Taryn is 25

Taryn had asked us months ago if she could go out to the cabin to celebrate her birthday. Of course we said yes and hoped that by her birthday the snow would be gone and they would have a wonderful spring weekend. Well we just seem to want to hang onto winter this year. Usually by now the snow has melted on the sunny side of the road but we still have a couple of feet of snow. This is how we got all the supplies into the cabin. Steve hooked some mess onto the snow so things wouldn't fall off. Luckily we only have to walk about 1/2 mile to the truck. We dumped off our stuff and took the sleigh back so Taryn could use it to bring her stuff in.
The next day me and Steve went for a walk. Since we are trying to get in shape we decided to hike up the hill. Luckily this side of the hill most of the snow is gone. Steve's goal is to hike King's Peak this summer so I think we will spend a lot of time this summer hiking up hills.


We got up to the top and there is still alot of snow. We didn't bring our snow shoes so at times we would just sink in. We had so much fun playing around in the snow. We made snow balls and would see who's snow ball made it to the bottom. Steve shocked me when he laid down and made a snow angel. Going down the hill we thought it would have been fun to bring the sleigh up and ride it down. So when Taryn and her friends decided to go for a hike we told them to take the sleigh and ride it down. I have never seen a sleigh go so fast. Jace was the only one brave enough to go for a ride.

We left that night and they stayed over. Unfortunately Chris caught a bug and was sick all night so they packed up early and headed home.
They came over that night for a birthday dinner and Greg and Lauren joined us. I can't believe my baby girl is 25. Am I really that old. She's a beautiful girl and I'm proud of the young women she has become.

Taryn is such a beautiful girl. Looks like a fun way to celebrate a birthday. You guys are brave to trek into your cabin like that - we need to quit being wimpy and go to ours more!
