Christmas 2013

We had a good Christmas. It was fun to have such a little one again that was into tearing the paper. We didn't get pictures of kids opening stuff this year. I don't know how we managed to do that. Our little town always has a program at the Town Hall on Christmas Eve and then after the program, Santa comes and the kids get to sit on his lap. The boys all sat on Santa's lap but Railey wouldn't. She is too old now. Rob kept Rexton at home because he had been teething and had been pretty grumpy. We had a fun Christmas day and we had a nice Christmas dinner. I took down the tree and all the decorations on Christmas day while the kids were playing with all their stuff. We knew we had a lot of people coming for the boys baptism in just a couple of days so I figured I might as well clean up the house and get ready.

Triplets 8th Birthday

The triplets turned 8 years old on December 16, 2013. We had cake and ice cream and presents. We didn't have a big party because we knew that their baptism was only a couple weeks away and we had a big TO DO planned for that. They got some fun presents but their favorite was their new .22 rifles. They got BB Guns a few years ago for Christmas but this was their very first .22. They were thrilled. It's hard to believe how fast the last 8 years have gone. We are so happy they are our boys. We love them so much!

Rob's Falcon Hot Rod

Back in December, Rob found this old 70 1/2 Ford Falcon Wagon and decided he had to have it. His plan is to make it a family Hot Rod. It already had a good engine and runs great but he wants to switch out the engine and do a bunch of stuff to it. The guy that sold it said he would meet rob in Farmington, NM. So Rob took the boys and they went on a Road trip. He left the boys at Grandma's house and he and Grandpa drove to Farmington to pick up the car. He loves his car and so do all of the kids. They think it is the coolest thing ever!

Rexton Walks

Rexton took his first steps on December 1, 2013. He had just turned 13 months old. He hadn't had any interest in walking. He scooted and crawled everywhere he went. He didn't even want to try to walk. But one day he decided to try it and he has been on the go ever since.

Halloween 2013

The kids had a fun Halloween. The boys wanted to be super heros again. Robby was Superman, Ryder was Spiderman, and Ranger was Batman. Railey wanted to do something fun this year so we decided on a Rodeo clown. She looked awesome. It was Rexton's first year to dress up. He was only 6 days old on the last Halloween. He was the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen. He did not like to wear the hat though. The kids had parades and parties at school and then we walked around town for trick or treating. They had fun.

Rexton's First Birthday

Back on October 25 (2013) Rexton turned 1. We had a few friends over to celebrate with cake and ice cream. We gave him his own little cake for him to dig in and then we had another cake for everyone to eat. He loved his cake and made a good mess playing in it. He loves cars and went straight for the car on top. He got some fun presents. He is such a happy and fun boy. We love him so much. He keeps us all smiling. Everyone adores him. We our so happy we get to be his family. What a special little guy his is!

2013 Hunting

So I have neglected to write anything for a long time. Life has been so crazy and busy. I kept telling myself I would get it done and catch up but I just can't seem to find the time. So I am going to attempt to post a few of the things that have gone on since last fall. Rob drew a bunch of hunting tags last fall. He always gets his Utah buck tag but this year he also drew a mule deer tag for Wyoming, a bear tag for the San Juan unit, an antelope tag for the Panseguant, and a cow elk tag. He actually filled all the tags. Railey went with him one morning for the elk and they were able to get it that day but we didn't get any pictures of that. These are a few of the pictures from some of those hunts. His Birthday fell during the deer hunt so he celebrated with a pink cookie. Railey spent a few days hunting with him for that hunt. He went to Wyoming with his good friend Darin and got a nice buck. He took the boys hunting for the Antelope and they had a great time. He went to Blanding and stayed with mom and dad for a couple days for the Bear hunt. He got a great bear. It was so pretty. He is having it done into a rug.
