Valentine's Weekend

These pictures are in no particular order, sorry. We had a ball with David & Sharon, Anthony, Cara, and kiddos coming down for the weekend. We started the day with chocolate covered strawberries, so of course it was going to be a good day! This first picture is of David and Sadie, petting the dog, Monkey. Sadie is nuts about puppies and dogs - even Monkey's size didn't phase her.

Loving the Valentine candy!



Sunday, coming back from meeting, David and Sharon were behind us in their car. David took this picture to show how slow Morgan was driving at one point. I laughed because I was in our car, thinking that David was going to think Morgan was driving like an old man. :) Morgan does love to look around while he drives and invariably slows way down - which leaves him wide open for us to harass. :)

This was a short hike after our picnic lunch - so pretty and relaxing.

Anthony - David took lots of great snapshots of each person through the weekend.


Morgan wearing his pink neckrag to celebrate V-Day! Ivey approved of it, you can be sure.

Morgan had to shoe two horses before we hiked - so we watched and David did some good documentation of it. :)

The girls all had curlers in their hair the night before, as per Ava's instructions. We're convinced Ava is going to one day be an event planner. She had this day planned from what their hair was going to be like to how many balloons we needed, to what the cake needed to be. Cara and I just had to follow her instructions for a great party. :)




Shane, Luke, and Andrew climbed like little mountain goats all day. Cara followed them up one huge rockpile and said she was amazed at how they were jumping from one boulder to the next with no thought of caution. Yikes! Here is Shane at the end of the day - Luke looked the same. The result of climbing high and scooting down rocks that were too steep to walk down. We all had a good laugh over their britches being in shreds.

After the first hike, Sadie was so sleepy that she and Daddy found a sunny spot and she napped on him while we all climbed some more.


David and Sharon are so much fun! They came laden with Valentine goody boxes for the kiddos, brisket to make an awesome dinner for us all, their fun dog, Monkey, and lots of witty humor. They introduced our kids to pixie sticks...see below. :)

Shane next to some petroglyphs we went to see. You can see that Shane has one lone front baby tooth that has its own personality these days. It is sort of here, there, and everywhere; enjoying the attention it gets and refusing to come out. :)

This was zoomed in as far as I could go with my camera. These two were WAY up high on a pile of boulders. I think they would have climbed all day, had we let them!

Pixie stick fun....






Andrew and the girls enjoying a sunny spot for a minute.





There's a picture overload for you to make up for such a long delay in updating. :) Have a great day!
