Escalante/Cedar

The week Clayt left they boys and I headed to Escalante for a few days and then to Cedar City. My uncle opened up a new hardware store in Escalante so the boys and I met my parents over there to support him for his grand opening. Those who have never been there this is HUGE for this little town. Congrats Reed and Karen we wish you the best of luck with the new store.

Uncle Reed is on the right. He built this building and will be the General Manager.

Ryder saw this truck at the store and had his eye on it. The only way you could get it was by winning it. He asked Friday morning when he woke up if we could go win it. Waiting for them to call his name felt like forever asking every minute when they would call his ticket. The smile and happiness on this boys face when they said "Ryder" was priceless. Thanks Karen Munson and Do It Best.

Waiting to see if his name would be called..

Pure joy he was so excited. Thank you Reed and Karen

My mom got Ryder this little chalkboard at a boutique over there and Ryder was so excited to show us he wrote his name with no help.

Love this picture of my mom and I that someone snapped at the grand opening.

Sunday morning we headed to Cedar to go visit my friend Courtney for a few days. We had planned to go to Zion Monday but the weather had other plans for us :/ I was super bummed since I've never been. So she colored my hair and then we went to lunch and hung out at home. Tuesday the weather was still crappy but we ventured out and went on a little walk up the canyon. Thanks for letting us come and stay with you Courtney.

Ryder wanted to match Range this day.. Sure do love these two.

Courtney and I.
