Come to visit

Stud Muffin! Christian has come to spend a couple of weeks with Bud and I. He is going to meet his mother up at Fort Bridger Wyoming at our next show. He is such a great kid. He loves to tell stories and be the center of the program just like any other 7 year old. He is a handful and he keeps us busy but I would not change having him here for anything. Yesterday he had his baby brother call him. It was the saddest thing I have ever heard. Toryen love's his older brother lots. I am so looking forward to having them up at the show with us. Natalie, Joel and there children are coming as well. I sure love being a grandma. Yes Jamie this is how I let Christian dress when he is here. He is having a blast.

Christian's Stay

We have been blessed to have Christian come and stay with us for two weeks. When he is here he gets to dress himself and play around the yard with out much worry. He is able to ride the 4 Wheeler around the yard and he thinks he is pretty cool he dose it by himself. We are having a good time having him here. I wanted to post this photo because his Mother Jamie will have a fit about how he is dressed. To make it worse, I took him to St. George dressed like this, well he did have a t-shirt on. Good fun heh Jay!

In our yard is an old Cotton wood tree. I remember it all the time I was growing up. We had forts in it and hid in its branches. Rope swings and tire swings were a common site to see until the ropes would rot and break. The tree is now old and we are going to have to have it removed. It is like cutting down a bit of my past. It breaks my heart to think of not looking out the window or being out in the yard and not seeing it there. Like all things though time moves on. But I will always have the memories. I only wish my kids and grandkids could have had some of the same ones.

We will be there for a week then we are headed over to Bud's old stomping grounds and were going to stay there for a week or two. Then were headed to Jed and Annie's to stay with them for a bit. I usually hate going on the road but this time is different we have our new trailer and we are able to carry our 4 wheelers with us. So OH HAPPY DAY'S. Hey Josh you got to love this one.
