~ME~

My Love for all Eternity!!

So far I have done a spot lite for my family, but not for me. Its hard to find things to say about yourself so I will try hard.... There is nothing more special to me then my little family. I love them more then anything!! They are my Joy and my life. Everything I do it is for them. Especially teaching Keplar and Kyly the things that they need to know in the gospel and in the world. I feel like I fell at this all the time. Then when I see Keplar do the things that I have taught him there is no feeling to compare to the Joy that gives me. I feel like my heart is going to explode for the love that I feel for them.

Before I was a mother and a wife it was just me.. Growing up was the best life ever. I loved ridding horses with dad and doing gardening with mom. Which blossomed into the greatest experience of my life, Rodeo Queening. From that experience I gained confidence in myself and abilities. I gained a great relationship with both my Dad and Mom. I had to depend on them both so much. Dad helped me endlessly training horses and helping me with my reining patterns and mom worked with me on everything else. She did amazing jobs on all of my clothes making me the most beautiful modeling dress ever.

Then Rodeo Queening lead me to the my best friend, ADAM!!! If I had not been queening I would not have went out with a good friend and met him on main street grilling steaks!!! So Adam!! My life was forever changed because of him. Now 6 years later we have been blessed with two beautiful children who are the light of our lives!!! I'm so grate full to be mother. There is no better privilege in the world!! I learn so much from Keplar and Kyly everyday they are simply amazing. Thank goodness I have Adam to help me I could never do it all alone.

What a cute Smile!!

Halloween FUN!!!

Look how long is hair is!!!

Tammy the Rodeo Queen with ME!!

Kyly, Me, and Keplar

I love Halloween with all the fun scary things and kids dressing up!! I love it even more when the adults dress up and play right along with the kids. Me and the kids went trunk or treating with Bobbi and her family, Dad, and Tammy and her family to the Chester ward. It was so much fun we did a haunted trailer and I sat inside it with the strob lights and pumpkins going off. It was great. I think it was the biggest hit. Keplar and Kyly had a lot of fun also going to get all their candy with their cousins. Even Adam got into the Halloween spirit over in Afganistan. I'm sure glad that he did. It would have been fun to have him here with us!!

Halloween Party

Due to sickness at our home the day before Halloween it has caused us to cancel the Halloween Party that I have been planning. I'm really kind of sad about I was looking forward to having so much fun with all those cute kidos. Next year I will make sure and do it sooner so in case I need to cancel I will have plenty of days to reschedual it.

~KYLY~

Kyly girl is our greatest blessing that we could never replace. She is Keplar's best friend and Daddy's little girl and my little angel. She is so different from her brother. Kyly has always been calm and content with whatever is going on. Sense the minute she was born she has been smiling. She is the sun in the center of our family. She completes our crazy family..... Without a doubt she has her own little personality which has a mixture from the rest of us.

Kyly loves to ride horses and play outside with the dog Patch and her kitty's Alley and Penny. She is always more then willing to help everyone. I love that she is always aware of everyone around her. Whenever Amy, Grandpa, or Grandma come home she always says "Hi Grandpa or Hi Amy, or Hi Grandma." She has a very caring and sweet spirit about her that lites up our whole world.

It is exciting to see how much she is growing and changing everyday. She is talking a lot better and able to express her wants and needs much easier. She is truly our little heaven on this earth. We love her so much!!
