Ride for the Fallen

We love participating in the Ride for the Fallen each year.  It is such a special, touching, and emotional way we have helped raise money for families of officers that have died.  We are so thankful there are people out their putting their lives on the line to keep our society safe.

 It's an hour and a half ride up to the state capital.

 I love riding!

 It was fun along with all of the emotions.

Monster Truckin'

We took the boys to the monster truck show tonight.  We had a blast!

 It's so fun watching these huge trucks run over cars.

 Alex excited for the show to start.

 Watching the trucks.

Soccer Time

We signed up the boys for soccer.  They have been so excited to start playing!

 Coach Jason is a great leader.

 Doing some footwork.

 Brothers battling for the ball.

 They voted on a name and Fire Dragons won!

Hammock Time

Daddy set up the hammock a couple of weeks ago and we love spending time cuddling and swinging!

Kindergarten Check-ups

Well, it's about that time to start school, and these two cuties are both going into kindergarten this year.  We had their check-ups today and they are both healthy and happy little boys.

Fun at 11,000 feet

We ventured up to Snowbird today.  We had a lot of fun!  Alex on the coaster.

 Derek and Alex on the mountain flyer.

 The wildflowers were so pretty!

 Riding down on the ski lift.

 After getting off the lift Jason says that was relaxing huh?  Ashley and Derek's reply, 'That was a little scary.' 

 The boys loved the tramps.

 One of our favorites is the alpine slide.

  One more selfie

I love watching the boys with Ashley and Derek.

I can't believe it has already been a week.  It has passed too fast, but we had a lot of fun.  We are so thankful we have an open adoption and are able to see our birth families.  Adoption is such a huge part of our life.  It is how we grew our family.  We didn't gain two children, we gained so many amazing birth family members along with them!  Thank you guys for coming out, it means the world to us!

Mountain fun on 4-wheelers

 We had so much fun 4-wheeling today!  Alex only fell asleep once.  I am not sure how he is able to sleep on such a bumpy ride!

 Mama Ashley and Derek

Enjoying his lunch break.

 We can't forget to take selfies!

 Alex and grandpa enjoying the view!

What a fun day!
