Watching the Eclipse

 I'm surprised we actually remembered to go out and watch the Eclipse, but glad we did, it was pretty neat to see!
The welding helmet worked great! 

Grandma & Grandpa Came Up for the Birthday Boy

 Branson pretty much had a full week of Birthday celebrations.  Grandma & Grandpa weren't able to come up on his actual birthday, so they came up a couple days early.
Grandpa got Branson a surprise birthday present......
CORN DOGS, Branson and Grandpa LOVE corn dogs.

 And Grandma surprised Branson with some piano books and some new Summer clothes.
 Now, Wobby needs to get on the ball and start teaching Branson how to play, he has wanted to learn for so long!
Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for coming to spoil the Birthday Boy!

School Birthday Celebration

 Branson got to celebrate his birthday with his class a week early, only because on his actual birthday they were going to be gone on a field trip, and his teacher, Mrs. Hansen wanted him to enjoy all of the special things that birthday kids get to do on their special day.  He chose to take in his favorite snack, ice cream sandwiches.
 Brans got a special birthday pencil and got to wear his birthday crown all day long.

Playing around on a Sunday Afternoon

Ash & Brans love to pull out all of their farm toys and set up Ranch Living.

 And they even set up an arena, so they can be rodeo cowboys.

Mother's Day

 Mother's Day was great this year, low key, and very relaxing.  I even got myself a good nap in!  Brian spoiled me with my most favorite dinner and dessert.  Love you Brian!!
 I feel so blessed that these 2 little guys chose me to be their WOBBY.  And I am so excited to become a Wobby again to a precious baby girl real soon!
LOVE MY FAMILY!!

What Our Weekends Consist Of.....

 ROPING

Goodbye Missy

 Horses come and go around here every now and then.  And it was time to say goodbye to one of Branson's favorite horses, MISSY.  Branson was sad to say goodbye, but excited to take over Copenhagen as his very own.

Thursday Night Roping

Our neighbor and good friend puts on ropings every Thursday night in our little town, if Brian had his way he would be there every Thursday night....but the money doesn't grow on trees around here.  This was the first time he had gone over and roped.....and guess what....he WON!
 We were very excited!
But the most exciting thing about this night is meeting a champion steer wrestler, who in fact is from Malad, OLIN HANNUM.  The boys decided they needed this cowboy's signature, so they had him sign their hats.  Olin was a good sport and took the time to make my boys feel special.  SUCH A GOOD GUY!!

New Look

This is a brand new look for these boys.  We have never bought shorts or tennis shoes....ever....!
They finally decided it was time to wear shorts and stay cooler in the summer heat.  And they had to pick out the coolest shoes to go along with their new look.

JOSSEY

Look at this cute Jossey girl trying out Brian's hat.
What a sweet girl!

WOBBY

Branson snapped this pic of Wobby driving down the freeway.

Playing Outside

Best question a Wobby could get asked:
BRANSON:  'Wobby....will you help me find a girl to marry when I'm older'
WOBBY:  'OF COURSE!'

Barrow's Came To Play

We had The Barrow's up for a day of fun.  Sadly, Stacey was out of town, but we still had lots of fun with her boys.
Lots of playing and roping were done this day!
