Horse Riding

We went for our first ride up the Mountains this year. The kids absolutly LOVE riding and they are doing so good with their horses.

Colton is riding our youngest horse Maggie. She is only two but is doing awsome. Thanks Jim and Brandy for giving her to us!!

Grandpa and Grandma Jense came with us and we stopped for a little snack before heading down. When we got to the meadow there was a bull moose there but it took off so quickly we barely had time to look at it.



We also hiked to a waterfall that Jeron thinks is the one painted in the mural at the Draper Temple. It was so beautiful and everything was so green. I love being in the mountains in the spring time when everything is so green and all the wildflowers are growing.

My little girl is growing up!! Kylee graduated from Pre-school this year and will be going to kindergarten this fall. I can not believe how big my kids are getting. By next year all of my kids will be in school all day.

Moab Half Marathon

Girls Just wanna have FUN!! Hiking in Moab.

We had plans for the whole family to make a little trip in Moab the weekend of my race but Jeron ended up having to stay home and plant hay fields so Shaylyn and I went together. It was fun spending some one on one time with her and to hang out with friends for the weekend. Shaylyn was at the finish line to cheer me on.

Ready or not!! Morning of race, it was a cold morning but warmed up quick. This was my first half marathon and was just hoping to finish it without killing myself. I finished in 2 hours and 9min. My goal for the Hobble Creek half in August is to finish it in under 2 hours. Jeron tells me I am crazy for running, but it is something that I have always liked doing and have always said that some day I would run a marathon......Well I am not getting any younger so now is the time. I drew out for St George marathon this October and have a goal to do it in 4 hours


Natural Bridges

On our way home from Fry Canyon we stopped at Natural Bridges and hiked from one brige to the next. It was a lot of fun and the kids did awsome, none of them complained the whole trip about being too tired to keep hiking even though we hiked alot. Even Kylee with her shrimpy legs did all of it by herself.

All of us on the way home. We stopped at the look out where the Green River dumps into Lake Powell.



Moon House Ruins

Wall art at the Ruins

This was how they built the ruins thousands of years ago, it is amazing to see that they are all still there.


This is the full moon in one of the rooms. It was on a wall with a half moon and a bunch of dots that people figure they used it like a calendar

Poor Jasper did not like having to be lifted up all the rocks. It is so sad to see her getting older and struggling to keep up with us




Camping Easter Weekend

Easter weekend we went to Fry Canyon to the Moon House Indian Ruins with the Beckstrom's , Hansen's, and Grandpa and Grandma Jense. The kids had so much fine hiking into the ruins. We had to do alot of climbing up and down rocks that the kids and the Dogs (especially Jasper) had to have help climbing. It was one of theose trips with the cousins that they will tak about for a long time.

We did some shooting while at camp


The first thing Dexter and Colton did was build a jump (with Jeremy's help) so they could see how high they could get their motorcycles
