Well I can't come up with much that we have been doing... other than going to ropin's. Grandma Weston had club yesterday and mom and I were "privelaged" enough to get to help her. She has a group of friends that get together once a month and play Rook. The host gets to feed everyone and it was granny's turn. The best way to explain how big of a deal it is would be to say this... She is already worried about what to serve next time. :)

Brayker thought it would be comfortable to cuddle up under grandma's rug with her couch pillow... he is crazy!

 Looking for deer on the mtn.

 Riding Waffles..

 Happy Birthday MOM! We met my fam at Bear Town in Evanston and celebrated that crazy lady we all love! We (us, Steph&Bri, Dad) gave her a NookColor! She is excited and I think I am going to be stealing it from her more than she thinks. :) Love you Mom! 

 Happy Valentine's Day! My amazingly awesome husband came through big time on Vday! I love all of my gifts! Thanks Jader!

 We were able to spend the chilly weekend in Mesquite! Jade won a ropin down there and then we got rained out... Poor dad didn't even get to rope but we had fun!

Brayker had a fun weekend and was a trooper for sure!

Well, we are now on day night 4 of our "sleeping in our own bed" journey. Brayker has fallen alseep in his own bed the last 3 nights. Not happily but he has done it and I'm proud. The first night I lost count of him getting out of his bed after 13 times... rough guesstimate: 19.  Half the time he would just walk in and check on us and then go get back in his bed. Sometimes he would bring his pillow and blanket and try to sneak in bed wth us... But we made it. Hope it gets better.

I hope that everyone is doing great! xoxo

We went to Kuna ID last weekend to a team ropin. Brayker stayed home with g&g Stuart and he had fun. We had a relaxing weekend, watched a lot of team roping, made it to the mall for a teensy weensy hour and visited with Tad, Johneen and the kids!

Brayker helped his dad save a baby calf the other night. It was a very cold night so the calf got to sleep in 'grandpa's garage'. Brayker had to keep checking on it along with the 7 puppies that are sleeping in my dad's sauna right now. :)

My darling 2nd mother sent us some fun Valentine's treats in the mail! It was a fun surprise and she even made all of us pillowcases! She is the best and I love her so much! Thanks Laura!

Brayker is 2!

Well my baby is officially a little boy... where did the last 2 years go?  We had such a fun birthday party! Everyone came and we had presents galore. Still trying to find places to put them in my house!

This is just a random blog.... who would expect any less? But this morning when I got to work, my darling husband had sent me flowers.... thank you Jade, I love you so much!

BottomLeft: Brayker's new train tent that Santa brought him! BottomRight: we finally converted Braykers crib to a toddler bed.. likes it more than before!

We went to Vegas in December! We had so much fun! G&G Willis kept Brayker so we were able to do adult things and go to Casino's every night. We had a blast!

meet waffles...

Gran & Brayker!

 Brayker got a pre Christmas gift this year from G&G Willis/us... a super cute pony named Waffles.

Brayker loves him soo soo much.

We have been super busy...not sure what doin, but I guess that is how it goes.

Happy Late Thanksgiving! We went to Woodruff and later in the day went to Lindon and had a fun weekend. Laura, Whit and I went midnight MADNESS shopping! :) Just to Wal-Mart but we had fun!

My cousin Zane passed away a few days before Thanksgiving and Grandpa Chuck passed away last week.  Jade had to speak at his funeral today and did a wonderful job. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful tribute. Tomorrow morning we are leaving for Las Vegas til Sunday! Brayker is staying with G&G Willis and I am already homesick for him, but I know it will be good for him. Jade and my dad are roping Thursday so GOOD LUCK!

Also**Today is my SIL Whitnie's birthday! Love you sooo much Whit!

busy week!

On Tuesday... Brayker and I went to Steph & Bri's house! We started to make the fondant for our Christmas chocolates! We had so much fun! We made 4 batches! I'm not sure if Mom is proud of us, but she should be.. we worked very hard! :) Brayker and Libby had so much fun together! They definitely got their wiggles out for the week (I don't think Brayker has caught up yet) so thanks LIBBY! And thanks for letting us come! We had a blast and can't wait to eat our yummy candies! xoxo

November?

Yay! It is my birthday month/week! I love being born on Veteren's Day because the courthouse is closed that day so there is never a chance I will have to work on my birthday! :)

We have been super duper busy with shipping cows (in/out) and with the flu we had and mainly just being with Brayker can make anyone feel busy!

 We were diggin a little deep for Halloween... went shopping the day before and couldn't find anything I loved so we whipped up a mini Fred Flinstone... I couldn't get him to smile for the camera EVER! We had fun though! Look at cute little Yoda in the background!

 On a Sunday afternoon we needed a treat and so we gave it a family effort and made Twinkie cupcakes! They were delicious!

 Brayker is a trucker baby... we went with Jade in the semi a few times to haul cows/hay and Brayker just crawled up in the sleeper and watched movies!

What is new with us?? Hmm... we are thinking of doing a little needed remodeling on the ol' bathroom and will hopefully start tonight! Also, the outside of the house is in the thought process.. we have siding started on the front and if it doesn't snow tonight, maybe we can get started painting? (cross your fingers).

Hope everyone is doing lovely! 

fun week!

We got to spend a lot of time with g&g willis! Laura had a few weeks off so they came to our house last weekend and then B & I went back with her to Lindon! We had fun! We did lots of shopping and had so much fun with crazy Aunt Whit & Shay! Even got to fight with Aunt Leslie!

Somebody got his hair cut and seriously looks so much older... :) Thanks for putting up with us and WE LOVE YOU grandma!!
