Marlee's loving her new ride

Marlee has been enjoying her bike trailer & so have I.

Another roundup

At the end of September we went to our friends ranch for another roundup-this time the Glauser family joined us.

This was the view on our drive into the ranch

That night Ryan took us out on a ride in the ranger. It was awesome- we saw lots of deer, rabbits & a bear! It is hard to see but, the photo above is of deer & just below is a photo of Laun chasing them.

Here is a photo of Cherise & I after the ride

The next day the guys left for the roundup. The kids had fun playing with friends & cousins, getting dirty, & catching creatures.

This was Grahams 1st roundup

Clayton & his cousin Pearce- these two get along great

I think Biggs wants a drink of Launs capri sun

Cherise joined them later on a roundup

Porter on Biggs

That is the hottest looking cowboy I've ever seen




On the way home we picked prickly pears so that we can make some more jelly & syrup

What the inside of a prickly pear looks like

We had a great time & as always our friend Misty made us tasty grub.

Peter Piper

I took the ninos to Peter Piper the other day to meet up with some of my friends. The boys had a great time playing games, winning tickets & getting their cheap prizes. Marlee even got to take her first ride ever on a carousel.

Marbar got her ears pearced

My mom & sister Rachel went with me to get Marlee's ears pearced. This is Marbar sucking her thumb while she is waiting. The longest part was marking her ears because she kept moving

Poor girl does not realize what is coming

Laun ia a genius & told me to bring her a sucker

She was suprised after the first one & ticked after the second ear got pearced.

Luckily sugar works wonders

Here she is happy & sticky as can be

Marlee with her Grandma Turley

I just got her little diamond looking earings & I think it turned out so cute!

Cute random pictures of the kiddos...

Whenever Marlee sees Laun in this chair, she always knows that he will have something good to share with her. She is a little chow hound & loves sharing food with her Daddy



Berry sweet girl

One night we went on a late drive in the desert. All the kids fell asleep in the truck on the way home. We woke up Porter & told him to climb in bed. When we went upstairs this is how we found him- poor boy was so tired he did not even make it up the stairs!

Clayton is such a good big brother. One day he was reading & Marlee scooted right up to hear a story.

Porter can ride a bike with no training wheels since september- great job buddy! He even rides his bike at the weekly community 5k- although him & I take the shortcut.

Family walk:

It is hard to tell but Marlee has 2 teeth now
