Moved to Idaho!

Here are the best people in the world...My family!

When we got to Idaho we had to pick up some loose hay from them bailing the night before...Tradition and we took my grandpas truck out which is now my dads to pick it all up.  This is a favorite past time and now sharing it with my kiddos.  Thanks dad for the ride in the truck!

Later that day we headed up to Donnelly and let our horses out into the pasture.  Our Philly looked like she might have sprained her ankle after running around n the pasture.  We hope she will be alright.

Gideon's Baptism

When we are 8 years old we come of the age of accountability and we believe then is the time to be baptised and to make a 2 way promise with our Heavenly Father to always remember him and to keep his commandments.  My 8 year old son took this upon himself on the 4th of July weekend.  It was a beautiful time with family and feeling the spirit.  

The program went as follows.....

End of May

So the other day we had something scary happen.  We had just gotten out to the horse and Joseph was getting Haidas' halter on to go out to the pasture and his back was turned to Arya and our Filly Arcadia kicked Arya and she flew threw the air and came down and smacked the ground with the side of her head.  It was a scary moment.  Arya had a huge goose egg about the size of my palm on the side of her head and a mark (that is still there) on her hip where she hit the ground.  It was a scary moment but she ended up being fine and does not walk behind the horses anymore.  So glad she is alright!

More pictures of us out at the horse :)

Enjoying our Sunday afternoon

The boys enjoying the nature hike.  They love this.  They get the walkie talkies and head out without mom or dad and go discover.  They are going to love the ranch for that.

Water in my boots Awwwww :)

Max our neighbors dag chasing their remote control car.  My boys love to play with their daughter Anna.  They all have a good time hanging out in the garage, slip n sliding and just having fun.

I just bought these PJ's the day before and here I am letting her play in the mud with them.  She is so cute and having a good time and just let her.  That is how laid back i have become with 4 kids :)
