Hawaii

I love to see the Temple!!

HAWAII is AWESOME!!!

This is us (Megan, Trevor, Buddy, Me, and Dad) Snorkeling with the Sea Turtles and Dolphins...

We had a blast and it was so beautiful!

All of us on our tour boat headed out to go snorkeling!! We followed a pod of dolphins for a while and then went to a turtle cleaning station where we saw tons of Sea turtles!! AMAZING We loved evry minute of it!

We also had a chance to go to Pearl Harbor which was so sad and humbling to see the sacrifice those before us have made to keep this country free!! And then we saw the Polonysian Cultural Center and the La'ie Hawaii Temple! I will never forget this trip and I am so grateful We got to go!!!!!!!!

Halloween/ Lake Powell Fun!

2009-11-02T09:40:00.000-08:00

So we had a Great Halloween! We ended up at the shelter to get a couple cats because we have a ton of mice around our little farm and got two of the sweetest kittens ever so we were so excited to find them and Buddy got suckered into a "last chance" dog and got a not so little 6 MO old Lab mix puppy. He is really a good dog and we are pleasantly surprised by how dang good he is but holy cow we have a million animals now and I am hoping Buddy doesn't have to go to work out of town all winter long and I am stuck dealing with them all by myself but oh well.

Bay was so excited she takes after her mom and LOVES animals! We haven't had the best of luck with cats so we are hoping this will be better!

That night we went for a BBQ at the Hall's house Bay and her friends Carlee and Sidney wanted to trick or treat together so we all went it was a ton of fun!!

Bay was such a cute little Indian but we had to force her to wear the wig it drove her nuts!! Happy Halloween!

Luke as you can see was spider man and Beau was a Pirate (thanks Ty and Cheri for sharing) They all had so much fun and looked soooo cute!!

Bay didn't end up riding Bandit like she wanted to but we got some official Indian on horseback photos!

Jezebel and Princess!!

These Pics are from our trip to Lake Powell this fall. We had so much fun Uncle Ty Aunt Cheri, all the kids, Grandma and Grandpa Buxton were all there with their boats! It was pretty cold but we all still had a ton of fun!

Luke and Brendan I love this Pic!

I love the canyon in this picture it looks so good and the boys looked cute too!

Grandma Safely looking after the kids on the bow!

Uncle Ty Dipping Ashlyn's feet in the water she loved it!

Grandma and Grandpa driving their new boat!

Of course we are teaching them early to start playing cards!!

I wouldn't miss out on playing in the water!!

I went with Cheri for a bit till Tyler tried to kill us and she bonked her head on Connor's and had to get out!! It was fun while it lasted!

It was kinda cold so this is them locked up in Ty's boat!

I really like this pic aren't we cute!

Luke!

Dad!

Grandma and the boys!

We really are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends! We love them all and love getting to share such precious memories with them!! Thanks Guys!!

2009-09-29T10:30:00.000-07:00

Well while the guys were out shooting Deer we went out shooting Pics. We had a ton of fun and the leaves as you can see were absolutely gorgeous! I am so lucky to have such cute kids, a great Sister and a darling little nephew!!

Where to begin?

2009-09-16T12:55:00.000-07:00

We have had suck a crazy crazy month that has been so much fun!! We Had Pete and Ron our friends from Australia that came and stayed with us for 10 days and the Iron County Fair and Parades going on. We really are so lucky to have all the friends and Family that we have! We love them all so much and really do appreciate all their love and support!

Beautiful Baylee riding Millie in the Horse Parade in Cedar!!!

It was so nice of them to come and support us we love them so much!

The egg race!

Bay before the egg race!

Bay doing the bareback buck ride, you have to hold a dollar bill under your leg while you walk trot canter and you're out when the buck falls. She was the first one out! Oh well it was fun!

Trevor just can't help himself he definitely is the biggest kids there is! Poor little engine that could!

Pete and Ron were here to see Beau off for his first day of school! He will always remember that!

Oh what a good big sister!! I have great kids when they want to be!

Big Kindergartner Beau!

Lloyd and Linda were so nice to let us all stay at their house for the weekend of the Western Legends Roundup. It was a ton of fun for all of us! And we will always remember that what happens on the trail stays on the trail!

Everyone at the Grand Canyon.

Dallen and Gentry came with us aren't they all so cute!!

Ron was so funny while we were there because Pete is deathly afraid of heights and was sooo nervous every time we got near the edge so Ron would get a little closer every time Pete would say to stay away from the edge! Pete was ready to beat us! Ha, Ha. We are all still alive Pete!

My wonderful Husband driving Pete nuts!

Awwww They are so dang cute!

Good old Ron!!

Pete got a kick out of driving a pickup in the American west so he had us take this pic!!

Pete and Ron in the Western Legends Parade. They do think that they are somewhat celebrities now so good luck Australia because they might expect the same treatment!

This is the whole wagon train that was in their group for the 3 day trek.

This is when they got back!

OH we love RON!!!!

Bay's First day of School

2009-08-20T17:27:00.000-07:00

We got to go and enjoy the first day of school celebration with Bay today!! Our elementary school has Parents or Grandparents come with each of the students for the first few hours of the first day of school!!

They finish out the time with us by having a parade and a little program. It is kind of fun and helps the parents feel a little more involved.

And WOW my little girl is in 4th grade now! CRAZY! Bay is such a great kid and LOVES school!! So much fun! Good luck Bay we love you!!

Summer FUN!

2009-08-06T09:38:00.000-07:00

This is Buddy's Fam up to Yankee Meadows we met up with them up there for a few hours. Gary and Chelly and their kids and Lloyd and Linda and Mike and Jessie were all there it was fun to see everyone!

Buddy's Uncle Gary on his bike he looked so hot in his shorts and army boots!!! We love Gary!

Everyone just shootin' the breeze!

This is what Bay looks like at 12:00 coming home from her 4-H Horse show in Cedar. I would have never guesed that those shows would've gone as long as they do.

All of her Garandparents have come to one of her horse shows it has been so nice to have their love and support. This is Lloyd and Linda pretending to not be so bored.

What a cowgirl! What a difference a year makes! Bay has learned so much this last year in 4-H and has become an awesome little rider!!

This is her doing the barrels she got like 36 seconds on her and for her (and millie's) first time I think they did GREAT!

This is Bay doing the wester riding pattern she got a Blue ribbon on it this time!

This is Bay doing Halter/Showmanship she got a blue ribbon on this one as well!

This was our trip to Vegas, we went to Lake Mohave and had a blast! There is something about when I get on a boat I turn into a little kid again and I can't help myself!! Crazy!

And I must mention that I looked like a Lobster when we went home I might not ever grow a brain but I hate sunscreen! Stubborn!

Me and Monica! She has been one of the very best friends I have ever had!!! Thanks Mon!

We all snorkeled while we were there the lake was so nice and clear you could see really far!

Dana and Martin, we left our kids with Linda it was so nice so thanks linda for giving us a break we don't get it very often!

This is the video of Bay doing the pattern! GREAT job Bay!

Bay's Horse Show/ 4th of July Fun!

2009-07-08T10:59:00.000-07:00

Wow where to start, we have had so much fun the last couple of weeks. For the 4th Megan and Trevor came down and we went up on the mountain and rode horses and fished and went to the Parade Bay was in and went to fireworks at Brian Head. Here's Luke and Kash at the fireworks.

Trevor and Kash on Millie. Kash loved riding the horses and it was so much fun!

Bay and Beau! Baylee really has turned into a pretty good little rider so she never wants to get off her horse.

Scott and Monica came to the parade and the Fireworks it was so nice of them to come and support Bay and see her in her very first parade. It means a lot! Thanks guys

A picture of almost the whole crew at the parade.

Baylee on Millie this was the first parade for both of them I was so nervous because you never know how a horse will be in a parade and Millie did GREAT! They both looked awesome!

Luke, Buddy, Beau, Trevor, Kash and Megan.

Beau and Luke

Mom and Luke

Daddy and his little girl!

Grandpa helped Bay a ton, getting her horse ready for the show and it was fun for them to have the chance to do that together!

Bay, Grandma Deb, and Luke! It was so nice of them to come all the way down to Parowan to watch Bay's show it was very long, but I think it was worth the wait. Everyone had fun and we enjoyed the time with them!

This is a clip of Kash at the parade he was absolutely hilarious and we laughed the whole time cause he was so funny!

Baylee's 4-H project!

2009-06-18T15:42:00.000-07:00

Baylee is in 4-H this year and they get to do a presentation on anything they choose (as long as it has to do with horses) so she decided to do her project on the Tennessee Walking Horse. She had to research the history of the breed and the conformation, and their different gaits. They then have to present in in front of the two judges and be judged and scored.

She did a great job I was so proud of her she seems so little still sometimes and she did probably better that I could have done!!! The judges were surprised this was her first year and she didn't skip a beat! She was on cloud 9 when she was done because she knew she did a good job and she was awarded the red second place ribbon! She certainly is growing up!

After it was all over we figured we had the horse spit shined and Bay all dalled up in her cowgirl gettup so we took advantage of it and took these super cute pictures of her on Millie! Aren't they beautiful! Great job BAY!!!!! We love you!

Trip up North to see Family and Friends!

2009-06-18T15:29:00.000-07:00

Deb Josie and Mandy outside Olive Garden after we had Lunch there Mandy loved it there!

Me and the kids with our other lovely friend from Australia, Marge. She was so sweet and I am so glad that my kids got to meet her as well! She will always hold a special place in my heart!!!

While we were there we got to go see Uncle Greg and Aunt Kelly and swim in their pool and Kelly made us an awesome dinner! We love them to and it has been so much fun getting to know them better!

This pic is from our lunch in park city it was delicious! Thanks Dad and Deb!!! We love you!

OK back to Greg and Kelly's!

We also went to the Buxton Family reunion while we were up there and got to see family that I haven't seen in years! Good times!

Aunt Joyce is a very special person to me also so it was fun for her to see my little family (minus Buddy) she had never seen Luke so I'm glad we all got to spend a little time with her!

Baylee, Aunt Alice, Beau, Luke, Someone?, and Cousin Julie!

The kids and I at the Graves of my Grandparents Bernice and Alfred Buxton!

Our time with the crazy Australians!

2009-06-18T15:11:00.000-07:00

Wow, as you will all see we really have been so busy already this summer. But we were so luck to have our Dear Friends Pete, Mandy, and Josie from Australia come and visit us! Pete has been dear do our Family my entire life my Dad baptized him when he was on his mission and he has kept in touch all throughout the years. It was even more fun however for them to see our little family now since I haven't seen him since I was about 13 years old. I have changed a bit since then!

This is Baylee, Mandy, Luke, Beau, Josie, and Pete!

We got a chance to go with them to Bryce Canyon it was a little cold but it was still so much fun the kids and I had never been there either so we were way excited. And I cannot fail to mention the wonderful songs that Pete and Mandy taught the boys on the drive there. They have new words to I hope they call me on a mission. It is now and forever will be "I hope they send me to Australia so I can see Pete and Mandy too" It is really cute to hear them sing it!!

We laughed the entire time hiking through Bryce because Luke forgot his belt and had to hang onto his pants the whole time, or we all had a nice view of superman!

I love this Picture of the boys!! Classic!

We threw the kids in jail! Not long enough if you ask me!!!!

Pete and Mandy got a little crazy while they were here!!

Those dang kids!!

We had a blast as you can see and will forever cherish the friendships we all made and renewed while they were here!! And my boys will forever miss their new best friend "PETE"!!!!

T-Ball and Piano

2009-06-18T15:01:00.000-07:00

We put Beau in T-Ball this year and he was sooooooo excited! All he ever wanted to do was go outside and play ball!! He was actually pretty goos for a little kid he has one heck of an arm and every time he hit the ball he hit it past all the kids in the back!!! It was so much fun and I think it was really good for Beau to have something just for him!

Bay also took piano this year and she did really good too! She never ever complained about practicing (yeah right). Oh well she really does enjoy doing it and feels really good to know a few fun songs that she can play for everyone. This is a video of her Piano recital. GREAT job Bay and Beau!!! I have great kids!

2009-04-16T15:44:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter weekend as usual it was a fast trip up and back but it is always worth it! Deb put on another one of her fantastic Easter breakfasts and it was so good! She works so hard to put all these parties together and we hope she knows that we appreciate it! Then all the kids got to go hunt Easter eggs and they are all loaded now!

We got to meet Jan and Andy and Josh from Australia. My Dad baptized Andy like 100 years ago when he was on his mission there so that was fun! Buddy also went to Australia on his mission so it was fun for him to talk about people they new and remember the good old mission days. Jan and Andy were here to take their son Josh to the MTC in Provo on the 14th. They were awesome and we were so glad we got to meet them and spend a little time with them!

Little future missionaries hopefully to follow in Josh's footsteps! Good luck Josh!

and...... the Easter Bunny found us at Grandma and Grandpa's house the kids had fun and as usual got spoiled!

Catch Up!

2009-04-06T09:26:00.001-07:00

Wow A lot has happened in the last Month. So let's just start with this last weekend we went up to Otter Creek with Buddy's Family. Everyone was there except for Mandy and her little Fam. We froze our buns off and did a lot of casting an dnot so much fishing. Buddy caught the only fish of the day and it was a really nice Rainbow trout.

The kids all had a ton of fun catching crawdads and just playing on the beach!

This is Beau's cute little St. Patric's Day hat that they made in pre-school. He is doing so good in school, and we just had his Kindergarten registration and he did so good he knows all his Letters big and small and all their sounds so we are excited for him to go to school!!

It was Bays birthday on St. Patty's day.

I did her hair in a cute little clover and had her all decked out in green. We took her to lunch at the dairy freeze and made a big deal out of it she felt like queen of the day.

We had a little joint birthday with Bay and Beau with all of Buddy's Family Aunt Chelly and Unkle Gary came too with their kids it was so much fun. We had Sloppy joes and Salads and cake and Ice Cream! Good times we love all our Family and appreciate all their love and support.

Megan and Trevor and Kash came to visit in the middle of the month and that was fun too! Kash was ready to move right in with all these kids to entertain him! He rode the horse and jumped on the trampoline and LOVED the MEOW! W love them and wish we could see them more! We also went up to my Dad and Debs and had a little Bithday party for the kids up there they reall are so spoiled! Thanks again everyone!! Love ya!

Kash on the tramp with the kids!

Arizona Trip!! 90 Degree Weather!!

2009-03-05T17:16:00.000-08:00

WOW! We had such a great time in AZ. last weekend! The kids and I, my Mom Megan, and Kash all went down to Mesa to visit my Grandparents. We had some pretty crappy hands of pinochle but we still had fun!! We went to the World Wildlife Zoo and aquarium while we were there and had the time of our lives there you probably could've left Megan and I there for the rest of our lives and we would fit right in!!

This is us feeding the Giraffes.

We had a blast in the petting zoo and Megan got a little carried away making out with the Llamas. He was pretty cute Megan. However I might go for the monkeys less maintenance with the pretzels!

Had to get a shot of the Kangaroos for Buddy, takes him back to the good old Missionary days.

We got to feed the sting rays, it was soo weird but an experience that we won't soon forget!!

Bay got a little freaked out by this one he came at her as fast as he could to get the food from her so she dropped it!

We got to go in and feed the birds. They would land on you and eat the apples right out of your hand. It is really hard to see but there is a bird right on the top of Beau's head in this picture. It was hilarious! So much fun!

Beau and Luke in the petting zoo!

Bay with a brand new baby goat.

Megan and Bay with a baby deer.

The kids just hangin' out.

Kash teaching Bay how to play the piano.

Luke is so hot he takes after his Daddy!!

Luke and Kash playing the drums.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous while we were there!! between 80 and 90 the entire time! The kids loved it and played outside almost the entire time! When they weren't fighting over the Wii. We are so grateful to Grandma Jeri and Grandpa Jim for letting us invade them with all our kids, and there not so patient Mom. We love them so much!

We love coupons!

2009-02-20T16:37:00.001-08:00

OK, I know that I haven't always been a frugal person but you know.... times are tough. SO, I have really gotten into the whole sale watching, coupon cutting, money saving thing you know!!! So I was so proud of my self today I went to Albertson's sale to day and got all this food, 9 boxes of cereal, 10 loaves of Grandma sycamore bread, 6 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks, and 5 warm delights deserts all for ...................$27 I saved $78 It was awesome!!! I walked out of there feeling this total rush!!! This has been really fun and I just hope that even when business picks up and I can be smart and save all that money!!!

Bay's Pioneer project!

2009-02-20T16:30:00.001-08:00

The third graders have to do a pioneer project every year. I think it is really neat this community really makes sure that the kids think about our heritage and they do all kinds of things to remind them of it! So we decided to do homemade soap for her project, so this is Bay stirring the lye and the water.

You mix that with lard.

Then you have to cook it for two hours. I don't think she really thought I would make her do it but I did and she loved it as you can tell!!!!! Memories.....

Valentines Day!!

2009-02-20T16:25:00.000-08:00

OK I know that We are like way past Valentines Day but I haven't updated our Blog FOREVER!! Anyway, Buddy got me these beautiful flowers. They are still so beautiful today almost all of the Lillie's have opened up now! Roses would've been dead by now so I love my flowers! We went to dinner with the kids and Lloyd and Linda in Cedar. It was a great day!

Vegas trip!

2009-02-20T16:15:00.000-08:00

A few pics before we went to church on Sunday. All the kids looked so good and I really hadn't taken very many pics while we were there so I couldn't resist!

We always have a blast with Scott and Monica when we are there!! They really are more like family than friends! The kids had a blast too, Beau and Luke got pretty dang good on their Wii and they are obsessed with bowling now!

They fed us so good too!! We had some awesome steaks that Monica Marinated and I'm pretty sure Scott cooked! They also took us to a great Italian restaurant and we had some yummy Italian Ice cream! Thanks to Scott and Monica for showing us such a great time and being such great friends!!

Week of fun!

2009-01-03T16:30:00.001-08:00

We have had a dang fun week this last week My Dad and Deb came down to visit on Saturday and Meg and Trevor and Trevor's Bro Matt came Sunday.

Dad left Monday and Megan and Trevor (we thought they would never leave) Ha, HA, stayed for New Year's and left Thursday. We played games, Deb taught me how to make her delicious rolls, and that I need to pay a little more attention when I do, and Buddy Trevor and Matt had a blast bunny hunting. Buddy brought one home and cooked it up for them so we made sure to take pictures of them all enjoying their hillbilly dinner!! Welcome to Parowan!! We had a blast and are sad that it is all over and we will probably sleep for a week now to recover! Come again!!!!

Trip up North

2009-01-03T16:23:00.000-08:00

I just had to put this on our blog. On the 13th of December we were able to go up north to be a part of my Sisters Special Day! Megan was sealed to her sweet little family in the Bountiful Temple. It was such an awesome experience to be there with all of our family and have them bring sweet little Kash into the room dressed in white! This was also the first time I had ever been in the temple with my Grandparents, so that made it really special too! I just wanted to let Trevor and Megan know how proud of the I am and they are awesome!

Our Christmas!

2009-01-03T16:07:00.000-08:00

We had a great Christmas this year!!! The kids got everything they asked for and then some. Beau and Luke got Skateboards, a leapster and a Vmotion. Baylee got a camera and a scooter.

We have a family tradition with all the Millett clan to go up to the mountains and cut down our tree. It has been so much fun to do and this year we got a pretty good one!

All Puppies accounted for!!!!

2008-12-08T15:52:00.000-08:00

As you all know we have had the "joy" of raising 13 wild puppies. I told Buddy the other day that in some ways this has been so much fun and in other ways this has been a "Poopy" nightmare! In one day we had Beau who trying to help let all the puppies out into my basement for an hour and a half and I am sure you can all imagine what 13 puppies can do unsupervised in a basement for that amount of time. Needless to say the carpets HAVE to be cleaned when this is all over! Then my sweet little Luke got dog poop on his shoe and proceeded to walk down my stairs into Baylee's room and tried to then wipe off the poop into her carpet and when that didn't work he took his shoe off and wiped the rest of it off on her bed. I LOVE my kids but that day almost was their last!! Any way the good news.... they all have homes and will all be gone Friday the12th (with the exception of one who we are saving for a friend till Christmas)! HALLELUJAH! Buddy wants to do this again in the spring so I had to post this so that I could come back and remember how much fun it really was. The Puppies really are so dang cute and we will miss them a little when their gone!!!

Fun Times with Family

2008-12-01T11:19:00.000-08:00

Beau had a little too much fun with this one!

Sweet little Kash man!

It is about time someone hung these guys from the rafters!!!! Not long enough if you ask me!!

Mom and Ked! We love you!

I have the best kids!! I love them so much and am lucky that I get to be their Mom!

Brendan jumped in this one aren't they all so cute!

Bay and Sierra this just happened to be the only pic I got at the Millett's for Thanksgiving so it'll have to do unless I get some from Linda!

Dad and Deb with ALLLLLLL their Grandkids! Can you say CHAOS! They are all so cute!! We have a Great Family!

I just had to put this one on it is such a great picture of all of them!

Grandma and Grandpa with our kids we had a GREAT Pre-Thanksgiving weekend with them!

We had a wonderful crazy Thanksgiving Holiday! We started the weekend before thanksgiving at Dad's in Eden, and came home Sunday. Then we went to the Milletts for Thanksgiving Day and it was short but sweet we always have a good time there. Saturday we went to Aurora for the third and final Thanksgiving Dinner and had Family pictures! We had a blast everywhere we went and we weigh 20 pounds more now but it was all worth it!!!!

We're in Trouble!!

2008-11-20T09:53:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween Fun!!!!!

2008-10-31T22:07:00.001-07:00

Holy Power Rangers!!!! Have no fear they are here to save the day!! They both had a blast being ranger dudes but luke was so funny he would not take his mask off at all!

Talk about growing up!! Bay was a "Sassy Pirate" and she certainly played the part very well!! She was so cute and she had a blast too!

Another fun Halloween year for the Milletts!

We were also lucky enough to be invited to ride on the hay wagon by Coy and Casey our friends and that was really fun too! It really added to the whole experience and we definitely live in the country it was just like the good ol days!

How much fun we are so blessed to have the wonderful life that we have Icouldn't be happier!!

2008-10-30T08:06:00.000-07:00

Well here they are and here is the rest of the story.

Our sweet innocent dog Lexi became impregnated with the town mutt. A discrace I know however we still love her!

Here's sweet # 1 Buddy named him spot.

Then came two aren't they cute they look like their mommy thank goodnes!

Then four.....

Then Seven......... not done yet....

Then 11 and I thought for sure we were done so at 11:30 I went to bed after a grouling day being Grandma. Lexi did a great job she was so tired that the she could hardly get the 11th one out without help so I thought "there's no way she could have more right?" Wrong.. this morning we started cleaning up the mess and moving puppies and as we did there was 14 total she had 3 more after I had gone to bed! What a good Mom she is and I was so proud her and can't believe that she had the strength to do it!! Good job lexi!!

Yee-Haw Fun at The Iron County Fair!

2008-08-31T10:59:00.000-07:00

Beau and Luke at the petting zoo with a cute little baby Goat! How fun!!
Bay joining in on the action!
The kids had so much fun and this is the kids trip aroung the fair on the train!
We have some pretty cool artists hee in Parowan and got some incredible paintings on our faces! (and arm)
The kids let me join in on the fun too! I just had to make Baylee promise not to throw up on me. This was her first big kid ride and she loved it!
Buddy opted out of the strawberry go round even though he has always had a thing for Strawberry shortcake!
The kids were like "That was awesome" so we had to capture it!
Nothin' like cotton candy at the fair.

and...... it was our 10 year aniversary so I made Buddy pose for at least one picture with me. Aren't we cute?

Cheesers!

Total Biker dude! watch out Dad and Tyler Beau is going to be rumbling on a Harley before you know it!

We had a blast this weekend! You all really should consider coming down on labor day from now on, Parowan really knows how to put on a show! We went to the carnival, part of the rodeo, we had cotton candy, funnel cakes, went to the petting zoo, watched the horse races, shopped, rode the train, and we hit almost every ride there was to hit. Baylee even went on the zipper with me and we have finally found something that she is actually afraid of. She screamed to get off the ride the whole time, even though she begged me to go on it in the first place! Anyway, We had a ton of fun as a family and that is the most important thing right! It was our 10 year aniversary Friday and I really was overcome with gratitude! I LOVE Buddy so much! He really is a man that lives his life with integrity and I really look up to him in so many ways! So thank you Buddy for 10 great years and many more to come!!! YEE-HAW! I ride Bandit in the parade again this Monday so wish us luck it went well last time but you never know!!! Love you all!!!!

Wow we are patriotic!

I am so grateful for my own little Family I have an amazing Husband that I love sooo much and three beautiful kids that are so loving and friendly! And not to brag too much but I have to tell the story of Lukes heroic efforts to rescue the whistle from the water! I was so proud of him as a little three year old he jumped into the lake to retrieve Brendan's whistle without any hesitation! It is so good to see their little personalities form and it is good to know that he naturally wants to help others! I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!! Thanks Dad and Deb for making it all happen! You guys are awesome and we all had an absolute blast!!!!

Tropic Camping Trip

2008-07-08T09:36:00.000-07:00

Well we had a ton of fun over the fourth, so I just wanted to post a few pictures of our camping trip to tropic. We had a blast. We packed the tent but the tent wasn't in the bag so we slept outside in the back of the truck and the kids slept in Kim and Jeff's trailer (Thanks Kim I owe you!)We also took the horses and had so much fun riding all over the mountain I took Kelly's girlfriend Mesha for a fun ride Sat. and Buddy and I went on one later that day but Sunday was our adventure day! We headed out and it was so warm and sunny and we took the kids and headed out for a fun memorable family ride! And it was definitely memorable! We got up the road and it started to rain, snow, hail, you name it! It was fun but it was really cold! So we rode back as fast as we could singing in the rain and laughing about how we will never forget this horse ride. By the time we got back we were definitely ready to wrap up in a blanket and get out of our soaking wet clothes! I LOVE my family so much they are great! Thanks to Linda we have all these great pictures to remember this fun trip to tropic, since we forgot to bring our camera! We have a ton more pictures so I'll do a slide show too!

4th of July

2008-07-04T15:50:00.001-07:00

OK, so I know you all get kind of sick of all my horse stuff, But...... This has been such an awesome day for me! I rode Bandit my sweet baby whom I trained myself from the time he was 1 1/2 years old, in the 4th of July parade. This was only the second time he had ever even carried a flag and he had never been in a parade. HE WAS AWESOME!!!! He has been the funnest horse ever to work with and all of you who knew about my horse Rocky can understand that it is so nice to work with a horse that actually learns something after you teach him! I was so proud of him! Anyway Buddy didn't take any pictures of the kids so you just get me and Bandit! The kids had a ball though and got plenty of candy and tattoos. Dad's just don't think like that I guess! What a great 4th of July! We're going up to Brian Head for fireworks tonight and to Tropic Reservoir to ride horses tomorrow. Maybe we'll have a few more pic after that I just couldn't wait to post this!!!! Love you all!

Beau is alway out for a good time and loves to be outside and active! We love you Beau and are so lucky to have you in our Family!
