A great weekend...

So the girls have shaped up a bit, good enough to shoot their guns for the first time. We went out past Molen, a tiny little town in Emery County, and found a place to set up some cans. We thought we were going somewhere that had less snow, but we found more snow. Oops!

Kayla isn't quite strong enough or big enough for her Red Rider BB gun, but we were able to figure out a way for her to get some shots off. I think she was a little overwhelmed by the whole experience and she gave up fairly soon. But she did great and had a lot of fun.

Abriana did very well shooting her Cricket. The first cans we set up were about 30 yards out. She wasn't able to hit one because we found out her sights need some adjustment, but she sure was shooting in the same spot every time. So I told her to shoot at the closer cans that we set up for Kayla. Bam! Her first shot went right through the middle of the Dr. Pepper can! So she aimed at the Coke can, BAM, again right through the middle! I think I have a little shooter!


She was having so much fun, we had to tell her it was time to go when the rest of us got too cold.

Then we did what we do and love best - drove around exploring. And what a beautiful day it was!














You never know who or what you might come across out in the sticks. The long-horn on the left thought he was 'king of the hill' and was still there when we drove out hours later. The one on the right wanted to cross the road in front of us and was so close I couldn't pass up taking a picture, besides its horns are not normal. They are growing up and back, instead of the usual out and up.

When I first saw this rock I told Jason we need to plan a trip to Goblin Valley. Then when we got a closer look I realized it wasn't a goblin, it's Elmer Fudd petrified.

Cheyenne found a new way to entertain herself. She plugged her ears and was saying "AAAHHHHH" as we went over bumps. We all had a fun filled Saturday.


Sunday we went to SL for the first WSS of the year. It was so nice to see everyone and spend the day with one another. What a great idea! I was so tickled to see Cheyenne warm up to everybody - finally! everyone else can see how cute and crazy she is. And Grandma Linda got enough hugs and lovin' to make up for all the other times Chey was being a stinker. The kids can't wait for the next one when they can have more time with their grandparents and cousins.

When we came home we found these guys hanging out in our yard, freezing and starving. After talking to the neighbors and not finding where they belong, I have called the city to have them picked up. Since Kayla and I are allergic to cats and Ruger hates puppies, it's best for us to find them a place to be. They sure are adorable and snuggly though.
