JAKE'S photo shoot

Last week it was Jake's turn to have Rachel take his picture. I think they all turned out so good. It has been really fun to see the different poses and pictures Rachel has taken of Sadie, Will and now Jake. I just love having my own little photographer in our home :)

Thanks Rachel for doing such a great job!!!

SKI SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

We had a great time skiing together again this winter as a family. It has been so fun this past winter to see how much the kids have improved. Sadie is finally able to go down some harder runs with the rest of us. Mike bought a GoPro camera this winter so he had fun taking pictures and videos of the kids. Now lets hope for some GOOD spring weather.

EASTER EGG HUNTS

After the adults each found an egg my dad said OK you can keep it or trade it without looking at what is inside. Well I decided I would trade it with my brother Troy. Lucky for him his egg had $2 in it and mine had $10. I think he got the better end of that deal :)

We missed you Melanie and Brad :(***GREEN RIVER EGG HUNT
Each family brought 10 plastic eggs for each child that was going to hunt eggs. It was so funny to see all these kids running around the camp looking for eggs. The kids had a great time and I am sure they will never forget this egg hunt.

All the kids ready for the egg hunt to begin.

***DEAN EGG HUNT
