I had to post these pictures. They are from the Ranch, but I had to post them cause I love them. She was talking to me about wanting to go down the zipline again, but then she got distracted by the tree. So Danilynn! She is so precious! Love you Bug!!!

Hale's Rainbow Ranch...

So all of the Walker Clan headed up to Afton, Wyoming for Father's Day. We were up there first, and made sure that everything was ready for us. Jon, Brittany and their kids came up the next day. Jordan and his wife, Krista, came over from Horseshoe Bend with Mom, Dad and Jenna. Jerrod, Erika and their kids came up on Friday, and even JoAnna and her roommate came over from Rexburg. The whole crew was there.


Gotta Love the fact that all the kids on the front row weren't looking at the camera. I think Dani was entertaining them. Look at that fabulous family!!!
Any kid who knows anything about the Afton grocery store, knows these little carts. Any parent looking at these pictures knows the fits that happened when one thing ended up in one cart and not the other. Taking Turns meant nothing to J.J. and we experienced a break down half way through the store. Good Times!!!
A quiet moment...we all had a few of these moments. But I had to capture this on camera because I thought it was so tender of Uncle Jordan and Kiaya.
This is one of my favorite pictures from this trip, okay, I have like a million favorite pictures from this trip. But I loved that Oakley fell asleep on grandma. Whitney and Dani just had to crawl up to be next to her. I loved watching them. I thought it was so cute! Cute of both Grandma and all the girls and how they found comfort being with Grandma.
After Grandma got up to put Oakley in her bed, the other girls decided they wanted to stay in the chair and take a little nap. Fun times, they never fell asleep.
Don't they both look a little mischievous? My cute boys!!!
We had to take the opportunity to hook up the Zip-Line. Dani watched the other kids go down it once, and she was itching to take her turn. She loved it, couldn't get enough of it. She cried when we took it all down. You can see her little face poking out over my arm. Such a little Dare Devil.
This is Jerrod and Nathan. and Judge the dog, Jon's dog, who likes to jump up and bite your ankles as you go down the line. Sadly, no one warned me about this before I went down, but Jerrod obviously knew. I am patching up the holes in my ankles as we speak.
Isn't this pretty?... if you look closely you can see Jordan hanging from the seat, one of the kids are on the seat, and they go flying when he lets go and drops into the lake. That is one fun ride.
Here is Jordan, up close, with Kiaya. Good times.
Dropping down. The lake was too cold for me to do it. Luckily!
Whitney, just after Jordan let go. She was laughing her guts out.
Dani wanted to go for a ride in the paddle boat, so we got her life jacket on, and she was a happy camper.
Jordan, and his wifey, Krista. She was screaming!!! It was great fun!
You aren't at the ranch unless you take a 4-wheeler ride. I had Kiaya, Justin, and Dani. We went over the bumps, on the way down one of the "bumps"
Can't be in the state of Wyoming without pulling out the guns. Jerrod, Jordan, Dad and Jon all brought their guns. If we had only known we would have brought Jerm's guns. We loved watching all the kids fire the guns. It was so much fun. Thanks guys for bringing up the firearms. This is Nathan, shooting with his dad's, Jerrod's, help. So much fun!!!
Dani wouldn't stop pulling the trigger. Jerm had to stick his finger under the trigger to give the gun a chance to breathe.
Loving to shoot! Daddy's Little Girl!!!
Justin, such a big dude!
Anna! You go Girl!
The boys were having contests. No one stood a chance against the army sharp shooter, but they all tried.
Jenna felt well enough to watch the boys play some horseshoes, and us girls throw the ball to the doggies. It was so much fun to have her outside enjoying the Wyoming air!
Okay, I learned a while ago, that every sport Jerm tried, he was good at. Horseshoes is another one of those games. I have no chance to be better then him at anything. He is my Man and I Love Him!!!
My sweet Sister-in-Law Erika! She was out for a swing.
Jerm loves all the pictures that we have of us like this. Hahaha!
P.S. Nice Butt Jer!
Walking on the rocky road after the ball, humm...I wonder who kicked it all the way out there?
This picture makes me smile! I love my Daddy, and watching him with my daughter melts my heart. She was so excited to look through the scope. He let her do it over and over and over and over and over again. It was wonderful.
Check out the open eye on the outside of the scope. Hahaha, sometimes I wonder if she ever saw anything through that thing.
Oakley...she is the wandering child. She never stays where you put her. You can always find her walking along side of the road, headed out the swing set, or throwing a tennis ball in the pond for one of the dogs. She is just a wandering child!
Everyone is tuckered out!
My cute Kids! I love them so much!!!
Who doesn't love this little dudes smile! I never realized he had dimples until this picture. Guess, I am used to seeing his scowling face.
Blow it up Buddy!!! Jerrod taught J.J. how to blow up his fists with a pound. J.J. asks us to be blown up all the time. Does it make sense that my army brother is the one teaching my child to blow stuff up? You would think that he has blown up enough stuff, but being a boy, he can't get enough of it.
Love you kids!
Swinging!
Who needs a sandbox when you have a Horseshoe Pit? My kids could always be found playing in the pits. They love the dirt.
Kiaya is a little model! Just like her mommy!
Justin, he is one freaking smart kid! I love having conversations with him. He blows my mind!
Gotta love this picture! I have so many memories of growing up at the Ranch and it felt so wonderful to have the chance to be there with our whole family. We have so few moments left to be together, that it just felt incredible to be at the Ranch with our kids. Who would have thought all those years ago, when the Ranch was first built that we would be taking Grandpa Hale's Great-Grandchildren to the Ranch? What a legacy Grandpa and Grandma have. It was such a blessing to have these memories! Thank You to the Aunts and Uncles who have kept the Ranch for our us, and our kids. We love you!!!

We had to take one last chance to get a Shake from the Red Barron! Jenna obviously got a kids meal because she was enjoying her bobble eyes. Love you Jenna! We are all so grateful that you endured the long drive over to the Ranch! It was so wonderful for us to all be together for Father's Day! Hope all you Dad's had a good Fathers Day!!! We Love You Daddies!!!!

We have Moved!!!

We have had a lot of changes in our family lately. All of those changes have led us back to our home in Payson, Utah. We are so excited for the change.

We are so grateful for everyone who has touched our lives, and everyone who has allowed us to be a part of theirs. God be with all of you!!! Please keep in touch! Love you!

Mom and Dad Barber, Thank You for opening your home to us! We are forever grateful! Please join us soon!!!
