Tweve years and still going!!

Seventeen years ago I met this cowboy while dragging main (yes that was then in thing back then) whom I said I would marry someday. Five years later we were finally married (what took you so long). This weekend we celebrated our 12th anniversary. I won't say that it has been twelve perfect years (but who can) but we have had some wonderful times together. I am married to a wonderful man and father to our children, he cherishes his kids and works very had to provide and take care of our family. Thank you for being such a great dad and husband, I couldn't ask for a better man.

Today we caught butterflies, caterpillars and grasshoppers and put them in a jar I don't think they will last long kanon filled the jar half full of water so they could have a drink and swim. He so cute! He checks on them all day to make sure they are doing ok.

Kanon got up this morning 1st thing he said to me was:

Kanon: "Where are the boys?"

Me: "They went to school"

Kanon "Then were is your phone?"

Me: "In my pocket"

Kanon: "I need it "

Me: "Why"

Kanon: "So I can call dad and go to work with him"


So he took the phone and called his dad and told him to come and pick him up. wow 4 years old and he is pretty good at calling thoes he wants to talk to on the phone.

And that was all he wanted me for. So he headed off to get ready to go to work.

Back to School

Well today the boys went back to school. I am actually sad I have really enjoyed them being home and doing things with them. I feel like the summer flew by and we still had alot we wanted to do. They were excited they wanted to see their friends that they have not seen all summer. (I don't blame them) I thought now that they are in school I would do some catch up well Kanon see's things a different way he decided he now has me all to himself. Thats ok.

We had our 2nd to last final race for our series this weekend and they all did awesome. It is a little sad to think the summer has flown by that fast it seems like we just started for the year and now it is over, and they have improved so mush. Bracken had to switch classes he couldn't stand not being able to jump any longer. It makes me a little nervous watching him and wondering if he is going to crash (so far so good nothing major). The boys have done awesome this year Daxton is sitting 1st in his class and Kaysen is sitting 2nd in one class and 3rd in the other. Way to go boys!!!

Look at you go babe you got a little air!!!

Daxton Turns 7

Daxton had his 7th birthday up Cub River at his Grandma's lot. We had alot of fun. We floated down the river on tubes. Bracken didn't think that was to fun he kept hitting rocks and he fell in I guess I don't blame him. The boys also were fishing and Daxton actually caught one that made his day. His uncle Tyler cooked it up for him but he didn't really care for it so Kaysen ate it. Daxton has grown into such a lovable child he has a smile that is always there and he is always willing to help out if he can. (There still is that mean streak now and then don't get me wrong) We love him very much.

Daxton, Harlee and Tately They all can't belive Daxton really caught a fish.



Brooke, Tately, Trenton and Kanon floating down the river. The three little ones didn't think that was really that neat.

Me and Daxton I had a few bruises on my butt and legs when we were through but it was still fun

Kaysen always made it down way before everyone else I guess it helps being lite.


Daxton and grandma Syndee they weren't able to make it to his birthday party but came over before, he couldn't understand why they still couldn't come for cake and icecream.

I made him a spaceship cake for his birthday and I thought it turned out pretty good well on the way to the canyon I guess it got a little warm cuz when we got up there all the frosting had slide off the cake. O-well it was still good.

Jet Skiing at Bear Lake

We all went to bear lake and rode jet ski's. We had a really fun time. Our kids our speed demons ( I wonder were they get that from). It was cloudy when we got there and right after we turned the jet ski's back it started pouring on us so we sat under the awning and waited the rain out. It was still a good time.

Kaysen was particular about his horse looking good for the Preston Night Rodeo. He spent a long time getting her looking good. When he came back the first night after riding in the parade he said I don't want to ride in here anymore everyone says how cute I am and I don't like that. (really I think he liked it). Pokadot did pretty good in the grand entry she bucked him a little and made him a little nervous but he never fell off.

Boys Will Be Boys

I don't know if you can see it very well but the boys thought they would build themselves a pool in the sand box they dug a deep hole and then filled it with water and then played in it. They had a blast.
