Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays!

February and March are the busiest for our family and birthdays. We celebrated Tanners, mine, Sammi's and Tessas. So this post is a recap of their birthdays. Tanner wanted to go camping and fishing for his birthday so that is what we did. We went to Roosevelt Lake and a couple other families from our ward came too. My camera's battery died after one picture so I got one of the big fish Trevor caught. Tanner didnt catch anything but he loved being in all the action and using his new fishing pole. It is kind of a joke that Jake loves to fish but isnt very successful. So, sorry Tanner you get all the experience and more experience! We went on a hike to the indian ruins and it was such a nice day. The kids did so good and even Tessa hiked most of the way. I had Makenna in the front carrier but Jake ended up carrying her a lot of the way up. It was enough of a struggle to get myself there! It was such a fun weekend, we want to go again soon. Thanks for the adventure Tanner and Happy Birthday Big Boy! We love you! Great big Carp!

Tessa just turned 2! She is such a sweet and fun little thing! We had family over and she was so excited for her birthday and loved to hear us sing to her throughout the day. She loves princess stuff and to dress up. Happy Birthday Tessa! We love you!

Sammi had a birthday party with all her friends. She planned it all herself and did a great job with all the games. She wanted Hawaiian haystacks for dinner and apple pie and ice cream. She is officially a teenager now and is loving the role, I am still getting used to the idea. She is such a good helper and we love to hear her laughing. She keeps us all on our toes. Love you Sammi!

Ragnar Relay Race

Jake participated in the Ragnar Relay Race last month with eleven other runners. There were some that he knew well and others that he didnt. There were the Sherwoods and the Smiths from our ward and our sister in law Julie and the others were friends of the Smiths. This was his first time and everyone else's too. They ran three legs each and alternated through the race. They had a couple of hotel rooms to crash in and take a shower when they were not running. He enjoyed it and will probably do it again next year. There were over 150 teams of twelve so it was a busy race. We went to the finish line at the end and Jake and his team ran in together. Go Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins. That was there team name!
