Catch up!!!

It seems like it has been awhile since I have blogged!! Thought I better catch up.

At the end of June we were able to take a little vacation to Jackson hole, wy. Chase my dad and gene( father in law) were roping in the World Series roping. We traveled with chases parents. We left Friday afternoon. We didn't do much Friday evening we got the horses settled in then went and checked into our hotel. We stayed at the Virginian. After we got checked in we went and at dinner at bubbas. Saturday morning, Tana, Tara, and I got up and went walking then we came back and got ready then we went and did a little shopping. That afternoon we went back to the arena and watched my dad and chase roped. After the roping was over chase and I went with his parents and did some more shopping, the girls stayed with my parents and went swimming. Madison loves the water! That evening we BBQ hamburgers and just hung out by the trailers. There was another family parked just down from where chases parents parked, they had two little boys that were the same of Madison and Ainsley.. Their oldest boy and Madison had a lot of fun roping the dummy together!! Sunday Chase, My dad, and my father in law Gene roped. No one did any good. After the roping we headed home. Both girls rode with us on the way home and they both slept most of the way! I am so glad we got to go and have a vacation!

This year for the 4th of july, We had plans to go to the Rupert Parade and then come back to my house and have lunch and hang out until the fireworks. That morning I got a call from my mom saying that my grandma had fallen and broken her hip so her and my dad were heading to ER to be with her. She insisted that we still go to the parade and she would keep us up to date on how my grandma was doing.. Tana, Todd, Tara, Chase, the girls and I decided we would go to parade. Madison and Aisnely loved the parade and got a lot of candy! After the parade we came back to the house and the girls went down for a nap, while me and my sisters went over to see my grandma.. She went into surgery around 3.. so we all decided we would go boating to enjoy the warm weather. We went back to my house and had chicken for dinner and then went over to watch the fireworks..

Tana and Todd have two batches of kittens at their house. The girls love them! the first  batch is big enough for the girls to play with them.

We roasted hot dogs awhile back at my parents. It was a lot of fun. The girls had a fun time playing outside. I love being able to spend time with my family and being outside.

We decided it was time to put ainley into a toddler bed. The first night was not a good night.. she screamed, so we had to put her into her playpen and then she  finally went to sleep. The next day I finally got her to sleep in her bed for nap, and after that she has enjoyed it and thinks its so fun to sleep and be a big girl!!

 

 Back in March we celebrated my Grandma's 90th birthday!! She is such an amazing women. I am so lucky to have her in my life and have her as an example! I hope I can be half a woman as she is!

Chase and I went on a date the other night! We went to Oakley to the rodeo and stayed for the fireworks!! so Thankful for chases sister Maribeth for watrhing the girls for us!! I am so grateful for being able to spend time with my husband!!

Last Friday, Tana needed her hair cut so Tara told her she would  cut it for her.. Tara did an amazing job. she might have found her new job!!

This summer the girls have been wanting to play outside a lot.. they have been playing in the little pool a lot and loving it!

 We have been boating this summer a lot.. the girls just love it.. we barely can keep them out of the water!! Madison is even loving the tube now, but once chase starts to go a little faster and she is done!

 Charlie bought some fireworks this year, so one night after work we set them off. Ainsley had already went to bed so she missed out but she is not a big fan of them anyways.. We got Madison to hold one this year and she kind of liked it!

Baby goats!

Maribeth and Casey got two little Pygmy goats!! Madison was able to go with them to get The goats! she thought thag was pretty cool! Madison And Ainsley just love them too!! They are so cute! They have to feed them on a bottle and both girls just love feeding them!! They got one female and one male and named them Mickey and Minnie!

Bullet

My dad had a cow have twins this winter, so he had to put one of them on the bottle! Madison loves it when she can go up and help free bullet the calf!!!

Madison was wanting to make cookies one day, so I figured I would let her nix everything together! She had a really fun time!! And the cookies turned out really good!

Riding horses!

I can't believe how much our girls love to ride horses!! They know when dad comes home and says let's get our boots on they are going to get to go ride!!

For Christmas we got Madison a little saddle!! She has surely loved it this year!! She isnt afraid of anything!!! She has trotting down really good and she has lopped a couple of times! 

We had our first accident with her and the horse the other night. She was going up the alley way to help me bring the steers up and mouse ( the horse she always ride) kind of decided to stop and Madison went off the side.. She cries a little but got right back on!! And took off again!! 

Ainsley is still a little young to be riding by  herself but she does love to ride!! 

The girls!

In the past couple of months I have takin a lot of pictures of the girls!! They have such fun personalities! And they play so well together:) love them both so much!

I do love it when they fall asleep!! 

One night Ainsley went and got chases boots and brought them into the living!! 

I went to get Ainsley up from her nap and this is what she looked like!! 

Now that Ainsley hair has decided to start growing! I can finally start doing their hair alike!!
