Whenever I go through my pictures I'm sad I didn't take more. Of course from my posts you're probably wishing I didn't take so many. I just didn't catch some of the fun moments we had, but here are a few.
One of the things the grandkids love to do when we visit Snowflake is go feed the mules with Grandpa. Sometimes feeding them is a bit of a stretch. Sometimes it is dropping their food on the ground as the mules approach. This year the kids were quite brave and hand-fed the mules.
Grandma and Grandpa Brimhall's house in Snowflake is always a lot of fun. We tease that it is Grand Central Station, and it is. There is almost always someone stopping by to say hi. We get to see a lot of friends and family, and the kids get to play with a lot of cousins. My mom's brother Jim stopped by one day.
Braden loves my mom's Disney movie collection. I think he likes to sleep in that room just to be surrounded by all those movies. He loves to watch movies, if you didn't know. One night Rikki was staying the night when her husband was out of town and so she was sleeping in the movie room. We had Braden downstairs. In the morning I went upstairs and saw Braden asleep on the bed and thought he must have joined Rikki in the middle of the night. What really happened was Rikki was asleep and Braden woke up and went upstairs to the room and turned on the light. Rikki asked him if he wanted to find his mom and dad and get in bed with them?....nope. Did he want to come lay down by her?...nope. He then announced in no uncertain terms that she was in his bed and to get out!! Rikki felt like he if he was that determined to come up there in the dark in the middle of the night, she better get on out. She slept on the couch:)
Kaytlin found my lipstick. She got it on more than her lips! Her feet, legs, and face were all adorned with the lipstick--the little stinker.
Braden had so much fun with his cousin Gage's Indiana Jones costume. He really looked the part:)
I got to meet up with some friends from my old work at Phoenix Fire Department. It was great to see them again. Kaytlin was very tired and started to unwind in the sand:)
We stayed with Betina and Rob in the valley--thanks again for hosting us. We had a great time. The kids had a blast playing on the swingset in Aunt Betina and Uncle Rob's backyard. They played and played with their cousins. We also had a get together on Super Bowl Sunday--unfortunately I didn't get any pictures that day. We had some exciting moments watching our Cardinals almost win and were pretty downtrodden when they lost in the end. Cam and Addie came up and it was great to see them again. We saw Nathan and Mary Kay and Aaron and the girls (minus Chloe who was sick) the day before on our first fishing outing. The kids had a lot of fun throwing their lines out and mostly playing with the worms, yuck!
We went fishing three times at a lake not too far from Rob and Betina's where Rob guaranteed a fish. We had fun fishing even if we didn't catch anything...it's okay Rob. I don't know why I didn't get a picture here of someone actually holding a fishing pole?:)

We miss you guys and had so much fun with you here. I am still chuckling over the cute and funny things your kids did. You guys are doing a great job of raising them. We can't wait to see you guys again!
Your kids are getting so big. I need to go see grandma and grandpa. It's sad to see pictures and realize I am so close and don't take the opportunity to go visit. I really updated my blog this time so go check it out. Love ya Jess
It was nice seeing you guys, too. Loved the story about Braden. Its funny how much personality kids have at such a young age. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
We looked at this a while back and didn't have time to make a comment. Always fun to see the updates. Your kids are so cute. We get a kick out of them. We'd love to see you more often on Skype.
