Black Rock Ranch

The Edgrin's have the most amazing, beautiful getaway spot ever! I should say had. It is being sold. Everyone is so sad. They had a last weekend good bye so we went and it was bitter sweet. It was out first and our last time in this little slice of heaven. It was the same night as Monte and Dallin's snow campout so they didn't get to come. Too bad for them. Chance didn't want to sleep in an igloo and I think he made the right choice.

It is a beautiful house on a beautiful piece on land.

All the kids that joined in the good bye celebration pj party

All the mommies enjoyed the party too

Kristi, Rachel, Lisa, Britt, Annie and Aliciah
The kids loved riding on the mule.

John is a great tour guide. Nice and crazy!

Some of the parents took some of the kids on a hike

Jack Jack lost his shoe


The boys helped the girls over the stream

The parents that didn't go on the hike just hung out

The kids spent the whole day riding some awesome wheels. Trenton thought he loved the 4 wheeler...

that was until he tried the 2 wheeler. He fell totally head over heals in love. He could not get enough. He's a natural!

Chance enjoyed himself and he was a great babysitter.



Trenton and Mason took turns on the different bikes



Jackson loved the quad. Once he got on he didn't want to get off. He also loved the yellow helmet. If anyone else got on he would just stand there and wait for his next turn. He did a great job driving it. It did make me nervous watching him. I had to have Chance follow him because when I did I freaked out at everything he did. Go straight, keep your eyes on the road, slow down etc. He is only 4.

Jackson and Drew would take turns driving each other

The big boys


The little dudes



Thank you Rachel and Brad, we leave with memories we will keep forever. And a love for dirt bikes.

Snow camping

The scouts went snow camping at Bear Valley. It took them four hours to get there. They started building igloos at 8pm and finally finished at about 1:00 am.

This was a four man igloo. Dallin, Brett Higbee, Gabe Andersen and MJ Reagan all slept in it.

Monte slept in a tent but woke up in the middle of the night freezing so he went and slept in the car with the heater going.


The next day they had fun destroying their creation.



Later everyone went sledding. It was a fun, exhausting day.

Girls Gone Wild

What could be better then a girls weekend? We went to San Francisco and partied all weekend.

Night #1 we ate at Betelnut

Night #2 we ate at Le Colonial

Both restaurants were great! Nice finds Lisa.
Lisa, Rebecca, Britt, Kristi, Rachel, Annie and Donna (Annies friend from England who was in town for the day)

We ate and talked. Not much sleeping and not much shopping. We did find a great little store we all enjoyed. We had a great time. Learned and loved alot. Thanks girls.

Jack Jack & Alex & DS

These boys love to get together and play games. DS, WII, XBOX whatever!

Two left feet?

Something like that. I went to the gym with Annie, did a class then we went to scripture study. We had a good time. I came home cleaned the kitchen because Dallin made dinner while I was gone and then I took off my shoes. I had 2 different shoes on! I felt like Trenton (he likes to wear 2 different shoes). It was very funny. I called Annie to tell her and hear her laugh but she didn't answer the phone. She missed a good one.

Chancellor's stake dance

I forced Chancellor to go to the stake dance. He went to one before and hated it. A girl he didn't know asked him to dance and he said it was very awkward. We went with the Hinganos, Brandon and met up there with more kids from the ward. I had to keep telling him it would be fun. He didn't believe me at all.

The theme was Castaway so they brought Wilson.

Turns out Chance had fun. I knew he would.
