the summer started out with a great girl's trip to disneyland!  Then the next week the Oakies came for a long visit (but never long enough!) 

it's been a while.......

Spring Break in Moab

Ry was out of school for spring break so we headed to Moab to find the sun!




this is an older post, but I never quite got around to publishing it.  I was having technical difficulties.  Obviously it continues, the same picture in on here twice!! opps!!

blessings and cupcakes!

Tukker finally had his blessing day, this is his white shirt and tie. It still isn't easy to find clothes to fit that tiny boy. Mmmmmmm....Spagetti and meatball cupcakes, they really are cupcakes. Yes, Misty is now the queen of cupcakes.

Darby is home and hating the cold and snow...she says she is going to kill all the world especially the dogs

I have an idea!!!

Kevin has been talking for a long time about building a new shop out back, (for what?), maybe I just don't listen or something, but when I came home on thursday Andy was just pulling in with a whatdayacallit....trackhoe and then there was some digging and smashing and then a little something another to do with a hidden water line and then there was some mud and more crashing sounds and anywho......... I guess we are getting a shop!!! yahoo!!! finally!!! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now. Oh yeah, happy birthday Kevin. notice the size of the trenches and think about this....Cole can actually jump across them, without falling in!! and more that just one time. Kory is thinking about filling them up with water and having a moat, I am not sure that is such a good plan, I think that whoever comes to put in concrete or something might get irritated. Maybe I need to work a little less and try to spend more time with Kevin, maybe this is just a cry for help..... Attention Jess: note the pool in the foreground. The pile of rubble is what remains of the old tack/goat shed, ah yes I bet Misty remembers many happy hours of being locked in there with Otis the goat on the other side of the door, giving a little tappity tap tap with his horns just to keep things interesting. I am a bit concerned because the trackhoe is still here...........

Royalty R Us

This is the front page article from the Payson Chronicle. Note the crooked crown.
This is Rylee's cheering section. She had the loudest fans of anyone that night. Not surprising, considering her bigmouth family.

This is Rylee and her second attendant, Jen Jen, also known as Caulder's girlfriend. He's had a crush on her forever. She and Rylee came home after the big night in their gowns and crowns, and Caulder said, "Those guys are princesses!"
The proud (and red) parents, who taught her everything she knows.
