Daddy Daughter Date

Ryan took the girls to Vegas to go to the Turkey Federation Dinner. They were both so excited to go that they dressed themselves and were ready and waiting on daddy! I talked to them on the phone a while ago and they each had won a flashlight and some other junkie toys, but they were having a great time! I am so glad that they get to spend some time with their daddy! They miss him so much while is gone at work each day!!!
Sooo tonight I am home by myself and I don't know what to do! I had big plans to go have fun at the barrel race, but my horse didn't have the same plans! He was a jerk, and we came home early! Maybe I will go take a hot bath and read my lesson for Young Women's this Sunday!!! Or maybe I will just go to bed!!!

Friday's Off

Ryan has had the past few Friday's off of work so we have tried to make the most of it as family time!( that includes roping!) Last week Ryan gave me my birthday present a day early so we took the girls out to Box Wash and went shooting! Of course he got me a new gun! This one is actually kind of cute and as soon as I get my concealed back in the mail I will be packing this little lady! The girls both took their 22's and Tater had a blast shooting the target! Fallon ran for the truck as soon as she heard the shots! She has very sensitive ears and was not interested in any of that business! It was a fun day in the desert, and daddy even took us to McDonald's afterward! What a treat!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Fallon

Fallon turned 3 over the weekend. She had her party at the Moapa park with a few friends and family! Her best friend Josie was there and that's all she really cared about! She had lot's of fun playing on the slide, in the sand, and on the swings! She had her favorite Hotty Dogs, Strawberry cake, and Chocolate milk! Hit the pinata and opened presents! We love our little Fallon so much and are so lucky to have her in our family!

Circus / Uncle of the Year

Friday night Uncle Brad took all his nieces to the circus at the Orleans. He got them front row seats and took them out to see the elephants and tigers! They are so spoiled and sure do love that guy! The girls all had a great time and the show was so long that they didn't even notice we left at intermission! Score!!!They all especially loved the elephants and cotton candy!It was probably the funnest date ever for them and Uncle Brad!!!
When Trisha and Brad and I were young our Grandpa Wayne used to take us to the Shrine Circus EVERY year. It brought back a lot of memories and was so neat to see our girls enjoy the same things we did at that age.

New Years

Since the guys were all gone pig hunting in Az. Trisha and the girls came out to party with us! Grammy S And Carly and Reagen came over too and we ate a bunch of junk, and tried to stay up late! We were all asleep by 11:30. So much for partying all night!!
The next day we went back to Vegas with the double doubles and went shopping and hung out, ate more junk food, and played! Taytum met up with Lexus and spent the night with her at Grandma Karm's, went to church and played until daddy got back home.

Christmas Day

We woke the girls up at about 7:30 to see what Santa had brought.Once again he left too much stuff and they were both spoiled rotten! Tater got her Leap Frog Tag Reader that she has been wanting as well as some books to go with it! She also got a bead set and some other small stuff. Fallon got a new bedspread and a pink truck and horse trailer with barrel racers. All she really wanted was some pink toys and I'm pretty sure she would have been happy with anything! We made orange rolls and played with their new toys for a few hours. Later that morning we got ready and went to Justin and Trisha's to meet up with the fam. Had a great dinner, opened way to many gifts and hung out and played! The girls had a blast playing with Josie and Addi, we are so lucky that they are so close!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with the Frei's! It's pretty much tradition now, and soooo much fun!!! Lot's of yummy food, pinata, cousins, and presents!!!! The girls both got new boots and Wranglers from Grandma and Grandpa Frei. That night they opened their new jammies and baked cookies for Santa! Taytum went right to sleep at bedtime and Fallon just couldn't. We moved her back into her bed about four times and then she finally crashed on Tater's floor.
