Beans

 This was my fun activity for the day! Playing with beans! I had a #10 can in our food storage that needed to be played with!

 Scoop scoop scoop!

 It only took me a few minutes to teach Amos how to fill a clear jar up with beans! I was so proud of him! He would scoop them up in the measuring cup and carefully aim as he dumped them into the jar! Good boy! Of course, it was only fun for a few seconds lol

The mess was enormous when he was done! But he had fun and learned something new, so it was worth it!

The Cabin!

 My little brother, David, decided to have himself a candle-lit dinner for one. Someone please find him a girlfriend! He obviously knows how to cook...!

 Swirly time for Kyjia!

 Our delicious BBQing men!

 Dad teaching Amos how to quietly watch deer! Kirk will follow these amazing creature for hours. The same way his dad taught him! Their appreciation for nature is something I love!

 Family Four Wheeling!

This is our little piece of heaven! We love it up here! We saw moose, deer and bunnies this trip! Along with four wheeling and dirt biking, we peddled a boat around the pretty lake too! Everything up here takes our breath away...the sparkling stars, the dense pine trees, the cool air, the racing river, the open meadow, the quiet mornings.....awh....How Great Thou Art! Heavenly Father is real and Jesus Christ lives again! Up here there is no denying it.

Thanksgiving Point

 Kel told us they were getting family pictures done at Thanksgiving Point so we decided to tag along! We surprised Ky by checking him out of school early to get this party started!! He was SO surprised! Can you tell!?

 The two little boys! They make such cute cousins!!

 I love my nephews!!

 Amos loves animals!!

 Amos's first horse ride! Look at him clenching onto dad! He was pretty scared at first!

 Carriage ride!

Silly little boys! Curling their toys onto on another!

We had a wonderful day with the Boyacks! We love you guys!

Hogle Zoo!
