After the Zoo trip Tyrel had to spend the rest of the week working in Tuscon.  Me and the kids enjoyed time with Sarah and going to Cassidi's.  The kids as always play hard when they are with cousins.

Spring Break 2015

This year we spent spring break in Arizona.  After my mom got diagnose with cancer we tried whenever we could to visit my parents when they were Arizona.  My mom was up for spending the 1 day off Tyrel had that week going to Wildlife World Zoo.  Carrie and Jayd also went with us.  It was a hot day but we made it mostly through the whole park!

Easter 2015

Very rarely do we have an Easter in Colorado where they aren't hunting for eggs in the snow.  But we got one this year!

Cooper did his first AAU tournament in 2nd grade.  The only tournament they got in before baseball started was in Ignacio, CO.  Some of his friends he played with were Lincoln Forkner, Tay, Brian Veech, Gabriel Cowley, and Kaiden Wyatt.His coach was Dusty Veech. Also a special surprise when he showed up was he played a couple games against his cousin Chayton!

Snow Storm February 2015

In our house we love snow storms!  Cooper and Trip don't even mind getting out and shoveling.  Of course they all love to be pulled by the four wheeler on their sleds.  Rowdy even had a blast going out as long as he stayed where the snow wasn't too deep.  This snow storm produced a really heavy snow.  The snow was too heavy for one of my favorite lilac trees.  It was completely uprooted.  Peyton loved how the heavy wet snow turned our willow into a snow cave.

Happy 10 years! February 2015

What an amazing 10 years!! Our original plans for our 10th was to go to Mexico with my parents and siblings to celebrate their 50th.  A few weeks before we were supposed to go we strongly felt like we were to stay home.  So since we already had Tyrel's mom coming we got a hotel in Grand Junction, Co and got a way for a couple nights. I am typing this a year and half later so hindsight is 20/20, but on that drive to Grand Junction we drove through a town called Montrose. After that trip I could not get that town out of my mind and from there we prayed and decided when our house was to sell we would move to Montrose.  So it was a blessing in disguise to go to Grand Juntion instead of Mexico. Even though Mexico would have been nice also!!
