Hunting with Dad

Rick took Cody out for his first early morning hunt, the Dove. He got up at 5:30 without a problem, he camo'd out and off they went to Cornish. He came back with such a tired happy smile. they were able to get one. I love it when they make those first long lasting memories.

The amazing Women in my Life

So this is just a short little shout out to my 2 best friends and neighbors. They are always there to pick me up when I am down, force me to use public facilities, lay out in my back yard, shop at the D.I., gather at social functions, and lend a listening ear. These two amazing ladies ran the Top of Utah half marathon today! they have been training for months (don't ask why I didnt do it, I started training with them, but I am really not ready to share my long list of lame excuses, back to them..) I was so proud of them for accomplishing this 13 point something mile race. It truly takes courage, dedication, commitment and a positive attitude. so here's to you Annie and Jaci congrats!

First day of Kindergarten

Well It's finally here. Trever has been the only one going to school for years, today our baby girl started Kindergarten. She is so beautiful. She had her hair pulled back and she looked like Cody, in a good way, they really are related. She picked out her outfit of course. From here on out the fight is on, she wants to wear this, I say she can't luckily its over shoes not short shorts, and mini skirts. She got on the bus with all the confidence in the world, never looked back, it was hard for me, I got emotional. Now it's just cody and I alone, what do I do? It is a good thing to be able to be with him, I wonder what adventures we are all about to embark on as we each head down a new road this school year. Breena is very bright, happy and easily makes friends she will be amazing at whatever she decideds to do.

I am learning to ride my bike!

Rick and I havent been good parents when I comes to teaching the younger 2 how to ride without training wheels, they can totaly do it, but they haven't gotten past the fear, so Rick worked with them today and it was amazing!~

OMG Is this for real? I've only waited 22 months (isn't that an elephants gestational period?)

So without further delay since we have had plenty here is the beautiful bed Ricky started in November of 07. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift, now it's just a gift. He has spent so much time into this and it really shows. The kids helped put the final coats of polyurathane! It looks amazing! now I wonder what it will look like in my room? Its HUGE! Finally some freedom to not fall off the bed, it should be big enough for Rick and I (and Breena and Cody and Trever and stuffed animals and ..)

First Day of 3rd Grade

Trever started 3rd grade today, it was weird, he is now in a different school so I am unfamiliar with the layout and therefor not very comfortable. I always hate knowing that in an emergency we are spread out all over. He decided to wear his Transformers t-shirt. I made him ride the bus for the first day. We are close enough for him to ride his bike, but He also needs to know the bus cause he isn't riding a bike in the middle of winter. This is one of his best friends Jayse. They have been buddies since we moved here. I don't have a single first day of school year without a picture of him.

The new set has arrived

Rick decided to put down bark so he spent a good part of today putting down rail road ties, black stuff and bark! I really think it's going work. The playset didn't come until later this evening so we took all the kids to the neighbors house (she fed us) and we played so we wouldn't be stalking the poor set up guys. The men were the first to try it out, it passed and now its playtime. a little side note, I went to the instacare yesterday and it's only bruised not broken, Softball here I come!
