Austin turns 9!

Austin turned 9 this year! He wanted brownies! I know everyone is wondering since I make cakes all the time.....but it's just that, I make cakes all the time and they get the scraps. :)

For Austin's birthday we took some of his friends and went to Laser Mania and then Golden Corral. They had a great time!

Austin is such a special part of our family. He has such a huge heart! Even when someone has been mean to him one minute, you find him sharing whatever he's got with them the next. He also has a great imagination. He will play with his legos for hours and build such great stuff! He is very creative. We love you Austin!!

I know great picture huh? It's from our cruise to Mexico in March and Curt and I did the zip line and had such a great time together! So that is why I love this picture.

We have been married 11 years on 11-11-11! I think it's pretty awesome!

Oh how the time has flown! So here we are as happy as can be with 3 great kids, living in a place with love and able to work here, and have the best family and friends in the world!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!!! LOVE YOU!!!

Taryne turns 4!

Taryne turned 4 in November. Apparently I didn't take a whole lot of pictures. She seen these princess cupcake toppers at walmart and said that is what she wanted for her birthday.

We love Taryne so so much! She is happy most the time and loves loves to entertain everyone! She is always making us laugh and amazes us with her use of big words. She love to dance and sing, her favorite color is pink, and she loves to play with her friends. She has a HUGE imagination! She loves preschool and her kitty, White Mittens.

Our trailers maiden voyage

After a few weeks of doing a lot of work on our camp trailer we finally got to take it out!

Over Father’s Day weekend we went camping with Heidi and Jared’s family out to Gold Mine Springs.  We had such a great time!! The weather was perfect the whole weekend too! (Well except the small hail storm we had while riding the four-wheelers!-but that was more funny than anything! )

There was a lot to explore out there, like these old Pioneer homes…..

And the gold mine…..

And rock formations……

We did most of our exploring on the four-wheelers. (The Harker way! Lol!)

Here’s the men being manly me….

The kids playing……

Here is the fire Jared started…..

LIKE THIS!  I was impressed!

And then of course the ooey gooey goodness of marshmallow roasting!

We seriously could not have asked for a better time!  Even the flat tire on the way home couldn’t ruin our good time.

 

Fun Outing

Here is another of our reservoir outings!  Hopefully we can get another in before the summer ends.

Here is Taryne and some of her peeps.
