Random Pics...

Here are some random pics that are fun from the last year. I am such a blog slacker that I never post the pics that I want to so here are a few!

This is Amber and I and YES I had my nose pierced for a while. I loved it but I took it out when I started teaching school because I didn't think it was setting the best example for my kids. I totally did it on a whim and its such a funny story. Ask me sometime! I had always wanted to do it and never had the guts and then I decided I better just do it before i got old and never had anything for my kids to give me a hard time for!



This is a really cool pic that i took at the Dixie Classic Futurity. It was Slic's first competition ever and he was the youngest colt there! He even won his first check, I was a proud mom! I can't figure out how to turn it and I am out of time!

This summer I took CV's girls Bball team to a tournament at UVU and we went up in two cars but then the other car had to leave early so on the last day we all (11 of us) GOT to ride in the suburban together. If you were a parent would you want me in charge of your child?!

So I sadly don't have any good pics yet but I just want to give a shout out to my new little friend Halle Kate Melling. She was taken by c-section yesterday after a long and stressful day for her parents and everyone that couldn't wait to love her. She is a beautiful little girl with ton of dark hair that weighed 6 lbs and 11 oz and was 20 inches long though we joked that when her cone head goes down it might only be 17 inches. I just want to tell how much I love her already and I cannot wait to tend her, and love her, and be her best friend, and most favorite aunt! We love you Halle and are so glad that you finally made it here! Great job Trevor and Heidi! Heidi did all of the hard work but I can already see what an amazing dad Trevor is. Congratualtions to the two of you!

Baby Lyla

Is this not one of the cutest things you have ever seen...

Ok so I just have to brag for one minute. I made this beanie for Chelsea's baby Lyla but I had NO idea that it would be this cute. Its mostly because Lyla is such a good model but I was happy that she looked so cute in something that I gave her!

T-Birds Big Win!

We are true fans rain or shine!

Foam fingers! College football at its best!
If you are not an SUU fan you should be. Come on out to the games, we have so much fun.



This is for all of those crazy people who thought that Dixie even had a chance. Yeah right GO SUU!

These pics are from a while ago. This was the big round up day in Rush Valley. It was Slic's first big cow day and he did great! I don't think he has ever had to work that hard all in one day before.This is Ryan and his brother Chad. He insist on wearing that ugly hat when we ride. He thinks it is cool and I constantly give him a bad time about it and tell him I would never be seen in public with him while he is wearing it.



This is me on Slic and Ryan in his horse Slayder. To bad Cooper is not in the pic and it would be a family photo! I am embarrassed to be this close to him while he is wearing that hat. But there was work to do so I couln't avoid it!



Slic was go great he would get right in the herd and boss those cows around no problem. This was so much easier than sorting them on foot. I wish that I could haul him up there everytime we go to work the cows.

Last weekend my mom, dad, and I headed up North to go to the Utah State game. It was fun to spend some time with my parents. We spent so many hours on the road while rodeoing that we kind of got to where we like just chatting in the car. It was a fun trip. I spend all afternoon on friday painfully looking at cars and then stayed in Erda with my mother- in-law.
On sat. morning my mother-in-law and I got up and went to me 5 year old nephew's soccer game. Logan you are great! You might not understand why you get in trouble for pushing and stiff arming kids to keep them from letting you score but its ok, when you play real soccer you don't have to!

Football Season is finally here...

This Thursday I hope to see you all at the SUU vs: Dixie State game! Yay, football season is finally here! Some might be wondering why I am saying that like it is a good thing even though it means that my husband will be working long hours during the week, be gone every weekend, work every Sunday, and watch football every minute that he is actually home in between. Well its because now I can actually enjoy his job too! I love going to the Football games and I am hoping to make it to most of the games this season even the away games! I can't tell you how excited I am to put on my SUU red and black, save my seats in the staduim, eat a hotdog out of the back of the truck, and cheer my heart out! Good luck on Thurday babe, go T-Birds!

Adulthood??

Does this look like someone who is ready to be an adult?...

I have finally settled in to my new job and I have made a vow to keep my blog up to date! I am teaching school at a private school here in Cedar and i love it! Who would have ever thought that I would be a high school English teacher. High school seems like it was yesterday and here I am about to turn 25 I can't believe it. Though I still feel the same I know that I am in many ways I have come a long way from the girl I was back then. It is hard for me to admit that I am... well... an adult. But i guess that's what you are when you have a real job/career where you go to work everyday and get an actual paycheck. Its the weirdest thing I am finally getting paid to go to school after all of these years!

Stay Tuned....

I have struggled with keeping my blog updated. I have been so busy and we do not have the internet. I used to be at the college were I have access everyday but now I am all done we need to get the internet at home. Since I finished my student teaching I have been subbing at Canyon View quite a bit and tutoring some students at a private school here in Cedar. Ryan has been working and is getting ready for all of the football summer camps he is in charge of. We are in the beginning stages of FINALLY putting in our backyard so hopefully I will soon have some before and after pics. I hope all of you are doing well and you will soon be seeing more pics and happenings of our life!

Late but still fun...

These Pics are from Halloween but I want to show the difference between Ryan and I...

Lame Cowboy...

Awesome Mohawk that I did myself!!!

Busy, Busy

It has been a while since I have has time to post. We have been so busy traveling for Christmas and I have been coaching girls basketball at Canyon View. We went on a snowmobile trip to Yellowstone the day after Christmas with Ryan's family. We had so much fun and we saw some great wildlife and amazing scenery it was truly a winter wonderland. I got to see Old Faithful for the first time and enjoyed the time we had with the Hunt and Harris families!
Ryan has been recruiting and I started my student teaching at Canyon View I have two fitness for life classes, a sports medicine class, two jr. English classes, and a freshman honors. I am really enjoying my time and can't wait until I can actually get paid for hanging out back at High School again. Needless to say I have been staying plenty busy lately!
