Fireworks

They have a big bbq for the community at one of the parks but we ended up taking the kids home so they could take a nap. At the park they have all sorts of water games with the hoses off the fire trucks--once the kids are a little older they'll love it! We went to the fireworks though and they were AMAZING! It was a really fun night....

Teagan was running away--Grandma had to run after her

4th Of July Weekend

We went up to Wyoming to see my family over the fourth. It was lots of fun. The 4th is a pretty big holiday up there....first we went to the pancake feed at 645 in the morning. The fire department puts it on every year and cook really good food!

My mom wanted a picture with all her grandkids---so there they are!
After the pancake feed we went and waited for the parade to start. They have a HUGE parade every year--it lasted for a little over an hour.

She's a stinkin' doll--I love her tons

A mining company gave little hard hats out instead of candy--It was Dav's favorite thing he got

He wanted his shoes off--after that he was a happy camper!

Davin, Brady and Bell

Brady has been breaking our 2 year old philly this year and Davin absolutely loves her. She's SUCH a good horse. Here are a few pictures...

Just Our Luck...

I know it probably sounds like we have a bazillion dogs but we really only have one---now. Brady wanted a dog that he could take with us when we're at the farm or riding horses and stuff so we decided to get a Border Collie. She was between 9-11 weeks ((we're guessing)) when we got her about a week ago. Her and Sadie got along GREAT and she was Davin's new best friend. The second day we had her Davin seriously was outside for FOUR hours playing with her. Well----this past friday we took her to the vet to get her vaccinations and something happened while the vet gave her the shots and-----the shots killed her. I know---we were way mad. Brady was burying her and Dav just kept saying "Puppy" and then Brady picked him up and said "Puppy is all gone" and Dav started crying and said "No Daddy"----Sad right?? Anyways...here are some pictures that I meant to post of her and Dav last week.

She looks just like a skunk

Mans best friend

She didn't move unless he moved first.

Its just our luck with dogs I guess. Sadie is the only one who hasn't ran away or died and I'm hoping she makes it for a really really long time. We first got Sadie when we got married. She was actually Brady's parents dog but Dave suggested we take her since I wasn't working--We thought I'd need a friend. She's a great dog. We got Dusti last year when she was 6 weeks old so Sadie would have a friend. She ran away about a month ago. While we had both Sadie and Dusti we got Susie from a litter of puppies Dave and Jens dogs had. She was my best friend--she was the littlest dog I'd ever seen and I seriously LOVED the heck out of her. She got a little playful one day and decided to jump in the water trough and couldn't get out. We're actually not sure how she got in there because she was so tiny. I BAWLED my eyes out. I called Bradys mom to tell her and I was crying so hard she couldn't understand me--She thought something happened to Davin so then she started crying! Then we got Bentlei and we completely couldn't stand her. She was a gorgeous dog though. Since we were down to one we decided to get ROXY---and then her shots killed her---think we should give up???

Best Idea Ever...

I've said in previous posts that Bradys parents have a fire pit in their backyard. Graduation night we decided to make some smores. I got a few pictures but they turned out blurry for some reason--heres the best I can do...

Grandma and Dav--He likes to share!

Rieley's Graduation

Rieley graduated this year and she leaves in August to go down to Dixie State in St. George. It's crazy that she graduated--she was only a sophmore when I first met her and that doesn't seem very long ago. I'm excited for her to go to college but VERY sad!! She makes me laugh a ton and totally understands my Harry Potter obsession--whenever I have questions about Harry Potter--she's ALWAYS THERE!! We love you Rie and we're more proud of you then you know!!

Family Pictures

We got family pictures taken with the guy that comes for the cheerleaders. He did a great job and they looked so good. They're kind of blurry because I just took a picture of the picture but here they are....

And of course Davin didn't smile in either of them--he never does during family pictures. He still looks very handsome though :)

Boston and Davin

When these two get together it's so much fun to watch them. They get along so good unless one of them has the toy the other one wants--that happened this past week and we learned that Davin knows how to pull hair and bite ((he's really not mean)), and they both know how to push. But at the end of the day--they absolutely love each other! I put the pictures in different colors because Boston lives in St. George and has a GREAT sun-tan--Dav is just white as white like his momma!!


They're only five days apart and I'm really excited that they get to grow up together and be good friends all the way through.

Davin's Favorite Game

Brady's mom taught Boston and Davin how to play ring around the rosie and they will seriously play it over and over again. Bradys parents have a little fire pit in the back yard that we roast marshmellows and make smores and stuff like that on. Tuesday Dave decided he wanted to build a fire so we all went outside and sat around it. Davin decided he wanted to play ring around the rosie with Aunt Karlee and Aunt Rieley.

How cute is that?

Update.......

Well Brady and I went to the doctor on Monday and everything went good. My official due date is December 31st--I know--New Years Eve--I'm not getting my hopes up because I don't think I'll go that long!! Who knows though--I could even have the baby on Christmas--or Karlees birthday ((my sister in law)). Anyways--he gave me some AMAZING medicine for my nausea--that's the first thing I asked him for. It works wonders--it's called Zofran. It dissolves in your mouth and has the worst after taste ever--and it kinda gives me a head ache--but I'd rather have a headache and a bad after taste in my mouth then be nauseous and throwing up all day! My next appointment is June 15th and we get to hear the heartbeat and get to have an ultrasound to see the baby for the first time which is very exciting.

As far as Davin goes--he's doing good and getting big. Still as silly as ever. He's having so much fun playing with Boston--I'm super glad they're home for awhile because Davin has a friend to play with. I had to go to Salt Lake for a work seminar yesterday so I only got to see him yesterday morning before we dropped him off at my sitters house. He was of course asleep when I got back at 9:30 so I had to wait to love on him this morning and man was he full of hugs and kisses!! I was so excited for them too---he's the best cuddle bug ever. Here are a few recent pictures....

I promise he doesn't dress like that all the time. He LOVES LOVES LOVES his hat and boots and his belly just happened to be poking out--either that or the shirt is to small. His pants look a little short to since the bottoms of them are at the top of his boots--Maybe I should go shopping?

These are the loves I was talking about. He loves giving kisses!

Just to clarify---No he's not that tall. He's standing on a box of diapers. I know I have a short kid but I'm only 5'1 so unless he hits a growth spurt like his Dad--I'm not sure if he has any hope. He's still mighty cute though :).
