Great Job Girls!

I just want my girls to know that i am so proud of them. They love to barrel race every week and are getting so good at it. Taylor could just ride for hours as Brentlee cant wait to go around the barrels, but wants off right after. They are both so so much fun to watch and there personalities couldn't be more opposite. Love you Girls! Great Job me an dad are so proud of you.

Taylor was so happy, she won her first check which was 8.00. she didn't care how much it was but was just so proud of herself that she done so good. Here she is holding her trophy and ribbon, she also got a 50.00 gift certificate to IFA. Good Job BUG we love you!

You can never tell by looking at Brentlee's face but i promise she loved ever minute. They put her name in a drawing and she won this cute container full of horse brushes, rubber bands, and a paint brush. She has played with it non stop, i just haven't had the ambition to go pretty her horse up with her, what a bad mother.

Brentlee and Rylee had so much fun together. Here they are with there little trophy's, ribbons and there 50.00 gift certificates. Great Job girls we love you.

Everyday Adventures!

Nothing new or exciting going on around here. The girls have been loving the weather and just love to be outside. They have been ridding there horses a lot and staying busy every second. it has been difficult for me to stay caught up with the kids. Jazlyn is walking and into everything, once the door opens she is headed out. She gets so mad when her sisters leave her. soon enough she will be doing everything they do. Brentlee is the same old kid, so hard headed and stubborn. She has had a hard time since Taylor went back to school. She gets so lost and board. she follows me around the house all day asking "are we getting Taylor yet". As for Taylor she is loving every second of school, and is doing very well at it. We are so proud of her and hope she continues enjoying it.

Here are some pictures of our every day adventures!

I'm still not sure why they think it is fun to swim in the water where the cows slobber. Of course they talked there dad into it, but as for me i was considered a poor sport. There Papa (grandpa Brent) trained them very well to strip down to your underwear and jump in. I'm sure you think we are crazy, but just to see the girls have so much fun is well worth it.

Wow! Seven years ago on July 27th i married the most amazing person. He is the perfect husband, Dad and best friend anyone could ever ask for. He truly is my best friend we do everything together. Tyrell is willing to do anything he could for me and his girls. The past seven years have been the best years ever and i look forward to every day just knowing i am married to such a wonderful person. No matter the trials we face as long as we stick by each other we always over come them. Tyrell has token on so much since my accident, i feel so bad thinking i am holding him back from so many things. He is so good to me and has never complained once. He says he is more than happy to do anything for me and he has proven so. Tyrell has given me three Angels that i couldn't imagine life without. I just love to set back and watch Tyrell with our girls. He is such a good dad and does anything they ask him. Our girls would much rather be with there dad playing than with me, but i wouldn't have it any other way. They just adore there daddy. I just want him to know that i love him more than life itself and appreciate everything he has done and continues doing for our little family. I am so excited for the many years to come.
I LOVE YOU!

I'm A Slacker

I know i know i am so behind but from now on I'm making it my goal to keep up. It has been a busy summer, so i will try my best to sum it all up for you. i had thought two kids was busy until the third, and now i know what losing your mind is all about. it seems i have no time to myself but you know i wouldn't have it any other way. bare with me as i tell you just a little that's been going on in our crazy life.

On the 14th Tyrell was out riding his horse and it slipped and fell on him, yes he was stubborn and walked a long ways before calling anyone. Me and the kids were already in bed when i herd him stumbling through the house, as he was still trying to walk on it we took him into the ER. He was so stubborn that he drove me and the girls there, what good was i to even go.lol. yes it is broken, in a boot and on crutches for a while.

I was hoping that would have been the only ER rush for a long time, nope wrong again. On Monday the 20th we was doing chores just like every other day, The girls play while we feed. It was just me feeding this time as there is not much tyrell can do on crutches. Just as i was getting done i heard Brentlee screaming. O great here we go what now. She was holding her hand out with blood just dripping everywhere, i rapped her hand tight in a sock (the only thing i could find) and ran home to wash it off to see what exactly we were dealing with and o my hell was it disgusting. There was stuff hanging out of her battle wound which we found later was from a piece of metal. So we made another run to the ER. I was so embarrassed to find it was the same dr as the week before. All i could say was ya I'm back again. Brentlee is so dang tough and proud of her three stitches. It was so funny to watch her after they had numbed her hand and give her pain medicine, she wouldn't shut up. She talked non stop all the was home, and was so so funny that night at the house, Tyrell couldn't stop laughing at her. I was to busy watching her i never recorded it. danget. it was good watching.

It doesn't look like a very big wound but I'll tell you that was a lot of blood. She amazes me, and hasn't complained one bit.

It was a very happy Birthday for both Jazyln on the 16th and Brentlee on the 17th. I know they wont like to share there birthdays on the same day when they get older, so while we can get away with it we are going to do them together. I cant believe where the time goes, my last little baby is one, and my monster that i have to watch at all times with both eyes is now three. its so much fun to watch them grow and learn. as i was thinking back with Taylor we pushed her more to walk and talk, but now with Jazlyn i find myself holding her back and not wanting her to grow up. It has been hard for me to realize that she is my last little baby and i wont watch another grow like i have watched my three perfect angels, but i am also very blessed to have my girls by my side and to see them smile. Happy Birthday Girls!

All Brentlee would tell me she wanted was a longhorn cake, so that is what we came up with. Nothing fancy, but so loved it.

Jazlyn's Ladybug kind of turned out scary, but it was fun to try something new. After all she didn't mind one bit as she dug right in. she loved every bite.

Tyrell had went on one of his crazy fast trips to pick up a bull in Oklahoma, so me and the girls just hung out at the house and had a fun movie night. Me and Taylor also got board and decided to give her a hair cut. She has been asking for over a year now to have her hair cut short, and she finally talked her dad into saying whatever. I dont think he was to happy about it, but i thought it turned out cute.

Her hair is so much easier to take care of.

The 4th of July was fun even thou we didn't do anything. They don't do a big celebration in Altamont until the week of the 24th. I had Kolbi and Braxton and so we just hung out at the house and played in the water witch i learned mud was much more fun. They had a blast, it truly wasn't on purpose, but when you have a kid like Braxton that acts just like his dad(Trent)and a monster like Brentlee bad things just happen. As i had looked out the door Brentlee was on her hands and knees in the mud and Braxton was just in the process of putting mud on his head. I was to late so i just let them have a mud fight. Here are the results.

Braxton, Kolbi, Taylor and Brentlee

We left for Oregon on the 18th of June for a Texas Longhorn Sale. What an adventure we had driving straight 14 hours with three kids. What was we thinking! No it wasn't to bad i must say they did very well. So we got there late that night and all i wanted to do was go to bed, but Jazlyn had other plans. The next morning the guys had to be with the cows and do whatever it is that they do. haha, I'm not totally sure what goes on all day as they sit there and wait for all the cattle to arrive. us girls had other plans. we took the kids to see the Beach, had lunch and stopped at a bunch of fruit stands along the road it was great. We met up with the guys later that night for a BBQ and the view of the cattle. That night we took the kids swimming which Jazlyn absolutely hated. i would barely stick her feet in and she would scream for a couple of minutes. The next day was the big sell. They had raffles that i had put in for and i won the raffle with the longhorn skull. Yes people think I'm crazy but i was so excited for winning. The sell went good, we sold two and yes came home with one. i guess i should be glad that it was just one we came home with. lol. By that night i definitely need some kind of sleep. The next morning we loaded up and headed back home. I still don't understand how we made it all the way there in one day, but it took us two full days to make it back home.lol. We had all had enough driving by the time we got to Twin Falls Idaho. so we stayed the night and went the rest of the way the next day. What an adventure. it was great, i enjoyed and loved all the amazing sights. here is lots of pictures from our trip.

The drive was so pretty and green i loved it.

We drove along the Columbia river. the girls just loved to stare at the water and watch the boats. it made me very nervous at first to drive right next to it but it was so neat to see.

Taylor is so happy and loves life. Brentlee is so grumpy all the time, Where did she come from?

It wasn't the best day to be at the beach. but Taylor loved every minute of it. She had so much fun with McKenzie and Bailey.They loved to wait for the tied to come in and try to out run it.

Poor Freddy

Brentlee is so devastated, her horse Freddy was stabbed in the thigh by one of our longhorn cows. She helped me take him to the vet, and they said he would be just fine with exercise and antibiotics. so that is what me and Brentlee had been doing for about a week. we had walked him one morning and put him away, that same night i get a phone call from Tyrell saying Freddy died. Poor Brentlee was so sad and wasn't sure what i was talking about and just insisted on seeing him. so i took her to see for herself what i was trying to explain. all she could say is "put him in trailer, Dr. will get him stand up." I just felt so bad for her, she loved him and was always so mad if anyone would ride him cuz that was her Freddy. It is hard and sad to see, but also i think it is a good life lesson. He went very peaceful, it looks like he had just laid down for a nap and passed on. Poor old Freddy we will miss you.

Brentlee's first time one Freddy and just loving every minute. You know Brentlee is enjoying every minute and loving it, just for the simple fact that she is giving the camera a smile in her own goofy way. for you that don't know her, she never smiles.

This is both Taylor and Brentlee barrel racing and loving there time on old lazy Freddy!

Jazlyn is growing so much and is into everything. It has been so much fun getting to know her little personality. She had been the most fussy kid i have had by far up until about two weeks ago that is. She got tubs put in her ears and O my that has made the world of difference. She is so happy and playful, instead of sitting on my lap and screaming when i leave the room. It has been so nice i am actually getting things done around the house. My poor little baby must have been is so much pain I'm so glad she no longer has that pressure and pain and she can be the happy little girl we have been waiting to see.

She loves to pull this face and say OOOOOOO. I just love her being happy.

This is the result of Grandma Tami making Jazlyn happy with liquorice.

and here is a picture of Aunt Jessi babysitting her with Oreo cookies. One thing is for sure Jazlyn loved every minute of it.

Happy Birthday Taylor

Happy Birthday Taylor and Dad. Wow my little girl is so grown up, i can't believe she is six years old. it was such a crazy day, but went very well. She had her intersquad that day. she had worked so hard to compete and done very well, taking second place. she was so excited and to share with everyone that was able to make it. My mom and Morgan, Dad and Virginia all was able to make it up and watch her compete. she thought that was so cool. She had such a great birthday and was so very pleased to share her birthday with her Grandpa, she thinks it is awesome that it is on the same day. As for myself i am so glad her competition is done. If you know me i was never into dance let alone anything girly, and so this has been a great challenge for me. I have learned so so much and am truly amazed at my six year old to be able to come up with her routine by herself because i have not a clue as to what she is suppose to be doing. I'm so PROUD of you Taylor way to go. Love you lots Kiddo

Taylor and her best friend Eva had there birthday party together just so it was more convenient for everyone. They both loved it, we made bracelets which they all seemed to love. I made the cake which was fun not professional by all means, but i enjoyed making it and the girls both were excited for the my little ponies.

Taylor was so excited she had gotten second place and was pleased with herself. I'm so glad she is not selfish and has very good sportsmanship. As Taylor was warming up Brentlee was trying to learn. it was cute.


Taylor wanted me to make her a flower cake for the family party we had for her, so this is what i came up with. it was fun and actually turned out to look like a flower. i was proud of myself. haha.

Easter Fun

My trip to Phoenix was great, except it went by way to fast. We had so much fun and lots of lack of sleep, but well worth every minute. We got there Wednesday night and was so excited to see my sister and her cute little family. My great-grandma and my aunts Mitizi and Jerilynn flew in the same day. My dad and Virginia drove and got there on Thursday. That night we had a great dinner and colored 5-dozen Easter eggs, yes 5-dozen.

It was safer for Brentlee to take her shirt off.

On Friday we all went to the Phoenix Zoo. The weather was perfect, just a little breeze to keep it cool so we didn't die of heat. The kids had so much fun seeing everything and i think there favorite part was ridding the little train. Me and Taylor found it funny that the first thing we happened to see at the Zoo was Watusi cattle which we have one of them at our ranch.

At the Zoo

Our Watusi (Juniper)

After the Zoo we went to a Easter Pagent at the Mesa Temple. It is a pagent kind of like the Mormon Miracle Pagent in Manti. It was Beautiful. Taylor had so many questions for everyone. She had thought that it was all real and not a play, so we had to explain. I just love to hear the thoughts my little ones have and the things they say.

The Easter bunny came early this year, which was so nice of him just so we could all spend it together. So saturday morning the kids woke up to a mess of candy and all there eggs hidden in the house. It was rainning outside so the Bunny hid our eggs inside, it was GREAT FUN.

When you have 5 dozen eggs you have to hid them where ever you can think so yes even in the bathroom. The girls thought that was so cool.

Brentlee gathered all the candy and could care less about the eggs. She is so funny.


Dad and Virginia had to head home after all the morning fun. Me, Ra'Shelle and Derek took the girls swiming and then went out to dinner that night. It was such a busy but fun day.

On Sunday we hung out and had the best Easter food ever. My family was great to watch my girls while i took a little nap. All of the fun had caught up to me and made my back weak, but just a power boost nap does great. So thank you for watching my crazy girls. After the girls asked a million times to go swiming, we loaded up and took them. They just loved every minute and kept everyone on there toes. I was so sad having to go home the next morning, it all went by so fast. i wasnt even gone yet and i was already missing my sister and her perfect little family. Thanks everyone i loved every second and miss you all so very much LOVE YA LOTS!
