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.

Date Night

Last night I got to go on a date with my husband. I love when he calls and asks me on a date. I know for a fact the last thing he probably wanted to do was drive to Twin after working all day, but he is so sweet to remember me and my "needs". We went with Craig and Natalie (it was actually their idea to go out) and went to Outback and Cold Stone. We had such a good time, we laughed ALL night. I think I really needed that. Anyway, I highly recommend a good date night to everyone that reads this.

Jace (aka Jack Jack)

So we have all seen the movie The Incredibles....well there is a bonus little cartoon called, Jack Jack Attack and our cousins have decided that is totally what Jace acts like so that is his new nickname. Jace was over at Deanna and Alex's house and Alex told Jace that it was not ok to pick on the dog with 100 stitches that just got hit by a truck (how mean I know) and he went running into the house and told Deanna "that Dad outside is MEAN!" Jace can make a super cool "mean face" and he even growls now when he does it. He really makes me proud. If you tell him that if he can't listen you are going to spank his bum his reply is "oh no you can" instead of "oh no you can't." I think by the time we are done with him we will be on a first name basis with the ER.
