First day of SCHOOL! 2013

Fresh cuts and new shoes. Ready or not here they come!!

Playin in the Rain!

There is nothing like a sunny rain!
It is warm wet and inviting...so out they went with the umbrella for tramp games and running to chase rainbows. This afternoon was a favorite!

Our Tree

Image

Hidden in a beautiful aspen grove, off the trail, in one of the prettiest places in the white mountains is our tree. We hope to visit it for years to come.



Afternoon hike!

Image

We try and take a few "feildtrips" in the summer to places near by that we have never visited.
This was a short hike down to a creek near woodland lake park.
We found fresh watercress at the bottom and made boats out of leaves to float down stream.
It was lovely.

Randall Reunion 2013!

This year we rounded everyone up for a cowboy style day of fun food and games!
We had relays and water balloon wars.

Onlookers cheering for the gunny sack race!

Image

Kids earned pennies all day to buy goodies from the general store.
(Natalie was in charge and came up with all these great ideas)

Image

We always start with a patriotic devotional and flag raising.
Kasen got to help fold the flag, you know Kasen he took it very serious and was so respectful.

Image
Jaxon was thrilled about the cowboy theme and came fully decked out in his cowboy duds.

Image

Image

Image

Troy created his own game and ran around roping the kids. A highlight for everyone.

Image
Three legged race!

Launching balloons was super fun! We really made them soar.

Image

As happy as can be!

Papa told some of his cowboy stories around the campfire.
This was my favorite part I love feeling connected to my family with stories of the past.
Getting a feel for who we come from makes us want to be better.
Thanks Dad

Long Scenic Drive & Lady bug

Image

We went for a drive today up by Big Lake.
Even after the burn it is so beautiful.

Image
We walked down to the creek and through the meadows.

Image

Image
At Big Lake Canyon found  a ladybug and was content the rest of the trip to just carry the little bug  around. He finally got away in the truck on the way home and we cold never find the little lady bug again. Canyon was sad.
