Russ

 On November 16th I took Russ to the doctor in Salt Lake to see if something was going on.  They ended up putting him in the hospital.  They had to get fluid off of him.  They ended up taking off 30 pounds of fluid. The girls came down on Monday the 19th because Russ ended up having to have a pacemaker put it.  He has congestive heart failure and needs the pacemaker to keep feeling better. 

This is Hadley and Xander with grandpa

Jalen traded his old wheels...a bronco for this ne set of wheels.  It is a Ford Escort. Good job Jalen.  Need good wheels when you start that college   stuff.  Love you lots.

Hadley and her Guitar

 Hadley has just started taking lessons.  She even has to learn how to sit right and how to hold it right. Im sure she is going to go a long ways.  Love you bunches.

Sadie Hawkins Dance

Kalee and Jalen  went on another date. This is the Sadie Hawkins dance.  I do think they had a good time.  Cute couple.

Another Guitar Player

We now have another guitar player in the family.  Hadley has started guitar lessons in Laramie.  She is way excited.  Someday her and Clayton and Tristen can play at family functions.  Good job everyone.

Handsome guy

Tristen and Clayton went to a concert with Roberta.  This picture was taken by the Kemmerer Gazette. Roberta posted it on facebook and it has gone crazy with everyone commenting on this handsome young cowboy.  Great picture. Too bad they didnt move forward a bit and grab the rest of Clayton.  Clayton is just as wonderful.  I love my family so much. 

Xander turns 3

Xander turned 3 on October 13th.  We got to go spend the day with him and the family.  What a fun family.  That is also Mya in the picture.

Hadley's birthday

 We went to Laramie for Hadleys birthday.  She is turning 11 years old.  Growing up so fast.

 Bought her some funky slippers that when she walks the ears go up and down. 

REALLY  yes she is 11 and very goofy.  Keep up the good work Hadley.  We love you lots and glad we made it down to see you for your birthday.

Sunrise in Laramie

Heather was on her way into work and took this picture.  With all the smoke that has been around this looks like some scratched across the sky.  Very cool

Jalen

Gone from a boy to a man. Jalen is now a Senior in High school.  Ok..where did that little boy go that had the blonde hair and ran around everywhere and cried when he left our house.  Oh yeah....he grew up to be a very handsome young man.  A good kid also.  Love you Jalen

Grandma visit

 On Tuesday Jamie and Xander and Russ and I went to see mom.  This is Xander with grandma great.

 Donnie showed up and was showing of his  great  abs...Xander thought it was funny.

 Grandma enjoyed having Xander there.  I feel bad that we didnt get her sitting straight.  She is hard to manuever.  She doesnt have alot of strength any more.

Love you mom.  Glad we coould come and visit. At this point she is not eating well or drinking well.  She is sick to her stomach all the time.  Gags after trying to eat. Makes me sad

Finley Runners

Kimberly and Bryson and Jalen ran a 5K in Payson for their Labor Day Celebration.  Bryson came in 22nd in his group and Kimberly came in 8th in her age group and Jalen kicked but and came in 3rd place with a metal for his group.  Wya to go runners.  Wish I could run like my kids.  Very proud of them.

Junior

Heather and Chad and Haldey have had Junior for 17 years.  He has been very healthy.  Yesterday was the first time he has ever had to have anything done.  He had to have 3 teeth pulled and a growth on his ear was taken care of.  Not to bad for a 17 year old dog.  He has also had a stroke and kept on plugging along and playing ball.  The stroke was like a year or so ago.  This is him after the teeth pulling and ear fixing.  He just wanted to sleep.  Man when  he sleeps...he really sleeps.  Chad has come home from work  and literally drug him from behind the couch with his feet and around the living room and then finally he wakes up.  Good dog. 

Pig wrestling 2012

 Hadley (right) and the Pink Ladies getting ready and waiting for their pig wrestling to start.  They had fun last year so they wanted to do it again. It is held at the Fair grounds in Laramie.

 They really get in to action and excitement of the contest.

 Love the shirt.  The girls made their shirts.  Good job girls

ALL DONE. We had a blast.  They did a great job and really didnt eat to much mud.  Same time and place next year????
