Just Because...

Just Because I want to see this again in 10 years.
And that concludes me blatantly ripping photos from other peoples blogs.

Colorado River

Also, in May we went canoeing  and paddleboarding with the Nelson/Noble clan down the Colorado river. It wasnt much of a "trip", because we put in only minutes from Taylor's parents house.


 Before we started, someone mentioned that when you are in a canoe with your spouse it becomes a metaphor for how your marriage works.....yup, that's me pulling the kids, and Taylor in the raft!
 Zooming in.....




 I thought paddleboarding involves standing up~???




 Thats better.

Dragon Warriors

Tball ended in May; Im a bit behind. The Dragon Warriors had a great time, and so did the coaches. There is nothing like watching random chicken actions in the outfield.

Cheer Camp 2011

 Another great year at Cheer Camp! I had 25 girls signed up, making a great team atmosphere. It was super hot this year so I added water games into the mix; a total hit!!!

Thanks to my helpers, Katie, Mackenzie, and Mackenzie. I couldn't have done it without you.












Tanner is Home

Taylor's little brother Tanner returned home off his mission from Indiana last week. We met him at the airport, with all the hoopla you could imagine. The 21 year old handled it like a pro.












Cowgirls Dont Cry

We are really lucky to have family with horses. Abby wants a horse soooo bad. No, make that soooo, soooo bad. Unfortunately its not in the cards for her right now, but her saving grace is her cousin Preslee who cares for three horses herself.

(Side note: A little while back Abby and I were talking about future Halloween costumes and I mentioned that she should be a cowgirl next year.She replied with, "Mom, you cant be something you already are for Halloween.)

Last week, Preslee taught Abby how to put on a saddle, clean the horses hooves, and feed and water them. Not to mention the two girls rode around the arena together for hours. It was wonderful! Abby left their house singing...."Cowgirls Don't Cry....Ride Baby Ride."

Thank you to the Whettens for being so accommodating to my cowgirl wanna-be.
