I am grateful everyday to have such a wonderful little girl!!

I feel like my heart is always dangling out there for her
and like this dancing flower I dance at the site of her...my sunshine!!
the cupcakes are for the sweetness she gives in her heartfelt I LOVE yous...

but I can't forget the man of my dreams and for all he has done and given me...I am so thankful for my family and hope they know just how much I LOVE them!!!

I am posting out of order at the moment but I realized that I never posted about RJ's time at fair.
This was her first year doing 4H and at the end of the summer they go and do County Fair and get judged on their abilities with their horse or if they have other livestock then they would be judged on those.
Since this was her first year we stuck with just one animal and of course she did horse. She used Princess( grandpa's horse) and did amazing for her first time.





one of her first events was showing her horse





they judged the horse and the handler in this one





it was a small course they had to work with and everything had to be just right





she did ribbon in this but all those that participated got a ribbon...so she doesn't like to count this one...LOL





she had sooooo much fun just being able to stay on her horse all day and hang with her friends that love doing what she loves doing...being a cowgirl!!





now this is an event she had never tried before, it is called pole bending. You have to weave in and out of the poles and do it as fast as you can...





and for her first time and out of about 20 kids she got 5th place :)
she was so excited!!




so needless to say we of course are going to do it again next year...and adding a pig to the mix. She wants to raise and sell a pig at fair next year, so wish us luck on that one :)





at the end of it all she received 6 ribbons...2 second place for show, 5th place for barrels, 5th place for pole bending, 5th in western pleasure & 3rd in western riding.
We are so proud of you RJ!!!

I know I have said this before but it is bitter sweet to have a 5th grader
This her 1st day of school...
she wore a smile and was full of excitement...she couldn't get out the door fast enough to meet all her friends.








I had to chase after her to catch a few more shots :)








her desk with all her goodies for the year all tucked away nice and neat





and then last but not least her new teacher, Mr. Harsh...scary name and tall but a nice guy...she said he is strict but funny :)





you will do great in 5th grade my sweet, smart girl :)
I love you!!
Mom

this a tag along from the post I put up the other day of our trip to Thermop...
while there we also saw a really awesome car show
here are just a few of my favorites from that day





I have always been in Love with anything antique and so these cars, trucks and even motorcycles really catch my eye








it just wouldn't be vintage without the dice in the window :)








the paint job on this bike was amazing...





this sign was on the side of one of the old trucks...it is so true!!








and of course it wouldn't be complete without the Chevy :)





now this one has a story...we got to know the owners of this unique car...it was all hand made and crafted out of steel...
they were so sweet they even let RJ sit in it...





they said "what else is it for but to be enjoyed by everyone"
RJ was thrilled to be able to get in :)





so that day was a great day...saw allot and took allot home with us as far as memories.

on our way home from Utah from Shane's family reunion we stopped off in Thermopolis for a break.
We have lived here 6 six years and never walked this pathway...it was really a site.
Not just cause of the incredible views or the mineral pools but because this is what I got to see...





it humbles me to see the LOVE that Rylie and her Dad share...sometimes they are like 2 peas in a pod...





they are so much alike...





she is always in awe with anything he explains to her or shows her...





when we got to the swinging bridge...which was freaky to be on...they both leaned over the edge at the same exact time...like I said, 2 peas in a pod :)








it really makes life so much more fun and exciting when you get to spend it with your most favorite people everyday...





I see so many different things through the lens of my camera but this will always be my favorite view...my 2 most favorite people :)





it was not a long trail but it was long enough to be able to have these memories for a lifetime...
along the way I spotted some other things as well that I can't help but to share :)








I love wildlife...











have you ever seen such clear water...looks so inviting :)





then this little guy...he was so cute just had to shoot him...LOL











love the summer time and all that is brings out...colors especially!!
