Josh's Birthday

Josh turned 13 in February. I can't believe we now have 3 teenagers. The next few years will be very exciting at our house! Josh picked a very unique cake for his birthday. At the top of this money sign he asked for it to read "My dad doesn't have to work on the weekends because we're so RICH". You have to hear Josh say it with his accent. It is so funny! I love that boy! Paul doesn't have to work on the weekends, but unfortunately it's not because we are so rich. Happy Birthday Josh! You make our home full of laughter and hugs!

Goblin Valley and Arches

At the end of January we took a trip down south to Goblin Valley and Arches. The boys all left earlier to go pheasant hunting and I brought the girls down after school. I do not have the pictures of the hunting yet and I am not sure I really want to see them. We will have to see. I have not been to Arches since I was young and it was my kid's first time. We had a lot of fun! We went with Grandpa Daybell and Jeremy and Uncle Matt and his boys.

Rylan caught a lizard and he was so happy and excited. Of course he wanted to bring it home, but he chose to let it live. At least long enough to get away from us at the end.

We also went hiking up some narrows in Deadhorse Canyon by Goblin Valley. The kids had so much fun scrambling up the walls.

It was fun to hike to Delicate Arch. It is so breathtaking!

Goblin Valley was as fun as I remember it being when I was young. We played tag and explored caves and ledges for hours!
