3rd Update Post

Tyler got Baptized last Saturday. It was a very special day for all of us. It was great how much family support he received. I was grateful Cam was able to preform the baptism and the confirmation. We had lunch together at the church afterwords (it was raining outside so we did not use the pavilion). There were a lot of boy cousins there and only three girl cousins. I took a picture of the girls, but the picture did not turn out.






Adele had her Birthday the first of June. We did the same thing with the presents we did on Tyler's Birthday. (We hid the presents and marked the spot with the GPS. The the kids took turns using the GPS to find each hidden present) It had been rain that day on and off, but it worked out good because when Cam got home from work in was sunny. The kids found the present, unwrapped them, played, had cake and ice cream, and cleaned up before the rain started again. Adele had her friend Emily and her cousin Grey over for most of the day.

2nd of the updates

We trailed the cows to the range the end of May. I rode the first part until Carol had to go to work. Then I drove the pickup with the trailer (I needed a break by then anyway).
Adele rode the new kid horse "Sarley" she did pretty good. She had a hard time getting him to do what she wanted.
We have to cross the highway and the railroad tracks. The sheriff was there at the highway to stop traffic and there was long line of trucks waiting this year. Tate and Cam got one of them to blow is horn for them.

After sitting in the front and back of the pickup all day Tyler decided to get out and walk behind the cows. Cam convinced him to wiggle quite a few calves tails (just for fun). I started to ride another girls horse while she drove the pickup. When we were almost to the carrel. I looked back and saw Tyler riding Sorely with his second cousin behind him (they had meet that morning for the first time). I could not believe it Cam had been asking him all day if he wanted to ride and he would wrinkled his nose and say "no, I wish I could bring my four wheeler". He rode the rest of the time. The next morning at 4A.M. he was all ready to ride again. Cam said he was very talkative and excited. Adele, Tate and I went up later that morning. They were almost to the range when we got there, but Tate rode with Cam and Adele rode with Tyler.

It was our dog "Bud's" first time trailing the cows. I think he did a good job. Cam through him in the canal to get two calves out. It worked pretty well and Bud got cooled off.

"Ketchup" time

In April, May and June we had a lot going on.
That is not my excuse for not blogging it was starting to feel like a chore,
and something else I needed to do.
So here is a fast forward of the last month and a half.



Tyler and Cam share a Birthday. We hid Tyler's presents around the farm and had the kids(cousins) find the presents withe the G.P.S. It was pretty fun. We had to put the present out after the rain had stopped. It was pretty late when Cam came in from pipe and fixing a fence some bulls had torn down, but he did not miss the cake, and Tate had not opened Dad's present yet. Tate was pretty excited about the hammer!


For Christmas Cam wanted two Honda Trail 90s for $50. He got the one running at mutual one night with the priest and brought it home. He gave Tate a ride and Adele then the tire lost all of its air! Tyler had been waiting to go on four wheeling and motorcycle ride to the dry farm with Cam. He was pretty disappointed. Cam got the tire fixed and him an Tyler were going to go for another ride, but the Honda trail would not start. It has been fun when it has worked. I have not yet gotten my chance to drive it.


Adele and I made some hair bows, This was also in April!


Ok this was April. Adele had her dance performance. They did a ballet, a cheer, and jazz(?). She had a great time going to "dance class", and liked her dance costumes.



Adele learned to ride her friends bike when it was left here overnight, but since then she just wants to ride her training wheel bike! I have not yet figured out why.
