Bear Claw Yurt

Spring break we went to the Bear Claw Yurt. it was very warm on the ski/walk we didn't even need coats.  When we got there Chris and Greg did some hatchet throwing and Ryker shoveled snow.

After having a wonderful campfire with the flamingos that afternoon, Chris made some wonderful campfire pizza.

We woke up to snow the next morning and we played around in it.  Ryker had fun sledding down the snow cave on a shovel.  Ryker and I went on a trek with our snow shows and had a great time.  It looked like a storm was coming so we can back to the yurt just as the snow started to come down.

I had gotten up several times the night before to stoke the fire and one time I missed the handle and got a pretty good blister from it on my finger. Everyone was playing outside so and I was so tired I took a nap and when I woke up-a couple hours later- it was a winter wonderland outside. Complete with a Tom Selleck snowman. 

Greg tried to repair the chair as the kids went to bed. We woke up to 14" of snow it was crazy!!!

With all that snow the flamingos are almost buried.

After a fun morning of shoveling off the now from the deck the kids enjoyed a fruit snack while I re-wove the chair.

Alana was being a pill so I dunked her head in the fluffy snow. 

Ryker took a few pictures of the yurt.

The weather cleared out and it was gorgeous day to play in the snow!

MMMM...spaghetti and cleaning dishes.

Yeah! Flamingos!

We cleaned up, restocked the wood, and headed out!

It's my Birthday!

Today I shared my birthday with Ryker's preschool class and they gave me a crown! 

Coaching on your birthday

Chris's birthday just so happen to fall on the same day that he had a volley ball game.  So we made him a present (its a Reese's peanut butter cup trophy) and cake and then headed down to Kearn's for the game.  We had a great time and the whole crowd sang to him (which he loved all that attention).   We went to Five Guys after the game and had some delicious burgers for his birthday dinner.

Valentine's Day

This Valentines day was amazing. We each got flowers; mine were natural and Chris' were made from bacon.

 Ryker was taking our picture and we told him we wanted us and the flowers so Chris didn't get his head and then you can see Alana is smelling the roses or going in for a bite... I'm not sure.
