Kyson's Second Birthday

My family celebrated Thanksgiving on November 21st so everyone could attend. The day before, Kyson rode my horse with me for the first time. He was a little timid at first and a little intimidated by Sam when we went to catch him in the pasture. He quickly warmed up to the idea though and was thrilled to ride bareback around the yard with me. Heather has those pictures on her camera though so I will have to get some to add at Christmas. I do, however, have some photos from his second birthday cake and presents....we celebrated after Thanksgiving so the whole family could participate. It was super cute to see him playing his guitar. After the family left, he would stand up on the fireplace hearth while playing and singing will all the energy a two year old boy could possible have (and if you have been aournd 2 year olds recently, that is a lot of energy). We think he might be on his way to being a musician someday. Sayla also had her first bite of "real food" during our meal and Kyson was proud to be the one to feed her. She was excited to eat some dressing and potatoes...small quantities of course :-)

National Parks

On the way back from Washington, we were able to make a few stops to site see along the way. The first place we visited was Arches National Park, which was really neat! Timing worked well for us that day as we were able to arrive right as the park opened. The light was perfect on some of the arches and we drove around to see quite a few of them. It was a neat place to visit. The second park we saw was called Mesa Verde. It snowed the night before so there weren't too many tourists around :-) Some of the sites were closed as well, but we did tour one cliff dwelling called the Spruce Tree House and another dwelling called Far View (or at least I think if I remember right). It was neat to see how those people built homes and lived off the land. Just thought I would share some of the photos and sorry they are kinda out of order. I am a little tired of being on the computer because I have been processing A LOT of photos recently. Just wanted to keep up with the blog as our life continues.

The Truck

So I promised friends in Stehekin I would post a picture of all the things we fit in our truck (this is for you Monica) and here it is. We only had to leave behind two Rubbermaid tubs and two plastic crates and about four cardboard boxes. Now..Steven had that truck packed like a jigsaw puzzle so when we camped...all things had to be returned to their original location. We did fit all the things in it though and here is a picture of it all packed at Arches National Park.
