Grandma Oba's Visit

At the beginning of April Daniel's mom came to visit us. It was a treat to see her again. We normally get to see her every two years, but this time there was only six months between the last visit. The kids were excited to see her.

Keanan enjoyed playing cars with grandma. He wanted her to play all day long with him.


Olivia loved grandma! She would run up to her and give her a hugs and kisses. It was just so cute!


Dan caught a rabbit during her visit. He tried to get her to cook it up for dinner, but don't worry we didn't cook it. It's still running around in our backyard somewhere. :)


This was a special visit because we were able to celebrate her birthday! I gave her a break and I cook her dinner. We had vegetable lasagna and homemade rolls. We only had three candles to choose from 3, 2,or 1 so I was going to say she was 21. Dan to over and being his normal funny self arranged them 321. Grandma thought it was really funny!


We had a great visit with grandma Oba!

Our Rabbits

We have wild rabbits that run around in our backyard. One day while Dan was weeding he caught a baby rabbit. He was so proud of himself! After he let it go he wanted to see if he could do it again. Well he did! He caught another baby one. A couple of days later he caught a big one but those pictures are on my camera. I'll post those when I get my camera back.

Home Sweet Home!

We are finally back home! We had a great visit in Colorado but the kids are glad to be home. They were really excited to see Dan and he was excited to see them. Now that I'm back I can get my blog updated. I won't be able to update everything because I forgot my camera in Colorado:(.

New Rule for Brushing Teeth

We had another exciting experience in the emergency room Saturday night. It all start when we were brushing teeth. I was brushing Olivia teeth and all of a sudden I here Keanan screaming in the next room. Keanan had decided that he wanted to brush his teeth on the bed. Well while he was getting into the bed he slipped. Normally that would be okay, but this time he had the tooth brush in his mouth. The tooth brush went through the back of his mouth or to be a little more specific the soft pallet. I took him into the emergency to see if he was okay. They took a CT scan to make sure he didn't damage anything. Luckily he didn't. He's okay and is his normal self. From now on we have a new rule though. While we are brushing teeth the door has to be shut and the kids have to be sitting in the floor not moving.

Unexpected Road Trip

I have so much to post but it's just going to have to wait. I ended up taking an unexpected road trip to Colorado. My grandma hurt her hip, so we came out to help her. My plan is to be out here for two weeks but it could be longer. I will try to update while I'm here but I'm not promising anything.

Road Trip Week Two

Utah Trip

We went to see Sydnee's dance performance the first night we were there. They put on Peter Pan. She did a great job! The kids had fun watching it.


The day before this it was beautiful outside. The kids played outside all day. Then over night it snowed six inches. At least Keanan finally got to make his snowman!


Visiting with great grandpa and grandpa.


FHE game and ice cream.



The cool playground in the mall.



Who is this strange girl?

Road Trip Week One

The last two weeks we took a road trip. Our first stop was to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. There we joined up with my Dad, brother and their family's. While we were there we went to a Wild Life Reserve, Four Corners, and Mesa Verde. We also spent a lot of time at the Hot Spring's. We spent a week there and then we headed to Orem, Utah. There we visited Daniel's family and played in the snow.

The kids were so excited to see snow!

The first morning that everyone was there the guys agreed to watch the kids, so that the girls could get out. We went and got our nails done.
