Short Post

Just a couple of photos. Zach had his first week away from home. He attended Cedar Badge this past week. As a mom, I was a little worried about him getting cold, wet, hurt and everything else. I worried for nothing! He came home and said he had an absolute blast. He made lots of new friends and after being home a few hours said he missed it and wanted to go back. I guess I better take my cooking to another level. He said he had the best french toast ever while he was there. That's pressure!

I took this picture right after he got back. I think his pack was half his weight!

Happy Father's Day to Brett last Sunday. This is how he spendt some time after church. You can tell that his little girls think daddy is the best--and so do the rest of us. He totally deserves the pampering. We are all so glad for daddy and everything he does for us! We love you!!

Kacie turns 4!

Is it even possible that my baby girl is four? I can't believe how fast its gone. I can't really call her a baby anymore! She was lucky enough to spend her birthday at the beach during our Seaside trip.

All she wanted was to ride the carousel on her birthday. I was glad I could make that wish happen.

She will probably be the only kid to have their birthday at the beach. We love Kacie and the cute things she does and says. We definitely have more excitement in our family because of her!

Trip to Seaside

We had a great trip to Seaside the first of this month. We were able to go with my mom and dad and sister. It was a long drive, but well worth spending a week on the beach.

This is a picture of some of us in front of the resort we stayed in.

Nate had a blast playing in the water even though it was freezing cold!

This is the carousel in the Seaside Mall. Brayden and Zach just being funny.

Nate and Kacie didn't last long in the kids pool at the resort. This was the only time they swam in it. They went to the "big kids pool" every time after--which was every day and some days twice a day!

We rented paddle boats one of the days. This is the "loser" boat. We had them beat in the race every time, thanks to Nate who was sweating and red face because he wasn't going to let them win!

We had fun feeding the seals at the aquarium. The seals were really funny and barked at us to feed them.

It was a great trip and the west coast was gorgeous!

The kids found lots of shells and sand dollars on the beach. We had to bring them all home in a shoe box--I hope they don't start to stink!

Teton Dam Marathon relay

Oh what fun we had this last Saturday running with our relay teams!
This is the two teams. It was fun to run the same leg of the relay as Brett. He passed me, then I passed him--slow and steady wins the race!

Right after our leg of the race. Check out his farmer tan!

The "Hibbard Hot Mommas". This is a fantastic group of ladies. We are already planning for next year--oh yeah, we came in first for the all women's relay division!:) Looks like I am trying to push everyone over! I must be tired.

Tavaci at the Playmill!

Haley's Tavaci group had the opportunity to sing a few songs as part of the pre-show for the Playmill. We took the family over to West Yellowstone and ate at Gusher's before the show. It's our tradition to eat there when we go. We saw the play Footloose and enjoyed the evening.

On stage just before they started singing.

We had some time to walk around and visit the shops before the show. Just killing some time here and took a picture--what a cute bunch of kids!:)

Lights, camera, action!

Haley played the lead role in a short play her class put on. She did a great job and I was very proud of her. We may have a budding actress on our hands--who knew?

Spring Sports

We have spent our spring months watching the boys in their sports. I wanted to get a couple of pictures of them before it all came to an end.

This is right after Zach (#18) shot for a goal. It went right to the goalie--better aim next time!

Zach is ready to go! Zach loves soccer. I have a hard time keeping up with all the rules because its a game I'm not familiar with, but its a lot of fun to watch!

Brayden in the batters box. Ok, so I am a lot better at following baseball. He plays short stop and I think the ball has come to him 3 times all season. He has tagged runners trying to steal second out a few time so that keeps him on his toes.

Getting ready to hit--at least we can see his face in this one!
