6 Years of marriage and a Buck....

This past week Clayton and I celebrated our 6th anniversary....it also happened to be the same week that I got drawn to go hunting.

My hunt was in the Gisela/Rye area. on day 2 of the hunt, we snuck up on some bucks to about 100 yards away and waited until he stood up..almost 2 hours!!! He finally moved and I got him...one shot. I really couldn't believe it!!!!

Though this wasn't the most romantic way to celebrate our anniversary, I had so much fun hanging out with my best friend.....

Cute little Devils....

This year for Halloween, we decided to not spend any money and use some of my moms old costumes she made when I was little...It turned out pretty cute...

Putting face paint on this kid was NOT easy..by the time I was done, he had wiped most of it off..

Bria next to her pumpkin that she did (it had to have eyelashes)

Pretty scary devil!!


These two really made Halloween 2009 one of the best yet!!!

A hunting we will go.....

This picture has nothing to do with anything..I just thought it was cute!!

Clayton put me in for hunting again this year....so we are off to my hunt in the morning.... I get to put his camo on (yes we are similar sizes...I am ok with that) and we head off into the dessert. I get to fall asleep under trees while Clayton looks for deer, when he spots one, I will attempt to shoot it..I have yet to hit anything close..but who knows....wish me Luck!!!

Monster Trucks here we come....!!

A few weekends ago, we were able to go to Utah for the weekend and spend some time with the Hayes family... This is the plane ride there...

Wyatt and Grandpa Sonny were able to get us there real fast!!


when we were taking off and the houses were getting smaller, Bria looked and said " look at that village down there!" she also thought that all the trees were gardens..


we went to a monster truck jam......the kids LOVED it...especially when gravedigger came out at the end...

The announcer asked the crowd if they wanted more and Bria turned to her Aunt Natalie and said "I want more!"


we all had to wear ear plugs due to the loud engines...we even got Wyatt to keep them in after a while...he loved all the loud engines....

More Summer Fun....

This summer Clayton's family organized some lake trips...we love going to the lake!

Oreos were a huge favorite of Wyatts

Bria was so awesome surfing with her Dad..

They were able to do it with out the rope...

Our summer so far......

This summer we were able to go to Carlsbad CA with the Hogle side...we pretty much had a blast!!

Clayton thinks Bria has some mad jumping skills when he sees this picture...I am pretty sure its just the angle.!

The kids loved collecting sea shells...

Wyatt relaxing with his Grandpa Sonny...

Clayton informed me months ago that all he will be doing in Cali is surf....he did!

Wyatt LOVED the ocean...if we let him go..he would bolt to the water..

These are the cutest boys ever!!

We hit up Knotts Berry Farm for a day..

Bria loves to get her face painted at these parks..

Wyatt got to go on one of the rides...he felt like one of the big boys for sure!!



Bria wanted to do this ride over and over...this is some of her fun cousins and Aunts too!

This is actually at my house, I decided to plant sunflower seeds this summer..I planted a whole bunch thinking that only one or two would take....wrong!! I have almost 20!!!


I love Arizona sunsets...even in the heat of summer!!

Alpine Arizona

For Memorial Day weekend we were lucky enough to go to one of our favorite places...Alpine. Clayton's Grandparents have a beautiful cabin there. This weekend was especially fun because all it did was rain!!

It did Hail for a while at one point and it started to look like snow!

It was pretty cold the whole time..hot chocolate and smores were a regular meal for us!

We did attempt to go stream fishing..and that was fun for about 30 minutes and then we were all hanging out in the truck while daddy was fishing.....he can never get enough!

It was really nice to get away... hopefully we can make it back there real soon.
