Hanging out

We were hanging out just relaxing Ashley was trying to read a book and I was trying to work on our blog but Ben and Hailey had a different plan in mind. They thought we should play instead.

4 Wheeling

The one thing Ryan wanted to do was do some 4 wheeling. So we strapped the kids in one of Pam's cool Jeep things, which took some doing. The seat belts all have these 4 point harness straps it was crazy it seemed like it took us forever to figure out which was the safest way to put the 3 kids to ride and then get them strapped in being one was missing a piece so Ryan had to get creative. But we finally got them all in and Ready to go.



The views were so pretty. The houses around were a range of big and gorgeous to cute and little. I would love to live up here, where there's tree's and grass and it doesn't get to get 120

Cute Boys.


Jacob enjoying the ride, I look back and he was sound asleep. He can fall asleep anywhere.

My cute girl.


my cute kids and more beautiful views.


Pam had this cool map that showed the route we could take up the mountain. When we got over there the road was closed I felt bad for Ryan he was so disappointed. So we drove around a little but every time we found a cool little road to go down it would dead end into someones house or a sign that private road. So we drove around and looked at houses, but it wasn't near as fun as it would have been to 4 wheel up the mountain. It was nice to spend time together as a family out in nature.

Getting to the Cabin

We are staying at Ryan's business partner Nate's Mother in law's Pam Cabin in Flagstaff. Getting there was interesting though. First I had to stop for gas, get everyone including the dog out and have everyone go potty and then we got food at the truck stop which had almost like a food court in it where you had option and of course no one wanted the same thing so we got everyone there different options and finally got back on the road. I didn't print out directions to the cabin because I have GPS well that was not such a good Idea because every time I got to the dot where the GPS said I was suppose to be it would Jump a few feet to a different spot. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke but when it kept happening over and over again I knew something was up. I felt like I was in a weird dream. Then I tried to call Ryan and he didn't answer so I did what I always do when I get lost and I can't figure out where I'm suppose to be. I ask Hailey to Say a prayer for us and I cry. So I kept trying Ryan and he finally answered, I yelled at him not answering and he helped me find my way in. I don't know what I would do with out him. I know I have GPS on my phone but Ryan is truly my GPS he gets my un lost more then I can count. It was so Dark by the time we got here I could hardly tell what the outside looks like but the inside is Beautiful. We are so lucky she has let us use it. Ashley was a little worried she was going to get stuck sharing a room with the kids but she really did a good job selling how COOL the upstairs loft was and how lucky they were to get to sleep up there. and they feel for it. So the big kids slept up there and Ben slept on the floor in our room.
