True Redneck

Kip has allergies really bad and was trying to open a Benadryl wrapper (you know the impossible ones that will never rip) and pop! He had a permanent tooth from chipping his tooth at a scouting trip when he was 12 and it broke right off. 900 dollars later he has returned to normal and not so redneck anymore.

My 1st Garden

Kip thought it would be a good idea if we learned how to plant a garden this year so we started (well I started :-) to research what to plant, when to plant, and when to harvest. I was totally clueless before all this must needed research because I had never even attempted a garden before. I was out everyday pretty much staring at the ground and patienly waiting for something to happen. After many days of nothing it finally started to work! Everything I planted grew too!!These are some of our green bell peppers. We also grew peas, corn, green beans, carrots, tomatoes, onions and even watermelon! I never thought I had a green thumb because everything I plant usually dies. This gave me hope and I can't wait to do it again next year!

This is our garden when it finally started to grow!

Strawberry Days Rodeo

It's family tradition to do to the Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days Rodeo every year. We cheer on our friends in the cow milking contest (which they won), and eat strawberries and cream. It is something we look forward to and it was so much fun this time with Kyler.

Testing The Trail Cam

Testing out the new trail cam!

Match Maker

I had to put this picture on here. This is my niece Hali (Eric & Mindy's daughter) and my nephew Nicholas (Kris & Melissa's son). They don't see each other much but when they do they are the best of friends. I think they are so cute and I love to hear them talk about how much they love each other!

Kip's 25!!!

Kip turned 25 and I thought it would be fun to throw him a party. He thought it was just a family get together but all his friends showed up too! Hmm...fishy!!Kip & Kyler are best buddies!We set up a bouncy gym for the kids an Kyler couldn't get enough of it! He thought it was so fun to jump and play with the other kids.Kip got a trail camera and was so excited! Well he did over exaggerate a little for the camera!! Happy 25th!

Attempting a Hair Cut

Kip never would go in to get his hair cut (even though we have Autumn who is amazing) so I decided to attempt cutting his hair. It took me forever and I did it all with shears but I actually was so proud of it and think it looks great. It doesn't help that my husband is one sexy guy either!!!

Like Father, Like Son

Kip finally got out and rode Buddy at the Pleasant Grove Rodeo Grounds. He loves to ride horses and I think he looks pretty good on one too!
Kyler is just like his daddy. He got on this saddle, and with his grandpa watching him close by, rode until we forced him off. I love how he is holding the straps like reigns. He is such a cowboy!

Here Fishy Fishy

We have started to go fishing a lot more latley and we love it! We went during the White Bass spawn and caught a ton. Seriously it was like every cast we rilled in something. It started to rain but when it cleared up there was a awesome rainbow. So Kyler's eyes are kinda closed but I still thought it was adorable. It's a mom thing I guess!

Guess Who??

Kyler was at Great Grandpa Spencer's and his cousin Garret decided to put this disguise on him. To our surprise Kyler wouldn't take them off. He just thought it was the funniest thing ever!!
