Jacob Hamblin Days 2009

The kids participated in the Jacob Hamblin Day's rodeo on Saturday June 20th...Jax and Wyatt won 1st and 2nd in barrels and poles for their age group. Then the Grover team, Kaytlyn, Jax, and Wyatt, won 3rd in the team barrel race. Kenna also participated and did really good! We also watched Aunt Ali do barrels on Pedro and she was fantastic!!
Later that night, we went to the Ranch rodeo to watch the kids ride wild sheep and cheer for Bayden who was on a ranch team called the "Not-so Cowboys." The sheep ride was hilarious, Kenna rode and when she fell off she came up laughing! Wyatt changed his mind while getting ready to go, but it was too late. Instead, he gracefully dove off the side of the sheep face first into the dirt. Jax stayed on and did really well. No injuries so mom was very happy!! After the sheep riding, we watched as Bayden's team tried their hardest (while we laughed our hardest) to wrangle, wrestle, and even ride those wild cows. They did pretty good, 2nd to last place I believe, and it was loads of fun watching them. Next year I may even have to get out my spurs and boots and give the rodeo a try!!

Petting Zoo...??

Bayden is gone again today...yesterday he and Kaytlyn drove to Salt Lake to pick up his new police truck. Today he is off to Flagstaff to go to a NACOG meeting for the Headstart, the crime lab, and then tommorrow he has Grand Jury...In the meantime, I am taking care of the house and all it's inhabitants. We are babysitting Devin's dog, a pitbull named Callie. She wants to play and my other dogs are unwilling...good thing Wyatt likes her. It feels like a zoo at my house...when the creatures outnumber the people you know there is a problem!!

Learning how to blog

A friend of mine told me I needed a blogspot...so here it is!! It should be rather interesting to see if I am any better at blogging than I am at journaling. I just got home from a four day scrapbooking retreat with awesome friends and amazing projects! It was really fun, but I am super tired and need a weekend to recover. The kids were happy to see me and then they were happy to go to bed. They spent the weekend playing with their Nana and Aunts in St. George..they went to Jumpin Jacks, the park, the movie UP in 3-D, and swimming...I don't think they really missed me at all. Bayden missed me, he had a very busy police weekend and is still recovering from being an only parent for 4 days...but he is a sweetheart for letting me go! I spent the morning cleaning my dirty house, and helping my kids brush up on math, reading, and writing...I don't want them forgetting all they learned in school, and now I am creating a blog...very busy day!!
