Hardware Ranch

As some of you know, Raegan's favorite animal is an Elk. She knows exactly what they look like and what noise they make. I left work a little early to take Farrah and Raegan up to Hardware Ranch on the first day it opened. There were 170 or so elk that had already come down for the winter. In the middle of the winter there will be a herd of 700-800 elk. You can bet we will be back!! We paid to go on a ride and Raegan had an absolute blast. The horses pull you on a buggy right through all the elk. Anyone that comes up to visit us has to go and see it. It is AWESOME!!

Winter in Logan

Winter is finally here which means snow and cold outside. Farrah and Raegan are continually experimenting new ways to have fun at home or around town. (Mostly at home) It's amazing how much Farrah does for Raegan. I get home and only have 3-4 hours with her before she goes down and I can't keep up with her. Raegan loves to show off her infamous teeth. She will use them on ANYONE...nobody is safe right now. (No nursery for Rae Rae) Farrah built her a slide and she went crazy with it until she ripped it in half. The other is a house Raegan had for a whole day. See what Farrah can do with one diaper case!!

Best Friends...

I couldn't resist snapping a few shots of Rae loving Kaya. She nestled herself in bed with Kaya, blanket and all, and gave Kaya kisses and hugs for about 10 minutes. The surprising part of all of this was Kaya just sat there the whole time and didn't move...almost as if she was wondering what was going on...why Raegan was being so soft with her. It was adorable. The other pictures are of us all at the annual Christmas party for the USU athletic dept. They set up a huge slide that Shawn and Raegan went down, and had Santa come for the kids. As you can see, Raegan was a bit terrified of Santa, but thoroughly enjoyed the slide with dad.

Beautiful Fall Day!

Considering we are in the midst of winter...we are trying to take advantage of any sun! It was a beautiful Saturday, though cold, it was sunny, so we took Raegan to see her new favorite animal....the elk. Its a huge elk and the first time we took Raegan to see it, we had Kaya with us and the elk came charging right at us and hit its huge horns into the fence. Since then, anytime we mention the word 'elk' Raegan says "scary". Anyway, she has conquered her fear of the elk and now begs us to go bye-bye to see the elk. Really cute!
