Remembering

We miss you Garrett. We love you!

Love you mom!
I had a big, beautiful flower pin-wheel on my mom's grave - and was so sad when I went to see it and it was missing. We looked everywhere for it - maybe some kid thought it was beautiful. Anyway, after Brady helped me look and we couldn't find it - I was leaving and noticed that he walked back and put a big yellow flower that he picked on the pin-wheel stick. What a nice kid. He is sweet - he was trying to fix it.

And you thought you knew where babies came from! Sheesh! Silly you!

Brady the Handsome

Brady has been learning to play the guitar this year in his music program at school. His class just had their end of year performance - which was fabulous. He's pretty good! And good looking too - did I tell ya?! What a kid!


Mom - do you really have to take pictures at my guitar concert? Get over it will ya?! Other kids are looking! Stop it already!
Mrs. Heiner gives some last minute guitar advice. Yep, Bekki and Jen that is Kristi Heiner herself - Brady's music teacher! You can never really leave Bedford!

How Many Kids Can Fit on an ATV?

I guess the answer is 7 - almost 8.
Quick! We need to find more kids!

Gotta Dance!

It was dance recital time again for Rae and Reese. Their recital was Saturday night, and they both did so very well. Reese performed a tap number and a ballet number while Rae performed a tap and jazz.
They sure do look like sisters! Don't they!
Of course, Reesie LOOOVES to get all beautiful before a performance. Make-up, hair-do --what could be better for a girlie girl!?!

Here is a picture (a bad one - sorry) of Reese's Ballet performance.
Rae tapping her toes at a dress rehersal.
The beautiful dancer.
Brady and his buddy Seth were great audience members.
The song Reese danced to for her ballet was "Stealing Cinderella" and she was so thrilled because she got chosen to have her dad dance with her on stage for the performance. It was such a beautiful dance and Kelly did great. He and Reesie looked like Fred and Ginger.
Both of the girls got to dance with Kelly in the opening number of the recital. They danced to a song called "Dancin' on Daddy's Feet". Yes it was beautiful and tear inducing!

So they both did wonderfully - and now we can rest from dance practice until the fall! They had so much fun in dance this year.

Bran The Man

What a cute boy! He likes it when mom lets him hold a spoon and go for it.
He likes it much better when mom is gone, Rae is tending and she lets him eat chocolate. Sisters are soooo great.

Rae Rides Again

Last weekend Kelly took Rae out to Grampa's house and they really gave her horse a good workout. This is Lady - Rae's pride and joy. They are preparing to hand over the Jr. Rodeo Princess crown to the next lucky girl at the end of this month. Rae is excited to dress fancy again and ride a bit more as she shows the "newbies" just what it takes to be a rodeo girl! She will be helping the younger girls try-out for Lincoln County Royalty. What a Rae. We kinda think she's swell.

Time To MOW!

May 9 2009
I finally get to mow my lawn!!

We FINALLY had a beautiful spring day in Star Valley and I was able to mow my lawn. Now I know that most of you don't think this is something to blog about - but if you think that - you have never lived in Star Valley. We love to live here so much, but we definitely have to suffer through a few months of not-so-nice to get to the bliss that is summer.
A few daffodils are trying to poke up and prove that it is spring time.
