6 years old!

 

Jojo turned 6 last week, we invited all her cousins to come for a easy & relaxing birthday weekend complete with no hair combing and all the playing outside you can handle  My sister Ash and her 3 little ones came, my brother Jason and his 3 big and little ones came along with my parents. It was a ton of fun!

Sadie caught and took pictures of this horned toad that her and Paige played with for most of the day

Cody and Chase had fun playing with trains.

James and Jojo are pretty good buddies!

Paige manned the drink station making sure all the kids (minus 2 babies) always had water to drink. Woo! that's a lot of cups!

Sadie, Lindsey, Paige, Cody, Chase, Jordyn, James, Abbie, Grandpa, and Jess (smile Jess)

 

 

 

This is the cake it turned out so cute. Ashley made the Fondant (Fon-donnt, don’t you watch the Cake Boss?) I made the cake and we both put it together. Thanks Ashley!

We decided to eat cake and ice cream outside and roast marshmallows for s’mores. After all we can’t have cousins out with out doing that!

Grandma and Lou Lou. My mama is so cute!

 

Cody, Uncle Pixie, Jojo and Paige. My brothers are the BEST daddy’s ever I love them (even though Chris and his fam couldn’t make it we thought about them a ton)!

 

Grandpa, James, Abbie, Grandma, and Lindsey

It was such a fun weekend Thanks for making the trip down to the ranch. Happy Birthday Jordyn Kelly we love you so much!

Jess

 

this is my sweetie-pie niece Jess. She came and stayed with me for 2 nights so she could be spoiled by her favorite Aunt Jen. She is such a funny little thing. She is so girly I love it. I had a fun time getting to spend one on one time with her I love when I can do that with my nieces or nephews!

I Looked out the window…

I looked out the window and what did I see? Cows and goats staring back at me! This ranch has brought me such a nice surprise, animal poop right before my eyes! (to the tune of Popcorn Popping)

 

i got home the other day and our sweet little goats had figured out how to get out of their pen, they leave little “surprises” everywhere. Also we had 2 cows that roamed into out font yard. Close the gates guys!! Gotta love it!

Fall Break

We went to the valley for 2 weeks for the girls Fall Break. We of course stayed at my mom’s house and the kids have more fun there then anywhere else we could have gone

Jojo and Cody played dress up

  

Cody got to play with Chase and James

The kids got to eat dinner in the family room on the floor, something that could never be done at home

 

 

Sadie and Paige made Shrinky Dinks (I loved those when I was little)

At the end of the second week was Millie and Keegan’s wedding. JC’s Uncle John was there. Sadie could not get enough of him, she was his shadow whenever he was around.

 

The wedding was perfect. The weather was great, the food was yummy, the music was nice and the location could not have been better. Millie looked absolutely beautiful! Congrats Millie and Keegan!

Halloween

 

This year for Halloween Sadie was half beauty… 

half beast. She had so much fun with this costume.

Jordyn was a cheetah kitty.

Greg and Tara invited us to there home to celebrate with them Tara made it so much fun for the kids! She had bobbing for apples and a doughnut game to play the kids loved it, so did JC and Greg!

Cody bobbing for apples

Jojo went next.

Owen was a little unsure about the whole thing for a little while

So Sadie took her turn.

 

Sweet Reese had fun playing in the water.

Greg decided we wasn’t going to be shown up by a bunch of kids so it was his turn!

After taking a lesson from his dad Owen decided he would give it a shot, Yea Owen!

Now it was time for the no hands doughnut eating.

  

      

This game Jack and JC decided they couldn’t miss out on

 

 

Here are the trick or treaters ready to go. Jojo the kitty, Sadie the half face, Cody the pirate, Owen the Blue Batman and Reese the pretty little Minnie Mouse.

Thanks Horsley's for inviting us out we always have fun when we are with you!!!

Beautiful Evening

The other night we were all out side and this is what it looked like. It was so beautiful, I love when it starts to feel like fall. I love Arizona!

  

 

 

It doesn’t get much better then that!

Growing

We have been regularly getting truck loads of cattle around here for the last few weeks so JC and Kelly have been extremely busy but I don’t think they would have it any other way.

The kids love to watch

Kelly is guiding the truck, keep coming…

Just a little more.

“Hello ladies, Welcome to your new home, we would love to keep you around as long as you like and as long as you produce. Make your selves comfortable and enjoy the fine dinning we have prepared for you!”

Stretch those legs there is plenty of room

“Jen, quit taking my picture”

here come the calves, hello babies

go find your mamas

you guys too!

“How do they look to you?” “Good, what do you think?” “I think they look good.”

All is well, all is good!
