One Proud Mama... and Foxy Roxy

I have to say it has been a week of firsts and the week has just begun. Yesterday Connor had his first Primary Program. He did so great. He was the only sunbeam who didn't need help with his part. They were all so cute though. Each of them got up there and said "My name is..., I'm a Child of God and He Loves Me." Connor had practiced so much and was so excited to say his part. He didn't really know many of the songs, but when they sang "When Jesus Christ was Baptized" he jumped right up and sang with all his might. When he didn't know the songs he would curl his tongue or try to walk around or talk, he isn't the most reverent kid, but he sure loves primary.

After church we went out to the farm and got a dog. Don't ask me what kind because I have no idea how to pronounce or spell it. It is a bird hunting dog (of course) and we named her Roxy. This is Kadee's first dog... and she hates it. We had 2 dogs when Connor was little so he loves the puppy, but Kadee isn't used to dogs and is terrified. She seriously SCREAMS whenever the puppy comes near her. I'm hoping she lightens up a bit since we are planning on having this dog for the next 15 years.


Finally, the most exciting news of the week... Connor learned how to ride his bike with no training wheels. Rory took the training wheels off his little bike and within about 10 minutes Connor had it figured out. He rides all over the place and loves his helmet. I can't believe how big my babies are getting. Time flies when you are having fun. It is so nice to have a house and some land for the kids to run around on... now if I can get Rory going on the backyard.

Wyoming here we come!

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but we have been super busy. We got moved into the house and then took a family trip to Wyoming to hunt antelope. The drive was a nightmare. My kids had to stop about a million times to go to the bathroom, but we finally arrived in Saratoga. We went to dinner and stayed at a historical hotel. Kyle and Candee weren't too impressed, but we loved it. It was very old fashioned and quaint. We then went to the hot pots and swam, it was really hot!

The next day we headed to Laramie and spent the remainder of our trip there. The kids went swimming every day and we had to practically drag them out of the pool to go do other things. Antelope hunting was really cold, but Rory shot a really nice buck. We also went to a historic jail in Laramie and tried some of the local diners. It was fun but very exausting. I'm so glad to be home!
