so the day of my birthday my mom and i planned on taking a sleigh ride. since it was during the week abbott got to tag along with us. so my mom, the kids, and i went up the canyon and met this guy who gives rides. it was so cool! the kids loved it! and so did we. it was about 18 degrees that morning. pretty cold! but we dressed really warm so it was fun. these are pictures of us on the sleigh ride...
as you can see the sleigh had no sides. we sat on bales of hay. so we had to hold on to the kids so they wouldn't fall off. elaina got a little concerned but everyone had a great time. the guy owns some elk so he took us out to feed them. the kids had a great time with that!!
so once we feed the elk he took us all around his property . it was cool! so here's video of us on the move..
when we got back the guy was nice enough to let abbott and lex sit on the horses. abbott still talks about sitting on the horse. elaina was too scared to do it. lol she's so cute.
well after the sleigh ride we took off to our next adventure and we went sledding. i've been wanting to go sledding on my birthday since we've moved to utah. and since i was in charge... we went and had a great time!!! here's the pictures from that..
i carried elaina and the sleds up but made the boys walk. but everyone went down a bunch of times. even elaina. and she loved it! :)
after that we all came home and the kids slept really well and i got ready for the final phase of my birthday.
the day before my birthday i decided i was going to have a party. and since i really love cows i had a cow party. i invited our neighbors over and also my friend hannah and her son henry. we went to go see some cows cory and i found on a drive about 20 mins away from our house. the kids had a great time feeding them.
after we saw the cows we came back to my house to eat pizza, play games, and have cake. it was so fun to have everyone there. i love having parties and it was great having family and friends around. here's the start of the party on video....
we played pin the tail on the cow, a game called blind cow, and a versen of "don't eat pete" but we had "don't eat bessie". the kids had an awesome time and as long as my kids have a great time i'm very happy. here's some pictures i took of the party itself after the games...
abbott's birthday was in the beginning of march and then it was mine and then we just went last week to a cousin's birthday party. as soon as lex gets wind of the words cake, or party, or presents his one track mind says that we need to have another birthday party. it was so fun! :) one of the best in my life. here's to another 30 years :)
