Visiting Cove Fort

Today was a fun day..we were so lucky as to "pawn" Tage off for the weekend, no just kidding, my mom decided to go visit my Aunt Shelia down in Henderson for the weekend and asked if Tage wanted to go with. Obviously I think we all know the answer to the question. All he could do was jump up and down and scream, "YES, YES!!" So we went and picked T up from school and on the way to moms he asks, " Mom you got me all packed up?" I looked over and Bart and all we could do was laugh and all I could say was yes. We got him loaded up and off they went. "YAY!!" I'm free is what I was thinking ;)

Bart also took today off and so we decided to get out and do something fun. We have all summer wanted to go to Cove Fort and finally we made it.

It was very enjoyable and took up the day which was very nice. Savanna had fun too as you can see from all the pics we took of her. She would pop her head into a room and look around for a second and then be gone outside, running and climbing on whatever she could find, the other visitors thought she was very cute, and of course Savanna would acknowledge them and smile and luagh and then run from them then they would just laugh. Our Tour Guide was Elder Barnes, he was the cutest little man, very friendly and he knew many things which made the visit very fun.

There were a lot of pictures taken of the rooms, the barn, the bunk house, the blacksmith shop....Savanna just basically ran around and played in the dirt and the rocks and at one moment when we were just standing around talking she thought it was funny to pour rocks in my shoe, needless to say I didnt think it was, but Bart sure did. Daughter like Father I say :)

Anyway....enjoy the photos, I know we enjoyed taking them.

A Ride Up The Mountain

Last Saturday the whole family decided that it would be fun to take a ride up the mountain, Monroe Mountain, to be exact. I had actually been sick, but getting out of the house was nice. So we went riding and the ride kind of turned into a ride/picnic. The weather was very nice and cooperated very well. I believe only once the kids got away from us and ran up the mountain. Paul ran after them and he said that it was a good thing he did because not far from where they were caught was a cliff. YIKES!!!!

The kids had fun climbing the mountain and playing in the dirt. They even found an old fire pit to play in, fun for the kids but not so fun for mommy when I had to clean hands and faces. Paul had even brought an elk call with and Tage had fun trying to bugle. Cason was great at doing the bugling, well, screaming into it actaully, but he sounded just like one.

Tage found this stump of a tree which was a great place to put the kids up on and take some pics. It was the perfect little seat for them to sit on. They were all so cute and it was fun to take them.

The Big 4 Wheel Ride

So the other day Mom and I decided to take the kids and go 4 wheel riding. We went and got the kids some helmets, which they got to pick out. Tage got one with hot wheels on it and of course sissy had to pick one with the disney princess' she was so excited. We had a blast! The kids sure had fun, they didnt even want us to stop for a break. We rode for I think about 3 hours. It must have taken its toll on sissy cause she fell asleep for the last part of the ride as you can see. It was actually quite funny how she just laid there and didnt even wake up. Anyway, it was fun and now the kids love the 4 wheelers and cant get enough of them when we take them out.
