Spring Break and then some...

We have had some fun around here the past month. These pics are all out of order, but I kept adding and adding so here they are....

Taos, Avery and Carson climbing on the hay bales.
Celebrating my 30th birthday a little early with my two helpers. It is hard to blow out 30 candles alone!


Spring Break friend trip to the zoo. The weather was gorgeous. We had 14 kiddos and 6 mommas! What a crazy and fun day. The ones who made it in the picture are from left: Taos, Avery, Carson, Averi, Brynlee, Carter, Ellie, Lawson, & Callie.

My happy boy!

These pics are from before spring break, but I had to put them on my blog. Casey and I got to take a ski trip with good friends - the Cochrans and Gibsons. Here we are relaxing in our condo... I wish we could go back soon!

My sweet baby is growing up too fast

Avery made a huge pile of pillow and was jumping off the chair into the pile!!

And of course Taos had to do the same!

Over spring break we had family and friends help with some branding. Here are the troops gathering the cattle.

This is one good looking cowboy... who knew he is only 22 months! The boy has no chance but to grow up and be a cowboy like his daddy :)
