I guess I am picture happy tonight. This was taken in October at the local Pumpkin patch.

I just love this picture. I took it in Oakdale last year at the jr rodeo Chance and Connor were in the pee wee events. I have a fasination with black and whites.

Trouble

I was attempting to get some cute pics of Chance, but all he wanted to do was make it difficult(imagine that for those of you that know him this comes as no surprise lol). He is my limit tester. One day I put him in a time out and told him to sit down on his time out chair, apparently I was not specific enough, i came around the corner to see him scooting the chair around the kitchen floor while sitting in it. I asked him what he was doing out of his time out and he replied "you said to sit in my time out chair and I am" I was not happy to say the least . Now I am more specific ," you need to sit in your time out chair and stay in the corner. I am starting to already fear the teenage years. They are funny pics though oh well.

Pre-school graduation

June 13th Connor's graduation from pre-school

I can't believe he is going to be in kindergarden and Chance will start pre-school for three days a week. I dont know what I am going to do with myself. Maybe my house will stay clean for a while (I can wish can't I). This picture is Connor and Miss Rachel his teacher from this past year, she was great. He also had his first love a little girl name Delany, he said he wanted to marry her. His graduation ceremony was cute there was three classes that participated.

Memorial Day

I am finally updating my blog.

I have had pictures on my camera that I needed to upload and I just got around to it.

We usually go away for Memorial Day weekend,but we had some obligations, so we stuck around for the weekend. So on Memorial Day Rob's cousin got a group together and hosted a roping and BBQ. It was a good group and we had a lot of fun. My new horse is working really well for me he is a lot of fun to ride.

More t-ball pics

T-ball continued

This wednesday Connor has a game, and Chance has practice at the same time, and of course they are at two different fields 10 minutes from each other, so Rob and I will have to seperate and each take one. It is so fun to watch the boys play, and as I watch I start to think of the many many years ahead of me that I will be doing this sports shuffle. I now see what it was like for my parents. I would't change it though the boys love playing and we love to watch them.

T-ball

This saturday we started our t-ball games for the boys. Chance is playing on a tiny tball league that is for 3 and 4 year olds. They are the Blue Bomers, so cute.Connor is in the South sutter league for t-ball with 5 and 6 year olds. They are the Lugnuts . We missed opening weekend because we were at a wedding, so this was the first weekend the boys had games . It is hard to believe they are already both playing this is Connor's second year and Chance's first year. What a hectic day Connor had pictures at 9 am at one field and then Chance had a game at 9:45 up the road at the tiny t-ball field. Then we had to go back at 2:00 for Connor's game.

Favorite pics

Here are some

of my favorite pics

of the boys from the

Oakdale Jr. Rodeo this past

August. They were in a

few of the pee-wee events.

funny picture

I just had to post this

picture of Chance in my pink and brown rhinestone boots, it cracks me up.

I am sure I can use it in

the future to embarass him.

The song "I'm a Rhinestone Cowboy comes to mind" lol

Fall Harvest 2007

The boys got to ride with Rob and Bob this past fall. They loved it I could drop them off with grandpa or dad and go get some things done. Chance would have a fit if we would drive by and he would see the combines running without him. Connor got upset when Rob would not let him drive and said to Rob "but grandpa Bob lets me drive(as seen above)" it was pretty funny.

John Deere photo shoot

Here is a picture of the boys with their cousins. Danny, Avery, baby Carson, Connor, and Chance.

Laura and I wanted to get a picture of all of them in their John Deere gear that Bob and Karen had given to them.

Super heros

So the boys new thing, as some of you know is to wear these capes all over town and eveywhere else we go. They are only taken off for bath, bed, and school(and that takes some convincing).

It is actually pretty cute , I love to watch people's reactions in the store. They smile as if remembering their own childhood, or times past when their now grow childrenwould galavant around in their capes. They will stop to ask the boys if they are superman or batman, and that changes as often as the days.I love watching the imagination of children. Having kids gives you and excuse to be a kid again yourself.

Connor and Chance playing cowboy on BB

Here are some pics of the boys riding the other day. Notice that Connor is riding with his cape on of course, and Chance had to wear his chaps to ride he insisted it was pretty funny.

We finally have a blog

We finally have broadban internet service. yeah no more dial up lol, so it will not take all night to download a picture so ,

I have finally started a blog to share pictures with all of our family and friends.

Trip #2 to Disneyland this past summer.
