Stealing Daddy's Hat

Lately Koriann has really been into wearing hats, especially daddy's cowboy hat and his ball caps. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen, she runs in and grabs his hats and then takes off like a maniac running around the house. The best part is when she teases Zeke with his own hats, she wil act like she is going to put it on him, then she will hurry and put it on herself and take off and hide. Koriann is such a joy to have around and I don't think there is a cuter stage than where she is at right now.


I love this picture of my two favorite people.

Playin' With Daddy

Koriann loves to Ride on her daddy's shoulders.
Here's Koriann and daddy playing 'Bucking Bronco'
Isn't that the most innocent face you ever saw?
We love this little squirt so much.

Valentines weekend

So this is way way late, but I thought I better post about it anyway. Zeke and didn't really do anything for Valentines day because we had my cousins 4 kids come and stay the weekend with us. It was actually quite fun, plus they keep Koriann entertained. We did go bowling and have pizza though. I must say though having 5 kids to watch was tiring, I felt exhausted when they left. I had to have a 3 hour nap to recover. They are such good behaved kids, it's fun having family close by us now.

Montana

Last Wednesday Zeke and I had to take an unexpected trip up to Great Falls, Montana. Zeke's grandma passed away, so we had to go to the funeral. It was a really nice funeral, seeding at she wasn't really into organized religion. We decided to leave Koriann with my parents. It was really hard for both of us, especially me. It was the first time being away from her for longer than a few hours. Koriann did great with grandma and grandpa, I think they also had a blast with her. We left thursday morning and didn't get their until around 7PM, it was a very long drive. Zeke really enjoyed being able to see his family, he hadn't been up there since her was about 16. We only stayed one night in Great Fall, then we drove back to Idaho Falls and stayed friday night. It was really nice just the two of us. We got up Saturday and drove the rest of the way home to see our little princess, we both missed her so much.

Good By Laundromat

Yes, we are finally able to do laundry at home. I have never been so excited. I have hated going to the laundromat to do laundry, it is so time consuming, plus expensive. I thought after we left Monticello I would never have to step foot in one of those dumpy places to do laundry again. I had to drive 30 min one way just to do laundry, for two years Zeke and I did this. Then we had a washer and dryer in Colorado, it was heavenly. Thank goodness it hasn't been to long without a washer and dryer. My dear sweet grandma grace is giving us her old ones, actually they aren't even old, she just wanted new ones before she retires. So Zeke and I are the lucky recipients of the old ones. I am so excited to have a washer and dryer again. I actually love doing laundry, if it's in my own home. I love the smell of laundry detergent and dryer sheets, but most of all the fresh, warm towels. So thank you Grandma Grace, for saving us from the evil and grungy laundromat.

Huge Update!

So we haven't posted forever. Time just goes way to fast. We finally left colorado and moved back in to northern utah. We are so happy to finally be gone from that ranch. We never knew that people could be so dishonest and so crooked. But while we were their we made some really great friends, and was able to go explore the country. I love colorado and would like to someday move back over by montrose area. Who knows it may happen sooner than we expected. We have been looking at buying a ranch in that area, it is a steal of a deal. Buying a ranch and actually having our own place is our dream. We honestly don't care where we end up as long as it is ours. No more working for other people and sacrificing for there ranch, it's just not worth it. Zeke loves his new job, and the hours are great. We are looking at renting a place so that he is able to make and build his boots and do his leather work. Zeke has already been making a few bull whips, and some of the locals in this area want him to make them some. The weather here is freezing, I really hate that part about this area. Oh how we miss Moab, in truth that is the area where we want to be. the red rocks and mountains are so close, plus there is so many thing to do within 100 miles. But for right now we are in the middle of nowhere. We have so much to be thankful for, and are forever grateful to our families. We hope in the next few months to take a vacay to Moab. We would really love to show Koriann where her daddy is from and where he grew up, I know she will love the all the rocks . Koriann is getting so big and talking up a storm. Her latest thing is to dance when ever she here's music playing, it's hilarious. We love her so much and are so grateful to have her in our home with us.

Here's some cute video of Korian dancing and feeding daddy popcorn.
