Life down the Combs' Lane











So between losing a hamster for a full day and trying to get used to getting three children ready for church and bed (all of which keep our lives very exciting ;) We were able to initiate Kyle to the great Y mountain. This has been a family tradition since Katie was an infant. I still remember Dan carrying her all the way to the top. Then we had Sharon and he carried her in the snugli while Katie and I hiked. Well today Sharon hiked the whole way to the top by herself. I'm so impressed. I think I underestimate this little dynamite child of mine. Her little legs hiked 2 miles up a steep (okay so I think it's very steep;) mountain. By the way Dan and I couldn't help but admire the BYU students who were so fit they were running up and then running down all in the time it took us to do one switch-back.

Oh Melissa that boy is changing so much. Make it stop because I don't want to miss it. Tell Sharon she is so stinking cute and I'm not that impressed because she has ALWAYS be the climber in the family. She's crazy!...

I miss you and those cute babies of yours. Love you.

Photo's are so awesome, the kids are growing up far to fast. I agree with you, it looks pretty steep to me. I just love the things you guys do with the kids, such excellent memories for them to hold onto. Love and miss you all so much.

Absolutely loved all the photo's. My grandchildren are the cutest in the world. Kyle is so gorgeous, he has your big eyes. My girls are so beautiful. By the way, has the hamster survived being handled by little Sharon?
