OH MY FUNNY (or maybe mentally challenged) Children!!

COLTON- calls an ambilical cord "ambilican cord" and he calls the announcers stand at the rodeo the "ansibuh" stand

KALLIE- says for HEAP sakes instead of for Petes sakes, she calls the hair pin curve at the ranch, the red man curve. AND yesterday we drove up to the house, ya know the one we have lived in for over a year now)...and said sooo exitedly "MAMA HOW DO WE GET UP TO THOSE ROOMS?" pointing to the 2 FAKE dormers on the house!

CADE- where do I begin? he said yesterday that he was shy. I asked him what is shy? He said "shy is when you ride the heck out a broncs and go to kindergarden when you are 5" Ya I don't know about him...Our 2 neighbor boys names are Utah, and Riggin. He calls both of them RIGTAH... His favorite song at the moment, because he is 3 and should have a favorite song .....i guess is "CHicken Fried", it is the second song on my play list, and that is the only reason it is on my play list... He went for a 4wheeler ride with our Bishop and his kids yesterday, and all I could hear him saying is "you guys know my faroite song?..A little bit of chicky fry, a cold coke (beer but we make him say coke) on a Friday night...he was singing CHICKY FRY the whole way!!

BIRDIE- Has started to be an escapee...Yesterday, she was headed out almost to Ann's wearing her PJ's a purse on each arm, a purple head band and a beanie I have to lock the doors to keep her from getting out. Yesterday again she made it all the way over there!...I told Cade to run and get her this morning because she was headed out!! She wouldn't come, so he DRUG her all the way, screaming and fighting. Also, she has started to say tainte ew for thank you, anc CACA when she poops, CACA for Colton, and CACA for Kallie.

Here she is standing on the dishwasher, to see what is going on up on the counter. She can open it, and pull the drawers out. She gets so mad if there are dishes in it, because it makes her ladder not so functional.

She also enjoys hanging from her car in the front yard, instead of driving it. Try to take it down and see what happens...it is not pretty!!

She also LOVE LOVE LOVES baby dolls. SHe carries them everywhere!!

We are raising some fun kids!! We are loving our new 25 chickens! Trying to keep their lives in tact with Cade around, it's pretty hard!

HAPPY EASTER!!

We left for the valley on Friday about noon. We got there, saw Adrainne and Gabe...Josh's sister and our nephew that are for 1 month from Argentina! Then Josh took me shopping for my bday, just a quick trip to the mall, nothing too great. It was nice to be alone with Josh for the first time in 3 weeks. This is Adrianne and baby Gabe.. We went back to Josh's parents and did pedicures on eachother, and went to bed. Saturday morning we went to AJHS for coltons wrestling tournament. He did good. He won 2 and lost 2. It was really close, he lost by just a couple of points. Good Job!! He was NOT in a good mood. He hadn't lost a match until then, so he was a little on the bad mood side! But it was nothing a bunch of Easter Egg coloring with Aunt Ash couldn't fix!!!

We had a good night, we went for yogurt and watched MAMA MIA!! Then we got up and got ready for church. I told Josh that we were going to take some Easter Pictures, and for 3 days prior, I had been coaxing him, and begging him to PLEASE smile and look at the camera! He NEVER does. Well take a look at the pictures I saw when I down loaded my camera!!

This is a nice picture of Birdie!

OH this is a nice smile, and he is looking right at the camera! Nice of Colton to be doing so good also!

Oh Josh you are really trying to make your sweet wife so happy!! You are so Photogenic!

Seriously, this is the best picture I found in the oh maybe 100 we took. If you look past the part where he is grabbing himself I think it is a great picture!!! COME ON JOSH!! I was so completely Pi$$@# when I saw these ...o'well. I called him fuming mad, and he said"wo wo babe, i clearly remember you telling me over what seemed like 200 times, to SMILE and LOOK AT THE CAMERA...I did everything you asked of me sweetie." AHHHH what a punk!

From the looks of these pictures, it seems Joshua has recieved his photogenic genes from his father...see below!

Here are some other pictures they kids were so cute for easter...thanks to Ashley, Annette, and The Children's Place!

We had easter dinner, and an easter egg hunt:

Then we had an adult egg toss. It was going great until Josh dropped our egg and then he just stole another contestants agg out of her hands and started chucking eggs at everyone. It turned into a major egg fight. Lindsay and Matt's car got the worst of it, I have a welt and so does ashley. THEN josh turned on the hose and wouldn't let us get close enough to egg him, so he drenched all of us!! It was fun!

Thanks so much you and Dave are the best! Also, a big shout out to Dave my father in law, for feeding at the ranch this week so I don't have to YOU ARE THE GREATEST EVER!! I totally take back all the bad things I've ever said about you! (just kiddin)

3rd Annual General Conference Weekend PARTY!!!

SO every conference weekend since we have had the ranch we have the Peters and Wyatt's over for conference weekend. It is always so fun. This weekend started out with Spagettii salad and bread for dinner, then we hung out and watched TV. Josh was the entertainment for the evening, trying on VAN'S suit. It is actually a suit we found when we cleaned out the back room. We were going to burn it, and then Van tried it on and it fit perfectly. Van is extremely smaller than Josh. But here he is:

Saturday morning the Wyatts made yummy whole wheat pancakes with homemade boysenberry, peach, and maple syrup. And Bacon. It was so good, then we watched some conference, and they guys and bigger kiddos went to check the cows. Us women and small children got ready and went out in the jeep over a very bad road, to meet them for a picnic at Bronson (a pasture where the cows are). The Peters provided a great lunch of hamburgers hot dogs WITH CHEESE fruit and pudding salad, chips and dip, and drinks. It was sooo good. For this meal, Brady provided the entertainment by putting the pony Snowballs in check, he was having some attitude problems. I have the video, but it is sooooo long it would take all day to down load. It was funny.

We went home and had ADOBADA and watched a movie that night. We were all really tired.

SUNDAY, we had biscuits and gravy for breakfast, watched conference (it was soooo good) then for half time entertainment we had a mean game of woofle ball. It got a little intense. But all Cade would do is hold on to Brady's legs as he pitched, and tackle people. I have no pictures of Jessica, it is because she was either nursing a baby, changing a baby, or rocking a baby (they have 2 months old twins!!). She did come out and play woofle ball and may I just say that she was VERY good!! LoraLeigh was also great, she is so fun. Me...ya I was just more out there for a good time, I didn't really help my team at all. I was too busy trying not to pee my pants because I was laughing at Vinnie, Josh, and Brady playing tackle woofle ball.

THEN, we went in and watched the afternoon session, got uplifted, ate pork tenderloin, good salad, roasted red potatoes, and a yummy desert that LoraLeigh made. We cleaned up and headed out. THanks for coming and helping, and entertaining us it was a blast. See ya all in October..and you better come because by then I might be loosing my mind from living alone in the middle of nowhere!!
