Summer fun!!

The other day I took the kids out to the Ranch and they jumped in the pond!! It was cold and windy for June but they didn't care. Keltcee and Rylee swimming Shaelee and Rylee jumping in!!

Rylee my free little spirit!!! She LOVES the water.

Then there is Gavin!!! He wanted in but didn't get past putting the goggles on!! Oh how I love this little boy.

Keltcee and Rylee jumping in!!

They slept outside one night the end of May. It was COLD!! All of them stayed all night though.
Keltcee, Rylee, and Tate.

Gavin slept on the trampoline. I can't believe he made it. He said he was very cold in the morning but wanted to do it again that night.

Little League has begun!!!

I have 4 of my 5 kids playing ball this year..I am helping coach Keltcees team so its a little crazy around our house. We have 8 games a week and then a practice for Keltcee on top of that.. So when do I fit in laundry and all the house work? ....I don't!!! lol...Just kidding but it a busy home and I wouldn't have it any other way. Rylee and Kennedee are on the same team. Rylee gets her cast off tomorrow and will be able to start playing again. Maybe next time she won't try to clear that 3rd hurdle..

A FUN day!!!

We had a very fun day on Rylees birthday. I posted pictures of her in my prior post..These are just some of the pictures I took of the other kids riding. They had a ball and it was fun to see how they were so at home with these horses. I was about to have a panic attack...but it was alot of fun to be together and enjoy this.. THANKS to Shawn Palmer for letting us hang out with his horses.... Gavin had a ball...He wasn't afraid at all and didn't want to leave when it was time..

Tate LOVED this little pony BUCK...They rode that thing everywhere.

I LOVE this picture....Father like Son..

Keltcee is a natural on horses. She does an amazing job at scaring her mother to death...lol..She loves horses as much as Rylee and had a good time..

Happy Birthday Rylee!!!

Happy Birthday Rylee!! Just wanted to put a few pictures on here of our little cowgirl..She turned 10 on October 19th. All she wanted to do was get boots and ride a horse. So her dad made it happen...Here are a few pictures of her day. She had a ball and she looks sooo cute in her Wranglers if I say so myself...

I love these 2 pictures becuase they capture her. She absolutely LOVES horses and in her mind right here I think she is somewhere else in an open field riding...

Happy Birthday Rylee...We sure do LOVE having you in our family...Your a great girl who is alot of fun to be around. I love that you love to give hugs..I love that you know every Taylor Swift song there is...I love that you have a passion for something...I love that you read your scriptures at night...I love that you are a good friend to people...I love that you are my daughter...I hope you had a great day...

Happy Birthday Tate!!

I just wanted to wish my bugga boy Tate a Happy late Birthday. His birthday was on August 4th and we were out of town and very busy so this is the first I could get on. Tate is such a sweet boy. He is one of the most tender hearted kids you will meet.

He is so fun.... I used to wonder if he had a sense of humor cause he was ALWAYS so serious. He has relaxed some.lol...He LOVES to be outside and ride his bike. He is a fast learner and is very determined when he puts his mind to something he wants to learn.

He is a GREAT BIG BROTHER to Gavin. They get along for the most part and if they are fighting Tate us usually the one that gives in. He is LOVING Kindergarten and I can already tell a difference in him at home.

I am so GLAD that Heavenly Father sent me this REDHEADED boy even if its what I feared the most. Tate has a very special spirit about him and he gives the best hugs. He is a very good little boy and I can't wait to see what he makes of himself in the future.

THANKS Tate for being such good boy and adding so much joy to our home. You are a special little boy and add so much to our family. We love you and hope you had a great birthday...

Keltcee AllStars...

We have enjoyed this summer of ball. Keltcee is on the Minor Allstar team and she did an outstanding job. She LOVES ball and is becoming a great little pitcher. She gives her heart to it and tries her best.. She is constantly asking to go out and pitch to me.. I LOVE IT!!! She is such a great girl and I am sooo proud of her. GOOD JOB KELTCEE!!!

The Day from HELL!!

Well sorry for the heading...hope I didn't offend anyone..lol... I just had to document one of the worst days of my life.. It started with me waking up at 430 AM...yes AM because I was soooo nervous for our ballgame. Keltcee would be pitching and she is doing so good. I woke up thinking of different positions to put the kids in and just stressing. I finally got up and cleaned my kitchen and got breakfast made. Keltcee came out and we were talking and eating our breakfast and decided we would go out and just warm her arm up a little. I was out catching for her enjoying our time together when my stomach just didn't feel right..
I told her I would be back in a second and before I could even make it to my bedroom to get Clay (who was still sleeping)...I was doubled over in sooo much pain. It just kept getting worse. Clay asks if he needs to call the ambulance and I told him NO WAY...(personal reasons of why I don't like the ambulance).. well we got a hold of Dallas and he said to go to the clinic and get checked out... well I was getting mad because I was suppost to be going to the ballgame, I didn't have time to be sick...
Clay took me to the clinic and the Dr. told me I needed to go to the hospital...WHAT?? I don't have time, AREN'T YOU PEOPLE LISTENING TO ME.....I have a ballgame to go to...So very reluctenly I got in the car.. I was bawling because of pain, I was bawling because I wanted to go see my daughter play.. I know I am a baby...
My sweet mom was here going to ride with me to the game, so she took Keltcee and Rylee and headed to Round Valley and the other kids went to my wonderful neighbors...Clay and I headed to the hospital. We got there and were the only ones in the ER.. but it still took FOREVER.. Clay said that was only because I was in a hurry.. So they get me back and start asking whats wrong and I WAIT and WAIT and WAIT some more.. I was about to go crazy.. I asked Clay if we could just leave I would be fine. I hate hospitals...I have had 4 hernia surgeries and my gaul bladder out...I was not wanting to stay in there any longer.. FINALLY the doctor came and told me they were going to do some blood work and a ultrasound.. I asked him very nicely if they didn't have to poke me with a needle to please DON'T.. well he had pitty on me and didn't..
I had 2 different ulrasounds and they came to the conclusion and I had a cist on my overary that had ruptured.
I was still hurting but wanted out. The whole time Julie is texting us about the game.. I asked the doctor if we could please hurry I had other things to do...he was dying laughing and said yes you can go.. BUT...you have to take it easy for a couple of day..
So Clay and I got in the car and headed to RV..we made it in the 5th inning and were there to see us lose 11- 10.. It was a sad game that we should have won. Keltcee was so worried about me that she was to stressed to pitch. Once I was there she did well. We are done for now with ball but can't wait for it to start again..
Its not exactly how I planned my day to go but I am thankful for Family and Friends that helped me out...
I am feeling good right now. The doctor gave me a shot in the hip that burned like crazy..but said it would help. I don't recomend this to anyone...
