Rodeo

We went to the Rodeo this weekend. It was tons of fun, the kids had a great time Ava tried to run off only a couple of times ha ha. I usually get a little bored myself but this time was great it was over before I knew it. I don't think there was as much entertainment between events. I think that was great. There was a five year old in the barrel race amazing I thought. No way I ever would have done that at five.


I had to throw this picture in of me because I think Ava and I look a lot alike. What do you think?

These two love to dress the part. I think they make great cowboys!

CRAFTY

this is the back

This is the front, I got all of this at the dollar store for 10$ quite a deal I thought. Now I have a halloween center piece for my table.

family pictures

new family pictures, so hard with 2 yr olds Ava was a mess. I should say she is a mess. But we will keep her.

photo shoot of Mindy

So I decided that I needed to get some shots of my single self for a few reasons. A. I'm down 30 lbs B. LDS web site profile C. Facebook D. My mom needs a new picture of me without the wedding dress. My amazing sister Amy took these (Amy Hansen Design) she has been feeling like she isn't a good photographer I think these pictures speak for them selves.She did a great job! Thank you xoxo!!!

Family reunion

Family is so important. My grandma has done a great job at keeping her family together, I get to see my cousins all the time and we are pretty close. I love going to the cabin for our reunions its a lot of work when your in charge but it is worth it. Every one gets there feelings hurt every once in a while but it is important to forgive and move on, this is so hard to do with family and extended family but it is so rewarding in the end. This is what life is all about.


There is always work to be done at the cabin






What good is a reunion without a fish pond?

Graydon and Jude riding Holy Moly. The kids had a great time riding this little pony. He is so good he just walks around the kids had a great time.

the big boys had a little boxing match, this was hilarious to watch

these 2 were born on the same day Rigby was smaller than Jude at birth but he had made up for it .

New Family Picture

Me and the boys

Mommy's little girl

My sister took our pictures I thought they turned out really cute. Ava doesn't love to sit still and get her picture taken but considering that we took them at 9:00 at night she did remarkable well. I love my kids so much they are the reason I get up in the mornings. My boys help me so much and I know they rather be doing other things. I wanted to be in all white because they are my little angels that make me smile and remember what is really important in life. FAMILY what would we do without it. It is the greatest gift our Father in Heaven gave us. I will do my best to raise his children in this life so when we meet him again in the next life I can say I did my best and was faithful in all you asked of me as a mother and a daughter of God.

Been busy!

Love my sister she is my rock

I got to go to Lake Havasu with Amy and Jayson last weekend to watch Jay race. It was a nice break with out the 4 other children, Jude was perfect he is such a good baby. I put some of Jays pictures up so you could see, he took second place it was really fun to watch.

I painted Ava and Jude's room it turned out really good I thought, I have a little toddler bed for Ava that I painted pink that will go on the pink wall but she is still in the crib for the moment.

I love this little man

I was a little nervous when Jude was first born that he was gonna be a cry er but he is isn't he is so good, he slept 7 hours the other night which is so good for 2 months old.

I thought this was a funny picture look at that double chin!!!

He is so cute and getting so big my sis in law said he has a little of all his siblings in him and I cant agree more. He looks like all of us.
