Addyson turns 3

June 6th we celebrated our little Addy's birthday. She is such a sweetheart. We had a fun party at the park. Some of her friends came over and we had a bar-b-que and water fight. They had lots of fun. This is her showing off her starfish necklace that she got from her aunt Ree Ree.

She is our little princess. She tells me that she is going to be a princess and Rigdon is going to be the prince for Halloween.

Cute little table and chair from her Lala and Papa. Thank you everyone for helping Addy have a wonderful Birthday. Here are 3 of the biggest reasons we love Addy

1. She is such a big helper
2. Everyday she tells me she loves me about 20 times
3. She plays with Camden so I can get something done.

We love you Addy. You make our home such a fun place to be. Hope you know how much we love you.

Branding 2010

I know I am way overdue on the posting. Camera issues, that is my excuse. Back in the end of May we do the yearly branding. Here are some pictures. My Dad broke down and got a shoot, so there wasn't too much excitement, at least no one was kicked or stepped on while trying to wrestle the calves. There is always some excitement when branding.

Much easier doing it this way than roping and wrestling the calves.

Sweet Camden just chillin

Here's our cowboy but he wasn't too sure about riding a calf this year. He said he will just stick with the sheep.

Easter

We have sort have started a tradition with our family for Easter. The past few years we have gone down to the valley to watch the Easter Pageant. It is always such a special event where you can remember the Savior and the meaning of Easter. This year Rigdon was able to understand a lot more. We usually get there early and grab KFC to eat while we wait.

Dying the eggs is a must.

Waking up and finding the eggs

Then for breakfast we have creamed egg gravy and toast points thanks to Colby's mom. Then of course Colby's brother cooks a lamb. The only time I will eat it is when he makes it. It is one of those things that you have once a year. We had a wonderful Easter. How grateful I am for the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Only through Him can we live again.

Flying Lessons

Who wants to be flying on this plane? Their aunt Ree Ree took them to the Falcon Field airport to check out the planes. This was a special treat for them to actually get inside.

They had so much fun. Thanks Ree Ree for taking us to the airport!

Camden's Blessing

On March 7th we blessed this handsome boy. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is such a good baby and I love it. Still working on sleeping through the night. He was doing good for a while and then everything changed. Me having a terribly bad hair day. I need Leon.

Camden and his handsome Dad.

This is the best that we could get. Rigdon hates pictures so this is about as good as it gets.

The suite is from his Grandma Crandell and the beautiful blessing blanket is from his Great Grandma that makes one for all of her great grand kids.

I'm seeing more Addy in him every day. I love this stage where he is starting to laugh and coo, and smile at anyone and everyone. We love you Camden

Ragnar Relays

I am way behind on my blog. I haven't been able to upload my pictures to my computer until now. I don't know what was going on. We deleted some pictures off my camera and then it worked so maybe that was the reason, who knows. So at the end of February Colby decided to run in the Ragnar Relay. For those of you who don't know what that is it is a relay that starts in Prescott and ends in Tempe. The race is 204 miles split up between 12 people who all ride in a couple of vans because the race is nonstop. They each have 3 different legs that they run. This is Colby at the end of the race. He survived.
Leon got him hooked. Before the race began he was saying that it might be his first and last. Well at the end he thought it was fun and wants to go next year. Not too bad for never running before in his life.
This is all of the people except for the last leg. They are all waiting for him to show up and cross the finish line. My brother Leon and his wife Amy, my sister- in- law Jenny, and my Dad all ran in it. From the looks on their faces you wouldn't know that they were all sleep deprived, and sore from running all day and night. Anyone want to join us next year? Let me know
