wow its been 2 years!!

So I guess I might try this again and see if I can actually be good at it. Alot is going to be happening and has happened. We are now a family of 7! :) We have also moved to Cedar City to have the property we have wanted for a long time. I miss Hurricane and my friends there but have been ok with the change and aactually really love our house. I'm not sper long winded so I like to give the to the point update instead of gong into all the details esp since its been 2 years and it would take me almost 2 years to update on all of our lifes events :) However the last two things o will mention for now and what I will probably be posting about in the near future is the fact that I am officially a college student again!! yes yes I am going to actually finish my degree after 10 years. I am going into nursing and should be able to apply to the SUU program in a year after i have finished my pre-reqs. Suu actually transfered 42 of my credits which I was happy about. With five kids and me in school full time and a busy working husband I'm sure I will be crazy but I know it's the right time and I know I will do it and finish what I started. The last thing is the kids. We are officially starting them in Jr Rodeo. This is something we have talked about alot and have been waiting for the right time to do. Amazing that it all has to happen at the same time. The last year we have been taking them to dummy roping and most often the place if not win first. L currently has four tropy buckles, J has one and K has one. They have won many other prizes the top being a heel o matic heading steer worth about $360. That was pretty exciting for them. I'm actually amazed at how good they are and how well they ride. I'm super excited for the events and fun we will have. All in all we havew had some ups and def some downs but feel extremely blessed with were we are in life and our family as a whole.So heres to the next 2 years!! hopefully I will post again before then!!

hello?

So what is it that causes children to NOT think..... So Jacob has a friend over and they are playing in the front yard really good ( First mistake, if they are playing really good or too quiet then they are up to something) Anyway I go to check on them and I notice that big chunks of grass have been dug up fpr a car track...... Yes thats right a car track. I say what in the world are you thinking????? Do you think we water and mow the grass for you to dig up for car tracks?? Seriously I just don't get it sometimes or maybe i do.... Kids don't think about that they just think, dude a car track would be way cool right here.....get the shovel theres a bunch of grass in the way!! I did make him peice it back together and it looks REALLY GOOD. ( NO it REALLY doesn't)

Weekend Fun

So this weekend has been pretty fun. We got up Saturday and went down to the arena and rode the horses. We have two, one is named Pistol and is Craigs rope horse. The other is named Bear and is a stallion we picked up for free a few weeks ago. Yes, I said free.... There was an ad in the paper for a AQHA ( which means papered) 5 year old stallion free to a good home. Craig thought is was a mistake or a really ugly crappy horse but we went and checked it out and it is a really nice horse with GREAT bloodlines. The guy just wanted it to be used because they didn't do anything with it. So Bear is now a member of our family. He needs to be trained but Jacob ( my 7 year old ) has rode him, he actually got bucked off him on saturday. He landed on his feet so no harm done. Bear had been pinned up and needed to get some energy out.
We are excited for this next week Cash turns one!!! and Mckinley turns Three!! We are having a party together at the park with a big blowup bounce house waterslide i rented. It should be fun! I can't believe it's been a year since this last little guy. Hopefully I will get the pics worked out so you all can see these kids of mine that keep me screaming and sometimes crying.
