Breck

We went to watch a friend of ours rope in the Jerome rodeo. While all the other kids were running around and visiting the petting zoo, we couldn't find Breck. We then found him setting on the arena fence watching the rodeo. And this is after he had been at a rodeo for the past 12 hours.

Jace Jace

We went out to eat after one of the boy's junior rodeos and we went to eat at Chilies. I think it was quite the experience for Jace. While Sid was betting Breck $1 he wouldn't eat a jalapeno, Jace popped one in his mouth. Which is SO his personality! You guys talk about it and I'm gonna do it. Then when the waitress asked him what he wanted for dinner, he told her "a cheeseburger with a worm on it." Unfortunately for Jace they were out of worms in the kitchen. And then he decided he wanted eat the lime out of his dad's drink. We told him it was sour, but he bit into it about 12 times, before he decided it was truly sour. Two days later he rode his trike down the stairs in our house after being told it wasn't a good idea. I sure hope he grows out of this phase before he's 16!

Saddle

Is is ok to have a blog where I can brag about my husband? I am going to anyhow! Sid finally won his first saddle! He won it at a Wrangler roping in Ogden Utah, they beat out over 400 other teams. It was a really fun weekend, I am excited to start traveling again this year. It is so fun to see everyone when we go.

Spring Break

Our spring break was totally lame this year. We went to Boise and had Breck's portacath removed (that is where he got his medicine). It is hard to believe that we had it put in 6 years ago. He handled it really well and everything went great. He was a little reluctant to leave the hospital, he really liked the play room and loved the remote that controlled the bed, TV, lights and the radio. I took out the I.V. on Saturday and he can take his bandages off this Saturday. It is weird to have that part of our life over, we have a whole closet in our house just dedicated to port supplies. Now what to do with the closet.........

Long time.....

So I have decided to take up blogging again (please don't expect anything fancy). This second my two biggest reasons are: It is way too cold and windy outside to do anything productive. And the second reason is that I don't want to do my taxes.....so why not blog right?

Mud Puddle

One of our risers that feeds our pivot broke and flooded part of our new arena and of coarse they boys found it. Sid and I were busy putting panels up for the arena and thought it was great that the boys were occupied......that was until I saw them up close. They were soooo muddy! But they had fun! While the boys were so occupied with the mud puddle Sid was tightening some wire on one of the panels and pulled back too hard and hit himself in the mouth with the pliers and chipped his tooth. I thought it was pretty funny, but Sid did not. After the boys got done playing in the mud puddle we sent them in house to take a shower (you should see my shower....but that is a whole nother story) and next thing we know here comes our naked Jace with marshmallows on wooden skewers. What to do with that boy?

Fun On The Fourth

Our 4th was layed back, quiet and relaxing......just what we needed. On the 4th Sid came home early and we had a fun dinner with Dallas and Margaret at their house. Then we all came home and took a nap. We woke up and did chores and then did some fireworks at our house and then went up on our dirt bike track and watched the Richfield fireworks (they were lame this year) and came in the house and went to bed. Saturday Sid and I left the kids and went shopping in Twin and went out to lunch, came home took yet another nap, woke up rode the horses, watched the UFC fight and went to bed. It was a good day.
