Halloween 2012

 Meet Norm and Gertie... they are the cutest old couple!!

Rylan had so many compliments on his costume I lost count.  Ry has always been a bit of an old soul, wise beyond his years... so this really fit him!

At some point...Granny became quite creepy!

Rolex was dressed as a chicken!

Grandma was pretending to be really old Grandma.

Rodeo and Chaps

One thing Jace has done alot of this summer is rodeo'ed.  Today was not such a good day for him, he got hurt before he ever even left the chute.  The dang steer would not cooperate with him one bit.

Jace really needed some chaps so my mom and dad got him a pair.  We picked them up today and are thrilled with the way they turned out.  We are hoping to get at least 3 years out of them!!

Since Jace placed 1st in the Emmett rodeo he qualified for the ICA Finals in a couple of weeks.  We are so excited he gets to experience this!!

School 2012

1st day of school, 2012.  4th and 2nd grade... sigh, where has the time gone :(

BSU Jamboree 2012

Can you imagine the excitement a 9 year old would feel if they got to play football on the blue turf?  Jace got to do just that last weekend during his jamboree.   He said it was one of the coolest things he has ever done. Rylan got to play in BSU's indoor arena, he thought that was pretty neat too.

Summer 2012

Here is a very small glimpse into our summer that went way to fast!

Update... and State

We have been busy, busy, busy!  Like tonight we have an evening at home with nothing to do...we haven't had one of those on a weeknight in at least 5-6 weeks!  I am so excited for tonight :)  Jace has been wrestling and playing baseball, Rylan will start baseball in a couple of weeks, just as Jace is getting done with his. 

A couple of weeks ago we went to state wrestling in Idaho Falls and Jace ended up 5th in his bracket, there was 13 to start with.  we were so proud of him!  he wrestled the hardest he had done all season and he had to wrestle some really tough kids from all over the state.

We got our pigis for 4H and Jace named them Rosie and Tilly, they are so cute!  I will have to post some pictures.  We are looking forward to fair week this year, always such a fun time!!

I am done with school this week, just finals left and then I am done until August!  Somehow between everything else we have going on I have maintained my 4.0 for another semester!!!  I am taking some pretty tough classes in the Fall so we will see if that GPA continues :)

We recently aquired a new car and I cannot wait to get it out of the shop and start driving it, the boys think it is the coolest car ever... it has a DVD player in it :)  Below is a picture of it....

Happy Birthday Rylan!

My baby is 7.  I can't believe it has happened, but it has.  Rylan is such an amazing little boy and he brings so much joy to our lives!  I never know what is going to come out of his mouth next and it usually makes me quite nervous, he defenitely keeps me on my toes.  He knows what he believes and no one is going to tell him differently.  He goes with his heart and not what is popular... he is quite a kid.  He loves, loves, loves his little cousins and he is so good to them!

We did not do a friend party this year because when we sat down to make his list there was about 25 by the time he was done, he couldn't bear to cut 1 person out and I don't have a house or a vehicle big enough for 25 so he chose to not do one so no one's feelings got hurt because they couldn't come.  See, the kid has a heart the size of Texas!  So, I wanted to make sure he got an extra special birthday from us.  Friday he got to go to Texas Roadhouse, Saturday we went to Wahooz and Sunday we had family over.  He had such a great weekend!!  I sure do love this little guy.....
