Yellowstone

You read right, it says Yellowstone, and yes we are crazy, and yes it was freezing, and yes it was a blast! I would do it again in a second! We spent conference weekend up in West Yellowstone, leaving here Friday morning, and staying there until Sunday morning. So much fun! Buffalo were everywhere, and we rolled Brendyn's window down in the midst of them. One was so close he could have reached out and touched it if he was brave enough, but he knew I would kill him if he did. The fear of mom, not the fear of buffalo held him back. Ammon was bouncing up and down in his carseat with excitement. Ha, ha! It was so fun to watch those two! There was snow on the ground, and seriously the minute we arrived Brendyn was throwing snowballs at me. Don't worry, I got him back. Unfortunately he taught Ammon, and the two ganged up on me. Too bad for them I'm super-mom, there is just no match for me!

Tractor time!

Is there anything better than riding a tractor? The boys sure don't think so, but they don't know what it's like to drive it! (I felt very cool, I even parked it in the barn). A few weeks back we got to drive around on a couple tractors for a while. It was a hit! There were two tractors, so we split up and all rode around at the same time. Brendyn wants to know when we're getting one. Of course! I could see that question coming a mile away.

Pumpkins!

Happy Halloween! We're getting pretty excited about it around our house. For family home evening this week we just had to carve pumpkins. The boys thought it was great, but they wouldn't touch the pumpkin "guts", only mom is brave enough to do that!

Zoo!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Preece came to visit us and we had so much fun together. The ultimate highlight was our trip to the zoo. We even saw a white alligator there, and cool fact, it was not albino because it had pigment in its eyes, it was just a genetic mutation. I was rather intrigued. The boys loved every animal that we saw, they couldn't get enough! It was a funfilled day, and our three boys, (that means Grandpa too), konked out on the way home. They were just plain tuckered out.

I love dirt!

Whenever I let the boys play outside, this is what happens.
