Happy Birthday Ben

Yesterday was Ben's Birthday- and ever since Nick's wedding and the kids did THIS:

They've been anxiously waiting for Ben's birthday so they could carry out their plans of THIS:

Happy Birthday Ben! You are the BEST!! You are such a wonderful husband and father, and we appreciate you and all you do!

WHAT?!

You mean Andrea actually updated the blog! (shocking isn't it!) I've been a huge slacker lately- mostly because I'm frustrated with blogger lately- and I can't get it to let me drag my pictures to where they are supposed to go. :p So here's a few random pics of our recent goings-on- hope they will drag where I want them.

From a recent drive up the canyon to see the fall colors.
Last month's field trip out to the Golden SpikeThe boys at the Rocket Display on our way to Golden Spike We went to AZ for Ben's little brother Nick's wedding. Congrats Nick and Amber!

We are happy for you two and wish you the best!Fishing at Lee's Ferry in AZ- We were so bummed when we went down in July that we didn't get to go fishing- so we made SURE we got to fish this time. Stopped at Cedar Breaks again- decided this is a beautiful place! Silly Doodle- just barely in the picture-

Cabin trips....awww! Fall is the BEST time to go. (okay, and spring and summer and winter too) This one is taken in Yellowstone near the East Entrance- We don't usually make it all the way over that way- but wow! It was beautiful.

Gotta be sneaky to get Doodle's picture!Roo and Trish- hiking around Mud Volcano areaAnd what's a Yellowstone trip without a Bear sighting! He's a small black bear we saw not too far off the road. He didn't seem to care that we were there. Ok- now I'll try and do better about staying caught up on the blog! ;)
