Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

The best place to carve pumkins is on the back of a truck tailgate next to the ditch.Sharianne gets "guts" on her fingers and shakes her hands making them fly in Jaspurs hair. Jay found a mustache at the halloween store and thought it would be funny to go as my dad for Halloween. Don't think my dad was too impressed.

First Day of school August 2010

This is Jaces first day of 4th grade. Jaspurs first day of 1st grade and Sharianne's first day of Kindergarten. Wow how time really does fly. I got a picture of Sharianne and Wyatt out waiting for the school bus.

Games Cowboys Play

My sister Tana was in charge of a cowboy fun night at the South Bannock County Fair. There was all sorts of crazy games like wild cow riding, bedroll races and the hide race. This Wiley my nephew pulling someone on a cow hide behind his horse. This is Wiley again lookin at tad bit dazed. His bronc got a little broncy and well you can see what happened. But the hide race has had it's deal with curses I swear every year someone get's hurt. There was games for adults and kids she did such a good job putting it together.

FiShY..fiSHy

Jacoby's Farewell, Temple Square and Hogle Zoo.

 I thought it would be neat to take of picture of the boys with Jacoby and then when he comes home from his mission in Hong Kong we will take another one to see how much all three of them have grown.  After the farewell we went to Temple Square. I have been wanting to take the kids in the winter to see the lights but that hasn't happened yet. But it was so pretty in the summer too. These pictures were taken at the top of the conference center. We also went to the visitors center. They had a new exhibit on display and it is a miniature of what the  Salt Lake Temple looks like on the inside we even had to wait in line to see it there was alot of people. The next day we went to Hogle Zoo. One of my favorite places. The funniest thing that day was when we seen the howler monkey's when we got up to the cage Jaron told Cade to be quiet. He thought Cade was screaming but it was the  monkey. We could have watched it all day. I love the picture Jay took of the cat looking animal. I don't even know what it was but I think the flash on the camera made it squint like that.       

Bancroft 24th of July

 

 

 

 

 The 24th of July would not be the same without going to Bancroft. I think I have went almost every year since I was born. They have a parade every year that starts at 10:00 a.m. It is one of the biggest parades I have ever seen especially for a small town like Bancroft, Idaho. They best part is when you think the parade is over there it is coming  back down the parade route. You get your fill of Bit-o-Honey, Tootsie Rolls and Saltwater Taffy to last until Halloween. After the parade we go watch the rodeo usually because a few people we know are in it or one of our kids. Jace and Jaspur have both rode sheep and calves there. This year Jace rode a steer. I was  so proud of him he almost rode the whole 8 seconds. I take a picture almost every year of the kids fast asleep before we even make it on the Highway to head home. Such a fun day with friends, family, rodeo, and of course the over dose of sugar. They are extremely tuckered out. I know there will a time when I won't be able to come and celebrate the 24th in Bancroft but I will have such fond memories.    

The True Sharianne

 This is for all the people who think Sharianne is a precious little Angel. Now what do ya think? Don't get me wrong I love my daughter very much. She is usually a really good girl for everyone except her mom. But I think I see this face more than not during a day.

 My dad, Janice and there boy Bo. Don't ask what the thing is on my dad's head it is a funky hat that apparently he is shading himself from the sun with..haha

Dax's Brithday Party July 2010

 We don't get to see Drew and his family very often so it is alot of fun when we get together. It is nice Dax has a birthday in July because it is nice and warm. The kids played in the water all day long.  

Target Practice

 One of our favorite past times is taking the horses out to the desert and riding. When we are done with the horses we take a second and do a little shooting, even the girls. 

THE BIG BLUE

This is Jay's Truck that he loved! But we didn't love the price to keep it every month. The kids nick named it The Big Blue, it was from Finding Nemo. That is how one of the fish describe the Ocean. We ended up selling it but glad we have pictures of it.

Albion at the Chatburn's

      We went to Albion to Lyndsey and Cody's baby girl Jetta's baby blessing. What a pretty place, I love Albion I had never been there before then. The kids had a blast playing outside, they were bugging me for weeks about when we were going to go back.

Summer 2010

 I Love this picture of Wyatt in deep thought or so it looks and the horses in the background. Jaspur trying to get Ryker to look up at the camers.  Tire swings make the perfect bucking bronc practice. Kash is the one trying to make it bounce and Wyatt is trying to make it buck for Jaspur.  Aww..Ryker have you not seen a cuter head of hair?
