Catherine and Noah have been visiting us this week. We went to the cabin for the 4th of July. The morning of the 4th we got up and went out to show them our favorite spot..."the canyon". It is so beautiful and Catherine and I wanted to hike down to the bottom...but the MEN decided to RIDE down on the four wheelers because they didn't want to walk back up the canyon. Well, I looked over and saw a four wheeler flying throught the air. I realized that Noah wasn't on it and started screaming to Todd. He jumped off and ran up to check on Noah. The four wheeler just bounced and rolled all the way to the bottom of the canyon. Noah only had a scratch on his leg. They finally found it at the bottom, but it is ruined! Todd's four wheeler got stuck and so we hiked back to the cabin...to 6 very sad kids waiting for their four wheeler ride. It took Todd and Noah 2 days to get the other four wheeler our. MEMORIES...it is a big one!! But we had fun hiking :)!

We were so excited for our friends Rich and Donna to be at Alyssa's Wedding!

This is our dog "Rocky". He is a bit subborn, but listened pretty well so I could get a few pictures. We rode the four wheelers out and foud this beautiful spot. Dallas said he thought it was better then Yellowstone! We love the outdoors and can't wait to move into our little house in the country!
