I've been tagged!

This is the 6th picture in my 6th folder. Not sure if I'm playing right, but my photos are not organized at all right now. I have lots of folders that just have 1 or 2 pictures in them so I had to go all the way to folder 6 to make this work.

This is my baby Raegan, who is not much of a baby anymore. I had dressed her in her blessing dress that I bought off Ebay for $10. I wanted to get some pics taken before the actual blessing day because it tends to get busy. She was about 2 1/2 weeks in this picture. She will be 2 years old next month.

I tag Whitney and Jeralyn and anyone else who wants to participate. :)

Chili Cookoff Champions!

Ryan and Bo went to the father and sons banquet on Saturday. They were having a chili cookoff.

We have a great recipe that is Ryan's Grandma Muirhead's recipe. He decided to go ahead and give it a try and he won 1st place with it out of about 8 other contestants.

Here is the trophy.

Congradulations guys!

Snowmachine ride

This past weekend, I went on my first and probably only snowmachine ride this winter. I don't get to go often, but I sure had a great time. I went with my husband, Ryan, the Roberts', the Weekes', and Lerwills. Although, the Lerwills had to leave because of machine malfunction so they didn't get to actually ride with us.

We unloaded at Bear Gulch and rode a loop up past Pole Bridge Campground and ended up down at Mesa Falls. It was a beautiful day and a fun ride. My poor body is feeling the 55 mile ride though. And I am proud to say that I only got bucked off once and it was because I was trying to be adventurous and go over a small jump....sideways. Not a good idea, but like I said, I was being adventurous.

Here are some pics of the trip.

Family Home Evening - Tubing

Last Monday night, we got together with several families and went sledding just out of town. There were a bunch of little kids and a bunch of slightly bigger "kids." We all had a great time. Unfortunately, I was having such a good time that I didn't get my camera out very early into the evening so many of my pictures are a little dark. Here they are anyways.

After tubing, we gathered at our friends house for soup and hot chocolate and some good visiting. It is great to have such awesome friends!

Valentine's Day

I know I'm a little late on getting this posted.

We had a good day. Ryan presented me with a beautiful flower basket. He rarely gives flowers so I was thrilled to get them. And he had a friend personally make the arrangement for me. He was so thoughtful. Later that afternoon, we took the kids to Rexburg to one of our friends and they went for a sleigh ride behind his sleigh he uses to feed his cows. I think he was just looking for extra help feeding so he invited us, but the kids had a great time nonetheless. They said they would go feed cows again. After the sleigh ride, we were pretty chilled so we went to Joe's and got a hot chocolate and cheesecake.

That evening we went to a Valentine Dinner that our Young Women's group puts on for the adults. It is a fund-raiser for girls camp, but it is such a great evening for us adults. There was great entertainment and games and even a little dancing. It was a fun evening.
