OKAY, OKAY, I know it has been forever, I am going to try and play catch up with the blog later. Our lives have been so busy lately.

Cody started kindergarten in September and Brandon started preschool too. They both love school and are doing very well.

Having both the boys in school also gives me a little free time, which is fabulous, and so I decided to joint the gym, which has just been great. I like having a little me time.

Tony is plugging along, working and hunting ( will post more on that later).

We also have been busy with our garden. It turned out very well this year with lots of zucchini, cantaloupe, red potatoes and some pretty big pumpkins. The boys do love helping in the garden.

I am just so grateful for the wonderful family that I have and the opportunities to grow together. I have to say that life is good.

SO TIRED!!!

I snapped this picture when I noticed that the house was so quiet. My little monster was fast asleep.

Cody, on the other hand, is all smiles today. He lost his first tooth last night and thinks it is "awesome"!!

4-wheel riding

We love to ride the 4-wheeler. The boys also love to try to drive the 4-wheeler. It is fun to be out in the hills and see the wildlife and spend time with friends.

Ryan and Cody spent a lot of time together riding.

These are my boys!!!! Love them so much!!

So tired from all that fun.

Visit with Grandma

We had the opportunity to visit with Tony's grandma this summer. We all had a lot of fun.

Courtney's Graduation

Courtney has graduated high school. We couldn't be more proud of her. She is such a smart girl and a great role model. Plus she is super pretty!!!

The boys were great helpers to open graduation presents. WE had so much fun in Winnemucca with all of our family and friends!!!

My boys love to spend time with Courtney. I am so glad we got to spend this special time with her.

On our way home, Brandon had a chocolate chip cookie and I am not sure that any of it made its way into his mouth.

First camping trip 2010

We all love camping. We decided for Memorial weekend we should go camping in Copper Basin with a bunch of friends. It was so much fun but a little cold. I didn't get pictures but we were snowed on most of the time.

I did happen to get pictures of the kids. Lucas and Sydnie love the 4-wheeler and the fire.

Cody and Brandon really enjoy playing with Lucas and Sydnie. They are all so adorable.

Elk mount

I went elk hunting last November and got lucky with a 6 x 6 bull elk. Here is my European mount that I just got from the taxidermist. It looks so nice.
