Brystols Blessing

This past weekend we had Brystols blessing!!  It was such a good blessing and Jake did a good job giving it to her.  We had so many family and friends come in for the weekend and share in this wonderful experience!!  Brystol is very blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people!!  Her blessing dress was mine and her great Grannie Ellis made it for me when i was blessed.  It was so fun to see her being blessed in it!!  She looked so beautiful and peaceful!  Jake blessed that she would be a happy influence to the people she come in contact with and that she will find a husband she can get married in the temple with!! She is already such a happy baby and we would not be the same family without her!!

Horses

The kids always love riding horses with Jake!!!  Right before Brystol was born they got to ride the horses around the pasture.  The kids loved it. They had their awesome cowboy hats and boots on!! Jake teaches them so many good things that will stick with them throughout their lives.  He teaches them hard work and compassion toward animals.  It is really great to see those three working together on something they both love so much!!

Cowgirl Kate

I did bo's hair....Kate laughed because he is a boy horse not a girl one.

Kate, she will make a good rodeo queen.

So Sweet Brystol

7 Years!!

On May 8th Jake and I have been married for 7 years.  He is such a wonderful husband and he works so hard for our family so that I don't have too!!  He is so sweet and kind and thinks of everybody but himself.  He is such a great father to our children! He is strong, intelligent, caring, HOT, loving, funny, hard working, and a great friend!

I could not imagine my life without him and everything he does for me and our kids! I have two kids with this wonderful man and one more on the way in 5 more weeks!! I hope that our kids grow up to be just like him.  It makes me smile every time I see our kids playing with him and wanting to be just like him.  He is a great Dad!!

I Love you Babe!!

Easter

We had so much fun at Easter!!  Before we left Utah we colored eggs at grandmas house!!  The kids loved it.  They missed having Dad there but he boiled some eggs so when we got back we could do it with him!!  After the eggs were dry the kids put eyes and monster stickers on the eggs and thought that was way funny!!
Then we drove back to Wyoming just in time for Easter.  The Easter bunny came and the kids had so much fun.  They both got bows and arrows for Easter and had so much fun finding eggs in the pasture. Then they shot their bows all day long with their Dad!! It was such nice weather that the kids had a water gun fight with Jake.  They thought that was so awesome! They ate so much candy I finally had to hide it so they couldnt just have it when they wanted.
I made a ham dinner for Easter and was very proud of myself for getting a holiday dinner together by myself.  I may just be able to do this after all!!  Ha ha.

Tagg feeding the baby Cow

We went to a neighbors house for conference on sat and the kids loved it!! They have a ton of animals and lots to do. The day was really windy and cold but it was still fun to be out there with the animals!!! They had a new baby cow and the kids got to feed him. Kate wouldn't touch it but Tagg loved to hold the bottle while he ate! Then we fed the geese some food! Then we saddled up the horses and went for a little ride!! The kids loved it! We had a lot of fun looking at all the animals.

First Tooth

Katelynn lost her first tooth!!! She wouldn't let anybody touch it or even come close to it so it was loose for almost 4 months!!! She finally got it to come out one night when we were reading scriptures! She was playing with it and then just spit it on the floor and we had to find it again!
Its amazing to me that such a small thing in a child's life can bring such joy!! She was so excited that the tooth fairy would come and i am pretty sure she went to bed at like 6:30 just so she could fall asleep and get money!! But I don't think that she actually fell asleep until like 9:30. It was almost like Christmas morning!!
She is getting so big and growing up so fast. Kate loves kindergarten and is such an amazing reader! She loves to read and write anything she can get her hands on. Last month she got the academic and caring award for her class at school! Her teacher tells me all the time how sweet and helpful she is to her and the other students!
