Introducing the 2008 Jr. Buckaroo Princess

So Mady competed in her first Queen Contest. (Something that Jasin swore his daughters would never do.) But it turns out she has quite a knack for it. She worked very hard and it paid off. It was a fun day. But we were told several times that now the real work begins. Our summer is going to be very busy. She has to be in 4 parades and even more Rodeos. ( It will be interesting since Jasin just sold his truck.) I'm sure it will all work out.

Mud

Yes I know it's called a "mud" room,
but I am so tired of cleaning up so much mud!

I'm hoping that this is finally going to be the
summer that I might get some grass
and cut down on the mud. We'll see.

Spring Happenings

One of the exciting things at our house this spring was
Mason turning 8, and choosing to be baptized.

It was a great day, and he was lucky enough to share
the day with 2 of his good friends who were also baptized

Hair cut #3

So Treyson, who is my hairiest child
is getting ready for his third hair cut.

He likes to suck the water out of the squirt bottle.

Yes I know it's gross but it helps to keep
his head still for a second or two longer

Dance, Dance, and More Dance!

Pretty much everything Mady does, and talks about, has to do with dance these days. She loves it, and want's to be just like her instructors. She has a lot of fun.

Pinewood Derby 2008

So Mason and Jasin competed in their very first Pinewood Derby. They worked hard on thier car, and Grandma Jennie help with the awsome flame paintjob. At the end of the night Mason ended up in 3rd Place. Wow! Jasin also has decided that he is going to take back all the times that he said he was never going to make Mason go to scouts.(Jasin earned his Eagle Scout when he was 14 so he sould stop going.) He now admits that the scouting program is a good thing for boys to do.(And no it's not because they took 3rd in the derby)

Little League Wrestling

So Mason attended his first wrestling tournament. It was unlike anything I have ever seen. There were about 150 little boys (and a few girls) ages 4 to maybe 12 or 13 running around in singlets mauling each other like puppies to "warm up". I wish I would have taken a picture, because my description of the mass chaos doesn't give it justice. I think Mason was terrified to brave the warm up session because he didn't leave my side. After a lot of coaxing and a few tears Mason won his first two matches, but lost his last match in the championship round to a little guy fron Green River. We thought he did great. But he said he's never wrestling again. So I guess we'll see.
