Look who's TwO!

Kody turns TwO!
Kody had a wonderful little birthday party on Saturday. He really enjoyed himself and the friends and family that came to eat cake. I really think for once it was all about KODY and he really loved the attention. He was awesome at unwrapping his gifts. He got Lincoln Logs from Aunt Shareen and Papa Scott! A bike helmet and bath toys from Auntie M, Cassie, and Braden! New clothes, shoes & socks, a toy truck & trailer w/ a four wheeler, and horses from mom & dad and brother Shane. Gramma Bonnie and Gramma RaNae/Grampa DeVon were also there for the fun. Thanks everyone for making it a special day for KoDY!

Bloomington Caves


It was off to find the Bloomington Caves for our Sunday Rhino adventures. We had gone two weekends ago, and got off Geo Caching and missed our turn. We did lots of treasure hunts so we didn't miss the caves that weekend. This one was fun too. I have combined pictures from both trips since I am having such a hard time posting.
The caves were pretty neat! We all went down to see what it was all about. It was pretty humid once you went down below and it really opened up a bunch. It was a tight squeeze to get in and felt a little hard to breath.
We sure wish we were better equipped with BRIGHTER flash lights. It was really dark once we got all the way in. On the ceiling had drops of water dripping. Shane said he was a "little" scared. Kody just was wide eyed the whole time, saying "hold you".
It was a little like walking crouched over. The ceilings were a little low. There were not too many places that you could stand tall. Shane could though! :)
See, Shane still crouched over even though he was sitting down. We had so much fun!

I am so BIG! Next weekend I will be TWO!

Great foodies (lunch), fun hikes, lots of smiles, a happy snow woman or Josh anyway, treasure rocks, and lots of dirt! Kevin and Josh were like little boys in Grade school while in the caves. I can't wait for warmer weather, but it sure is nice to live where we do.

4th & 4th

If you're reading this, i TAG you! {PLAY ALONG}
I got this idea from a random blog. This is what you need to do.
1. Go to your picture files on your computer.
2. Go to the 4th folder.
3. Pick the 4th picture in the 4th folder.
4. Post it and tell what you remember about the picture, if anything. NO CHEATING!
-this is my 4th & 4th:

This picture would have been a cool fall day at Diamond Valley before my parents fled off to Mexico for the 6th or 7th trip. Shane would have been 3 1/2 years old and we went up the street to feed the neighbors horses.

Flunky Cabin

Diamond Valley Rhino Ride II


It's like a NEW tradition I would have to say. It doesn't really matter what day it is as long as we have the time to do it. But lately we are lovin' every minute of it. Riding with a group of great people; friends and family, it's awesome! Today we took a trip to Diamond Valley and hit the other side of the valley on Blake & Gubler Road. This one took us up towards Pine Mountian. We saw some of the leaves changing bright reds and yellows, but most of the trees where we went were burned from the big fire that was up there 2 or 3 years ago. We all took turns shooting guns, searching for geo caches (8-10 new ones I think), and kicking back and having some clean air blowing through our hair with a little dust too. Below are some of our pictures of the day.
This is Flunky Cabin. I have no idea when it was built, but there wasn't much left of it to say the least.

This is the house that Flunky Built. Along with a guy or gal maybe named Lamb, and Rourke and Hartwar?? I don't remember the Plasterer name.

Diamond Valley Rhino Trip

Ok, so today we were lookin' for some fun on a Sunday. We loaded up early, drug the kids out of bed and headed for Diamond Valley where my mom & dad live. It's a little cooler up there (about 10 degrees) but everyone of those degrees helps, right? You BET! I didn't get a lot of pictures, but it was an ok trip. The weather was warm, but not hot, and the group of us was awesome. Mom & dad took their four wheeler, Josh & Nikki w/ their Rhino, Scott & Shareen w/ their Rhino, and Desi rented on with her Gramma Norma. It was fun and always is a great time with everyone. We packed up lunches and ate while we are on our trip. With a flat tire on Josh's Rhino we still have fun. They limped it back, having to air up every so often. We even did a couple geo caches! Now we have another 34 miles to add to our trips! Below are some of the pictures of the day....A beautiful canyon on the back way from Diamond Valley towards Silver Reef.




This was a pretty neat signature rock. We didn't stay long enough to do our name!


This picture of Kody is by one of the geo caches that we found. It's clue was wash your hands and then use the air dryer to dry them off. Not too far away was a water pipe that actually blew air out of it sticking out of the ground. Below is Shane pulling out the treasure.
