Disneyland

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Disneyland. What a perfect age to take Katie. She was totally immersed in the magic.




She was able to meet some of her favorite characters. Her first night there she bought herself an autograph book and has filled it!


She is a roller coaster lover, and went on all the fast rides she was big enough for. This is her and Grammie on Thunder Mountain.



She took Daddy high in the sky in this rocket.



Even Clint got in on all the fun. He wasn't a fan of most of the rides, but he loved looking at everything and wearing his Mickey ears.



We went to breakfast at Ariel's Grotto and Katie met a lot of princesses.


Clint was having a tough morning (he was pretty tired) and Snow White commented that her dwarf Grumpy had shown up for breakfast too!


Princess Aurora was beautiful as well!


And Cinderella wowed us with her beauty!


Last, Belle was there to say hello to Katie.


We met Pluto...



...And Mater, and Lightning McQueen too!



Clint got some squeaky Disney toys and he and papa played with him while the rest went on a ride.


Grammie, Papa, Daddy and Katie went on a river rapid ride. It amazed all of us that Katie was brave enough for all of it!



She did a ropes course at California Adventures too. The trip was so fun and so quickly over. Next time we'll have to spend a few more days exploring the parks!



But for now we are pretty pooped out, and happy to be home getting some rest from such an awesome adventure!

The Big Birthday Boy!!!

Clint turned 1 this month!!! The last year went by so fast!! He is such an amazing little man!!!
We had his party this past weekend with family and friends joining us to celebrate.



This is Jenny, Clint and Katie's babysitter. Clint was so excited to see her, and love on her like he does each day!! How lucky are we to find someone that loves our kids as much as we do!!!!


This was the cake from Clint's actual birthday. He was more willing to try it since there weren't people around watching him.
And this is the cake I made him for his birthday. Not to bad for a first time!!!

These are some of the party guests!!
...and more. These girls are our babysitters on the rare occasion Rick and I remember to go on a date!!! I think the last one was our anniversary, in January. We are overdue!!!


Clint got a ton of presents but was a little shy that day. But the next morning he found his birthday balloons. Fun and games ensued! You think Batman ever looked that cute?!?!?! Happy Birthday Clint!!! I love you!!

New Dust Catcher

Remember WWWAAAAYYY back in October when I posted the pictures of Rick's first Antelope?? Well our neighbor is a taxidermist and told Rick that he wouldn't mount the head for him, but would teach him how to do it instead. It takes a long time, and it is difficult but Rick finally got it done.

Today this beauty was hung on our wall. It is very pretty, and Rick did an amazing job.

Teach a man to hunt he can feed his family, teach a man

taxidermy and he can decorate the house!
