Horsin' Around

Every year we put on an event... Horsin' Around for an oragnization called Save the Family. We have grown to love and continue to love these families and the volunteers. This year went so well, the weather could not have been better. We had the famous Cooper's Cowboy breakfast, carnival games, horse rides, ropin' demos, bounce houses, face painting, and so much fun visiting with the kids and their families. BIG THANKS to all of you who helped pull off another Fabulous Horsin' Around. James, Ash, Mom, and Dad, we missed you...can't wait for next year....You'll be in charge.

Our little Friends!

We took some of our friends to
our Cabin in Pinetop this past weekend.
Our girls happen to love playing and hanging out
with their girls. They play really well together,
which is hard to find when you have some pretty
bossy girls. (mine) We had a great time,
hanging out, telling stories, and of course building
a "snow woman." No boy talk when these
girls are concerned. It was a blast to get out
of town and be worry free for a couple of days.

Joy!

Griffin is always willing to pose for a picture.
He loves the camera, just like the rest of our kids.
He has been so fun to have around, I get sad thinking
my baby is getting so big and soon won't be a baby anymore.
Oh, he is sooooooooooo.......CUTE!



He already has a favorite hair product. You can't have
good hair without it.

Big Birthday Bash!

This year we decided to have a joint party for Katie and Cole

at Bounce U. We had quite a rowdy crowd, but they had so much fun. I didn't have to do a thing, but be there. Now that's my kind of party!

I Love St. George.......

After Christmas we took a short trip to

St.George to visit with some of my family.

If I had it my way we would have already moved there.

For being a small town, there is so much to do and see.

I had a blast hanging with my family.....I miss them so.

Rena and Chris love taking us on these hikes

that make your thighs burn. My kids just ran up the mountain, even

mylee. (she's our non-hiker) She sang the whole way up.

Of course my kids thought cliff jumping into the sand would be fun..

Cole being the first to think that. Thank goodness he didn't break his leg again.

A Christmas Story

I'm a little behind on my blogging. We had a wonderful, low key Christmas. Christmas Eve we had a few of Ty's sister's and their families over for our Mexican fiesta and of course our rendition of the Christmas story. I absolutely love Ty's family. I'm especially grateful to have them as close as they are.

Have you ever seen a prettier Mary?

Ty played a wise man, very fitting for him. He tells our kids on a daily basis that he is the
the smartest man alive.

The whole gang

Sunday Best

The girls were so excited to wear their fur shaws.

I usually buy them a practical outfit for Christmas, but i knew

they would love to be FANCY!

Katie and Cole are still the best pals.

Everyone say cheese! this is not the best

picture of our family, but they are sooooo cute!
