TREEHOUSE MUSEUM!

This last week Scott went bear hunting so Dax and I went down to my mom's. My sister was there with her two boys. We decided to go to the treehouse museum in Ogden. The kids had a blast. There was a million things for them to do and play with. It was so kid oriented that I didn't have to tell Dax "no" fifty times. It was awesome.
Some of their rooms were life size chess pieces, an art room, a music room, dinosaur room, block room, puzzle room, medieval room, geography room and many more. Way fun, I totally recommend it to anyone with kids.

EASTER FUN!

Our Easter started off by going over to our wards Easter egg hunt. Each kid got to make a sack for their eggs they found. Scott did and excellent job at helping Dax with his. I love the bunny. Next we went to Scott's parents house and cut out and decorated sugar cookies. Each kid got their very own. It was such a nice day that all of us went outside to play. What a perfect Easter weekend.

Sunday Dax found his Easter basket and loved the football eggs more than anything. Next we were spoiled with dad being able to be with us the whole morning. We ate crepes and dyed some Easter eggs. Next we were off to the Easter egg hunt in Dax's bedroom. Dax thought this was way fun. He loved it and totally got it. He'd gesture with hands where's more? After church we all met back at Scott's parents house and took Easter pictures. For the most part the kids were awesome and as you can tell Dax really loves his cousin Addison.

Bear Down!

Spring time means bear hunting. This spring was no different. This is my third year trying to get a bear. Turns out it was my lucky year. The picture below is the country we were hunting. It is steep, rugged and very pretty. No fourwheelers, no pickups, just as far as your own two legs can take you.
This is a picture of my hunting buddy's father in law and myself. He used to own a hunting lodge near here and guided for steelhead and bears. He was gracious enough to take Casey and I out on this hunt. He is 72 years old and climbed the hills like he was 20 (I was going to say 30, but he outhiked my butt!) Just in case anyone is wondering, I'm the one on the right. We hiked for a couple of hours and finally got to the top of the mountain. We glassed for about a half hour and finally found a bear. Casey and I both shot once and both missed. The bear ran into the trees for a minute, but came out into another clearing. I fired my second shot at 458 yards and the bear dropped in its tracks. This is Casey and I admiring our bear.

When the bear went down it actually ended up rolling down the hill about 300 yards. This forced us to hike out using a different route than when we came in. We soon realized this new path would require us to cross a creek. That made for some interesting moments. I thought for sure someone was going to go for a swim. This picture doesn't really do the creek justice. It was running VERY fast.

We finally got back to the boat and called it a day. The bear is at the taxidermist right now. I'm going to do a rug mount and hang it in the living room. (Just kidding Athena) I had a great time. I was able to hunt with my brother for two days and really enjoyed his company. I got my bear the third day and saw even more beautiful country on the fourth day. Overall it was an excellent weekend.

27th!

For my birthday on Thursday we had Scott's family over and my mom and dad came up from Logan. We had a little barbecue, ate some cake and watched the kids be hilarious. Thanks to everyone for coming. That was really nice. What a great birthday. Thanks again.

Dancing Fools!

This is a video of Dax and Baylee dancing to the card that Chris and Crystal gave me for my birthday. They absolutely loved this thing. It was pretty entertaining to watch them dance.
