MY KINDERGARTEN BOY!!
Took me a while but I'm finally posting on Brenden's first day of Kindergarten!


I love his feet in this shot!


Just being adorable before they went to the bus stop!


Him and Corbin are checking out
Lego Starwars toys!


Here is the backpack shot!


All the school kiddos!
Chase, Corbin, Jacey, Brenden & Tanner!!

On the way to the bus stop!!


That's my boy!


Kids being kids!!

I love all these kids! I'm so glad Brenden
is surrounded by them on the bus!!

Just look at what I made!
He is my best friend!

...sniff sniff....


They never even looked back!

Here are the 1st timers!


SOO Cute!

"Show us your crazy faces!"


This is a "Butt" shot! I love that Brenden
is just doing his own little thing!


The infamous Butt Shake!


He is so grown up! I am so torn when I see pictures
of him like this! So glad he's turing out the way he is.....
and so sad he is growing up!

PEACE!


Then it sets in....this is school!


"walking the mile...
walking the Green Mile"
YAY!! Brenden's Apple!!!


Getting home!!


They were so happy to be home!

Brenden said the bus is "freakin hot mom"


Ammon & Trina brought him to surprise me
at work since I missed his first day!


This is him saying "Mama"

Then he RAN and jumped up on my
counter to give me a hug!!
Nothing beats that!
We ate a yummy lunch together!

SFW DINNER
We got invited to come help cook dinner for the Sportsman for Fish & Wildlife! It was a fun night! It was held by Enterprise at Dean Terry's ranch! It was fun being involved in the cooking becuase we got to spend time playing around with the kids and enjoying our surroundings before the party actually began!

My Sweet Peepers going for a walk with mama!!


My Big Boy was upset that we
weren't shooting bows yet!


Cason started trying to hide!


We peeled 100lbs of potatoes! Janiece saved the last
potato for Cason to peel! It took him forever but he
got the job done!! It ended up 1 skinny potato!

We got to go for a ride on the paddle boats!
For some reason my boys ended up with Shayler & Janiece


I couldn't get them to come ride with me and Keihin but
they were willing to smile for a picture!!


Me and Brenden during the dinner!


Cason & Keihin during the raffle drawing!
Cason is practicing how to snap his fingers!


Brenden won a knife during the raffle!
We also won a hat and a decal!


Brenden finally got to shoot his bow!


Look at that kill shot! He is amazing!


My poor baby picked up a hot charcoal and it
gave him 2nd & 3rd degree burns on his hands!
He just sat watching a movie and holding a
cold pop can when it didn't hurt too bad!

BUTCH CASSIDY DAYS 2010
We never miss the Piute Fair & Rode in Circleville!! 9 straight years I have been attending!! We had an absolute blast this year. This year we had all the cousin's there as well as a friend that came to celebrate too!!

Cason did NOT want us to pin on his number!
He screamed and cried and threw himself on the ground.
I think he thought the pins would hurt!


I just love shots of little cowboys on fences!!


My sweet cowboys! I love it!!!


Brenden showing me his muscles while we
were in line for the sheep riding!!

Here is Cason! He was not excited about it!

I love this shot of them concentrating!

Here goes Brenden...


...and now it's Cason's turn!!


Here is Cason on his Barrel Run!
He decided to go around the barrell twice.....
I asked but he didn't get any extra points for it!!

Brenden making his run!
Brenden had 1 of the fastest runs!!!

Brenden was soo pumped for the chicken run!!


He ran as fast as lightning!!

This shot is out of focus but I love the fact
that Cason is running and pulling his pants up at
the same time! My poor kids have no butts!!

My little Stud!!


After the rodeo Uncle Rowdy challenged Cason
to a Bike race!


Getting ready to do a little
Bunny Bow Huntin'

Colby did alot of walking through the sage brush
trying to stir up the bunnies!!
Cason got out of the truck and started jumping around
like the bunny he saw!!

While Colby was looking for his 2 lost arrows
we sat in the truck watching the storm clouds roll in!!


It was a beautiful night!!

Me and my Brenden riding in the back!
It was pretty cold up there!


The storm clouds made the sunset up there absolutely
beautiful wherever we looked!!

The sun was actually GONE 2 seconds after I took
this shot! I pulled the camera away from my
eye and there was no sun left to see!!

This is our family brand "T Lazy S Ranch"
I hadn't seen this one framed yet!
I want one!!!
Cason is never too happy getting on horses at first.
Once they start walking he does fine but he
hates when the horse stands still!!
On his walk with Aunt Krissy


Aren't they adorable!!


Kristin multi tasking!


Rowdy stepped up and saved Kristin
from dealing with both horses at once!
Uncle Rowdy getting back from the ride!!
