What we have been up to!


 Our Kitty Coco had three little kittens so the kids have been taking good care of them!
Justin's enjoying being "COACH" for Carden's baseball team!  
McKay finally decided he loves the POOL!  
This boy just cracks me up!  He loves doing everything the kids do including putting goggles on his head!

McKay is a PUZZLE boy!  He loves to figure things out and put things together.  He rather have a cup with a lid than a toy.  He loves putting a cap on the chapstick.  Loves putting a necklace clasp into the other side.  Loves putting his sippy cup lid on his cup.  Loves putting the plug in its outlet.  Loves putting his shoes on.   He has steady hands and is good at concentrating on small little things.
McKay is coming up on 18 months which means NURSERY is around the corner.  Brooke and Rhead were 18 months when we moved out here to Visalia and now we are moving again as McKay will now be 18 months.  It has been exactly two years living here.  Justin said it was like experiencing the mission!  Yes, I guess I can look at it that way.  We got to experience a new lifestyle living in the country with four little ones.  We have definitely grown as a family both physically and spiritually!
It was a hard two years but a great two years that we will always cherish being close to Grandma and Grandpa.  
But now it is a time to move forward.  To open new doors.  Make new friends.  Get used to neighbors. Enjoy being close to our cousins!  Carden and Rhead bring in their suitcase filled with their close every morning asking if TODAY IS THE DAY WE MOVE CLOSE TO LUKE AND COHEN!!!  It is sure cute.  We are now down to FOUR more days!  


 The kids are sure going to miss the POOL!  The kittnes! The cows! The snake! The birdies! And of course Grandma and Grandpa!  
It has been so fun watching these kids all remember how to swim again! 
Here is Carden below doing his "DIVE!"
Haa haaa LOVE IT!

Hill Adventures!

 Herding Cows...
 watching squirrels...
 he didn't even try to run!
 Finding hidden snakes...
 almost stepping on them!
 Almost thought it was a rattlesnake!
Watching baby birds hatch, waiting for the kitty to have her kittens!

No need for a ZOO pass when you live on the HILL!!  We have had many HILL ADVENTURES that will always be remembered!

-Carden was bit my a snake (gopher snake).  Came in with two little dots on his nose.  No blood but said it hurt. I asked him what he was doing by a SNAKE! He said he was just going to spit on it!

-Justin almost got charged by a crazy cow trying to turn the water on down by the well at midnight.  Instead the cow got spooked and ran through the barbed wire fence.
