A Chore

Max has this new really cute and helpful obsession!  He has to fold all of my rags when they come out of the dryer!  Love That:)

What Are They looking At?

Well, it is premier week!  I hate to admit it, but we will be watching a lot of TV this week.  Last night started it off with "Dancing With the Stars".  Did you watch?

10 Things We Love About Bridger

Here are our top 10 things we love about Bridger!!!

1-When Bridger was 2 months old we realized something was wrong with his eyes.  After visiting Primary Children's Hospital, we found out he has Optic Nerve Hypoplasia.  The doctors were not optimistic he would ever see, but look at him now!  He has had a miracle.  He sees 20/70 out of his left eye, which is more than we ever thought he would. 

2-Bridger is very responsible.  He is a great example to his siblings and we are lucky he came along first because he always does what he knows is right!

3-He loves sports!  He is the biggest football fan, knows all the players/team stats.  He loves to play basketball, soccer, and swim!

4-School comes really easy for Bridger.  He has always excelled, especially in Math and Reading!

5-Bridger loves my dad.  He is like his little shadow whenever they are close.  I am thankful he has such an excellent role model!
6-Bridger loves to drive the 4-wheeler!  He has become a pro and who ever is riding with him hardly ever gets a chance to drive

7-He love to go camping, hunting, and fishing.  He is Randy's little buddy that way(thank goodness I don't have to go as much now!)
8-This summer Bridger has become quite the runner.  He got 3rd place in our Sawtelle race!  He placed 6th in a race last weekend down in Utah!
9-If Bridger had a choice, he would live on a strict diet of Hershey bars, they are his favorite!

10-Bridger started going to work with Randy and loves it, I had to limit it to once a week because I like to have him home!
This has been so fun!  Thanks for the tags!  We have great kids!  We have always known it, now you do too!

If I Was a Swearing Woman!

If I was a swearing woman I would be swearing now!  This **** horse was having a feast in our garden when we woke up this morning.  I have blogged before about my garden being unproductive, but I still had a little hope until this.  Sabra has to guard her garden from the raccoons, I am going to have to guard mine from the neighboring horses... next year:(

Homecoming

Bridger and Bailey got all dressed up in purple and yellow for Spirit Day.  Max and Madden had to join in the fun and go to the parade!  I could never find Bailey's class to get a picture of her, but she looked cute too!

Veggies!

We stopped at Sister Parkinson's house and came home with all of this!  Doesn't it look great!

Riot Zone

Ok, I am still playing blog catch-up, and I am not ignoring my "tags" I am getting to them.  We went to the Riot Zone the Tuesday before we started school for our last big adventure, and that it was.  Notice Max in the go-cart, can he even see where to go?

Civil Defense Caves!

These are from a few weeks ago, I am getting caught up!  We hiked through the caves, but I was too freaked out to take any more pictures than this.  The kids thought it was cool so I tried to be a good sport, why am I such a wimp?
