January and February

Playing catch-up as usual.

January and February were jam packed with lots of activities and fun!
In an effort to catch-up and blog in real time, I am going to let the pictures do most of the talking. If I am being honest...that is all most people look at anyway, I am sure. :)

This little firecracker is quite a character! Really shy at first and then ba-bam! The personality comes out in full bloom...and it is loud! We wouldn't have her any other way. Not sure if I have mentioned it here before, but this little one can sing and has a beautiful deep voice from within. She is going to be very musically talented one day.

We took a little getaway early February. We did't go to far, but sure had fun!

My little explorers sure learned a lot about dinosaurs that day. 

February also brought our very first baby calf! Life here on the ranch is fairly predictable.

This next picture means...I am getting old! How could I possibly have a child in Driver's Ed.? 

These 2 are a lot more excited about Jes driving than I am.

Here she is at it again! 

This is a daily occurrence in the life of Dakota Rae!

Enjoying all the 36" of snow we had this winter...which has been never ending!

Jauncee participated in an All-State Choir the end of February. The kids rehearsed all day and then performed later that evening at the Concert Hall in Pocatello. The program was spectacular...until...it was ruined by some obnoxious kid who decided it would be funny to pull the fire alarm. That was the beginning of a long and cold day. Luckily Jauncee's group had finished performing and the next group was just taking the stage. We planned on staying, however, with a baby in tow and the cold weather, we just couldn't wait for the building to be cleared of any danger. Not knowing where Jauncee was and with the carseat, diaper bag, Jauncee's clothes and shoes, I made the 1 mile hike up hill to the car where Jauncee was waiting nice and warm in a vehicle with a friend. We may not have gotten to stay for the entire performance, but it was definitely a day for the books!
