Mount Rushmore and MORE!

We took a quick family vacation to Nebraska and South Dakota. We went with 6 other families and stayed in a huge house in Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The house had 2 sides. Each side had 3 levels, with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, large dining room and large front room. The house was built in the early 1900s and was red brick with white trim and had a huge wrap around front porch (which Reagan and I spent a lot of time). The house was very old and hadn't been updated very much to keep the early 1900s feel. The fort had horses to ride, a huge indoor swim pool, a rodeo, crafts, tennis and basketball courts and a huge grassy area where the kids played football, baseball and lacrosse.

One day we traveled into South Dakota and went to Mount Rushmore. It was such an amazing day. Mount Rushmore was incredible and we had so much fun hanging out and shopping in the little town of Keystone. The kids had so much fun and the Black Hills area was so beautiful! The kids were all so good and had a blast! It was such a memroable vacation and I'm so grateful to have such great friends to travel with!

1 month!!

Wow!! Has it really been 1 month? What an amazing month it has been! Reagan Skye came into our lives and has stolen every person in our families heart! Words can't even express the love we have for this beautiful little blessing!

Happy Easter 2011

Annual Schenck Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza!!!!

We had our "annual pumpkin carving party" last night with the Schenck side of the family!! The kids had a lot of fun! Rylee carved her pumpkin with the New York Yankees logo! River carved his with a snowboarder on the front! Ryker did a "U" for U of U. Ridger carved a traditional pumpkin face. I made a peace sign, heart and "S"...for PEACE LOVE and SCHENCKS! And Trevor made a WSU pumpkin! We had a great time with the whole family!!

Fire Station Field Trip!

Ridger's first grade class went on a field trip to the fire station!! It was so cute! They walked across the street to the fire station and went on a tour of the fire station! They learned what to do if there is a fire in your home and not to be afraid of the firemen with all their equipment on. Then each child got to get inside the fire truck. It was so cute! I'm so grateful I was able to go and spend some time with Ridger, his cute class, and cute teacher!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

For the UEA holiday I took Ridger, Ryker and Rylee on a quick trip to Disneyland! River had some things at home he didn't want to miss, so he opted to stay home with Trevor!! We had such a great time! The boys were able to ride every ride so we didn't have to worry about someone sitting out! We had so much fun! We spent everyday at the Disney Parks with our park hopper passes. We alsFo ate dinner one night at Goofy's Kitchen and had lots of fun dancing with and meeting lots of the characters. Ridger and Ryker both had autograph books and spent a lot of time getting all the characters autographs! We rode everything they wanted to ride...a few times each!! Ridger's favorite rides were Splash Mountain, California Screamin' and Grizzly River Run! Rykers favorite rides were Tower of Tower, Soarin' Over California, Space Mountain and California Screamin'!! I'm so glad I took the opportunity and went and had an AMAZING weekend with them! They are all growing up so fast I can't believe it! I really wish I could just stop time and everything around us just to enjoy them even more! But we had so much fun and made some great memories!!
