Thankful

Yesterday in Sunday School Jenae & Aubree had to write down what they are thankful for.    In case I misplace the original papers they wrote on I thought I would make sure to keep record of it in my blog so down the road they will remember what they were thankful for at ages 4 & 7.

Jenae is thankful for:
God, Jesus, The Holy Ghost, Cats, Dogs, Faith, Food, Water, Horses, Mom, Dad, Whitney, Aubree, Emma, Zebras & all her pets


Aubree is thankful for:
God, Giraffes, Brooke, shows, lakes, horses, cats Jesus, toys & noses,

I am not sure where they came up with some of their ideas, I thought they were all good things to be thankful for :-)

Halloween 2011

We had a very nice evening for trick or treating.  Jenae was a pirate, Aubree was Snow White & Whitney was a pumpkin.  Kyle got Dad of the year award for taking Jenae and Aubree trick or treating while Whitney & I had a nice quiet evening at home :-).  The girls got so much candy!!!  They should be set for some time with the sugar :-). 

Chip called over on Halloween morning & told us that Lucy had her puppies.  Aubree, Whitney & I went over to see them right away.  She had 10 puppies!!!  Unfortunately one of the puppies died and we are down to 9.  We will have Christmas puppies for sale.  If you know anyone looking for a loving pet for a Christmas gift for someone, be sure to send them our way.  They are pure bred Australian Shepard puppies out of working parents.  They are great family pets, working ranch dogs & watch dogs!

A cattle sale, A birthday party, & a Halloween party.

We had one busy day on Saturday!  It started off bright and early with getting ready for the cattle sale.  Kyle and Jenae left the house around 7:00 to get ready to help get the cattle rounded up.  They were riding by daylight!  We all headed down to the sale by 11:00 and got home around 4:30!  The cattle sold really good, so we are thankful for that!

That evening helped Trey celebrate his 2nd birthday!  He is growing up to be such a big boy!  Marilyn fixed yummy ribs for supper.  It was a really nice party!  The kids were all pretty tired after a long day, but they were all really good and had a lot of fun playing together.

My cousin Heather was having a Halloween party at her house.  I was tired, but I wanted to go out and see everyone.I dropped Kyle, Jenae & Aubree off at home.  Whitney & I made a quick trip to Heather's house.  It was nice to see everyone and visit.  We got home shortly after 10:00 & it didn't take long for Whitney & I to fall asleep.

Hope, Aubree & Trey watching the sale.

Jenae took this picture of Whitney.  She is really big on making sure that I get good pictures of Whitney
to put on my blog and on facebook.



Trey, the happy two year old!!  He got so excited when we sang
Happy Birthday to him.

Chip, Ben, Jenae, Aubree & Trey enjoying the bon fire.

Family Time

A week ago on Sunday our Church hosted a shower in honor of Whitney.  It was very thoughtful of everyone.  They brought in soups, sandwiches & all sorts of other yummy food.  Whitney got a lot of really nice gifts.  It was a fun day!

I took Whitney in for her 1 month check up on Thursday.  She was 9 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long.  She is really starting to grow and change a lot.  She is a really good baby and is doing really well at nights.  Most nights she is only up once, usually sometime between 3:00 and 4:00.  She wakes up to eat and then she falls back asleep until about 6:00.  If she keeps that up it will make going back to work a lot easier!!  She is a very happy baby and has really started to smile this week.  Nothing like a smile from a baby to melt a mama's heart!!

You maybe wondering where Whitney is???  She was being passed around
by the ladies at church!  She got a lot of attention that day :-)

Harvest Time

A couple weeks ago I took the 3 girls on our first little road trip.  Kyle was at a rodeo in Billings Montana & it was fall break for Jenae.  We went to Newman Grove so that Whitney could meet her Great Grandmas.  My parents were still harvesting & the girls had fun taking turns riding around with them in the field.  My Dad had bought a ear of caramel corn that Jenae & Aubree had ate.  While driving to the field with my Mom the next day Aubree said "is this the special field Grandma?"  My Mom said "no there is nothing real special about this field"  Aubree said "is it the field that grows the caramel corn ears?"  It is no wonder Aubree wanted to go to the corn field :-)

It was a nice visit.  Danielle & the boys came over on Friday for awhile to give the kids a chance to play.  The weather was so nice they were able to run and play outside a lot.
