Trying to Finish Well!

Been breaking out the rain jackets and boots this last weekend and into this week. Shane & I are in the process of decluttering the house & red shed. We started shorting through books last weekend before the rain started. We pulled down 12 boxes of books & sorted to make 3 boxes to sell, and to resort maybe selling some of the rarer ones on Ebay or craigslist. I've been working on the kids room this week sorting through toys in the room and in the shed, and kids books. I ended up cleaning up the shelves in the living room to have kids books in there since we will be getting rid of the book shelf in the kids room. With adding a toddler bed around November in there. No, I'm not ready to move Dakota into a big bed. :-) I will be tackling Shane & I's room later this week. Still not done just slowly moving forward in this process. Shoot I still have 6 months to go. We did have a sunny day yesterday, so the kids played in the pool.

Happy Birthday Wade, it is an honor seeing you become a great Dad, & Husband. We love you very much, and our proud to call you Brother & Uncle. Happy Birthday Sis! We love you very much and our proud of the Wife & Mother you've become. Keep up the great job! We are honored to be able to call you Sister & Aunt!

Not much going on as usual. Kelli & Daniel pushing eachothers boundries and my buttons. Dakota is seeing what kind of mischief she can get into and it overcast outside. We had Kelli's birthday party this last weekend. Sorry for the late notice, thanks to those who were able to make it. Got some great pictures. What any great uncle would do, help a girl with her ear rings :-) Bryn is getting some froggies for her birthday from her cousins & I. Kelli practicing cheering her name with help from Chad. It was so funny! So about the story, Shane has gotten 3 baseball games for free from a co-worker on the train. They are Wednesday afternoon games, so this one he couldn't make it too and I couldn't find anyone to go with me. Plus it's funnier with my spouse. So as some know Kurt's nephew is over for 3 weeks and I asked if they'd planned on going to a game. To sum up I gave them the two tickets for this Wednesday game. I guess they are both huge Red Sox fans a...

On the 5th we left the ranch to go to Rapid for Evie's & Andy's wedding. Before the wedding we took the kids to "Storybook Island". Jepito's workshop It is a must see and it's free!!! The day after the wedding we took the kids to "Bear Country" and of course "Flintstone Park". Yes that's a bear infront of our car. Randy didn't see him till Spencer pointed out about the bear wondering the fence line. In front is Ashton, Kyrsten, back Danaka, Dakota, Kelli, Daniel Dwayne is hiding behind the wheel We had fun touring with Wade & Anna +kids, Randy & Misty +kids, Spencer & Meagen, + all of us. We are back at the ranch for a couple more days. I had fun yesterday helping move some cows that had gotten out of their field with the ATV and my flipflops. Wade was driving part of the time, and grandpa was edging with his truck. Have to say that's the first time I've ever done either:-) The mom's doing the conga line...

Were at the ranch and the son doesn't want to get off any horse he's been able to ride. Monkey, Blackie, Beau, four wheeler. We had lots of visiting with cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandma, & Grandpa Cowboy. Heading to Evie's wedding today, and seeing some sights.
