more random pics....

date night.

Jade surprised me with a date night... SOOO MUCH FUN! He took me to "Color Me Mine". We both picked out cups to paint.  I love them and it was soo fun!

vegas 2011

In December we headed to St George for a week... lots of roping, shopping, swimming & playing. It was so much fun... Bob & Laura came and stayed the weekend at our condo, and then they took Brayker back to Lindon with them.

We were able to go to the rodeo on opening night. Knox was such a good boy, he sat in his carseat most of the time... the loud noises didn't seem to bother him and he didn't cry once while we were there. Brayker ended up falling asleep. :)

 Everyday in Vegas was spent either at the ropin, or at the Cowboy Christmas trade-shows... Knox was the best boy... Jade & I stayed at the Silverton and were able to see Santa swimming in the tank! It was so fun!



First family outing...

We took our first "Family of Four" outing to the Hogle Zoo and had such a fun time! Brayker loved it and couldn't believe all of the animals... Soo fun!

Grams' 95th birthday! It was fun getting together and showing Grams & Gramps the kiddos.

Randomness: *A week after Knox was born, Presley came! 9-11.  She is a doll and i'm excited our kids are so close. *Spent a few days in Washington catching up. *Had a fun girls weekend in Lindon... made sugar cookies; Jade sent me flowers; bought our Halloween costume (Buzz).

October 27: Had a girls getaway in Logan, did lots of shopping and stayed the night. It was a blast and hope we can do it again soon! 

Halloween came... Brayker and Tagg switched costumes and were quite happy! We got to go trick-or treating and got lots and lots of goodies. :) 

November 6, 2011: Presley & Knox Blessing day! I am truly ashamed and will never forgive myself.  I didn't get any pics of my little angle in his blessing outfit.

Jade did a wonderful job and Knox had an amazing blessing. After Sacrament we met in the cultural hall and had lunch. It was such a fun day and everybody was so great to come & help. 

My birthday week... we did lots of fun stuff! Made fondant for our Christmas candy.. Stephie gave me a babycakes CakePop maker! I love it! We went to Lindon for the weekend and had a yummy oreo ice-cream cake! We aslo ate at Tucano's.. YUM.. and Nana bought Brayker a Buzz Lightyear! Spoiled kid...  

Lots of projects and not as many as I would like to do.. :)

Summer 2011...

We had a wonderful summer... it was a hot one, but we did so many fun things!

Top: Whitney Udy's wedding reception.

BL: me with looong hair (clip in's), BR: Slack in Ogden spent at the playground.

TL: Jackson Hole Ropin. Everything else at home... look at my green grass. :( Can't wait for that again! 

Lots of time in the practice arena...(another reason I can't wait for it to warm up.:))

Shad swimming in our super big pool!! 

Sunbathing at Crow Creek... it is so beautiful up there... Jade and I camped out in the trailer, he hayed all day and I: watched movies, rode the 4wheeler as fast as my pregnant belly would let me go, played in the water, and just plum relaxed... thanks for watching Brayker mom & dad! 

Picnic at Bear Lake with Aunt Curly's crew... it was a fun day! Brayker slept good that night! :) 

Brayker & Tagg were little troopers at the Raspberry Days Craft Fair... We found a shady spot to eat lunch and the guys had to go potty... I just love these pics! :)

And Jade riding dad's motorcycle... Brayker is on there with him, but you have to look close.  

The County Fair: cutest cowboys EVER! Except for Jade, I didn't get a shot of him anywhere...

He was the rodeo chairman this year, oh boy... he was kept busy running back & forth from one end of the arena to the other.  Saturday night the power went out right before the barrel racing.. it was a little dramatic because some of the girls were a little angry and Grandpa Bob ended up getting punched by one of the barrell racers, so funny! The fair was so much fun though, except for the dance was canceled (due to the power outage) so maybe this year we can dance Jader! 

Nana bought Brayker Jessie and they were inseperable for a few days...
