So Far Behind....Will I Ever Catch Up?
So I know I have not posted ANYTHING since August so here is my attempt to try and catch up on everything so I can get a fresh start on things for the New Year to come. There is a little of everything from the past 6 months in this entry so there's not much of a theme. Enjoy!
This was one of the last "summer" like days we had here. My mom and I took the kids to Government Springs and went on a little nature walk.
And of course we could'nt passup the Run to the Pines Car Show. The kids and I have gone every year since we moved back and Mike comes if he does'nt have to work. Its always a lot of fun and maybe one year I will have my own little hot rod in the contest!
The kids always think it is neat to see the cars that are "their size" in the show
One of my cousin's had been married in Las Vegas and they wanted to have a little reception for each of their families at the park in September. It was good to get that much of our family together. Unfortunately that doesnt happen as much as we'd like it to anymore.
My dad and Great Uncle Bobby
My Huge family.... minus a few that i accidentally cut off. Dang it
Both of our kids LOVE to go to football games so we got them some official ELK gear to show their pride.
Tyler wants so badly to be a cheer leader. So everytime we dress her up in black and gold she exclaims " Look!!! I look like the "cheer weeders"!"
Brandon's class got to go to the Pumpkin patch this year before Halloween and do a corn maze and pick their own pumpkins. Mike and Tyler tagged along for the fun!
One of the few pictures we got of Brandon. He was too busy with his classmates!!!!
The class having a picnic in the park afterward.
Tyler loved the fact that she got to play too!
This was the pumpkin we bought at the store but I think it still looked cool with the ghostly pumkin carved into it! Happy Halloween!
Our "Batarina" and Thomas the train
Enjoying all the Halloween loot!
And every year Brandon just continues getting bigger and bigger! 6 years old now can you beleive it?!?
Not the most happy birthday face I've ever seen.
The "tornado" birthday cake. Didn't turn out quite like I had pictured but it was still cute.
Hopefully I will get on the ball for Christmas and get things posted a little faster.

New Milestones!
The month of August was full of milestones for our kids. From losing teeth to promotions it has been one after the other.
Brandon lost his first tooth! He was excited but also sad because he lost the tooth on the bus we think and never found it. So he thought that the tooth fairy was not coming to visit because he did'nt have his tooth in hand. Much to his surprise there was a crisp dollar bill under his pillow the next morning. Thanks Tooth Fairy!
Also Tyler is getting to be such a big girl! Not only is she getting good at potty training she now sleeps in a big girl bed! She thankfully took right to it and has been doing so well!
AND.... in our church, once you turn five, you get promoted to the next step up in Sunday school. Brandon thought it was kind of neat during the ceremony but sadly he does not like his new group. They do a lot of dancing and energetic activities and he says it is too loud to enjoy. I have had a taste of the noise level and I kind of agree with Brandon. Hopefully others will take notice and make it more enjoyable for those that are a little more laid back and what not.
Ahh yes.... yet another happy "first day of school" picture. For some reason, preschool and Kindergarten have not produced "smiley" pictures. Brandon LOVES school and does so well but you would never know that from the pictures. Haha. 
Although it was the first day and most parents pick-up their Kindergartners, Brandon was ecstatic at the idea of finally getting to ride the bus. He absolutely loved it so he rides everyday and has only been picked up once this year! What a big boy!!!
Yay!! He made it through the first day and was all smiles at the end!!!

Happy 4TH of July!
The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays! We always go to the parade and watch fireworks as part of our festivities. 
Pouting because I wanted a picture
All geared up and waiting for the parade.
Here come the Sherrif's Posse and rodeo royalty
The rodeo queens and others
Amy's cousin Kaden. His dad was on the other horse and the firetruck sirens were spooking it pretty bad.
Our local veterans
There were lots of mini horses throughout the parade.
Another cousin, Justina, on another float.
Candy!!!!!!
Cheering along with the cheerleaders coming our way.
Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty
The Ghost wagons
Smoky the Bear. Goompa took Ty out for a closer look.
The AWESOME Statue of Liberty. It was called "United We Stand; Divided We Fall" and it would actually fold down and then rise back up. It was one of the coolest floats of the day. Notice the size of it compared to the man walking beside it.
A pioneer wagon
The tractors
And all the neat Classis cars
Coyote Creek FD
Vernon FD
Springerville FD
Eagar FD
Here comes the parade!
Waiting before the parade
The sirens made her a little jumpy
my dad (aka: Goompa)
The pretty fireworks at the end of the day
the 3D boxes were one of the kids favorites along with the smiley faces
Waiting for the fireworks
where we were for the fireworks there is a lifesize statue of a horse and antique buggy. Tyler thought it was neat so we got a picture of her on the "horsie"

Isn't her new "do" pretty?
LOOK!!!
Stuffing her shirt with the confetti. A sign of things to come?
Woo Hoo!
