Braxton's first baseball game

Trevor and I went to Braxton's baseball game with Travis and Sunshine, and the whole gang! It was totally cute! These little kids learning how to hit the ball, catch the ball, and all that! I loved it! Here is a little video of one of Braxton's at bats!



Tava's visit

The last two weekends Trevor and I have been in Soda Springs all weekend long visiting with the family. We had a lot of fun, and here are a few pictures to show you!

The Picture to the right is Trevor's Grandpa Dursteller. He is in his 70's and still parties like he is 21! He is a sweet old man who we all love dearly. I told him to smile in this pic and he told me he is way too old to smile! Silly guy!

Trevor and I went to Stockman's bar with everyone, and had a lot of fun, dancing and being silly!




This is Tava and me. Tava is one of Trevor's older sisters. She is around Travis's age...Trev thinks she is older, but not by much.... Tava moved to Texas a few months after Trevor and I started dating. She is a dear sweet sister-in-law, and I wish they lived closer so we could see them more. We hadn't seen her in 2 years! More often is in order here!

This is the family. A few people are missing, but I will list who is in this picture from the left.
Back row: Trevor, me, Brianna, Lynn, Ashley, Brad. Middle row: Kamille, Travis, Tava, Dana, Kelsy. Front row: Sunshine (holding Addison), Alexis, Pacen, Braxton.
There are several family members not pictured, and we wish they would have been able to be there with us...It was a lot of fun!


Here is a picture of our newest niece Addison. She was all tuckered out! She had a busy weekend too!






Here is Dana (Trevor's mom), Trevor, and me. It took 3 pictures to get all of us to be smiling. I'm laughing because everyone is so silly!


Here is a picture of Dana with the kids that were able to be here. Tava, Trevor, Dana, Brianna, Ashley, and Travis.



Everyone wanted to do funny faces, so here it is.....Silly family...I tell ya.....silly!













Trevor and Tava









Wolf and Ernie sharing a stick that Pacen found for them.











Brad (Ashley's Boyfriend) wanted to take Wolf for a bike ride....I was so nervous that one, or both of them were going to come back bloody, however, they both came back happy and content. And, This is our dog that never wants to go on walks! I need a bike...








Our niece Kamille got her first 2 wheeled bike (with training wheels of course!) Last weekend. She enjoys it so much, and is a real pro! It won't be long and she will be riding without training wheels. I tell you what tho....she is growing up way too fast for my taste! She isn't even 3 until October!







Last Friday we spent the day outside with Pacen, Braxton and Kamille...It was our first sunny day in a few weeks!
They played catch with Trevor, and were so cute!






Wolf and Ernie were getting into playing too.

Money in the mail box......

I totally had to share my wonderful experience of checking the mail on Tuesday.
Like everyday of checking the mail, I turn into that little girl that is excited to see if there is anything fun for me.....Usually, I am just disappointed because all I get are bills.
Well, This day was different. There was an envelope from a company that I am somewhat familiar with...I worked for them 3 years ago, just before Trevor and I were married.
Well, what do we have here, a check for 39.14!?!
What is it that my eyes are seeing?
A paycheck from 2006?
Is this true?
Can this be possible?
Yes folks, this is a true story, the company was audited by the Department of Labor, and was found that they were not paying for a portion of the day they should have been.
So, I was paid 65.54 minus taxes....
Yeah, that's dinner for me and the hubby!
So, you may ask, what is the moral of the story?
Well, Duh, keep checking your mail, you never know when something awesome is going to pop out of it!

Do you remember Kordi?

Do you remember our baby? We had picked Kordi out of a litter of 14 puppies in November of 2007, and in January of 2008 we brought her home with her half brother Doyle. In August she became preggers, and delivered 7 healthy puppies, which we found homes for 6 of them, and kept 1 (Wolf). In November, we made the difficult decision to find her a new home, due to the fact she needed more attention than I could give, and wasn't a multi-pet home animal. A very nice couple from Rigby gave her a wonderful home that she can run around and chase squirrels, and butterflies. Kordi is very happy in her own home. Here are some pictures sent from her new Daddy. We are planning a trip up to see her next month, and I am very excited to see if she remembers me. It is amazing to me how much I am still attached to this beautiful creature.

A reason to brag......

Most people use their blogs to brag about their children, or accomplishments........Well, folks, I am not bragging for either one....well, it might be an accomplishment..........
I put our Air Conditioner in all by myself....I cut the wood and hammered the nails, and all that fun stuff! I am so proud of myself, I had to share..... It certainly was a feat worth talking about, especially since it took me two hours!

I'm sure I will be getting a talking to by my husband, but oh well! Yeah!
