-MUD VOLLEYBALL-

So saturday we went to Aberdeen for a mud volleyball tournament!! I wasn't sure how much fun we were going to have at first, partly because I have never played volleyball in the mud before!!! However I was pleasantly supprised at how much fun it really was!!! There was a full on BBQ and the winning team got $1000.00! We gave it our best but didn't quite make it into the finals:) Steve said we are all going to have to practice so we're ready for next year!! Thanks Conan we had a GREAT time!!!




P.S. We are thinking of putting on a mud volleyball tournament here in ASHTON!!!! What do ya think?????

PLAY-PLAY-PLAY

So yesterday the kids wanted to go ride horses with Brett and he being the great dad that he is took them for a ride! I was outside hanging laundry on the deck when they came to see me! They were so cute-they are so lucky to have such a great dad that will take time to go play with them!





Then later in the day Brett and I went to the temple and Shawna watched the kids for us. I wasn't sure what they did while we were gone but after I looked through my cammera this morning I think I have a pretty good idea of what they were doing:) I'm not sure Brett will approve!!!



Brett was taking care of the hat a couple days ago when Tucker found his little loader in the big tractor! So as you can see he took it and found a little pile of dirt to play in. The adventure continued when we saw some of a rattle snake that got bailed up with the hay. It was kinda creepy:)

-SHEEP FALLS-
On tuesday there was a big group of us girls that took off on an adventure to find sheep falls!!! I think we all did really well all things considering-and we had a great time! It's so fun to have so many good friends to go do stuff with. Thanks everyone for a great time!! (Natalie it was a great idea!)

The 24th of July Parade!!! We love it and go every year. Tucker's favorite part was the airplane's that kept flying over. I just thought the picture of Brooke & Tucker sitting by each other waiting for the parade to come was so cute! (maybe that's because they never hold still?) Anyway we had a great time there and at the roedo that night!

BLINDS & FISHING

Two days ago I came home to find a great supprise the blind man had been to my house and installed my new blinds!!! It is so nice to have something on those big windows and not feel like everyone can see everything that's going on inside at night!!! I Love Them!!


A few nights ago Brett thought we should all go fishing with him and being the fishing expert that I am I thought it was a great idea:) We had a great time Brooke caught her 1st fish and wanted to take it home and hang it on the wall next to the bear but. . . I said NO!! I think 1 bear is more than enough wild life on the wall so we let the fish go. We had to keep an eye on Tucker with his fishing pole. He kept throwing that thing around he somehow managed to catch me twice. That was probally the best catch he made all night:)!

NO worries Megan I cleaned the smuge off my cammera so the pictures should start looking better!! Thanks for the tip!

Where has July gone???

Yesterday was the day to move the cows on the range! We took lunch up to feed the guys and see how things were comming along. Brooke & Tucker love the animals and riding the horses like crazy! (They did not get this from their mother:) Tucker got to ride with Brett for a while and was so mad when I loaded him back in the truck! OH WELL!! Brooke is such a big girl that she got to ride her horse Fox all by herself. . . YIKES!?!?! We had so much fun and then it started raining and well let's just say we came home soaking wet and cold!



Now that is one tired Cowboy!!
After we finished with the 4th we took off to the POPE family reunion @ Downata Hot Springs. We had so much fun. It's so good to see the whole family when they live so far away!!
Here are the Aunties!!! (And Brett!!)
Tucker going down the little slide.
Me and the kids with my Grandpa & Grandma Pope!!
The 4 great-grandkids!! It was such a fun party I think we should so it every year instead of every 2!! Thanks everyone (especcially mom) for a great time!

I guess I will try and play catch-up!! This month has gone by so fast! We had so much fun on the 4th of July. We started the day with our "Famous" Ashton parade!! My kids just loved it! After the parade we went over to Uncle Dee's and had a fantastic cook-out and then we headed down to Idaho Falls for the huge firework show! My dad haul's in 2 big flat bed trailors so we can go hang-out, talk, eat, and just have a great time!!! Thanks soooooooo much dad it was another great year!!
