More pictures. Kassidy thought she was so big, she was supposed to be napping. Kids sledding, Cooper face-planted into the snow bank and Rhianna is so lite, she flew down the mtn.!

Terrible

OK, I know I am the worst as I have not updated my Blog since school started. That should tell you a lot about life around here! Kassidy is 9 mo. ALREADY and sleeping. Coop and RK are watching a movie as we have already played ranch, built a snowman, snowforts, watched the propane guy fill the tank, so what is left, really? MOVIE = a quiet minute for mom! Life is good! The pictures include Kassidy, so cute, the primary program in October and Iveson's first annual Christmas Eve Sledding Adventure!

Daddy's Girl

I love this picture. Rhianna thinks the sun rises and sets on her Daddy (as we all do) and this kinda looks just like that!

Wells Jr Rodeo

Cowboy Cousins!

Rhianna, Cooper, Falen, Austin

Birthdays!

Yeah, Updates!

Summer is over and Fall is coming, it is already getting cold at night here. Cooper starts school on Wed, Rhianna, preshcool next week and Joe and I are off to Nashville, TN for a week. Business mtgs, nothing fun! Kassidy is big as ever, almost sitting up, talking and laughing when you touch that little spot just under her chin! She also found her toes. Isn't that just the cutest? I love it!

Today we went for a nature walk for Fam Home Evening. We talked about how lucky we are to have a beautiful world, etc. We got back to the house and Rhianna says, while looking up at the sky, "I just wish I could see Jesus!" Cooper in all his wisdom, says, "you can, just find a picture, or something." Rhianna said, " no for real" and Cooper says, "you can't, Heaven is too far up." Then Rhianna says, "Wait, I think I can see his feet!"(still looking at the sky). They are just so darn funny! They are so smart and innocent.

The fair and round-up was this weekend, we had way too much fun at the carnival. Kassidy got her first taste of cotton candy, from Joe, of course! She thought that was very good!

I am finishing up a good quarter in my Mary Kay business. I have added a couple team members and hope to be a team leader by the end of September. Super exciting for me!! Joe is traveling all over, trying to get Fall business going. I am going to spend the next couple of weeks trying to make sure everyone is clean, fed, and where they are supposed to be on time! Wish me luck!

Cooper, Rhianna, and Kassidy

Rhianna turned 4! She was so funny on her birthday. She kept saying "Becuase I am 4 now......" and she got to make all the choices becuase "I am the Birthday girl!" We were playing today, she was pretending to have a Mary Kay party with all her little play make-up and lotions. She kept calling me sweetie and telling me what was for sale and what was not. She is getting so big all of a sudden. I am not sure what her and Cooper were doing, but I heard her say, "Oops, Cooper we shouldn't do that, Look what we are teaching Kassidy."
We have been talking about what we can do while we are young so we can be temple worthy. The kids both picked that they would work on talking nicer to each other. They were going out to play yesterday and I heard Cooper say, "Rhianna, we are supposed to be remembering to talk nice so we can go to the temple." I am very excited, they are actully listening and applying things that will help them make good choices through life!
Kassidy is so much fun. She may be a little spoiled, accidently! The kids are so attentive, anytime she makes a noise, they run to her rescue! This is good and bad, cause she is starting to want someone there all the time!
Cooper also had a b-day. The big 6 and his first friend party. He got a saddle and has been going with dad to ride whenever possible. Today he got to help gather and made a big save. He single handedly kept a big bunch of yearlings from escaping. He was very excited to tell the story and beamed even bigger when dad said what a good job he had done! I am going to be sad when he goes to school ALL DAY!
