We added a blog about our trip to Ohio. We had such an amazing time there! If you are ever headed towards Ohio and enjoy hiking, check out what we did!

We spent our adventure in Ohio working our way up to the Cuyahoga National Park in Northern Ohio. Cuyahoga National Park is just a short distance from Cleveland But it’s rich history transports you to a different time! We started our adventures in the park with a hike. We took the short Brandywine...

It’s so beautiful...no filter needed!

Mexico is HOT 🥵 in July. The pool was much appreciated. The best part was that we pretty much had the pool and resort to ourself until the weekend.

One way to Mexico! 🇲🇽

What a drive! The border was fine. It got a little more real a little closer to Puerto Peñasco. We had to stop at a health station. They asked for our reservation details, Colter showed him the phone. He said we needed it printed out 😳. Then he laughed and said just kidding.

We had to get out of the car to have our temperatures checked and walk through a cleansing station. I would have loved to get a picture of this but I was gathering children and placing masks on faces.

Then we had to drive through a cleansing station and we were good to go!

Every time we entered our resort or any restaurant or store, we had our temperature checked and hand sanitizer places on our hands. Some places even sprayed our shoes.


By the way, it was one-way back also! Haha

Darby Canyon is definitely better in July than in March! Haha

This is how cleaning out the RV looks. Unfortunately this is only the laundry portion...🙃

We have been working hard lately! Working on rentals, spring cleaning...it was time for a snow-cone break!
What’s your favorite? Hawaiian style or all ice?

“This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.” I love this song! 1944 by Woodie Guthrie

Can hardly believe this girl is 6 years old today!
Happy, kind, loving, adventurous, curious and full of giggles.
Happy 6th birthday Tessa!

As promised...the man of the house, taking care of all his girls!

Just because I couldn’t walk any farther. Just Kidding!

This weekend at Mesa Falls we had to hike the road into it, which you can usually drive, because of all the snow! Colter carried Saylor the most (but she still walked a lot) Tessa some and just picked Blakely and I up for a fun picture. I’ll post the others tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Went camping this weekend then took a hike to Mesa Falls! It was beautiful.
This girl is beautiful! She is helpful and kind. What a light in our lives.

Many times we have to navigate through things. In life, with kids, most everything we are involved with.

Sometimes we have to cross bridges...even ones made out of a log. We can use our tools and get through them to get to the other side.

It is fun to hike with these girls. Saylor wanted to do it all by herself. She did it and felt very accomplished afterwards. (Thank goodness it was only a little stream.)

Went on a little overnighter. This girl 👧🏻 was made for it! She loved every minute. When you ask her, her favorite part was the fire 🔥.

18/04/2020

Time for a game! Who’s is who’s pile? Colter? Paige? Blakely? Tessa? Saylor?
Girls wanted to go backpacking! So here we go!
Quick overnighter.

Happy Spring!

My heart 💜 goes out to those affected by the tornados. I’ll take snow any day (even in April and even a foot of it!)

What a crazy time throughout the world!

Please join me! I know that God knows ME and sincerely cares for my desires and needs. We are ALL children of God. He loves each one of us. Fasting helps me to grow personally and spiritually. Come closer to Christ and plead for his help at this time.

Today I will begin my fast after I eat Lunch. Say a prayer that those who are working on controlling the virus may find a solution, that the healthcare workers may be protected, and that the economy may bounce back.
I will not eat dinner tonight or breakfast tomorrow morning.
Before lunch I will break my fast with a prayer that God will accept my sacrifice and bless those accordingly.

In the Bible they sacrificed lambs and animals, Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice and all we are asked to do to give up a few measly meals! Let’s do this! 🤛🏻

As is stated in the end: How do we fast? Two meals, or a period of 24 hours, is customary. But you decide what would constitute a sacrifice for you, as you remember the supreme sacrifice the Savior made for you. Let us unite in pleading for healing throughout the world.

Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is calling people of all faiths and beliefs to join a global fast for COVID-19 relief on Good Friday. He extended the invitation to the world during the Saturday evening session of the 190th Annual General Conference.

Having fun going through moms dance bag from high school.
I do have to say that I LOVE the smell of these shoes! 🙌🏻. They smell like brand new wood.
Do you have a favorite shoe smell?

Blakely made her own cupcake recipe today...
3 cups sugar, 2 cups flour, some baking soda, water and green food coloring.
This was after they were cooked! 😂

What a guy! He let me put my legs on his lap because my knee was hurting! True Love! 😘

I think inside he is crying 😢 because his legs are numb....🤣...ok he just had something in his eye, or did he? 🤷🏻‍♀️

We snowmobiled up to Granite Hot Springs today and had such a fun time with Colter’s family! The views never disappoint!

Saylor was crying when she had to walk up the cold stairs in her bare feet 🦶. Not because her feet were cold, because she didn’t want to leave. (I thought about crying because my feet were cold 🥶)

02/01/2020

Happy New Year! These kids are crazy...yes, all four of them 😂! There must be something about snow and hot tubs that make this activity so much fun.

Would you go lay out in the snow in your swimsuit all wet?

We were pretty tired of driving back to Idaho from Alaska so we decided to take a break.

We all rode the Hiawatha trail! This is a dirt bike path over an old railroad and in the beautiful Bitterroot Mountains. It is so fun. We went through tunnels and over high trestle bridges. Even 89 year old Grandma tried it out!

Next time we will be bringing our own bikes so the girls can ride on their doLittle seats! We were grateful for to rent bikes, headlights and helmets to us.
