Proof of the CHaos!

Proof that she is a perfect mix between her mom and her dad!
Proof that my little on is getting older and it terrifies me!
Proof that Kapri has "cabin fever" and is ready for the warm sun...
Proof that there has been snow on the ground for 7 months and its spring now!
Proof that I am still married to this man, despite the Chaos! xoxo
Cousins in and out, lots of company, and Proof that we had TONS of fun with them!
Proof that Kapri is my crazy kid always looking for a laugh

Proof that you can never turn your back on a toddler, not even for a second! Also that Desitin does not come off with just water!

My IronDad!

My Ironman Dad will be going out for Ironman 2010 on May 1st! We are so excited that this year they chose to host in ST. George UT. It is normally in Hawaii so we never had the chance to go watch him before! He is the MOST inspirational person in my life and I love to watch his drive when he races. It honestly is almost spiritual.. to watch a man be so driven to finish the hardest tasks in life. He truly is my iron DAD! Go dad we will be there to cheer you on..:)

the bears are out

The bears came out of hybernation! My mom and I went last week for the last time with a group that I always go with. As we were trekking along, we noticed hoof prints and blood! Then we noticed the biggest print I have ever seen in my life along side the hoof prints! They were very very fresh print, it was snowing that day and prints wouldn't last long in the snow. So we all decided it would be safest to head back down the hill, and we all had kids on our backs. Later that week, one of the gals went back up with her family and came across a 8ft. Grizzly BEAR!!! It was relocated to that area and all I kept thinking about was thank goodness we were not its lunch the other morning! Creepy! So RIP snowshoe season.. You kept my butt in great shape, and taught me more strenght then I knew I even had. You bonded Kapri and I through trail after trail, and most of all got me out into the beautiful wilderness of the Tetons, that we call home! So long till snow falls again!

with love!

We have lots of new babies in our family this past year and more to come! I thought Kapri would be super jealous of them, being around or me holding them. But quite the opposite! She loves her new cousins.. she holds them.. talks in a high pitched voice to them.. tells me when they are cold.. pats there belly and back.. and kisses and caresses their faces! It's so sweet to see her take on the older child role and take care of something so precious. Yes this does have me contemplating having more children soon for her sake :) She really does have that nurturing side to her after all! Behind those mean toddler eyes it was hard to tell.
