WY Antelope day


If you have some free time let Kiersten tell you the tale of this hunt. It is quite amusing to watch and listen to him explain it. I really enjoyed it and I did my best not to laugh and offend him! He is quite the story teller and really gets into it~ Great job Kiersten. Make sure to write your story down so we will have it later on too. I have to agree with Kiley, you sure have "a dad smile"

Happy birthday boys!

So, all of our birthdays have now past by....

Kiersten and Kiley are officially 16! We started the day in Dry Fork at the "run into fall" a 5 mile run. Kiley signed up, and he took 3rd place for the men's division. How cool is that for his first 5 mile race? Good job Ki, we are so proud of you! I was so thankful to be back in town and be able to cheer him on at the finish line. Kael, Kim, Kiersten, Judy and Chuck also got to congratulate him on his wonderful race. (thanks a million Chuck for escorting me back to Vernal safely to be here!!)

Then we headed to the newly re-opened water slide. The boys were very excited as it was a surprise and they didn't know we were going with some friends and family. (there were not many in attendance due to all the sickness in Vernal, but they loved every second of being there with the people that were able to attend) They were most excited that they were able to persuade their dad into joining them. They got LOTS of mail (thank you so much to everyone that participated they said they enjoyed all the mail) and gifts but I think that was the best gift they got and they really enjoyed him "playing" with them. Kiley even told him that he should be required to "play" with them at least once a day. LOL It was very windy for a bit but they were troopers and still made the time worth while even while freezing!


They gave us their best muscle pose and then also their best nerd pose. I think they have them both perfected to a tee!

Kael is officially 1! He is also a professional walker too. He was walking quite well before his first birthday. As expected he didn't get much joy out of opening gifts, but he has really enjoyed all the great things he got after the fact. Kim made him a special cake made with Zylitol instead of sugar (not that you would have known, it was DELICIOUS!) and he really enjoyed every bite he got. Then as with every other meal he made sure the animals were given their fair share. The dogs were put outside (as it is not good for them) and BFK loved getting it all to himself. HE LOVED IT!


Happy happy birthday boys!!!
