New Member of THE FAMILY!!!!

Meet "TIGGER"!!!! And yes he does BOUNCE!!! Hopefully he and Sadie will one day be friends!!! They are getting better than at first when Tigger want to scratch and claw us all, but mostly Lane since he was the one holding the CAT in front of the DOGS face! Love at first sight was not so much the story with these two! It is more of a "You will grow on me relationship!"
Savannah loves her new kitty! Thank you Grandma Marie!!! We love adding animals to OUR ZOO!!!

Cedar CITY!!! GiRley Trip!!!!

Ok! I was so bad at taking pictures when we went on our ANNUAL VERY Traditional Cedar City trip, BUT the one I did take are GOOD!!!!
These are MY VERY cute Nieces as they prepare for the "Lip sink" Concert!!!!
This would be Kyrstin!!!! Need I say MORE!!! (Where the crap did she get these pants)
This one is my favorite of all the girls in there NEW "BIG STAR" jeans!!! Savannah is getting so big and grown up! They are all getting so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
So yes we did see "Shakespearean plays" and spent more time with lots of fun cousins but, like I said I was having to much fun to remember to take a picture! I will do better!

STOP!!!!! It is going TO FAST!!!!!

Summer it seems is going so FAST, so Lane and Savannah both WORK HARD.....and
PLAY HARD!!!!!! Savannah has been trying to earn extra money working with Lane. After the first day I came to realize very quickly that she was going to have one pair of work clothes she was going to wear every day because I was only going to throw ONE outfit away instead of FIVE!!
Fun things we have been doing this summer is BOATING we have for sure used the boat a lot more this summer than last and I'm sure it will continue!! We have had many good times! In this picture Lanes mom and cousins that came to visit from Minnesota!
ALL the FUN cousins SWIMMING!!! Even thought these cousins only see each other every other year and this is only the second visit, these girl cousins LOVE to be with each other!!!
MORE TUBING!!!
Savannah is such a fish! When all the other kids are DONE and COLD and TIRED I still can not get her out or the water. "One more jump MOM" are her famous words!!!
Savannah has really done well on getting to know her horse better. She was pretty timid at the beginning of the year but is really trying to do better. She has learned she has to be VERY FIRM with him!
More work.... HA!!!! She loves to mow the lawn when she gets the chance!!!! FUN SUMMER TIMES!!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE!!!!!

Going for my run thinking "I AM BLESSED!"

The other day as I was running and looked in every direction and thought no matter where I looked all I saw was "BEAUTIFUL!"
This is the view I see every morning looking out my bedroom window. When my family came up over the 4th of July my brother-in-law said several times that our view reminded him of a postcard!
This is one of my neighbors garden that I WISH was mine! He is a really interesting man. He is a very nice, he and his brother take care of there elderly father. They both look a little like ZZ Top band members, but boy do they have a green thumb!!!
This is my FAVORITE "Killer" hill that I run up as fast as I can and than feel like I am going to die on the way down!
Coming down feeling that want to puke feeling! Good thing it is so pretty!
This house is being built by a 2 people, A HUSBAND and a WIFE!!! Just the 2 of them!!! Oh MY!!! I really like them and hope they are sill married when they are finished cause I'm excited they will be in our ward!!! ( They will this is there 4th house, CRAZY but COOL)
Sadie in the sprinkler Hot and Tired!!! She is a good running partner.
This is my neighbors wood pile I am THANKFUL I don't have anything to do with this! Lots of people heat there homes here with wood burning, glad I don't!
Almost home!!! Last hill to run up as fast as I can!!!
Like I started post with I feel so blessed that I live in such a BEAUTIFUL valley BUT our summers are short so I am thankful for my GREAT home guy also. Lane did a re-model for me this spring and I am grateful for both!!!

WOW!!! WHAT a WEEKEND!!!!

OK..... So I was going to do this way cute "Family Reunion " post and YES, I do have lots of great pictures but they all posted in the wrong order, and after the weekend that "WE" all had and me trying to get ready for another 3 night of no sleep at GIRLS CAMP, I'm NOT going to try and re-down load all these pictures! So you get what you get! :)

The girls playing a fun cup game I HAVE to learn before camp!





Another game, called "ZIP-Bong"! Very fun!









Grandpa was a favorite! He
is the one putting all the kids on and off the horse!













The 4th was such a great weekend! There was A LOT of work getting ready for it, but it was so worth it!!! I think everybody had a good time! It rained at least 2 times every day, but it was those storms that come and go! My family commented a lot about how fast the weather changes in Wyoming! We stayed busy eating, jumping, riding horses, riding 4 wheeler, eating some more, laughing, playing night games, going to parade, going to firework show, visiting, eating some more, taking kids to hospital, water fight, playing basketball, going boating, going fishing and eating some more!!!!

Hmmmmm... DO I need to be Concerned??

Ok so YES, this is my DAUGHTER! As you can see in the pictures she has started her own trend. It is "I MUST WEAR BASKETBALL CLOTHES EVERY DAY!"

She went and spent 2 1/2 weeks with her Dad, I spent a lot of time packing enough outfits to make sure she would be set! Well, all but 5 outfits came back clean and packed the same as I had packed them 2 1/2 weeks before. The 5 dirty outfits were the Basketball shorts she had been washing over and over again. At least they were washed before wearing again. I HOPE!!!
Oh and by the way these pictures WERE taken 3 consecutive days in a row! NO breaks from wearing Basketball clothes! I am still shopping at the "GAP" just in the boys section!!!

A Little HELP here!!!

Our deck has been an on going project since last spring. I have run into a dilemma! I love love love my deck and it has turned out so beautiful!!! It adds so much to our home. We all love to go out and sit and enjoy the view!( while getting eaten alive by mosquito's, I'm working on fixing that with help from the weed and pest)
I have been waiting for the rain to stop to post this but I am convinced now that it may be next spring before it stops. So what to do with this????
THE RAMP????? Not the cat!! HA HA! In the beginning Lane and I discussed having stamped concrete and were set on that. But NOW the deck has turned out so beautiful I am kinda wanting to continue on with the red wood down the ramp???? What to do???
