what we've been up to lately!One of the benefits to living in Eagle Mountain is (prepare for a shocker!)...the eagles! I knew that they were out here because everyone else has seen them, but until about a week and a half ago, I hadn't seen any. The first couple I saw were standing on a dead cow (gross, I kn
ow!) The very next day I saw another one standing in the middle of the field of cows. I would almost say that they were vultures, rather than hunting their own food, they're standing there waiting for it to come to them. Lazy creatures! Anyway, in Fairfield, just across the v
alley from the city center, is where the eagles must be living at the moment. Nathan had gone with Chris and Kelli on Saturday while I was at work and they got some amazing pictures. I was super jealous and made him take me this week. It was so spectacular! Between golden and bald, we counted 15 that trip. We also saw a couple of wild bunnies and stopped to tell them they should hide because they are hopping around with a nice, shiny target on their backs in that area! :) I hope the eagles stick around for a while longer so I can see some more!
The snow around here is finally starting to melt and we can see grass again for the first time in over a month! Nathan is getting really anxious to get out there and start working on the yard. We have endless possibilities with the back yard. Before the snow melted I did ge
t a couple good pictures of our resident snow bunnies!The last couple weeks I've been working long hours on Saturday to get caught back up after taking so much time off around Christmas. Since this is Nathan's only day off, he really has been enjoying getting some quality time with the kiddos. Last week they made a fort, which by looking at the pictures, seems to have been quite a success!
Not too much has gone on in January, but February is always crazy with 5 immediate family birthdays! Kaiden will be 3 this month, so stay tuned in for an update on that!

Great pictures of the eagles! How lucky you are to have them so near. Love the snow bunnies and the fort, too.
Love and hugs, Granny
WOW!!!! I grew up in the mountains of Colorado and would see them nest down by the river. I miss that part of country life. Yes, you live in the country way out in Eagle Mountain. We looked at homes out there before we moved to Las Vegas. Amazing!!! I love little towns.
That's so great! And it's nice to leave kids with their dad while you do something else, even if it is work. I knew you moved, did you guys buy a new house? I like Eagle mountain, but it's so far from where Stuart will work that even someday when we can afford a house we probably won't live there. Sad.
