the rain



Me and Josh

The Park

It took quite a few tries to get a picture of all three of them



We all went to the park to enjoy the nice weather last week. As always it was a lot of fun. We took the kite and tried to get it up but there wasn't enough wind. So we just played on the playground and played a little Frisbee.

Whip Cream Anybody?

this happened while christopher and Emily were here but i think it deserves a post of it's own. While we were having Madalyn's birthday jello with Whip Cream JoAnna showed us an awesome game. you put whip cream on your hand and hit it and it flies up and you catch or try to catch it in your mouth. It was very very entertaining and even the very next night at ward prayer we had whip cream to go on ice cream and i got to show off my mad skills.

This weekend Christopher and Emily cam up with their boys. It's always a lot of fun when the whole family (well those within driving distance) gets together. It really made me excited for when Brian and LExie come to visit in a couple of weeks and the whole Family will be able to get together! During the weekend we celebrated Madalyn's birthday, Played at the park, found out how talented Dodger really is, Took mom Mother's day shopping, and went out for Ice cream. It was busy but a really fun couple of days!

Madalyn Turns 1!!!

Madalyn turned one on may 9th. Since she can't eat alot of foods she got a jello cake. Which she ended up loving to play in. She is so much fun and we are all so blessed to have her in our family. Love you Madalyn!

So the other day i came up the steps and witnessed this dance. It went on for awhile then realized there was a camera on the top of the fridge. Luckily i was able to record it to share this moment with everyone! I hope you all enjoy as much as i did. Oh and sorry it's sideways i don't know how to flip videos.
