Catch that Leprechaun!
Leprechaun time! I thought my kids had forgotten about this tradition and I wasn't sad about it, but they had not! Cohen came home all excited about his idea to catch a leprechaun! They worked hard with their cousins all afternoon to come up with a sure trap.
That dang smart leprechaun did not get caught this year but left some green treats and dropped a few coins to prove he was there. He also made a wreck of the traps so it must have at least slowed him down!

Lyman Vacay - Bear Lake
We just love our family vacations with Grandma and Grandpa and all the cousins. They look forward to it and talk about it every year. We are so grateful that we get to have these experiences and it wouldn't happen if Jed and Candice didn't feel so strongly about them. They work so hard to iron out all the details for every family and they do so much work to get food and all the extras thought about and prepared. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
This year we went to Bear Lake. It was an incredible cabin with the most spectacular views. The house was so equipped you didn't even need to leave its walls. Some of the things we did: tons of crafts, movie nights in the huge theater room, ate and ate, played basketball, hung out, went sledding, played "One-Up" on the tramp, played on the indoor playground, played golf indoors, slide down each level on the slide next to the stairs, had family pictures, played games and so much more. It was seriously amazing!
There was no shortage of snacks for Mason. He just helped himself and no one there was going to say NO!
Coy and Aleyah had the best time together, inseperable.. I love it. They explore and imagine for hours!
The sledding hill was amazing! Endless snow and hills. You could go forever if you wanted to hike that far back up! It is hard work getting to the top of the hill! It's also is very dangerous. Some adults were all going down together holding hands and Livvy was just in front of them and wasn't on her sled right, so she stopped mid-hill. As the adults turned backwards in their ride down, they plowed over the top of Olivia. It was the scariest thing for me to watch. It was going in slow motion as I screamed for a halt that could not have happened. She is one tough little cowgirl. She gulped down her tears as much as she could until she got to my arms. Jeremy to the rescue carried her up the hill.
She was hurt more than she let on. She wasn't able to jump on the tramp or anything too rough the rest of the trip. It was pretty sad. I sure love this girl and would die if anything happened to her. Luckily she made it back to her old self by the evening.
I can't say it enough how awesome this long weekend was. Our family pictures turned out to be not great weather, in fact it was down right COLD. My kids did an awesome job doing their best to imagine it was summer. So. Much. Fun.

Bad Hair Day!
This 4 year old does not like his haircut! I tried to explain that even though I cut it too short, it would grow back in a couple of days. He did not agree. But he sure is dang cute! Of any of my boys, Coy is the most picky about his hair. Since this pic, he has decided he likes his hair smooth and not spiky. But no matter how he decides to have it - he makes sure it's up to his standard before leaving the mirror!
