Our Busy Saturday

We had a really busy Saturday! First Hunter had his first wrestling meet (which he had only had one practice before it). He did great and had a fun time. It's crazy how some parents get so into it they are down on the floor shouting at their 1st grader and telling them what to do (which they are not supposed to be doing, parents were told to stay in the stands). The last kid Hunter wrestled again had a crazy dad that was yelling at him when Hunter would take him down, it's so sad and totally takes the fun out of any sport. I'm just glad that Hunter had a fun time even if he didn't win every match. From there we took the boys to a canyon called Balance Rock Park. There we did a little hike and mostly fishing, I just wish it was warmer than 40 degrees and not so windy. Wyatt only fell in the creek to his knees this time. We caught about 7 fish and 4 of them were pretty big rainbow trout. Then we headed home to shower and had the Schiewe family over for dinner and games. It was a great day, and we had so much fun spending time with our little family.

This is the poor little kid with the dad yelling at him, I felt so bad for him.

That big rock up there is why it's called Balance Rock Park.

We are down in this big canyon with walls of rocks like this on both sides.

Wyatt was so excited to reel in a fish.

We found this natural hotsprings on our little hike.

Hunter's Big Catch

Hunter and Tyson just got home from fishing tonight. They didn't have too many bites, but Hunter hooked a big rainbow trout that was huge for the little streams we fish in. Tyson also caught a decent size rainbow trout too.

Snow Spraying

Today we had a little snow storm that lasted a little more than an hour but it gave us a couple inches of snow. So instead of making our usual snowman I gave the boys water bottles filled with colored water to spray the snow. They had so much fun, but I had to keep reminding Wyatt to only spray the snow and not Hunter and I. And then of course we had a little snowball fight.

When I kept telling Wyatt to look and me and say cheese, he would spray me with his squirt bottle.



Wyatt started a snowball fight.



Hunter got him back pretty good.

Flying Kites

Today was another windy day, so I took the boys to the High School down the street to go fly their 1 dollar Walmart kites. We were only there for about 30 minutes cause it was cold and windy, but the boys had a blast. They both did an awesome job flying their kites, and we can't wait to do it again, but next time we're going to wear warmer coats and gloves.

Wyatt let all the string out on his kite and kept it up flying high in the air.

The one way up high is Wyatt's  (not bad for a 3 year old).

Boys Fishing

Last Saturday Tyson took the boys fishing at the creek up the street from our home. They caught about 6 brown trout. After fishing for about an hour Wyatt was playing with 2 of the fish that they had caught when he fell in the creek. He started to float the the creek a bit when Hunter jumped in and pulled him out by the hood of his jacket. Tyson took off Wyatt's wet jacket and wrapped him up in Hunter's jacket, and then gave Hunter his jacket. Wyatt laid there on the bank and fell asleep for about another hour, and then the boys came back home. I guess going in the creek wiped Wyatt out.

Valentine's Day

We didn't really do anything special for Valentine's day. Hunter had cereal, but Wyatt had heart shaped pancakes. They both has Valentine parties and as soon as they got home they both went through them and at all their candy. When Tyson came home we took the boys to Artic Circle to play and for ice cream cone. That's about all we did for our Valentine's Day.

This is the shirt that his friend Mason sent him, "Chicks Love Super Heros"



Telling me to not touch his candy.



Wyatt's Valentine from Ellery (the girl in his class that he ALWAYS talks about)

He wanted to eat his fun dip, so I poured it in a bowl for him to eat.

Well, after a few licks of the fun dip he decided to just dump of the sugar powder in his mouth.

Wyatt was telling me no more pictures.
