The great outdoors

We decided we better go to the cabin while the weather was still nice and Rick was in town so it was a great time to go!


Rick made his famous chicken tacos, James made his famous guacamole and I just helped :)


After we ate, we played some games, chatted and of course Pa worked. We also went out on the Four Wheelers with the kids.







We came upon a cabin with this very weird contraption in their yard. Lance had to try it out. Let's just say it wasn't a great idea. Basically he jumped off the platform right into the dirt on his a#&! Ahhh, good times!

JAX!

Awhile ago Tanner was saying he wanted a cat for his birthday. Lance was asking what I thought of the idea and although I like cats, I wasn't too thrilled with it. We also decided it probably wouldn't be a good idea to do as a gift because Tanner would think it was only his, yet not take care of it!

Well, a little over a month after his birthday Lance had a friend at work who had rescued a litter of kittens that was abandoned. They needed to give a couple of them away so Lance sent me a picture asking if I was interested. That was the beginning of the end. I saw the picture and said yes immediately! We picked him up just before he was 5 weeks old. He was so tiny and cute and I immediately fell in love with him! Because he was so young, we had to bottle feed him with a mixure of kitten formula and baby rice cereal. He loved to eat, but was a bit hard to feed because he was so excited. We all had a fun time with it though!


He would not let go of the bottle for anything!
He really liked to sleep and cuddle up to us.

We kept him in the "Worlds Softest Socks" because he loved to be bundled up.

My babies!
