The "Mountains"

Briggs has been talking about the "mountains" for weeks.  We had been planning on taking them to our ward campout, but then it rained(and flooded!) that day instead.  But he never forgot that promise.  So when I asked what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go on his birthday, he didn't miss a beat, and responded, "The MOUNTAINS!"  It rained again that afternoon/evening, but we went anyway!  It wasn't too bad, the rain was just enough to make everything good and muddy up there. :)


Anderson's little smile as we were all hanging out.  The kids were giggling really hard at about this time, and he was just happy.  

Beautiful sunset.  The pictures didn't do it justice.

Trying to light the candles.  The girls were supervising Jared.

Singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candles.

Eating dinner and enjoying the fire.

Love this picture.  Love this man.  He loves each of the kids so much and shows them all the time.  This was during a conversation about pre-school that day.

Love these kids.  My brother Zane gave Briggs some cheetos as part of his birthday present.  Dinner that night may have been 85% cheetos...

Waking up a little more.  I think the fire was popping and he was trying to see what was going on.

Who knew that one of their favorite parts would be the stairs and trail next to the stairs?  They ran up and down this for quite a while.
