Summer Fun

Our summer has been filled full of adventures already! A week ago I held a baby shower for my friend Emily at our house. About 20 min after the guest left Paislee pulled a bar stool on to her and cut her forehead. Heath was at work, so the kids and I packed up and drove to Utah Valley Emergency Room. Once we got there the doctor told me that he would need to do conscious sedation on Paislee to make sure he gets the least visible scar possible. Thank you so much to my sister, Mollie, for taking Riker during the procedure and then bringing him back with plenty of treats and a new activity book. He sure is a monster and had he been there I would have been in serious trouble! Paislee did great for the procedure and was quite hilarious coming out of the sedation.

This is the next day. She was pretty proud of her stitches. It looks really small, but they managed to fit 7 stitches in it!


This is Riker's new found treasure. We have had this bummer bottle sitting around since Spit Fire was a colt and we had to bottle feed him after Splash died. Riker likes to try and feed M&M out of it, who does not want anything to do with it.


Paislee and Riker have also been taking swimming lessons. Daddy swims with Riker and both did very well the first session! Riker is a natural fish in the water. Paislee on the other hand, is more into play than in to learning how to swim.

Paislee sitting on the sidelines while her stitches were in. Thanks heavens they were only in for 5 days. She did not like sitting on the sidelines.

We hope to continue to have a fun filled summer. Riker will be 2 next month! I can't believe our little monkey is that big! Heath is almost done building his round pen and once it is done he will be able to start working on his colt. We also have many fun fishing, camping, and dirt biking trips planned. I am hoping with all of our fun activities that we have planned that we can make time to work on the basement. I am hoping that we can have the basement finished by the end of the year since we will be welcoming 2 more little feet into our home then!

We hope you have a fun filled summer!

Devils Race Track

One of our favorite hobbies is to ride dirt bikes and 4-wheelers. Papa and grandma came down for Mother's Day and then stayed the night so we could go on a dirt biking "adventure" on Monday. Heath and my dad had gone riding the week before out to the Devils race track and had such a good time that we all decided to do it.

I am sure that I am going to be being some 50cc dirt bikes in the near future. My kids, are addicted to motorcycles!

Riker doesn't have all the gear yet, so he wears a bicycle helmet and sun glasses. He is so patient when his glasses (that are too big) slide down, he just waits for someone to notice and push them back up!

This is us on top of Dutchmans Arch. It was amazing. You could see for miles.

This is papa and grandma! We stopped to have lunch by Swayze's cabin and found this cool little cubby in the rock. What better place to have a picnic.

This is inside the Ice Box. I can see how the pioneers kept things cool. It was a little chilly in there!

The kids eating there sandwhiches in the little cubby. They thought this was the neatest thing.

Heath and my dad standing in front of Swayze's Cabin. I am not sure how the pioneers did it, but I am sure thankful for my house and all my worldy possesions.
Riker also found himself a furry little friend. A MOUSE! It was dead and he picked it up, so I screamed and he screamed for about 10 minutes. I scared him half to death.

This is our little Pnut and her riding get up! She couldn't part with her blanket, so grandma decied to improvise and put it up under her helmet so she could suck it while she rode. She is sure the 4-wheelin princess in this seat.

This is Eagles Canyon, it is under I-70. These bridges are about 300ft above us.

It was so amazingly beautiful.

This is our latest adventure! I hope that we soon have more to share with you and that I can get them posted as soon as our next adventure arrives.
