Lucy's 7th Birthday

We celebrated Lucy's special day with Rainbows galore, including homemade rainbow pizza the kids topped themselves and of course the 7 year old right of passage, getting her ears pierced!!!!

The Day Jack Lost his first tooth

How else would a young man loose his first tooth, but in a fist fight. It was a gentle wrestling match with Lucy and took an unfortunate turn. Of course it happened hiking in the river bottom.

Florida And Disney

Back At It So Far From Home

We will resume with June of 2013 ( I lost my phone aka my prime photo taking device). The kids and I headed to Florida with the In-Laws. Here are some of the Highlights!

It Sure Has Been A While...

So it has been over a year, and I feel bad for dropping the blog so hard. So I am going to add a few posts of picture and places we have been this past year and five months. Then we will kick this spring off with renewed dedication. Here are some mountain goats (first kids and I have ever seen in wild) from our drive home on saturday (we went to Idaho Falls)!!!

Sheep Mountain 7-28-12 (Sleeping Indian)

An infamous mountain to climb here in Jackson is Sheep Mountain, known to locals as Sleeping Indian. Honestly why not, who would pass up a chance to sit on top on a well known land mark. There are two trails to summit Sheep Mountain, one from the Flat Creek Trail Head (7 miles round trip) from the National Elk Refuge, and the other from Red Hill campground just past Slide Lake (11 miles round trip). We chose the shorter of the two routes. We didn't make it to the summit, we only went on for a few miles until we passed Flat Creek Ranch. It was getting cloudy and looked like rain, and the top of a mountain is not where I would choose to be so we turned back
