The fun of Best Friends September 18, 2014

 Kody and his best friend Mayzie Seely  always thinking that they need to get into mischief all the time, but what do you do when they really love playing with each other and she is leaving in another week, Kody will really miss her. I don't know what he is going to do without her.











Dixie Roundup Parade Train and Rodeo Grand Entry September 13, 2014










Scout Camp out at Cole Pits September 12-13, 2014


 Brother Evans on the right didn't have as much fun as the rest. He was going down in a wash and then when they was coming back up Babe took him under a tree and he was brushed off the horse and hurt his back a little bit, so when the boys rode down to the road off the hill he drove down instead, but he had fun anyways.


 Brother Randall was having a lot of fun, he said that he should go on horse rides more often because he really enjoys it.


 Cyrus and all the other scouts that was with them had a blast and these aren't even Andy's scouts they are the younger group, because Andy's scouts couldn't come, but all the younger ones really wanted to go, so they were invited and every single one came. I am glad that he can take all these kids for horse rides.



 Kyles fun jump of the hill, they said he just kept doing this over and over.


 The tunnel, they thought the pictures were cool when they took them with the sun shining at the other end.



Thatcher has had his good friend Daniel come with him on a lot of his fun trips because he is moving on the 27th of this month and we are all sad to see them go they are all really good friends and we hope to keep in touch with them. They will be really missed.

 Our new horse Ruby she is 2 years old and hasn't been trained yet, but Andy has rode her 5 or 6 times and he just loves the disposition that she has, as you can tell she doesn't even care that there are 3 kids on her back awesome kids horse.

Kody's first day of Pre-School September 6,2014

 Kody was so excited that he forgot his backpack and so he had to use a plastic bag to bring his homework home, he had a lot of fun and enjoys everyday when he goes. He always tells me how much he enjoys going and seeing his teacher and friends.



Southern Utah Half Marathon. August 30. 2014


 I love the beautiful sunrise we had that morning I wish that I could've stopped to enjoy it more but we were on a roll and didn't want to slow down any to much. This race so far has been my fastest one I have done I came in at 2:39.41 and that has been the fastest one out of the three that I have done this year. I really liked the course it was fun it has some down hills and some up hills but it was challenging enough that I enjoyed this one more than the Yankee Meadow one because that one had to many hills, so by far this one has been the best. I just hope the next one that I have on November 1st is just as good or maybe even better we will see how that one goes when we get to that point. Thanks for all the support from my family and friends.
 Don't you just love the pictures that they think they need to take when we are coming in to the finish line at least Jeannie got a good one.


 Jeannie Willard my running partner and I after the race enjoying our selves.

 These are some pictures that we had them take for us at the end to show from our group of friends who came in first, second, and third place out of just the three of us not the whole race, it was fun. I came in first at 2:39, Jeannie came in  second at 2:41 and Jeremy Poston came in third at 3:00 and he wasn't ready for this one he just doesn't think that he has to train and we keep telling him that we do and it shows by how much faster we are getting and how much slower he is and Jeannie keeps me going and I keep her going but Jeremy just does his own thing, he might start to train for the next one 3 weeks before but we will see what he does.
