Pizza Night

Just a few fun shots of a summer night when we made pizza and Mexican Dip. I have no idea when this was, sometime the end of June.
And of course Paisley had to have her pic taken too ♥

Catching up!

I was called as Asst. Camp Director in January. I was asked to costume the Ucon Stake production of LAMONI which started in Feb, Joseph auditions started in March, with rehearsals weekly, then daily, which pretty much consumed my life until performance the last week of June. Jr. Rodeo started the first week in June. Girls Camp fell the week before Joseph performance, and I feel like my entire summer has already blown by. We've tried to make time for random road trips to the Elk Refuge, trail rides at Sandy Downs, Jackson Hole for lunch on day, Warm River to fish, etc. Since I am an awful blogger, I am just posting some pictures of our whirlwind life!

End of 3rd Grade

Just a quick post about the 3rd grade. The last day of school fell on her birthday, so we picked up some cupcakes to give to the kids as they were leaving, but class got dismissed early and we were left with a ton of sweet stuff. We took it to the horse show the next day, and they were a hit. I also made a Candy-Gram for Mrs. Shenton, which went over quite well. She is an awesome teacher and Macady were lucky to have her at Taylor's Crossing this year.
Anyway, here's a few shots of those fleeting days.

Happy Anniversary

Scott and I met on the Rexburg cruise on Feb 23, 1996. As he got in his truck to leave, he told his buddies that one day, he was going to marry me. As he walked away, I turned to my friend Julie and said, "That's the man I'm going to marry." We took our time, had a beautiful daughter along the way and finally chose to get married on May 15, 2004.

We have never celebrated an anniversary, so on our 5th "married" anni, we decided to actually celebrate. He surprised me with a dozen peach roses, and I surprised him with a night at the Rustic Inn in Jackson, dinner at a local dive and a Mountain Man retreat the next day. Nothing major, but it was fun to just get away and hang out. When we got home, we realized that we hadn't turned the radio on the entire drive there or back, we were so busy talking and catching up.

I am so glad I married the man of my dreams. I am so glad that we moved here so that we could find each other, and I am so glad we have a beautiful life together. Scottie, I can't wait to grow old with you.

Couponing

My dear friend Bethany stayed up late last Monday night to teach me the art of "couponing." I was lost at first, but after her patient lesson, I went out the next day and to my surprise, I saved big bucks on things our family will actually use. So here is a little post & pics of my Albertson's adventure. I got all this for $22.24!

So here it is ya'll....a new personal record, and about time too! I'm having a blast learning on this awesome horse. He's helping me ride not-so-English, and I'm learning to loosen up and just have fun with it! Way, way, way too much fun!!!

Poles

The first night I tried this, I about gave up. After a bit of practice, albeit speed, I time only-ed him and needless to say,
SHINER ROCKS!
