Roche Branding Day!!

Every year we get together in Mackay with all of Jay's family and brand his parents cows. The kids have so much fun and think they are such great helpers. It's so fun to watch them learn new things and learn things that they probably shouldn't. Jay's parents are wonderful and my kids absolutely love them. They have so much fun playing with their cousins and can't wait for Crystal to have her baby so they one more cousin to play with!!

Rodeo Fun!

We went to the Dodge rodeo with my whole family. We ended up getting 30 tickets all together. It has become a family tradition to go on Thursday night with everyone!- The kids love it! We lucked out this year and only had to pay for the kids tickets- It made the rodeo even better!!

Easter 2009!

Yes, I know I'm a little behind with all my blogging- I'm trying to catch up the last month in a day! Easter was alot of fun, we decorated eggs the night before and the boys loved it, Mackie wasn't quite sure what to think! Easton thought the dye for the eggs was Candy and popped the Green one in his mouth- Needless to say, we had green every where. Luckily, it came out of everything!!






Easter morning, I forgot to take pics until it was time to go to church- Yes, I know I'm not a very good mom! It may have been because I was a little frazzled, I went to finish my cake for the Easter party after church and found this!!

Hunter's first jazz game!

Last month Jana, Jody, Lacey and I all took our boys to the Jazz game- We had so much fun! We went to dinner at Red Robin were the boys tried out some lemons. We then did a quick run through the mall- The boys joined the Easter Bunny- they were all a little disappointed when they couldn't get him to talk!! Thanks for the invite Jana, we had a blast!!

9 Months old!

I can't believe Mackie is already 9 months old. She is such a joy in our family. She has grown up way to fast, she says,"Da Da" and "Ma Ma", she can clap her hands, she does up to the sky, she stands at the side of the couch, and many other fun things. My favorite thing is when I pick her up and she starts patting my back, SO CUTE!! She hasn't quite mastered crawling, however she does scoot herself backwards and gets up on all fours. I'm sure in no time she will be all over the place!

Maysi the Gymnast!

My cute little niece, Maysi, was in the Idaho State Gymnastics Competetion last Saturday. She did really awesome in all of her events, especially on the floor. She competed in vault, uneven bars, floor and balance beam. It was so fun to watch her. Maysi is only 8 years old and extremely athetic, she excels at everything she does!
She had gone skiing the day before and got a horrible sunburn- Her face was all red and looked like a big blister. She still did a wonderful job and we are so proud of her! Good Job Maysi!!

Wrestling Champ!!

Hunter is done with his wrestling season- It was a busy month. He did awesome! He is such a good little wrestler. He's so fast and strong, most of the boys aren't sure what hit them! He ended the season undefeated. At every match he had quite an audience. My parents didn't miss a match and Jays parents and Grandma Coates drove all the way from Mackay to go to 3 matches, that's dedication! We really appreciate them coming all that way for a few seconds!! At a couple of the matches their were about 15 people their to watch him- I have such a wonderful family and I'm so glad that we are so close and support each other in everything!!
