Happy Birthday Sweet '16'

Well...she is finally Sweet 16! Happy Birthday Baby! Whit has given us some really great years...a little bit of SASS and a whole lot of LOVE!

This weekend we get to watch her play at State Volleyball in Orem at the UVU! It will be so fun and a good time to have a small vacation.

Good Luck Lady Badgers!

Happy Birthday Sweetie

Whitney Gets Her Buck

Well...as you can see...my little girl got her second buck in her lifetime! He is quite a nice three point...I think that her dad is quite proud of her...but then what daddy isn't proud of their little girl!

We had a great time here at home while they went hunting...we made a batch of white chili and a batch of red chili...some bread sticks and cinnamon rolls with chocolate chips in them! YUMO!

The little kids played while we cooked and then Chelsie, Stephanie and myself watched Wuthering Heights...it was a great movie!

Poor Whitney...she missed church today because she has a cold with chills and fever...even as I am writing she is laying on my bed and snoring up a storm...completely given out...what a little trooper she is!

Grandma's Boys...Boys...Boys!

Here are some random pictures of my boys...I just love them...I really need to get some pictures of my three boys together...soon!

But I thought that these pictures are pretty darn cute and I wanted to share them with everyone...Sorry Rissa...I stole your pictures...but they are so darn cute and we missed you guys at the Fair this year...next year!

It's the deer hunt this weekend...bringing with it...a batch of Red Chili and a batch of White Chili...and...Cinnamon Rolls...YUMO! Come if you dare...we would love to have you!

Have You Found Your treasure Yet...Keep Looking!

It's A Road Trip War

So...it's a road trip war for the Lady Badgers...we lost to Bryce Valley...that means we took 4th place in Region! We will have a playoff game on the road against another region to determine who will go to State on October 30th & 31st!

I believe the girls hit a wall...they seemed to lose their drive the longer into the game they got! However, Whit dug up some way nice passes and we couldn't be prouder of her...I think that they will get their crap together and win the playoff...am I betting on it...well first of all I don't bet...but if I did...well...I think I might put money on the Lady Badgers pulling the win off...I guess what it will come to, is who wants it the most...well of course "The Lady Badgers" do!

What in the world will we do with our time for a week...possibly a week and a half...um...no games to watch...I think that I'm actually going to have withdrawals from no game syndrome...is that even possible!

The most important thing is that our girls are being honest on the court and coming off winners for having actually acknowledged that they touched a ball that was called out...Whit did this yesterday...I am so happy that she told the referee the truth and gave the other team the ball...however; it was touched by the other team twice and Whit called for the touch but the other team wouldn't admit to it...just goes to show you just how much greater the Lady Badgers are than those that choose to be dishonest!

Have Fun Finding The Treasures In This Day!

Huge Game Day

Yes...it's a huge game day for Lady Badgers...they are playing Bryce Valley tonight and need this win so bad! If they win...it puts them in 3rd place going into Region...that will be good!

These ladies have had a fairly good season this year...their coach Heidi has been sick and they have certainly missed her! I think that they will do okay if they keep their spirits up and move forward like nothing can stop them.

The baseball boys are playing today in their semi-finals baseball game against Piute...State will be tomorrow for them. I haven't seen but one game of theirs this year...I just can't find the time to make it to all of the different activities going on...wow...what a life if you have two kids playing sports...I did that once with Jaron and Chelsie...we chased for six years...it was a lot of going...but oh...how I loved it...nothing can replace watching your kids do what they enjoy doing!

Whit will soon be driving...I don't know what I'm going to do...when I don't have pick her up from basketball practices...my...what to do with the little extra time...um...YES!

It doesn't seem that long ago that she was playing Junior Jazz basketball...then she was old enough to do Horse 4-H...boy we sure had a great blast there...life will never be the same...she turned into such a beautiful rider and she sure can show with the best of them...4-H lost some of its challenges...so then she started to show in the Open Breed Shows in the Panorama Show Circuit...she did Awesome there as well. The one thing about her showing at such an early age meant she grew up a lot faster than some of the girls her age...she had to learn how to conduct herself in front of a judge and show respect at all time...while she managed her horse! My baby has grown into such a beautiful young woman...I believe she is going to be alright in life!
