News Update

Yes it's true. . . David was seen on channel five and fox 13 news last night. Cedar Hill's water tank had an equipment malfunction and it did not quit pumping water like it should have. A few yards got water and debri on it. Not really a big deal. But, Saturday night we got a call from "911" emergency . . . evidently channel 4 thought they needed an interview with David that night. David was NOT happy that they used emergency dispatch to get to him. They were not granted an interview.

For some odd reason David doesn't like being on prime time TV. Darn it. Because the kids and I get a big kick out of it. My parents recorded him so we'll be able to watch his 2 minutes to fame over and over. . hee hee.

My Kids

I took my kids on a photoshoot for my sister the other night. I wasn't really taking their pictures much but I got a couple that I liked and thought I would share.

A few things we've been up to. . . . .

We went to a horse show tonight and watched Zach's (David's horse partner) horse perform. She took second and won $1,200.00 tonight. She was a really nice filly.

David wants me to think about photographing horse competitions so I did my best. I don't have the right equipment though. I love my wide angle lens but I need a zoom lens for this. I'm trying to talk David into buying it for me (since it would benefit him horse wise). But, it is a $1,800 lens so I think it may have to wait. But, the world show is coming in December and I'm sure David would love to get some cool action pictures of our stallion Buck's N Moore performing. So, we'll see. . .

This is how I found Jennica after school today. She fell asleep on the couch. I just thought it was funny that it was on the arm. She's a cute little pickle.

Braxton and Jennica have been so funny lately. They have been asking me the most silliest questions. "Mom whats under your skin?" I'll say, "blood and bones". "Well, whats in blood?", I'll say, "water, salt, and nutrients". "Well, whats in water, salt, and nutrients?", I'll say good things that keep your skin and bones alive and healthy." "Well, whats in bones?", I'll say "hard things to hold your skin and blood up," I know I get really technical. "Ohhhhhhh, I never knew that. By this point I'm hoping that we can move on - sometimes we do and other times I may spend fifteen minutes trying to think whats inside things. So far I've had to explain whats inside milk, water, skin, bones, blood, eyeballs, noses, and stomachs.

Family Reunion

My family had the best time this weekend at a cabin up fairview canyon. There was fishing, four wheeling, but best of all good company. We spent Saturday with my Dad's brother and sister and their kids and their kids. I think there was about 70 people in the cabin and there was plenty of room. It was so much fun. It's been way to long since we have gotten together like that. I remember how much I enjoyed playing with my cousins when we got together as kids. Now our kids can have as much fun as we did.

We will definately do this more often.

I will post some of the pictures I took. But, most people thought I was pretty annoying walking around with my camera - so I tried not to take too many.

Braxton coloring with his cousin Corbin.

My lovely sister Corianne who wore her hair curly for once. She has beautiful natural curls and she hates it.

My cousin Brenda and Darin.

The little kids had so much fun in their gang. Have to say the most of the little kids were Taylor cousins.

Had to sneak a picture of Jennica. She never lets me if she knows.

Katie, Brian Harris, my cousins daughter. She's a total athlete and so fun.

Some of the teenagers. What a cool picture if they would have moved away from the car. But, the guys didn't want to stop their game to take this one so I was lucky to get it.
