A Fox Tale

Fathers Day Weekend... or mothers day - pretty sure I had a better time???

Dean let me go down Utah to play with Emilee. We were supposed to decorate but instead we went shopping and had a great time. Friday night Angela and I had a sleepover, childish yes but we stayed up until 2 and laughed. Saturday Dean met Josie and I at the Frank Hall reunion it was great weather.

Later we took Nana and Papa Shopping and tried to make it back in time for Dean to rope. On our way home Dean told me it was like the Chris LeDoux song Photo Finish. Then I joked that hopefully we wouldn't run into a herd of sheep or get pulled over but not long after we saw the flashing lights. It makes Dean mad when I say it but I'm pretty convinced we could have got out of it if Dean didn't fight back (male ego I guess). $85 later we arrived in time and Dean won 2nd fast go and though the winnings didn't cover the entry fees or the speeding ticket we had a great time.

I was so tired Sunday Dean let me sleep and he got up and fed Josie and played with her. During the meeting I leaned over and asked Dean to take me to Jackson Hole. I didn't think he would but it was worth a shot... he said yes. We ran home and changed and we were on our way by 11. The drive was beautiful the park was still the same as I remember it but well worth the trip. I love Dean, He is my best friend and the Best dad ever.

P.S. Dean is getting a concrete patio for fathers day and I'm really the one who wants it so to soften the blow I got him a cute shirt and when he saw it he politely asked if he could exchange it. I love him.

Girls Camp...

This was the 4th year I got to go up to Girls Camp. I love my young women, our ward has such good fun girls, I really do love all of them. The last day they got rained out so we had the luau at the stake center. It was dry and fun.

We love our cute dads...

Washing Dishes...

I don't have a dish washer, I wish I did but there really isn't a place in my kitchen for one. My sink backed up and it was seriously the longest three days of my life. Dean tried a couple things to fix it and we ended up calling a plumber. Meanwhile I rinsed my dishes outside and washed them in the tub. Gross I know but I was so worried they wouldn't get clean I boiled water, used Clorox, and washed them twice. Truth be know its probably the cleanest they have ever been. PS - Dean absolutely refuses to use paper products.

By the Way...

This girl crawls for real now... no more army crawling.

and for the last time NO I did NOT cut her bangs like that, It's just the way they grew in.

We love visitors...

Granny, Rio, Krey, and Addy came to stay. We had a great time!

Bruise Worth Remembering...

Dean was breaking a colt and it apparently wasn't happy about it. The baby colt side kicked him with both his legs; one leg to the calf and the other to the hip. The picture doesn't do it justice but the bruise goes all the way around.

Branding the Stragglers...

Dean Branded the last of the baby calves for this year. I think these ones made it something like 560 head. He acts like its hard work but he can't fool anybody, he loves every minute.

Josie is so Determined...

I'm a little worried about it. The other day her pants got caught on this pillow and it really slowed her down; so she just wiggled around until she got them off and was on her way.

Last night she was trying to get her bottle of soap off the side of the tub and she would climb up and almost reach it, slip, then slide down. She did it over and over. After almost ten minutes I gave in and just handed it to her.
