4-Wheel Sledding

Here's the funny story about this 4-wheeler (I know Teresa will be able to understand this): Jeff has an uncle that is handicapped. His name is Randy. He lives next door to us. He can't drive a car, and we live way out in the fields so they bought him a 4 wheeler to get around. Well it's been several years and he's gotten quite comfortable driving it. A few months ago Scott, Jeffs dad, started getting phone calls about Randy driving way too fast and darting into traffic and almost hitting another car. So Scott disabled the 4 wheeler and told him it broke and that he got rid of it. Meanwhile, they bought him a little John Deere tractor thing that only goes like 15 miles per hour tops. Well, Scott didn't junk it and it still runs, but no one wants Randy to know its still around because it would cause a lot of problems. We decided to paint it a different color to cover up our lie, but it still looks the same. So Scott took Randy to Cedar City and the kids and I got to play on it for a few hours. It was very fun! Even TessaLee went for a ride!

Family pictures

We had family pictures taken in November. My cousin Tatum always does them for us. She is so fun and good with our kids, we always give her a challenge. These are a few of my favorites! We took some here at our house and then we drove to Jack Holts barn a few miles down the road. They turned out so cute! TessaLee was a monster. She hardly looked at the camera, but I guess that happens when you have a one year old. Tate wants to do some retakes for our family pic because she doesn't just love the ones we have now but Jeff said that's just who we are right now, a family with a little one year old monster (whom we all love and adore)! You know Jeff and his trucks. This is our Land Cruiser. It is our favorite summer vehicle! We love ridin' around with the top and doors off.

Kindergarten Graduation

Daisy graduated from Kindergarten on May 18th, 2008. She is so cute! Her teacher is Fawn Hewlett. Daisy is very bright and can read so well! (Can you believe that she was able to focus long enough to learn how to read?! :))

Cattle Drive

We went on a cattle drive in May. it was the perfect weather! Cool enough to wear a coat and a slight sprinkle to keep the dust down. My mom, Max and Baylee and I all had a blast, all but moms horse falling and her along with it. It was just at lunch time when everyone was around, I felt so bad for her! This is mom, before the accident! :) Tightening up cinches! Mom and Max and Sonora's head (my horse)! Love to all, Oh and I lost my camera so thats why I haven't posted for a while. I still can' find it but I borrowed my moms and I've started taking pics again. I really hate to loose my other pics from the other camera though... I will not give up the search! :)
