Halloween... Oregon Trip! :)

So this past October was a very eventful one!... I was lucky enough to be able to go on a "Girls Only" trip with my two sisters, mom, & my niece. We had such a BLAST! :) We had so many laughs, good talks, & tons of site seeing. It was AMAZING! Oregon is BEAUTIFUL! Especially in the autumn season. It was great to get away but it was nice to get back home to my boys! Halloween was a blur for us because everything seemed to run together... (my trip, getting ready for snow, & of course Halloween) I swear everything just all happens way to quickly! We've been having lots of fun lately but I have had so little time to make a post! :)

Billings Montana Wrangler Championships 2009

Here are a few shots of the fun we had while getting away to Billings for about 4 days. I LOVE Montana! Hazen had to try his luck on the roping dummy. He took his turn along side of the other "older" boys who were like 14-16 yrs. old. He didn't care, he just wanted to rope. :) Doug & I both roped in the championships there in Billings. This was from about 3wks ago but I'm finally getting it posted. Sorry. :)

 

From Baby to Big BOY!!

Hazen is getting so grown up it's unbelievable! Today I spent the day cleaning & doing a few things around the house... not to mention take down all of his baby bedding & put his BIG BOY bed up! I about started to bawl. I cannot believe he's too big for that dang crib!... Actually, I can I just didn't want to have to admit it. :) It was kind of hard for me to make the change, but it was well over due.

This is a picture of Hazen's room before w/ his crib still up...

& these last two pic's are w/ the new bed put up. He was so excited to have his "BIG BOY" bed up that he had to hurry & test it out. He told me, "OK mom I'm ready, take the picture... CHEESE!" He's such a ham! We love this little guy. Now we are just crossing our fingers that he'll realize he's getting bigger & want to be a big boy & go on the toilet... UGH! BOYS! LOL! Any suggestions would be WONDERFUL.

"Summer Livin!"

Awh . . . SUMMER!! It's been a fun & very busy one. It's almost been 2 whole months since I've last posted anything. Why is it that summer always seems to fly by so quickly? Especially in IDAHO where the weather is un-predictable! :) We managed to fit plenty of exciting things into our time frame, & plenty of productive things also. These pictures are a collection of just some of the summer events that have kept us busy: swimming, Lagoon, mowing the lawn, hauling hay, spending time w/ family, spotting game in our back yard, washing horses, George Strait concert, Montana, & of course ROPING! Sorry I haven't elaborated on anything, but we've just been goin goin. I will be a faithful blogger just as soon as things slow down a bit. ;)

Wyatt & Kelsi Kinghorn June 26th, 2009

Wyatt & Kelsi tied the knot just this last Friday. It was such a great day! I can't believe my baby brother is all married off. We love Kelsi & are so glad she's part of our family!! Congratulations again guys . . . Love you both!

Here are a few pictures throughout the day that i just love.

Logan Zoo . . . Housten's 4th Birthday!

On June 16th . . . (again behind on posts) but we had gone down to Franklin to my Sister Tyree's for her oldest boy Housten's birthday. We had tons of fun going to lunch, the Logan zoo, & hanging out together! What a fun time! Here are a few pictures from our eventful day at the zoo.

Rigby Stampede Rodeo

This time of year is crazy for us. Doug enjoys going to local rodeos, & we have a fun time watching & of course I love taking some "action pictures." Here are a few from the Rigby Sampede Rodeo the first part of June, & of course I'm behind w/ my posts! :) We went to support Doug, & my lil bro Wyatt. It was a great day. Prior to the rodeo we had gone to a memorial team roping & Doug won 1st place! Too bad his luck didn't carry over to the rodeo. He had a nice run but broke the barrier. My brother on the other hand had a greagt night winning the steer wrestling w/ a 4.0. Also, I'm pretty proud of this neat picture of my Dad!
