YELLOWSTONE

 We went early in the spring so we got to see all the baby animals.  The kids really enjoyed watching them.

NEXT...The highlight of the trip.  They sure loved this water slide and the best part is the twins only wanted Jeff to help them because I was to short and couldn't keep them about water.  So I just got to sit back and relax in the hot tub and watch Jeff climb the stairs about 200 times.

The twins finally started going by themselves but I didn't get any photos because I was to busy relaxing and watching the beautiful snow storm. 

 

 Last time we went to Yellowstone Ammon was wearing this same shirt posed by this same waterfall with snow in the background...what are the odds of that happening.

We went on a little hike and on the way back to the truck we got surrounded by a heard of Bison. The twins were really scared.  As you can see by the look on Burklee's face, she didn't want to get down from Jeff's  arms for a picture.  Kinda Scary!

MAY BOATING

 Hers Pretty...not sure why she is making that face but she sure looks cute!

 You can tell by the look on Jeff's face that the water in early may is pretty darn cold.

I was smart and put on a full body wet suit!

SPRING SOCCER

 Ammon loves soccer and he really likes Coach Weir.  He will no longer play co-ed so we will miss having Nichole coach Ammon. It will be interesting to see if he still enjoys soccer next year without her.

 Best Buddies

 Fan club trying to stay warm.

MOTHER'S DAY

 The kids gave me these beautiful hanging baskets.

 My beautiful, classy GRANDmother!

 Trying to convince my dad to let me drive the 57 home.

No such luck :(

We decided to see how many grizzys we could fit into the 57 Chevy. Dad took us on a little mothers day ride on a beautiful Sunday evening.

WE LIKE TO RIDE

 Notice the goose in the background. Burklee loves to go on rides with daddy.

 Little Farm Boys

 Our little guy is turning into a crazy man on his dirt bike.

 Somebody has a hard time being a passenger.

 Kellan loves to ride his skater boy!

Burklee loves her big girl bike.

 On one of my early morning rides with Heidi I rode right through a patch of tumble weeds.  It took a while to dig them all out.  We sure love our morning rides! Best way to start the day!

EASTER

AMMON TURNS 7

 Ammon wanted a Mario cake for his family party

 For his friend party he wanted to play laser tag. They were all taking the briefing pretty serious. 

 

Such a crazy group of boys but they had so much fun together.

FINAL FOUR

 Excited to watch the first game of he Final Four!

 A little too excited after a hockey shoot out :)

 We were just a small part of such a big crowd!

 We took a relaxing and informative tour on river boat.

We got caught walking in the worst rain storm I have ever been in. The amount of water coming down was unreal. Luckily we found a Harley Davidson store that was selling ponchos!

WOW!

TWINNERS TURN 3

 They wanted Mickey & Minnie cakes this year.

 My little girl loves everything girly...

 my little guy on the other hand is all boy!

They love their new bikes.

They were so spoiled this year because so many friends and family took time to celebrate with them.  Buzz came all the way from Boise and Grandpa and Granny Brown came from Twin Falls. Of course Bonkin and Papa and Grandma and Grandpa Tingey came. Lots of  our favorite big kids came to celebrate as well Taylor, Tanner, Kristy, Joe, Ashlee and Courtney. Plus our awesome neighbors the Emile's and Budge's. 

We had such a fun day...so fun that Kellan wore himself right out!

MARCH MADNESS

March Madness indeed...we attended so many basketball games this season.  We had both the men's and women's ISU games to attend and also the Highland boy's games.

 The ISU women had a phenomenal season going 14-2 in Big Sky play. They won the regular season and got to host the Big Sky tourney.  They won the Big Sky Conference tournament and punched their ticket to the big dance.  During the selection show party it was announced that ISU would play the Miami Hurricanes in Spokane Washington.   So off we go to support our Lady Bengals...

 We stayed in a sweet hotel right along the river.  It was a bit on the rainy side but it didn't stop us from getting in some great runs along the river.

 Jeff and Steve excited for the game to start.

 Our local sportscaster Matt and his crazy pants!

The players got some pretty sweet looking shoes from Nike just for the tournament. 

We are so proud of our Lady Bengals! They had an outstanding season and we are so glad we got to be part of the journey!

BIRTHDAY #32

I had a wonderful birthday this year.  Ammon didn't have school so he took me skiing.  We had such a great time together on a beautiful warm, sunny day.  We basically had the mountain to ourselves which was fun. We were also having fun taking pictures of each other.



 Jeff said that Ammon really wanted to pick out my cake this year...this is what I got :)

After skiing we went to Holt to play Ultimate Frisbee, eat some yummy dinner from Chili's and have cake and ice cream.  We had so much fun with all our family and friends. Feeling SO Blessed!
