Weekend at our cabin

School ended for us on Friday so we headed up to our cabin for some fun in the mountains. A few of our highlights were: 

firecrackers, four wheeling, river watching, flowers on grandpa Reeds grave, roasting marshmallows, seeing friends from our old ward in Syracuse, Utah, at the church house in Freedom, Wy. (that was crazy!) and last but not least, roasting doughnuts in the fire-pit. Joey's idea and we must say it was a big hit! 

So we are now going full swing into our summer activities. Pool time, golfing, tennis, and late nights to name a few. I'm tired all ready!

A lost tooth!

Jacob was so excited to have his first loose tooth! On sunday he told me it was loose and a short four days later it was out! The tooth fairy is reported to be very busy and missed our house last night...hopefully she will come/remember tonight! (I can't believe I forgot!)

A Quick update

I've been slaking on the blog! I have no real excuse of why, but here is a quick update.

While outside staining our pool deck the kids discovered two owls hanging around our sports court. They are  about 4-6 weeks old and very interesting to watch. The whole head turning around thing was a little creepy. Jacob loved the yellow eyes and the clicking sounds they keep making (he now thinks he can talk owl). Animal control came and rescued them off our cliff and into safety. 

My laptop has decided to give me keyboarding fits. If I am not careful I send off some crazy emails with lots of missing letters. I thought I could fix this myself by cleaning the keyboard, but I ended up breaking the zero key completely and now need to take it in to get repaired.  

Jessica played in her first "Skills" golf game Saturday. She took second place! Way to go sis! 

(Joey got second in his bracket also, but did not want to take a picture with a second place trophy...he was upset with his performance to say the least!)

Mother's Day was great. Breakfast in bed, home-made cards and books, church and a new cell phone. We went over to Joe's mom and meet my parents over there for pie. I have to admit that it is so nice to have a mother-in-law and my mom right here in town. The two of them get a long great and makes it easy to celebrate every holiday together. 

To all the moms out there...enjoy motherhood, enjoy your children, enjoy your divine calling. It only takes one mother to care, listen and love one child to create generations of faithful followers!
