enough said

Hugh and Steve

Dad and Kennedy. She loved riding and kicked her daddy off the horse so she could ride.

We got up at 4 am, started moving the cows at 7

Everyone was ready to ride

Stew and the gang

Bruce

Roany was ready to go but a little sore from riding all week. It was sure fun though, until next year. Happy Trails to you

September

Kennedy and Kody love to sit on the porch and play. They are enjoying some ice cream and watching the tractors work.

Yes, Kody is in my dishwasher tray. Kennedy is moving the chair out of the way so that she can push him further. They both were having a great time.

Kassidy made us dinner. Black bean salsa salad with seasoned hamburger steaks. It was delicios

Following in daddy's footsteps

Grandma is trying to convince Kennedy that the flowers should really go in her hair. she kept it in for about 3 minutes.

Here you go grandma.

Just before church. she is so precious. She loves to go to church, whatever you do, don't mention nursery until it is time to go in there, pretty please.

Pendleton

We went to the Pendleton roundup in Oregon. I had never been to Oregon so it was really great to see the country. It was not what I expected. Travis and I got to spend some time together without the babies. I worried tons about them but they did great. I had a wicked cold the entire time but we had fun anyways.

An Indian parade

Proof that we are a couple

They are doing the bull riding inside this PVC panel fence being held up by pvc poles and yes, those are cowboys sitting in the arena watching. Crazy.

Calf roping. The chutes were weird. they herded the cows out of this 20 foot box.

I have never seen an arena this big. The bronc riding was cool but the 6 pick up men were awesome to watch.

This was a three horse Indian race. very cool

The grand entry. The horses jumped over the little fence.

The vendors were very cool. Lots of Indian stuff. The kids got spoiled.

I hardly ever get pictures of the three of them together. They are so precious.

Back to School

Kassidy is in the 6th grade now. Holy cow!

Miranda's cake for the fair

Kassidy's cake for the fair

Kennedy decided that she needed to help herself to the watermelon. Just like her mommy, she ate the heart first.

She's not a baby anymore

Kennedy wanted to wear her big girl panties, so Kody thought that he needed to as well. He is pretty proud of himself

Kennedy in her snow boots in september, silly kid.

Kody thought that he needed to help his sister with her homework.

The other day Kennedy and Kody got a hold of my purse. They hid behind my chair and tore it apart. I caught them, yelled at them and started gathering things up, still yelling. Kennedy came behind the chair, put her arm around me and said, "Its OK mom, give me a kiss". How could I stay mad after that?

The Fair

Kody enjoyed the rodeo. He liked the cows the best I think
Kennedy tortured her sisters.

Holding Hands

Kennedy had a meltdown and not even Miranda could make her happy. She wanted to see the cows.

Kennedy liked petting the lambs.

Kassidy and her fortune cookies. The judge was a little harsh. I loved them. my favorite fortune, "You will give Kassidy a blue ribbon"

Miranda and her cowgirl cake

Kassidy and her butterfly cake

Amy and her Tweety bird cake.

They all did such a great job on their cakes. I was so proud of them. They worked really hard and did really well.
