Christmas in Wyoming

We went to Wyoming on the 23rd this year and spent the night.  It's always so fun to see the deer right out on the driveway!  My mother-in-law grains them so they are always hanging around waiting to eat.

Christmas is hard work...she was asleep before we hit the paved road...

Santa Pic 2010

We went to see the lights at Willard Bay again this year and Kesli really wanted to see Santa Claus.  Unfortunately, he had a heart attack earlier that day...so sad!!  They had a back-up Santa who was on his way for about an hour and a half.  Those reindeer were sure slow that night!  Finally Santa arrived and we were first in line.  This pic looks surprisingly similar to our Santa 2009 pic...  Oh well, maybe next year right?

For Grandpa Stew!

Colton, Cody and Kesli are downstairs watching the Jazz game tonight.  She is begging them to play poker, they finally give in and tell her she needs some money and ask her if she has a money bag.  To which she promptly replies, "Nope, I have a Money Pig though!"  I love being her Mom and I chuckled at the statement, knowing Grandpa would be chuckling too.  He and Grandma weren't able to meet her on earth, but I know they loved and cuddled her before they sent her down.  Grandpa, Jess and I always had a "thing" with pigs.  He taught us how to draw them, and his money was the first to hit Kesli's Money Pig.  I don't think I'll be able to call it a Piggy Bank anymore:)  I love that girl, she's growing up so fast.  And I love and miss my grandparents more than ever this time of year!

Kesli Cakes

I took Kesli to the barrel race this year for the Costume Contest.  She rode Mr. Dee and while they were making their rounds, everyone started clapping.  Mr. Dee spooked a little and my heart dropped!  He is not a small pony, he's huge!  But Kesli just held right on to the horn and told Jess "I'm ready to run barrels now!"  It didn't even scare her a bit, thank goodness!!! I think Mr. Dee hated the "sprinkles" we sprayed on him.

Here she is with her new boots on and the BEST I could talk out of her for a smile...

            I can't believe how fast time is flying!  The holidays are upon us and I am so excited:)

Halloween Party

We went to Nikki and Alika's annual Halloween Party and Jack Sparrow just happened to be there...Lucky Us!!!
