Happy Birthday Aaron!


Aaron finally turned 33! All he wanted to do was spend time with our little family, so we went out of town...not too far out of town, but we thought it would be fun to drive up the canyon and get some lunch and go on a little hike.  We went to Heber and ate at Dairy Keen, Aaron and I hadn't been there since our Honey Moon, so it was exciting to go back, but as we went through Heber we were so surprised that there were so many others that were there as well!! Turns out it was the RAGNAR that weekend and I guess the best thing to do after you run the longest race of your life is to go out for a burger and fries and the Heber Dairy Keen, because it was PACKED!!  None the less, we enjoyed ourselves and found a great seat with a perfect view of the overhead train, the kids were thrilled!

   Micah's first taste of french fries, we can't go back now!!

  Sharing a drink, but Eden just can't get her eyes of the overhead train....and did you notice all of those fries, or all the ketchup? 

 Train tracks overhead, they were fun!

Then we went on our hike, Aaron wanted to do Stewart Falls, but we thought it might be too much, a kind lady at the trail head told us of another hike that was half the distance to a different waterfall, better for young kids.  Unfortunately, we never found that trail and went toward Stewart Falls, after half way on the trail we knew we weren't going to make it, so we turned around and made it back to the car before the kids collapsed.  It was fun, but next time we'll try a smaller hike, the kids were good sports about it, but tired that night.  It was a fun birthday, thanks Aaron!!

  On the trail, we sure got dirty!

 Enoch was sure a champ, hardly complained and covered in dirt.

  Eden said she sure loves hiking, she can't wait to do it again. 

  Enoch slowly making it down to the car after a long hike...what a champ!!

Hello friend! You have such a cute family! I am the worst blogger ever and haven't updated in a long time, so if you haven't heard, we had baby #4 in January...little miss named Lydia. Maybe one day I will update the blog...not likely. Hope you are all doing well. If you are ever in the North Idaho/Spokane WA area, you should give me a call! Same number I've had for about four years now if you still have it! :)
