Hiking the M!

-


The little kids have been begging and begging to hike to the M on the mountain behind our house.  The M is for Morgan and a much loved community  touchstone.  The kids have heard all about how cool the hike up there is from their local friends and want to get in on the action too.  Loyd and Xavier hiked up there with the Young Men from our Ward and came home with stories of nearly sliding off the mountain and barely making it home from this crazy hard hike.  Maeve, Owen, and John hiked the M the following Friday morning nearly sprinting up the steep trail the whole way with lots of energy and no troubles or complaints the whole way.  HAHA  I think the big kids need to get out and exercise more often.  John has been so excited about hiking all the way to the M by himself that every time he sees it he has to tell me, "I hike the M all by myself!"

Wild flower break for Mom and Dad on our way up the trail to the M.  I just love the red rock and the beautiful flowers.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
