Riding Horses

Today we visited some of our step-relatives on Grandpa Stan's side of the family. The kids got to ride horses, which they thought was an awesome experience.

And, for your added enjoyment, here are some videos of the kids riding the horses.

Meeting the Grandparents

Corah got to meet her Grandma (Ben's mom) and Grandpa Stan (Ben's step-father), along with several of her cousins (though the photo below only includes one of them). Interestingly, she does quite well sitting in a stranger's lap (at least a stranger to her).

Updated Family Photo

We haven't taken a family picture in a while, so we decided to drive up to the botanical gardens on the campus of BYU-Idaho today.

And, while we were there, we decided to take update photos of all our children. Enjoy!

 

Visiting Grandpa David

Ben's father died several years ago, even before we were married. With him being buried in Utah, far from where we live, our kids have never actually visited his grave. While the idea of not visiting a grave may seem a little harsh, the fact is that when you believe in a resurrection, the grave does not seem all that important. Anyway, this was the kids first opportunity to "meet" their grandfather, so we took a picture.

Happy Birthday Cailainn!

Cailainn turned four today. She got some books, which she is excited to read. She also got a Stuffy doll, which is a dragon on the show Doc McStuffins. She loves Stuffy.

She also did pretty well blowing out her candles by herself.
