I had big plans about updating the blog at least every week and unfortunately I haven't had time. We were all sick ringing in the New Year, but I think that we are all on the mend (hopefully).
We were able to go to Utah for a couple of weeks and stay. Hagen was so excited to see nana, papa and play in the snow. It rained for a few days and melted all the snow but a little chunk on the grass, he was very upset. When it finally did snow, Hagen and Ainsley got all their snow gear on and went outside for about two minutes. It took me longer to get them dressed and undressed.

While in Utah we blessed Kinley. My dad, grandparents, and aunt drove up to Logan to attend. Jason did a wonderful job (as always) and Kinley looked so beautiful. I still had my blessing dress so that is what she wore. We only got one picture before she had a blowout :)

The Sunday after Kinley's blessing the Esplin's had their farewell. They will be leaving for a humanitarian mission to Nepal on Feb. 14th. We were able to say our goodbyes.

We went to Hardware Ranch while we were staying in Logan. Hagen was terrified of the horses and the elk when we first arrived. Luckily, he calmed down and we were able to go out in the wagon and see the elk up close. It was a perfect day. On the way up the canyon we saw a mother and baby moose.
