We decided to take a hike up Providence Canyon. I thought since we had so much fun on our last hike that I would enjoy it. I may have complained a LITTLE bit on this hike. The road is out in this canyon because of the road being washed out. We hiked for a LONG time on gravel, all the dirt has been washed away, and when we got to the waterfall we had to hike up a very steep trail covered in stinging metal. We all made it safely and the waterfall was pretty.
When we reached the waterfall Corbett just started shouting with excitement! We took our nephew Coleman with us...

Thorson Grandkids
We take a yearly picture of the grandkids on my side (24 in all)...This may be the last complete one for a while since Kelsey is off to college in Virginia and Justin will be going on a mission sometime around May. I think it's a great lookin' bunch of kids (although some are not kids anymore, 2 are legally adults)!
Wild Weekend!
We had a super busy weekend a few weeks ago. I am finally recovered from it all so now I can blog about it. Above: Cody with his sister Heidi, her baby Thorin, and Cody's brother Kiel. So Heidi & Jared were on their way home from their yearly visit from Virginia. We headed to Salt Lake to say goodbye to them and spend time with Kiel & Jen and Grandma & Grandpa Sorensen. We had fun visiting and letting the kids play.
Corbett has a little cousin Brode that likes to wrestle with him. He's not that much younger than Corbett (1 1/2 years), but Corbett is huge and Brode is little for their ages. I'd say he's crazy to pick such a match but I think Brode got the best of Corbett a few times!
Kennedy has a cute little cousin Kadence! They were really cute together but they didn't want me to take their picture! I finally got this one, which I think is rather adorable!
In the middle of our visit to Salt Lake we took a break and went to Layton for my Grandma Thorson's reunion. Below: all my aunts and uncles on my dad's side, minus my Uncle Rick, and Grandma & Grandpa.
Konrad looking sweet.

After we spent the day in Salt Lake we came home and headed out the next day for Rigby, Idaho. We spent Sunday night at Grandma & Grandpa Sorensen's house. On Monday morning our nephew Gabe was baptized. Their family is traveling from Missouri to Washington where they are moving to so they scheduled his baptism while they had a day to stop and see their families in Driggs, Idaho, where Cody grew up. Congrats to Gabe!
We took advantage of the trip to Driggs and planned a fun hike with the kids!
We had such a great time on the hike! The kids were amazingly good hikers and the twins did well in their carriers. Below: the whole crew...(top)Great Grandma, Cody, Konrad, Travis, Susan, Kim, Me, Kennedy, (Bottom) Corbett, Matilda, Gabe, Weston, and Jack.

I try!
Kennedy's hair is a bit scary some days! I just want you to see my proof that I do TRY! I did her hair all cute and about 1 minute after these pictures, which were taken within seconds of the hairdo being complete, her hair had been ripped out completely and she had hair pointing every direction again!
