Happy B-day Kaden

Today is Kaden's Birthday and he has turned the big 4.

What all can I say about Kaden, well for one thing he a little ball of energy and he gives his parents a run for their money every single day. He loves and I mean loves Hummers, Jeeps, trucks, and we can not for get anything that looks like bumble bee (Camaros). His new found love is going for as many bike rides in the course of a day as his parents will take him on, with the hiden agenda to find and ride through as many puddles as possible.

He is also a very smart little boy and loves to use that knowledge finding ways to tease his sister.

Since kaden has come into this world he had kept his parents on their toes, and we are sure he will find many more ways to surprise us.

A much needed break

This week we were finally able to take a break from the house, so Sydney really wanted to go fishing and of course Kaden wanted to ride the 4 wheelers so we were able to do both. We went up in the wind rivers and road the 4 wheelers in to a little brook that is alot of fun to fish in. Sydney learned to put her own worm on her hook and towards the end she was also taking the fish off of the hook all by herself.

Kaden caught his first fish, but after a couple of fish he was ready to go back to riding the 4 wheelers.

Yellowstone!!!

Thursday we decided to take a trip to Yellowstone with all of the Steffensen clan and Grandma and Grandad. We spent alot of time in the car but the beauty of Yellowstone is always worth it. We started our day with a picnic lunch and Old faithful. Yellowstone has so many guysers and hot spring that is impossible to visit them all in one day.

The animals of yellowstone are just as impressive, I can not even remember all of the animals that the kids recorded in their animal guides, but the most impressive was a grizzly bear with her three cubs and the amazing Yellowstone Bison.

We were so excited to have all of the Steffensens and Grandma and Grandad. Thanks for making the long journey.

Martins Cove

This week we have had some wonderful visitors, Grandma and Grandad Chatfield and Aunt Mariam and her kids. So Tuesday while Kiley and Grandad went to work on the house the rest of us headed over to Sixth crossing and Martins Cove. We pulled some hand carts, visited a blacksmith shop and all of the kids compleated their activity books so everyone recieved a prize.

What a group!!!
