Seeing Santa!!!

We went to the Christmas Parade, and had a great time!  The kids loved seeing Santa.  Talon asked for Wii games, Ryker asked for a Didj, and Hunter---well, Hunter just wanted the candy Santa was giving out!

Thanksgiving at Mesquite, Nevada!



We went to Mesquite, Nevada this year for Christmas to do some riding in the dirt and sand. We had so much fun! The scenery is breathtaking, and we had some great memories. Everyone asks us what we did about Thanksgiving dinner--we at at the Virgin River Casino! They served a delicious Thanksgiving feast complete with all the traditional Thanksgiving trimmings. Clean up was a cinch! That was nice.













Josh and Jared being crazy on Jared's Razor. Yikes!!!
























Ryker and Talon sliding down dunes.  Hunter, Ryker, and Talon had so much fun in the red dirt. A boy's paradise!!

      Peek-a-boo, Hunter!!

The City of Rocks

My best friend growing up, Brandy Hackman, her family, and the boys and I got together Friday after Thanksgiving at the Valley of Fire while Josh was motorcycling with his brother and friends. We had so much fun! I didn't know my boys were such climbers. They about gave me a heart-attack watching them climb up these rock cliffs. They had a blast!!!
