Our baby is Three

The Bubba man turned three in September. I'm still in denial.STILL. I couldn't be any luckier than to be this kids mom. Seriously, he tells me 64 times a day, "mom, I lub you." And, "mom, I want to hold you!" 

We started the day with birthday dounuts, then had a small birthday dinner with G&G Yardley and G&G Frei. Bubba got a new hat, a green rope, some horns, a dozer, a digger for outside and some new books and a little spending money! He was happy as could be and loved his ice cream cake!

Tractor Store

Every time we go down to Overton Bubba asks to go to the "tractor store". Home Hardware has an isle with tractors and he knows exactly where they are. He spent his birthday money on some new tractors! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Frei!

Fallon the fearless goalie

Soccer season started at the begining of September. Fallon decided she might like to play as well as Taytum this year! To say practices and games have been crazy would be an understatement! Fallon played goalie her first game and loved it, although she was upset that they didn't get more than one practice before the game! She kept telling me,"mom, I just don't know how to play the game yet!" She figured it out pretty quickly!

Hardy Farm

We are so lucky to have such great friends! Each year the Hardy's plant pumpkins and they are always so kind enough to let us come pick! We went for family home evening (so easy). The kids each picked the best one they could find and had dad cut the stems! Bubba thinks his is the best beacuse it's so big! THANKS Hardy's!!!

Tough Enough

Last weekend was a Tough Enough to wear Pink Race here in Logandale. Both Fallon and Taytum entered the youth. Both had clean runs and enjoyed hanging out with their friends!

Staheli Farms

Last Friday the girls ditched school and we drove to Beaver to pick up our beef from the butcher. I knew it would be a long day in the car with the kids so we planned on stopping in St George for our annual Staheli Farm night. We started going with Aunt Kim and her kids and we've kept it up even though she's off doing the Lords work now! We got there right as they opened so no lines and not a packed house which was nice! Slides, trampolines, swings, cow train, sand piles, tractor rides we did it all! The kids had so much fun. My favorite part was hearing them talk about sweet Kim and the memories they have of her! So special!

Neglected

This poor blog has been so neglected. So much has happened and I just haven't had time  to sit and share it! We moved, birthdays, baptisms, vacations, new school year, too much to list. I will try to get this thing updated but no guarantees! We have a two year old in the house now and he is an absolute monster! Just within the past hour he has scaled the pantry shelves and got himself stuck, dumped a bowl of popcorn on the floor, turned on the kitchen faucet and flooded the floor,and bit his sister! If he lives through the day it will be a miracle!

4th of July

 

We started the morning with

 the parade in downtown Cedar City. The kids had fun hanging out with their cousins and caught lots of candy and otter pops!

 

After the parade we stopped by Wallly World for some bait and nightcrawlers, grabbed some lunch and then headed up the Mt. to Woods Ranch. The kids where a little hesitant about fishing at first but quickly got the hang of it! Taytum loved baiting everybodys hooks with worms!Fallon was very concerned for the worms saftey and didnt want them to escape. At one point she yelled at her sister to, "put the damned lid on them!" Both girls caught a few fish and Bubba even touched one. We stayed for a few hours and had so much fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

That evening we went to Parowan to the Beckwiths for a BBQ. The kids had fun playing outside and we all enjoyed the cooler weather!

Baby Moos

A few of the cows that Ryan and Bubba practice on we're due to calve anytime so they pulled them out and have been waiting for babies. One finally calved the other day so we had to go check her out! Cute little red heifer!

Preschool Water Day

For Fallon's last day of preschool the kids all got to play in the water. When I asked Fallon  if she had fun her response was,"no, they just had baby pools and I couldn't even swim in them!"  Haha such a big girl she has grown to be!

Taytum's Tire Swing

Taytum's class was given an assignment to make something out of a recyclable product that they can sell. She searched Pinterest and the Internet and choose to make a tire swing. Ryan picked up a tire from the shop, Tay cleaned and painted it pink. Her dad helped her put some bolts on it and hung it with some rope! She has been very protective of it as not to ruin the paint job! She made a advertisement board and set a price of $25 dollars. Last Thursday she took it to school to be judged! We are waiting for the final results. Who knows maybe she has a future in the tire swing business!

Kissing Cousins

We went to the ball game to watch Slade and Kashten play and Stihl found his woman Jaxon! These two are so funny together! They always share all their treats and they share kisses!  Each day at school as we wait for the kids to get out they both sit in their carseats and jabber out the window to each other! They are quite the pair!

Helldorado Rodeo

Ryan roped in the Helldorado again this year with Bubba Williams. We all headed into town as soon as Taytum got out of school. Most of the family was there to watch as grandpa and Uncle Justin roped too! It was a fun night downtown!
