Family . . .the girl's Dad's side

I post lots of blogs about my side of the family.  I rarely blog anything about the girls's dad's side.  Partially because that is my ex-husband's family, and partially because there isn't a lot to photograph and blog.

However there was a fairly big event recently that is significant for the girls . . . so here it is.  This is the first time in 5+ years that the girls and both of their (1/2) siblings are together in the same place at the same time.  Considering that there are 3 mom's involved and not all of us get along and not all of us get along with the father of the kids it is a big thing to be able to get all of the kids together.

 Dahlia, Bobbie, Don, Owen, Gaby.  

 Not sure who decided an up the tree picture was a good idea, but the kids loved it!!

The kids ran around and played for about 45 minutes, and then one of them needed to go.  Hopefully there will be more times when the girls get to see their siblings and it won't be quite so long in between.


Earlier that day we went to see Grammy and Grampy (my ex's parents) and I finally remembered to get some pictures.  So here they are.

Bobbie wrestling with Sheba.  It took a while to get a good picture as they would keep moving just when I was about ready to take the picture.  

 Dahlia actually stopped long enough to let me take a picture.  A rare occurrence lately.

Doug and Donna headed up her ramp into their place.  Getting them to hold still for a pictures is just about as hard as getting Dahlia to let me take a picture.

Until next time remember:

Hike to Ensign Peak

#1 Yes the girls and I hiked to the top of Ensign Peak.  #2 I am gonna hurt the person who listed the hike to Ensign Peak as a young child friendly hike.  I figured that if you can do it with little kids it would be a safe enough level for an out of shape Mom.  I thought wrong!!

Here we are at the start of the hike.  I have no clue what I have gotten myself in for yet. 

 Thank heavens for the periodic sets of stone seats at the edges of the trail.  We didn't use every one of them, but we did use most of them.

 We made it!!  The view was awesome.  Bobbie had tons of fun taking pictures at the top.  Now we just had to get back down the trail without someone tripping and falling.

 I had packed a lunch with the intention of eating it at the top for a rest, however only Bobbie was hungry.  So Bobbie had part of her lunch and Dahlia and I ate ours later at the car.

 Dramatic picture by a trail marker . . . taken on the way down . . .when I had enough energy to think Hmmm maybe we should take a picture of the girls by a trail marker.

 Note to self:  Next time let the girls carry the backpack.

Note to self: Let either of the girls carry the backpack.  They both begged for a chance and enjoyed every second of it.

 We made it back down safe and sounds.  No trips, no falls, no injuries.  Woo Hoo!!!  Next time no picking a trail that is 3/4 switch backs and all uphill!!

Then we went to a park because the girls STILL had tons of energy left.  We stayed there for a while trying to run some energy out of them.  No such luck!!!  

If only I could bottle their energy and sell it!!

So many things happening at the Seher House!!!

There are so many things happening at the Seher house.  While I have been better at getting pictures (or handing off the camera to my kids and letting them take pictures), I haven't been as good at getting them from my camera to the blog.  Oops!!  Now if only I could figure out how to blog straight from my phone I would be set.

Here are a few of the highlights from last month:

With the nice weather in April we went to the park and had a picnic.  The girls voluntarily color coordinated their outfits.  I promise it wasn't me that stuffed them in matching clothes . . . . this time.

We went out to breakfast with a friend, and the girls were so silly they couldn't contain themselves.  Luckily Mom has a camera to photograph the future dating blackmail . . . oops I meant silly things they did.

In the end of April we attended the Payson Temple Open House.  Such a WONDERFUL experience.  The girls learned so much, and it was uplifting hearing them talk about what they already know about temples and why they are so important to us!!

Until next time remember:
