Every year the family (including Grandma Gardner) hikes up the Blacktail Butte in memory of Uncle Dayle and Great-Grandma Veda. Uncle Dayle passed away about 12 years ago and his ashes were spread on the Butte. It is always so beautiful and a fun time being together as a family. Enjoy the many pictures! 
The two little boys took their first trip up the mountain. (Well, I was like 7 months pregnant with Jackson last year) Their daddys were so strong and carried them in their little packs. Jackson especially loved hiking and being on the back of his Dad. He did so great!
At the top we stopped to have a snack and to lay a wildflower bouquet by Uncle Dayle's tree. We also got family photos by our "family tree." (A tree off the trail a ways that was randomly discovered by my Great Grandpa Moulton with the family name Moulton name carved in it and a date of like 1918). Jackson enjoyed his time out of the pack to play with the logs and sticks.
And this layout is for Uncle Bub who the kids love so very much!! He was holding Jack Man and making him laugh so hard! He and Jamie are great Uncles and Aunts and will make great parents someday.
The hike was very muddy and our shoes were caked with mud by the end of the hike, so Justin got the power-washer out and cleaned them up nice for us. Here they are all battered and worn... a job well done.

Everytime I see Jack man's cute little face I just want to kiss him. He has an infectious smile!!! I never knew that's why you guys made the hike... I'd love to hear more.
So you do ya'll (get used to that) have an apartment yet? And when are you officially going to be here? Joe is in the EQ presidency and heads up all of the moves in our ward so let us know so that we can have the man power there for you! Zach is in the EQ too so maybe your hubby has already got in touch with him?
