Our Newest Family Member

Meet Homer! This is our newest family member. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that I would have a donkey. But I also never knew that I would marry a cowboy! I am sure glad I did....it's definitely an adventure. Thursday we got a call from Ry's Dad saying that a guy (Rudy) that Ryan roped with last Saturday called and asked if Ryan would like a burro (donkey). Little did he know that Ry has spent countless hours on KSL looking for one and this one was free! I guess they are great to practice roping on! So first thing Friday morning we went over to Rudy's and picked up Homer. He is old and gentle and I don't know who loves this little donkey more...me, Ry or the kids...he is a great addition to our family!

Saturday afternoon with Grandpa's and Grandma's

This last Saturday we went down to Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Patty's. The boys were absolutely in heaven spending the day at there house. Grandpa and Gav played a LOT of baseball and even had a foot race. We spent some time on the swings with Grandma and soaked up some much needed SUNSHINE! Here are a few pics from the fun!

                                                                        The Winner!

                                                                                 

                         Even Grandma swung...even though it makes her sick she couldn't resist!

Thanks for the good time and fun memories...Grandma and Grandpa!

Children's Museum

We are so grateful that Lacee invited us to escape for a day from the normal routine and go to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake. The boys absolutely loved it! Here are a few pictures from our adventure!

Happy 2nd Birthday Treston

I can hardly believe it's been two years today that my Treston was born. He has changed me more then any of my children. I think because I knew he would be my last. He has made me more patient...because he is the one who makes me want to pull my hair out the most. He has brought me more tears as I have tried to savor every baby moment. He has brought me more smiles...with his infectious laugh and bright blue eyes. I can't image my life without him. I am so thankful Heavenly Father trusted me to be his mother. Thank you Treston for all the love you bring in to our home. Happy Birthday!

Love

I read this this morning...and loved it! Thought I would share. It made me happy and hope it will you to!

"Think of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount‹that is the measure of God's love for you." God does not look on the outward appearance (see 1 Samuel 16:7). I believe that He doesn't care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He love us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely." --Dieter F. Uchdorf

love you! Carolynn

A Park at Grandma's house

A few weeks ago we got to spend a week at Grandma's house. It was so fun because we were able to have a few days at Grandma and Grandpa to ourselves before the rest of the family came. One day Grandma thought we should go to zoo. When we got there it was closed. But it was okay...because there was an amazing park right next to it and the kids loved it. We thought it was a heat wave because it was 50 degrees not 8 degrees like sunny Utah! The kids played and played. Poor Grandma got a bit cold. But we had a blast! A few more posts to follow about fun time at Grandma's house!

I love this picture of Carson! I caught him watching his brothers!

This zip line was super fun!

Daddy helping!

This bowl spins you around! Everyone took a turn getting dizzy!
