Where have we been?
So I haven't posted in forever. We have just been really busy. I know, I know, everyone is busy, but we really have been crazy. First, and most important, I finished Breaking Dawn!! So much free time on my hands now. Who knew reading was so fun? OK that really didn't take that much time because I just read and read until I had finished. So I neglected everyone again, but it is finally over. Now I can get some sleep.
These are some pictures of Tay.
I told her to jump over this creek and I would be right behind her, after seeing her horse jump, I changed my mind and told her to jump back. My brother had to help convince her horse to jump back over.
You want me to jump a creek?
The last picture of Taylor and Chrome
Taylor has been really busy riding horses and getting ready for Rodeo princess and the fair. We put a lot of time into that so it keeps us really busy. I posted a picture of Taylors new horse Chrome in an earlier post. Well sad to say we finally get a really great horse and he died on Tuesday before the fair. You can only imagine But she decided to stick it out and use my brothers horse for fair. Considering less than a week to work with the horse, and an emotional 12 year old girl, she did pretty good.
She got her pigs weighed in this morning and we are ready to spend every waking moment at the fair. :)
(I will post pictures of these later)
Chris and I signed up to do the SPUDMAN, Oh that is right, a triathlon. What was i thinking? Well in Jan. I thought I had lots of time to train, but the true procrastinator that i am i didn't. Then I got busy with Taylor and princess stuff,(they were the same day) so my friend Garianne took my spot.
Chris did GREAT, I am very proud of him. We got there at 6 am His wave was at 7:10 so we decided to go check his bike at the bike station and we couldn't get back to the start line because of traffic. We were about 1 mile away and he decided he had to run to the starting line, well he got there and realized I had his wet suit, so at 10 min to seven, he runs back to where I am still stuck in traffic 300 yards away and starts to get dressed, I am driving kinof crazy and finally get to the starting area a few minutes after 7. Chris is running and trying to get his wet suit on as his wave takes off. Some guy zipped him up as he jumped in the water. Started crazy but he did great.
We also went to Island Park and Yellowstone with Garth and Jewelee and their family. We had a great time.
Then we had some friends from Canada come visit, Dallas and Lindsay and their little boy come visit. We had a good time with them. Thanks for the Ketchup chips.
And a couple random pics of Dax
Dax fell asleep on the way fishing.
We caught a big one!!
Dax was playing in a mud puddle and his cousins splashed him.
This is the funkiest bug ever.
Typical Dax

No More Neglect!!
I am finally finished the third book of the Twilight Series. As Carie would put it life changing. It's a good thing the fourth one is not out yet. Chris ended up having to take the young men to the temple today, and I was secretly super happy so I could set up the water slide, ignore my children and read all day. I am grateful for all those modern conveniences like pop and candy and cold cereal so my kids could fend for themselves. Well it's finally over until Aug. 2. I can't say anything because Carie hasn't finished yet, but if things in the fourth book don't go as I plan I may have to start a riot. Now I can go back to being a good mom and wife and get my house back together. Too bad we can't have Stephanie Meyer spice up the scripures so I could get through them in a couple of days. j/k

Twilight only 6 months until the Movie
I have finally gave in and started reading the Twilight series. This is the reason i do not read because I am so obsessed with this book that I stay up until 2 am every night reading. I am now on the second book which I will probably finish tonight. I can not wait for the movie to come out but was really disappointed to see the trailer because I had envisioned Edward to look like the first picture. Seriously hot. But because no one cares what I think, I will have to get used to the other Edward. Stephanie Meyer must know what she is doing. I will be the first in line for the move 12-12-08.
