Fishing

Well we went fishing at Weston Idaho. It was Ryan, Kelton, Derek (a guy from Ryan's work) and me. It was Kelton's first time float tube fishing. He had a ball. Between all four of us we caught 97 Perch and 1 large mouth bass. Kelton caught 2 Bass the first one was 14 1/2 inches, and the second was 12 1/2 inches. He had to throw them back, because we could only keep the ones that were under 12 inches and over 16 inches. The reason is they are the spawning fish. We had a lot of fun.

Good memories

Just bringing back the good old days. When Ryan & I were both running the barrels. This picture was taken Caliente NV. It was one of the funniest barrel races we have been to. Just some good memories. Ryan was riding Fancy, and I was riding Sly.

Salina Results

Well the kids are back home. Bailey did really well on Saturday. She ended up winning some money which is a good thing. Now she can pay for the next barrel race in August. Bailey won 4th in the 3D, and in the 18/40 she won the 3D. I am so proud of her. My mom was just out of the money on Saturday, and she hit a barrel on Sunday. Kelton on the other hand went around Salina and found Crystals. He told me he didn't find to many. They went swimming everyday they were down there. It sounded like they had a blast. Well just one more race down there this summer. Then were done going to Salina for this year till next year comes around. The picture I added is a picture of Bailey on the Grey horse, on the Bay is my mom.

Bailey & Kelton headed for Salina

Well Bailey & Kelton are headed to Salina Utah. Bailey and my Mom are going to Salina for a barrel race. Kelton is going along for the ride, and to take care of Grandpa. Ryan & I are left at home to take care of things. Oh well I hope they all have fun down there. I want to wish my mom a happy birthday her birthday is on the Saturday July 11th. Well I will keep you updated on how they do down in Salina.

Enjoying The Summer

Well finally no rain. I can't believe it. We were outside all day long today. The kids and Ryan were playing frisbee, & tossing the football. We hung up a hummingbird feeder today. I can't believe how many hummingbirds we had today. I was lucky to catch one picture of one of the little birds. They are so tiny. Our horses are in heaven they are turned out behind our house eating the grass. They have had to learn the hard way about the electric fence that is around the pasture. Mystery has been zapped a couple times were sis is now avoiding the fence all together. She figured out it hurts when you touch it.

NBHA Western Nationals

Well another year at Western Nationals. Its fun but it makes it a long weekend. I thought Bailey did wonderful. She had a little trouble on her first run, she hit the second but I told her to forget about it go to the next race. So she came out on her youth run and did very well. Her and Celiene came out and ran a 14.758. She ended up winning 5th place in the 1D in the youth. My mom ran the barrels also but just like Bailey she hit a barrel. Oh well there is always tommorrow. They just need to forget about their runs in the open today and go out and run a good run tommorrow. I will keep you updated. I have to thank the Moyes family for coming over and watching my Mom and Bailey run the barrels they are the sweetest people.

YES I HAVE THE INTERNET

It's been along time since I have had the internet. Well here is just a little update. We are all still alive up here in Idaho. Bailey & Kelton are playing baseball this summer they are having so much fun. Their team is undefeated so far. Ryan is playing on a softball league over in Pocatello for Petersen's, he's having tons of fun also. As for me I just can't wait for it to stop raining up here so I can go riding my horse.

Ice Fishing

Well we went ice fishing the first time ever in our whole entire lives. It was different than regular fishing. Those stinkin little fish are quick. You really have to pay attention to your bobber otherwise they will just eat your bait and take off without getting caught. We didn't catcher any keepers but we had fun trying to. Ryan caught a couple little perch and Bailey was the only one to catch a blue gill. I've heard they are the hardest to catch they are the bait stealers. I caught one perch, poor Kelton didn't catch anything but he had tons of little bites. But never could catch the little stinkers, they were to quick. But overall we had fun, we will hopefully do it again this year.

Skiing

We went skiing on the 20th of Febuary. It was the experience that I will never forget. It was fun.

WE CAN OFFICALLY HUNT

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! QUIT WERE TAKING A VERY IMPORTANT TEST!!!!
Well they had field day today for hunter education today. They both passed their written test. Today they had to do the field day. They had to shoot at a target, and then go on a walk and show the instructor that they knew how to handle a gun. We are so proud of both of them. We are so pumped now we can take the kids and go hunting. It was kind of miserable out at the range. It snowed and it was really foggy, and cold. It was the only Saturday that it had snowed in a couple of weeks. I felt bad for all the kids. But they were all little troopers.

Bailey is taking aim and shooting at the range for her test.






Kelton is also taking aim for his test.

Learning To Ski

Bailey & Kelton went skiing the other day with their school. Neither one of them knows how to ski but they taught them how to. The bad thing is that Bailey and Kelton has fallen in love with skiing. I should rephrase this Bailey is learning how to ski. Kelton on the other hand is learning how to snowboard. Now they keep bugging Ryan and I to take them up to Pebble Creek and go skiing and snowboarding.

BASKETBALL

The kids are playing Basketball this year. They never had played basketball before, and I think they are doing an awesome job for never playing before. Today they had their first game. It has been a long day, but is was well worth it. Bailey's game was at 9 this morning and Kelton's was at 12 this afternoon in Arimo. They both won their games today is was awesome to watch they both worked really hard at it.
