We went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. Hannah and I were able to fly and Derek David and Koda drove. We were so excited to be able to bring Koda with us.
This is Derek and Jon enjoying some time together.
Just about everyone together enjoying family time together.
Now we have everyone together. The meal was so good and the company was great! I got a great recipe from Dixie for stuffing.

Derek having fun on the horse swing. Derek is one of the best I know at having fun and spreading fun to others. The quote of giving someone an ounce of fun and being able to convert that ounce of fun to a mile would definitely apply to him
We all having fun together
Hannah looks so cute riding this small bike. I love how she loves to be silly and enjoy her life. She loves to share her enjoyment of her life with others and I am so lucky to be one of those that she shares her wonderful, silly life with.

Yes that is Mom, even Mom getting into the farming thing, well sort of. . .

OK, I know what this looks like, but it's not what you think, I swear!

My sweet perfect boy. I love every picture of him. He makes me happy just looking at him.
This was the awesome vehicle we rode in to go to the Valley of Fire together. Yes we changed the earth's climate with our road trip but we were able to all ride together and enjoy each other's company
Hannah and Caitlin together with Koda. Koda LOVED this trip. We were so blessed to be able to have this experience together as a family. I love families
Our first family picture together with Koda, so darn cute!
More awesome Koda included family pictures

One of my favorite pictures of Derek and Hannah. This was such a great day together. Our time together seeing such incredible views and together, being able to share this.
Great shot of the dudes
I can't believe how fast my Goldie is growing up, and how beautifully.
Hiding out in some amazing places. we are so blessed to see so many beautiful places together as a family that Heavenly Father created for us.
These two people have given me so much, so so much. They have been with me and helped me with so much.
More adventure togetherness AND with our Koda
Hannah and Derek really are great friends. I am so grateful. I hope they can get closer and closer as they get older.
Hold on Derek!

We loved our moments together. This was a safe day even through the rocks and cliffs, we loved our moments together today.
Another great family picture. We had an amazing day together. These moments are so precious, their value is so much more than any luxury sports car, mansion, anything that moth and dust corrupt. Things don't last but memories do. This is a one of the big things that I want to teach my kids, memories are so important, time with families. Making sure that our family is a place of refuge and safety, no matter where we are.
Trying to get all the sand out of our shoes, cuffs of our pant legs, socks, fur, etc.
Part of being a Mom is fear. Fear enters in every mother's life the day her child is born and never leaves. There are many different reasons for fear and this is number 745612 out of 456134543245745632154876313 that could possibly happen to your child. And that number is conservative.
O.k. yes, yes, I was a bit nervous, o.k. more than a little nervous. 
The view was great this day from every angle, I'm so glad we had the chance to see the beauty form so many angles.
The colors there that day were so pretty. The difference between the colors were so broad, it was good to appreciate differences the different colors were pretty and worked well together and complimented each other through their differences. There is so much we can learn through the the start differences of nature that Heavenly Father gives us if we will let Him teach us.
My wonderful boy. Having a wonderful day, and we are blessed to share it together.
