We LOVE fishing...

Well, I don't like fishing.

But I love that Madi will spend all day with her Dad while fishing.

They have so much fun together.

We spent the day up at Payson Lakes and had so much fun.

We LOVE the Arielympics!!!

My sweet baby sister, Ariel, puts together the Arielympics for our Family Reunion.

The kids have so much fun with this!!!

Ariel thanks so much for putting this all together!

I know it stresses you out...but it is so worth it in the end.

Madi, tossing a water balloon while using her bowling stance.

Love it!
I had to put a picture of this!
This is my little (and only) brother, Andy and my little sister Sara.
We were passing balloon from chin to chin.
It was so funny to watch the awkwardness of these two trying to do it.
Sara could not stop laughing!
It was hilarious!
P.S. If anyone wants to date my brother, please contact me IMMEDIATELY!!!


Thanks again, Ariel!!!

We LOVE to earn our keep.

I knew Madi was a hard worker.

I knew she liked working with her Dad.

But I had no idea she would stick with him all day long, working.

They got a lot of stuff done on the farm for Grandpa.
Whatever Madi was asked to do, she did.

She is such a good girl.

Cassi even helped for a few minutes.
She starts helping...then kinda forgets what she is doing and goes onto something else.
She must be related to me.
She really wanted to help...but SO MANY other things were calling her name!

Little Elsie helped by keeping Grandma company in the house.

It is so nice to go to bed absolutely exhausted. And there is nothing else that can exhaust you more then working around the farm. There is no better feeling!

We are LOVIN' outdoor BBQ's

Especially corn on the cob!!!

MMMMM......

It was a little cooler today, and we decided to take advantage and have a little BBQ.

It has been a lot of fun here.

The kids are always kept busy.

*Helping (playing) at Grandpas store.

*Playing in Lexi's new mansion playhouse.

*Lots of coloring and drawing special picture for Grandma.

*Fighting...which they aren't supposed to do!!!

*Lots of long walks, and runs, up and down the lane.

*Visiting with family...

There is always something fun and exciting to do...

Wonder what we will do tomorrow!

Cass...eating with Grams and Gramps.

This little Elsie is walking up a storm. She is starting to get so comfortable with walking on her own. It still amazes me to watch her. She is one AMAZING little girl. She had a little fall, and she was pretty upset (magnified by no nap)...so she laid on Porters Emmy blanket outside and cuddles with that dumb dog of ours. She sure loves him. But we are so proud of Elsie and her hard work.

You rock, Elsie Rose!!!

We LOVE the County Fair

Today we took the kids and two cousins, Heather and Lauren, to the Uinta County Fair.

We had a whole bunch of fun!

Spent way too much money, on not enough rides...

But that's just how it goes.

The kids got to see bunnies, goats, sheep, pigs, cows...all sorts of farm animals.

They loved it.

It was a hot day, but not too bad.

We all had a lot of fun!

The girls really enjoyed the magic show.

The little ones LOVED the train...I know it doesn't look like Porter likes it...but that is just his normal scrunched up serious look.

This is what we are doing now...

Wish us luck!!!

Safe and sound in good 'ol Wyoming!

I LOVE last minute V.T.ing!!!

Okay, so it is last minute cause I won;t have time to get it done before the end of the month!!!

So I made a treat, which by the way, I couldn't get it to look really yummy in the picture...but they are so yummy!!!

So my V.T. is done.

As I was putting them on the plate I remembered that one of my families has a little girl allergic to peanuts...yikes...so I stuck some vanilla sandwich cookies in there...hope they work out.

I should be a better Visiting Teacher!!!

No last minute next month...my other family is having a baby mid-month...and you know I will be there visiting then!!!

I LOVE good friends!!!

This is the last time the three of us {Jenni, Annie and I} will be together, at least until next year.

I miss the old days when we used to go running together...and do everything together...

Scott, move Annie back home!!!

I LOVE 'getting to it'!!!

Nope...it is not done yet.

I have been so scared to start.

It is such a BIG quilt.

I didn't know how to stitch it and have it still be manly...

Couldn't decide on a thread color.

Finally, I just dove in.

I hope it turns out.

Hopefully soon I will have the finished product to show!

But I can tell you I won't get much done if this little one keeps keepin' these late night hours!!!

GO TO BED ELSE!!!

(By the way, this is my 500th post!!! Holy 'mokes!!! That's a lot!!!)
