Six weeks, sunshine, yellowstone and CUTE KIDS!

Well lots has happened in the past week...first off, Logan turned 6 weeks! Holy cow, time flys! We have also finally received some sunshine and warmth. The kids are really enjoying having nice days to be outside. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed off to Yellowstone for the weekend. We went to the bear and wolf exhibit and McKinlee loved seeing the animals, and jumping in the puddles. Then on Saturday we drove through the park, and of course stopped at Old Faithful. The weather was great, but I couldn't believe how much snow the park still had. Because of the snow we weren't able to see very many animals. We did see the usual buffalo and elk. It was still a great trip because we were able to be as a family for the first real time since Logan was born. I have put a slide show together that will recap a lot of this...enjoy!

Mother's Day, Naps and Houston

Jared took off last Thursday for Houston to see his brother and be there for his son's baby blessing. So, the kids and I headed to good old Poky for a few days and to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a great time and enjoyed some much needed sunshine! We missed Jared TONS and after hearing about how great Houston was, we are very excited to go visit Adam and Jenna someday.


Mom and the CUTEST kids in the world!


McKinlee LOVES Grandma's flowers!


We had to go to Idaho Falls today and sweet sweet McKinlee snuggled in with her 'silky' and took a nap. I couldn't resist not taking a picture! For some reason she was insisting on wearing the hood up on her jacket..she can be so weird and silly sometimes.


This is from Logan's blessing day. We are blessed to have 4 generations of Colsons!


Jared was able to sit and get some good snuggle time in with our new nephew Caleb. What a cute kid!!


But as soon as 'snuggle time' ended, Mario Cart began!

Family fun and blessing day!

So I just had a whole big thing typed up and when I pressed save it deleted the whole thing...So I will type it all again and hopefully it works this time!

This was a busy busy week! Last weekend until Wednesday night Jared was gone so Grandma and Grandpa Mayes came up for the weekend, and Grandma and Grandpa Colson came up from Monday thru Wednesday. We had lots of fun and each of the Grandpas got some really good snuggle time with Logan..and I am sure they hated every bit of it! We then had Logan's blessing on Sunday and had a house full of family. It was GREAT! We had my brother Bill and his family up from Nampa, Jared's Aunt Carol, Uncle Scott, and son Connor up from Salt Lake, Great Grandma and Grandpa Colson, and of course each set of Grandparents and Aunt JuJu. It was a weekend full of TONS of food and lots of fun! The weather was beautiful and it allowed McKinlee to go to the park and creek and play. All of the snow is FINALLY gone in our yard and all I have to say is "It's about time!!" We are about to have another busy week with Jared leaving to Houston for Adam and Jenna's little boy Caleb's baby blessing and me and the kids heading to Pocatello . It will be nice when life can slow down a bit and we can all be at home together as a family for a while.

Enjoy the pictures, and I will be adding more to the slide show shortly!
