Fun at the Rodeo

Mike received two free tickets to the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo (DNCFR) so we got a sitter and made it a date. It really had been too long since our last real date, moving to a new place and not knowing anyone to babysit doesn't help much. The Rodeo was interesting, especially to Mike who had never been to one before. I asked him if he would ever go to another rodeo and he said probably not:) Oh well, it was a fun night nonetheless. The best part was the bull riding. It was a golden 8 seconds for one rider, out of all the competitors that night. He was the second to last rider during the last event, Bull Riding. Up to that point no one had stayed on the bull for more than 8 seconds and this guy finally did. It was a fun moment to cheer for him. There is one thing that I am sure of, and that is that I do not EVER want to ride on a bull!

Conference Weekend

Well, I know I am late (as always) with posting updates and stories, but it is better late than never right? On General Conference weekend, we decided to visit Rexburg. We stayed with my brother Corey and his family. We took some cute pictures of Brandon and his cousin, Abigail, who is a month younger than him, but practically double his size:) They were very gracious hosts to us and we had TONS of fun just hanging out... watching endless movies (Australia), and eating good food.

Springtime Fun!

Visit from cousin Kelvin

Well, we had a visit from Kelvin, who is Corey and Daymi's son, this weekend. They drove down from Rexburg on Friday morning and dropped him off. We had such a fun weekend with him, Kimball sure enjoyed it!

This picture was taken at the mall in their little play area for kids. 
Here are the boys again with Mike at the mall, we decided to grab a pretzel and share it. 
It is kind of blurry, but this is the boys in the back of our car on the way to Lava Hot Springs to go swimming.

The baby and I had already gotten out of the pool, but Mike was good to stay in the pool with the boys. Kimball started shivering so we had to go home earlier than we all wanted to. It was fun though, and it is so close to Pocatello, I definitely think we will be going there this summer!
We took some silly pictures of the boys on sunday before we took Kelvin back to Rexburg. They had Kimball's toddler bed on its side and they got inside. So we got back from Rexburg Sunday night and we of course just put him to bed. But in the morning, the first thing he wanted was to play with Kelvin, he figured he was still at our house, it was cute!

New Haircut

We cut my baby's hair... It was getting pretty long and unruly, just look at some of my old posts with pictures of Brandon and you will see. We couldn't believe how much hair we cut off his head, and he is only four months old today! The funny thing is, that all the hair we cut off was brown, and the short hair he has left is mostly blonde!

Silly Family

I think my favorite thing in life right now, and for the rest of my life, is to share time at home with my family. Right now, with two small boys, we usually spend family time on the floor, playing with toys, reading books, and watching Brandon learn to roll over. Here are a few pictures that we have taken of the fun family times that we've had recently. 

Idaho Museum of Natural History

I am still playing catch up on my blog, so bear with me! I just wanted to share some family photos from our little outing to the Idaho museum of natural history here in Pocatello on the ISU campus. We had a fun time, it was an interesting place, filled with artifacts from the natural history of Idaho. We saw mock skeletons of dinosaurs, which of course Kimball loved to see. The trip was not without its 2 year old melt downs, of course, but we are getting to be professionals with dealing with those, kind of:) Anyways, it was a fun family outing and I hope the pictures are enjoyed!

Once upon a time, over two weeks ago to be exact...

Ok, so I admit to being a slacker when it comes to my blog! I have been meaning to update our blog but every time that I think about it, something comes up, like a dirty diaper or dinner time or a family outing. I will start this update with the trip that me and my boys took to Utah over two weeks ago. My father was driving through Utah on his way to California to drop off a load and we decided that we wanted to go see him. I made all the necessary plans and preparations and on February 24th Kimball, Brandon, and I left at 7:00 in the morning. Sadly we had to leave Mike behind, he had school and homework:( 

Our day was filled with fun! We had breakfast with my dad at Market Street Grill in Salt Lake City (if you haven't eaten there you should). I had a crab omelet, which was delicious! It was fun just to visit with my dad, to talk to him one on one. It reminds me of old times, like the time in High School when him and I took a cross country car trip to St. George during spring break... good times! Besides getting to spend time with him, my boys got to see their Papa. We took some memorable pics, a few of which I have posted.

After breakfast, we went to the conference center and toured the facility and then proceeded to the LDS museum of history (I'm not sure if that is the name?). For all the memories, I say thanks to my dad and boys... 

Our new car...WHOO-HOO!!!!

Mike and I traded in our 2002 Ford Taurus Station-wagon, lovingly known as Black Beauty to us, for something new and exciting (or should I say gently used and exciting?) We got a white 2006 Ford Freestyle with only 78,000 (hey, 78,000 is better than the 179,000 miles on the taurus). We love it, and are so glad that we cut our losses on the Taurus, although I do have to say that I miss that old car, we made some good memories in it. Here is a pic of our new White Beauty.
