I know what you are all thinking, its pretty pathetic that my last post was in June, I have failed miserably in the blogging world but I am committed to doing better! The holidays were wonderful, spending time with family, being grateful for all we have been blessed with, and trying to keep up with the kids. We did have family pictures taken in October, so here are a few of our favorites.



This is one of my favorite pictures, it was taken in an orchard near our house, this is one of our horses "Buck", and I think Bryce is a really "HOT" cowboy! We have been married for 12 years and I am still in love with him more than ever!


Annie just turned 10, she is busy riding horses, attending rodeos, and playing with friends. She is an excellent horseman and has been practicing hard for a rodeo in St George next month. She is extremely fast at goat tieing, I had no idea there was such a sport, but I am learning to be a cowgirls mom!


Ben almost got kicked off the bus this month, what else can I say about my little handful. He is quite a character, keeps teaching his Dad patience, but has a big heart and is so kind to his sisters. He is learning to breakaway on his horse Harley, another sport I was unaware of, and is doing very well.

Ellie turned 2 and is a pleasure to have in our home. She is learning to ribbon pull from her goat "Daisy" and loves to be around the horses. She loves sledding with Ben and being outside.
