Family Time!

This past week Kip's brother Rick was in town. Kip took advantage of every opportunity he could to go spend time with his brother, I on the other hand seemed to be busy every time they were getting together. We love it when Rick is in town and always look forward to the time we get to spend with him. So on Saturday we FINALLY got family time ALL together and it was GREAT!!! Kip's sister Laurie and brother Rick drove out here with little Hailee (Laurie & Gregg's little girl) and we all set out on a hike right by our house. It was perfect weather and we ended up doing a GREAT 6 mile HILLY hike!! Up a hill, down a hill, up a hill, down a hill, but it was beautiful with all the wild flowers out and about. It was cool because we kids all got to spend some good time together! Here are a few pictures from the hike that I stole from Laurie (thanks girl)!
Laurie, Kipper, Hailee on Kip's back, Echo under Kip, and Rick!

Kip carried Hailee the first half of the hike and Rick the second, they got a great work out with a 1.5 year old on their backs and little Hailee was SO GOOD!!

Me, Echo, Kip, Hailee on Kip's back, & Rick (as you can see I needed that hike)!

When we got home I went and took some pictures for the Thompsons, why don't I just add a few of my favorites here to show you (I took these in the field right behind my house):

After pictures the rest of Kip's family arrived! We all ate Costco Pizza & BIG YUMMY cupcakes at our house, and then headed over to see the house that Laurie and Gregg recently put an offer on. We wish them the best of luck on getting that beautiful home but we really do not like to think about what an amazing deal they would be getting since at this point we totally over paid! O WELL!!! But good luck to you guys, the home is beautiful!
Then to tv and visiting by the fire in the backyard! We have this super cool fire pit that we love to light up when company is over. We were all outside for about 2 hours or so visiting and having a blast before everyone parted their ways and went home.
We love family time and had a great Saturday!! We are going to miss you now that you are back up in Idaho Rick!!!

Emily said...: Those pictures are great! That is neat if they get the house they want. Even though I do feel for you, for overpaying! But at least you have had your own home for awhile!; March 17, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Amanda said...: Such hikers! Your little Brooke will probably be a great one on hikes as well. I have no idea how Makenna would do with something like that.
And those pics are GREAT! You are such a stud, woman!
I miss you sis!; March 17, 2009 at 11:55 PM

Mommy Sarah

I am also an adventurous one and love to do my best to keep up with my husband. I also love the outdoors and love to run and ride my dirtbike as long as I am not crashing it. I am currently working as a bookkeeper/server at BJ's Restaurant. I am also in the process of starting my own photography business. I have been dreaming of this for years and finally decided to get it up and running. I love spending time with my husband and am doing all I can to support him through this crazy time in life while trying to get hired on with the fire department.

Little Brooke

Where to begin with this little girl? The first word that comes to my mind when I think of how I feel about our little Brooke is Pride! I am SO proud to be Brooke's Mommy, when I'm out with her I feel cooler just having her with me! I seriously can't believe she is mine! Brooke is so funny, she is a people pleaser, she is extremely intelligent, sweet, athletic, sensitive, loving, outgoing, and more! I can't think of enough good words to describe her! She is a pure joy to have in our lives and brings so much love and happiness into our home! She is the most amazing daughter and big sister! We are so blessed to be honored to raise this sweet spirit!

Baby Kipper

What a change this little guy has brought to our home! We will forever be changed by his sweet spirit and lively personality. Kipper is the sweetest little guy that is so easy going and so easy to please. He is such a happy little person and everybody that is around him just can't help but smile. We all adore him so very much! So far he has been so dang easy! He is a great eater, sleeper, snuggler, pretty much everything you could want in a little guy! Brooke adores him so very much and he adores her as well! I can't believe the love I have for this little guy and the connection I feel with him! I will say, I have a feeling Kipper is going to be WILD once he is on the move? We shall see?
