Yee-Haw Fun at The Iron County Fair!

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!!!!

Bay's First day of school!


Wow our little girl is really growing up!! We are so proud of Baylee! She is so smart and I'm sure this year will be the same as all the other years and she will be at the top of her class! Bay loves to learn new things and is so excited to start school again!


Baylee with her new 3rd Grade teacher Mrs. Robinson. So far Bay really likes her and says she doesn't even beat the kids yet. So we'll see how the rest of the year goes! We have heard great things about Mrs. Robinson so we are really excited for Bay to have her this year!

Wow, as you can tell we had an absolute blast at Lake Powell! We have a great Family and we have all come so far! I am so grateful to have a family that I know I could count on if I need them, or get LONELY! 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









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






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!
