Gone Hunting

Well this time of year is always super fun for us! We disappear for about two weeks! I love to hunt and spend time with my dad and my sisters hunting. Cameron had a Buck and Bull combo tag and got a 2 point bull and a 3 point buck. I went with him the night he got his deer and it was a lot of fun! I have to say that I have never seen such a sharp shooter. He dropped his deer in one shot a 400 yards. That is a way long shot! My hunt opened this weekend and we have hunted for 2 days straight. I have walked my butt off! We only saw 2 bucks and I shot at one at 478 yards away and missed. But it was fun! Hopefully I will get one and have some pictures to post! Until then we will disappear yet again. I am pretty sure my kids think I have fell off the planet!

Quinn

Quinn is getting so big! She has started to crawl! She doesn't sit up but she gets around crawling! She is 10 1/2 months and 17 lbs. She has the cutest little personality. She is very stubborn and if she doesn't have her way look out! I can't believe she will be one in November. Where does the time go?

How did this happen?!?!?

I have been sitting here wondering if this is all really happening, and if it is then how....how is my little girl old enough for Pre School? Lexi started last week and I am having the hardest time. Well...I am kinda used to it now, but the day she started I just cried and cried. I just can't believe that the little baby that I was so scared of when I first had her, is now this old! She is so smart and so sweet. But just look out when the attitude starts. She is very independent and likes to do everything herself. And already a little embarassed of mom. Her class is going on a Field Trip to the Zoo and I asked her if she wanted me to come and be a helper, and she said " No, I don't need you to come." Wow! Already embarrassed of me! The 2nd day of school she actually asked if I was going to cry again! I am a total boob! I have found myself crying so much these last couple weeks. She had her 1st primary program yesterday and I cried then too! I am so glad that I have such a wonderful little girl! She is such a good example to Quinn, Cameron, and I!

Hogle Zoo

On the day of the temple dedication we went to the zoo with my mom, Meagan, Madi, Brad, Rachel, and Robby. It was so fun! I absolutely love the zoo! We got to see the baby giraffe and snow leapord. But they didn't have the baby elephant out yet! It was a really fun day!




For some reason, we never get any picuters of just Cameron and I!



We thought this would be cute! You can't see the fear in Quinn's eyes in the pic though. Lexi had a hold of her so tight!



Brad brought his niece Brentanna and her and Lexi had a ball! They are such good friends!

"Slumber Party"

Rachel and I are having a "Slumber Party" on Thursday Sept. 3 at 6:30. At Rachel's house. If you want to come and don't know where she lives call me and I will give you the address.

~If you haven't ever been to a "Slumber Party" it is really not a sleepover. But come check it out! It's lots of fun!

Mom of a 13 year old!

This is my 13 year old sister Madi ( who would probably kill me if she knew I put this pic on here!). In the past week I have spent a lot of time with her. I took her to register for school and also took her school shopping. We have had a lot of fun hanging out together. But let me tell you one thing that is not that fun....two people (that voiced it) thought I was her MOTHER!!! Pretty sure I was 10 when she was born but whatever!

Fair Days 2009

I have to say that as soon as Fair Days ends that means summer is over. We had a lot of fun this summer. We went to Jackson Hole, built a derby car, crashed a derby car, played softball, and had fun at 7 peaks!

We wanted to have my derby car done by July 24 because it is Cameron's birthday. So we went out to start my car so I could practice driving it before the derby. But it wouldn't start and wouldn't start! We figured out that the carburetor was bad. So we got another one and it wouldn't work either! So by this point I was thinking that I wasn't gonna be able to drive. But we finally got another one that worked. We went over to a field in Midway to let me practice. Well Cameron thought that he needed to take it for a spin and ended up braking my back axle! Not many can say they broke and axle BEFORE the derby! I drove the next night in the actual derby. It was fun, but I don't think I ever need to do it again. Especially since I was sore for a week! But at least I can say I have done it! Needless to say my awesome brother-in-law won the derby! He is an awesome driver!

We spent the next week at the Heber Fair Days, watching my sisters show their lambs, playing at the carnival, and watching the parade. I am so sad to see summer go, but super excited for the next chapter of our lives to start....sending Lexi to pre school! I can't believe she is already old enough!


This is my beautiful derby car AFTER the derby. The rear fender got pretty damaged!


My cute girls and I at the Fireworks on the 24th of July. (Cameron was fixing the rear axle that he broke!)


Lexi thought she needed to try on my helmet and get ready for the derby!
