Bailey was there too


Bailey was as good as ever. She stayed inside and had conversation with everyone.

Not one smile!


Taylor was really funny on the snowmobile. She never gave any kind of reaction. We never could tell if she was having fun or not.

Snowmobiling



Ally loved snowmobiling. Brent even let her drive, making her want to go out even more. She didn't stay out for very long, but she did go a lot. I think that I spent half of the time putting on snow clothes.

Coloring Easter Eggs



We got to decorate Easter eggs with all of the cousins at the cabin. Taylor literally colored her eggs with a crayon. Ally was all about speed. She would put an egg in for two seconds and then move on to the next egg. Two different approaches that both left great results.

A Snowy Easter Vacation


For Easter, we spent the week at a cabin in Island Park with Brent's Family. It was such a great week of snowmobiling, sledding and playing with cousins. I even built a big snow tunnel. We had a great time!

Just Kidding about Building a House

So we went in on Thursday to pick out the exterior of our house and the lady helping us mentioned in passing that the bid they gave us didn't include their fee. It was enough of a fee that we decided to get out of the land deal and look into buying an already complete home. What did I learn from this charade? Well, I did learn that I do not speak blueprint. I can't look at a picture and see a big house. I also can tell you that a lot more goes into a house than just a couple of paint colors. I think that when we changed our plans we were relieved. Everyone except Ally, who really wants a house with a little door that goes under the stairs. There's still hope for that one.

The Clements Family

Everything is going really well for us right now. We have been busy getting ready for a move to Shelley, Idaho. We are having a house built. We are going to put our house up for sale in mid-April and our house should be done in September. There is a big gap there where we might be found in the park with a tent, but we are really excited to move into our new house. It is going to be on 1 3/4 acres of land and is by a golf course and the Snake River. I'll make sure to post pictures of the progress.
