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!

Luke



Luke is a total Character! He always has a big smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye! He learned to be quite cuddly and will sit with just about anyone for hours! He like the other two loves to have fun and be outdoors with the family! He has been a great last "human" addition to our Family and we're sure glad now that we didn't stop at 2!!! We love you Luke Thanks for being such a joy to our Family!

Beau



Beau is our lover boy! He always wants to be your best bud and is very sensative to the people around him. I am a little worried about when he gets big enough to really notice the girls since how we have already had to deal with his first kiss! McKall Burton is a lucky girl indeed! 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!

Baylee


Baylee is such a fun-loving girl! She truely has a heart of gold and our family truely would not be the same without her! She is such a sweetheart! She helps us out so much, around the house and out in the yard and by being such a great example to her little brothers! We feel so lucky to have Bay as a part of our family and we hope she knows just how much we love her! She is so talented! She does so good on our horse Strider, she has a GREAT voice, she makes friend with ease because she is so nice to everyone she knows and this girl can swim like a Fish!! You're awesome Bay, we love you!!!
