Clark Coutny Fair Fun!

 There's nothing better than getting in your western gear and heading out to the Clark County Fair and Rodeo in Logandale! We take out our trailer and camp the whole weekend! It's been our tradition for years now and every year its just so much fun! One of our most favorite memories together!

 Little Penny pie! not so little! Getting to big!! Seriously the best personality! She brings so much fun, excitement, sass and laughter to our family! She is such a sweet heart too! We can't believe she will be 8 this July!

 Mr. Cash man! This guy...so sweet and sensitive but oh so rough and tough all at the same time! He has such a great personality too! Still my little tease but always tells me he loves me! Especially the times when i need to really hear it! He's loves his sisters and everything they do! He's so proud to be their brother!He will be 5 this August! Can't believe it!

 Sweetest baby girl Piper Rae! Getting sassy the older she gets! lol She a sensitive sole too! lol! You tell her no no and she puts out her sad quiver face! lol She's a busy bee always quietly into something! When she's nasty...she's nasty! but most of the time she's my sweet one! Baby Piper will be 18mons in July!

 The fair is not complete without the carnival rides and face painting! We had a blast riding the rides and shutting the place down after the rodeo! lol! So much FUN!!!

 The highlight of our Saturday was Cash mutton buston! My family and Chad's family came out to watch him ride! This was his first time doing it! We have watched my nephews do it each year and now he was finally old enough to do it himself! I was definitely more nervous than him!

 

These are the pics from Cash mutton buston! He did so good for his 1st time! I was a nervous wreck! He loved it! He wanted to get right back on thinking it was a carnival ride! He said the sheep was stinky but had so much fun riding! I didn't think he would want to do it again!! He said he wants to win the big Golden belt buckle next year! lol! This year he Won $20! We were a hooting and a hollering in the crowd! Cheering on our big boy! Love him so much! This boy has no fear!

 

Both nights we enjoyed the Rodeo! The weather was perfect and had the best seats! Piper was a little to busy trying to go up and down bleachers so i took her back to the trailer early each night! I tell ya she's at a busy age! Next year will be even better! She will be that much older! We had such a wonderful weekend! Can't wait till next year!!

The other pic in this collage is of my kids getting their surprised from the Leprechaun! Happy St. Patrick's day and Happy Birthday Fenix and daddy! What a wonderful day it was!

Cash's BMX Riding!

 

So i have been trying to figure something fun for Cash to do that doesn't require Saturday games! lol We are always going to Penny's singing practises and performances and he keeps asking when is it "my turn for you to watch me!" Well we have found his thing! lol I saw someone on  fb post their son  riding at this track and i had to figure out where it was and what it was! So i asked around and with some friends help we found the track and signed him up! The top collage is from the first time he ever went to the track! He has never done anything like this but rides his bike so good! At only 4yrs old the people at the rack were impressed! They said he was a natural racer! Needless to  say we were all so proud of him! I thought he would have been scared after seeing the track... nope not my fearless boy! He took  right off down the first slope and up and over the first hump! He was loving it! We all loved watching him too! As we were leaving Penny's shoelace got wrapped around her peddle and off she went flipping her bike and landing rt down on her elbow! Well you know me and elbows lol I'm still recovering from both mine being broken we took her in to the ER. Good news nothing was broken! It was swollen and a few stress fractures. Dr. said you can get those just from impact but keep her in sling and just watch her! She wore the sling to school  everyday and healed pretty dang quick!

  

This collage is from his 1st race! Yes he couldn't wait to race and get a trophy! lol! We prepared him that he wasn't going to get a trophy being that it was his first race ever and 2nd time on the track! lol! But he didn't care he was racing and couldn't wait! All the 4yr olds were in the strider race. Those are the kids that don't know how to ride with out training wheels so they put Cash with the 5-7yr olds. He was the youngest and smallest one out there and riding with just a regular bike! We found out talking to lots of people there that they have riding bikes for his size! so expensive but if we're doing this he needs a good fast bike to keep up! lol! He totally finished dead last but the crowd went wild and cheered him on as he came thru the finish line! He was winner! A 1st time rider Winner! He qualified and made it thru all 3 races! They came over and awarded him his Trophy! He was over the moon! We were all so excited for him! That's all he wanted was to race hard and win a trophy! lol! We just love our  little cool bmx racer! We can't wait until his next race! New bike first though! lol So Proud of my boy!

Park Fun!

My Baby!

Each month I collage candid pictures! My baby just hit 12mons! Yes that's 1yrs old!!! AWWWWW so sad! My baby!! Seriously why does time have to go so fast!! I can't believe a year has come and gone so fast! So these are the candid pics of my sweetest baby Piper from the month of December! She hasn't taken the walking steps on her own but boy is she getting fast crawling, pulling her self up, and walking around furniture! We have gotten her to stand by herself in the middle of the room nut it doesn't last very long! She is the sweetest baby girl ever! Still barley makes an awnry grumpy peep! She sure doesn't complain! Still mild mannered! She loves real food! no baby food what so ever! lol! She is still on her special  formula but we will be transitioning to real dairy in the next couple weeks to see if she can tolerate it! She just cut her 2 upper front teeth! it's a race to see who gets their 2 front teeth all the way in... Penny or Piper?! lol Penny has checked like everyday to see who's has grown in more! Her's or Piper's! So funny! Even Cash gets a kick out of this! Love these kids of mine! So dang precious!  She is currently in the "obsessed with mommy stage" like seriously follows me around the house everywhere and wants to be held by me only! and I'm not stopping it! I'm taking in all the snuggles and not getting my work done around the house to hold, carry and just love on her! She's momma's girl for sure! I thinks its because I couldn't hold her for such a long time with my broken elbows that this last month i have been able to hold her and she realizes it ans doesn't want me out of her sight! Trust me it's the best feeling and  I'm soaking it in!!! She's the best thing in our life! We Love you baby girl! What will next year bring???!!!

Family pics from the Professional!

 

The family pics arrived from the professional!lol Thanks Brittany for your beautiful work! You captured great ones! and Thank you, Thank you DeeDee for getting us all together and making it possible! Best present ever! Pictures are a lasting memory! Love you!

 

Be still my Heart! I love these faces with all my being! They make we crazy! but i'm also totally crazy in love with them! They are my whole world! wouldn't change anything! I love being their crazy mommy! lol

 

SISTERS!!! My biggest joy! My whole life i always wanted to have sisters! I go back to this often and many have heard me say this... I lost my mom to cancer at a very young age and thankfully i had sisters to call and lean on through out this crazy life we all live in! so with going thru this tragic life experience I always wanted to have my own girls to be sisters and have each other if I were to ever leave them like how my mom did! Now don't get me wrong... Brothers are amazing too and having my son is so wonderful but there's nothing like a blood sister bond and I myself have especially needed and grateful for both my sisters and the bond we have! Seeing these pics makes my heart so happy on so many levels! Dressing them like twins is my all time fave too! My mom did this with me and lil Eryka! lol

I'm truly blessed to be apart of Chad's wonderful family! Just look at these beautiful humans! Thanks again DeeDee and Fadi for making this happen! Perfect pics! I think they turned out great!
