Spring Break 2009




Was so fun and exiting! Why do I only have 1 picture?? We went to the ranch Friday. Our friends Brady and Jessica, along with Waylon and Whitley their 2.5 month old twins came. Josh,Brady,Clint, and Brigham participated in the 2nd annual river rafting sdventure on Saturday from the bottom of the canyon at the bridge, they floated all the way to Gleasons Flat (the ranch). Also, our friends the Alvey's came it was so fun! We were there alone Sunday afternoon until Monday afternoon, then the CLuff's came. We had fun, we had a mama cow die, and this is the dogie calf we get to keep and feed!! WOO HOO! Actually, the Cluff's took her home to feed.

Then, we went ot the valley, shopped, hung out while Josh started a job in Sierra Vista. We came back to the ranch Thursday. Frank and Van came. We worked on our catch pens, and rode the cows. We also put up our shelves and unloaded/organized all of our Year supply!! I just love looking at it all!!

Now, we are getting packed up AGAIN for our 3rd annual COnference at the Ranch! We have a few families come and we watch conference in October and April. I'm exited

AHHHH It's Wrestling Season again!

OK I love wrestling season, I might love it more than COlton. I get crazy. I get a stomache ache, and I think I get Terrets (SP?) Something takes over my mind and body and it is definately NOT normal!! Colton did so good yesterday There is a video of one of his matches below. He is the one in the blue singlet I couldn't put them all on this one took about 1 hr to down load...but you can see this one!!He won all 3 of his matches and took 1st place at Blue Ridge yesterday!! He wrestles 72's. I'm so exited this kid is absolutely ALL AMERICAN!! Last summer he won the calf riding in the rodeos, he's a great wrestler, He loves scouts, he loves his Heavenly Father, and he is a great Big Brother. He was having a really hard time deciding whether to wrestle this Saturday, or Pinewood Derby, to a 9 year old american male that is like life or death! He is so sweet, he asked Josh for a blessing. He decided to do his Pinewood Derby at scouts! I guess that'll be ok. One good thing is that it is going to be a way better day on my heart and blood Pressure!! GOOD JOB SMOKER!!

MORE ON CADE...

I forgot some funny stuff on my last post about cade like:
On Valentine's Day he woke up. He was sleeping with Ashley.He said I'm gunna get up now. Ashely said ok...oh look Nana got me a Valentine. He said Oh Look I got one too!! It's Valentines Day, Get out the Christmas tree!!! YEAH!!!
Cade has some new and not real friends. One is Miss Bailee, his school teacher who always gives him candy and treats and tells him he knows all of his colors. The others are Mikey and Ben. Mikey has a real cranky grandma that sometimes calls and makes him go home. Ben is strictly here for fun. Ben causes all the messes and anything related to trouble. It kinda reminds me of Kallie. SHe had 2 imanginary friends for a long time. Tree and Corn. Is it just me or is this not normal...???

SERIOUSLY.... Cade is the funniest kid EVER made. Or quite possibly the weirdest....

We just had dinner delivered by Karrie tonight. She made Beef enchiladas and refried beans. As Cade took a bite he very seriously said.."this is so good, who shot it?" OH man he cracks me up!! Then I told him Karrie just made it she didn't shoot it. His reply was "well Cowboys could eat hot stuff!!" We raise some real weirdo's around here. Maybe we do belong in the middle of nowhere on a ranch!!


This is what we did today. We went with Josh to Vernon to the church to pour some concrete....Cade was soooo exited to help. Obveoulsy..... First he started out dressed normal. Then he was assigned the task of washing off the tools. He soaked himself with the hose. And since I am always well prepared (ANNETTE) I had a whole extra change of clothes with me. Except they were Birdie's... so he has spent the rest of the day in this nice shiny heart shirt...At least it's blue...

WHY WHY WHY?

Why when you think you know what you are going to do, do you try to fast about it AGAIN? We are moving to the ranch, I think. But then we decided to fast yesterday, because we realllly want to make sure it is what we should do. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?


The ward boundaries got realigned- which means ALL of our old, wonderful, BEST, amazing , GENUINE, friends are now back in our ward, or we are in theirs..whatever.



But almost better than that LOOK AT OUR NEW BISHOP....STEVE WILLIAMS, like Beau and Gracie and Joshee's dad. Like ANN's husband. This guy is the most amazing person you will ever know. We knew that from the moment we met them, when they moved in next to us. We knew that they were so cool, we knew he was the sweetest husband and father, we knew that he was a spiritual giant, we knew he was the funniest person in the world. But dang now I wish I would have been on better behavior around him!!

SO...here's the question. SHOULD WE REALLY MOVE?? We are so confused!! We really love it here! But we really miss being together. What should we do?
