First camping trip

About 3 weeks ago, we went on our first camping trip for this year. We just went out west, but it was tons of fun. The first night was really windy, so we had to spend most of the night in the trailer. It wasn't to bad, Jon let us borrow his generator so we could watch movies which Deegen loved. He thought that we fun. Cassidy did pretty good during the night. Only waking up twice, which is about normal at home. Of course Deeg was out all night and didn't even hear Cass crying in the middle of the night. The next day was tons better. In the morning we drove up on the 4 wheeler to an old eagle's nest that was on a cliff by where we were camping. Gus ran along the side of us. By the time we got back, he was so tired.

That afternoon Trevor's parents and grandpa came out and we did a little target practice and some skeet shooting. We had a blast. I always have fun doing that. I'm not that good, but I like to pretend. I'm trying to get ready for the up coming Turkey hunt. I need a lot more practice.

That night we sat around the campfire and played with the kids and watch Gus run around with Deegen. It was nice to just sit and do nothing. Not worry about anything. Your only worry is running out of firewood. We had so much fun. It was such a shame that we had to go home. Sometimes I wish that we could go for a long while. Hopefully we get to go a lot this summer.

Trevor and Cassidy. They are both so cute!

Cassidy is starting to smile for the camera. You just have to act like a fool to get her to.


Deegen always wanting to pose for the camera. It's funny cause his smile is so fake.

Easter

We tried to get a good pic but you know how it is with 4 kids. They never look at the same time.

I know that Easter was a week ago and I'm just getting around to post pictures about it. So many things to do with so little time!! Easter was a lot of fun. To start things off, we went to the Varney's for their Easter egg hunt on Saturday. Deegen had so much fun, running around and trying to find the eggs. They were only suppose to gather 20 small and 2 big eggs, but Deeg just kept finding all the small ones (Cole would find all the big ones) and would put them in his basket. So several times I would have to dump his eggs out and have him count them to me and of course we would have to hind the extras that he collected. Deegen loved every minute of it.




That night we went home and dyed our Easter eggs. Trevor was getting into it as much as Deegen was. Trevor would put an egg in and let it sit for a while and then put it in a different color. By the time he was done, the egg was an ugly brown color, but Deegen thought it was so cool and had to do it to his eggs as well. Trevor and Deegen made fun of me because I would just put mine in girl colors. But mine turned out the best!!! Of course!

Our lovely colorful Easter eggs!!


Easter morning seemed liked another day because Deegen still doesn't realizing that it's Easter and the Easter bunny comes to your house. We had to bring him downstairs and then that's when he realized that the Easter bunny did come. His face was so funny. We had another small Easter egg hunt in out basement and Deegen had a blast because he didn't have to put any of the eggs back. All in all it was a good Easter, but next year it will be tons better cause Cassidy will be running around.

Cassidy

Cassidy is almost 6 months old!!! I can't believe it. Today I cleaned out her closet and boxed up some of her clothes that are too small for her. It was a sad moment. Some of those outfits she only wore once or twice too. Her personality is staring to show more each day. She loves attention and staring to like the camera (thanks to Torie). She loves to roll from side to side and lay on her side but she will not complete the roll over from her front to back because she HATES being on her stomach. We will lay her on her stomach and she will roll to her back within a second. Its really quite funny. On Thursday night she slept through the whole night! It was so nice. But of course I still woke up around 3 to make sure that she was ok. I guess its a mom thing because Trevor was still sound asleep.



Cass loves to chew on her clothes.

Big Horn Sheep

We went up A.F. Canyon a couple of days ago to see if you could see any animals. Of course we saw some deer but we also saw a herd of big horn sheep. Which was kind of cool. We were hoping to see some males but all we saw were females. But it was still fun. Every time we go up the canyon, Deegen falls asleep but as soon as we tell him there a deer or sheep, he jumps up and looks out his binoculars. Sometimes I think he just says he can see them but really can't.

We bought a new trailer last weekend. Well it's new to us. It's a 2005 Mallard barley used. It will be so much fun having it for this summer. It would have been a pain to take Cassidy camping in a tent. Trevor is so excited. We can't wait to use it. Hopefully the weather will warm up and melt the snow so we can use it soon.
