Happy 4th of July

This year for the 4th of July we headed out to Ruby Valley, Nevada for my moms family reunion. Since Hadley's not hitting the rodeo trail hard this year we were finally able to go, we haven't been for a couple of years. It so beautiful out there they all have ranches and since they cant ever leave, we go out there. We always have a big softball game, sometimes we go help move cattle and brand the new calves. This year Hadley and Preslie went and help my moms cousin Paul brand. Preslie thought that was fun. They have a huge problem with squirrels this year. They are everywhere and they are ruining their alfalfa fields so instead of shooting rabbits we spent the days doing a service project and took care of some of the squirrels.

My Aunt Beryls ranch has a swimming pool so in the afternoon we would go down to the pool and swim, which the kids loved. It was so fun to see all of my cousins; they have kids around the same ages as Preslie and Colter and they played and played. We loved sitting around the campfire telling stories and laughing until we cried! We love it so much out there that we never want to come home, I could live out there I love the country life, maybe one day!

Thanks to the entire Neff family for letting us invade and we hope to see you soon!

PS..My camera died after the first day, so that is why there are only pics of swimming...

Happy Birthday Colter!!

Colter turned 1 on June 29th. i cant believe how fast the time has gone he is such a joy in our lives. We had his party with the family's the day before and went to the park and had dinner and cake. Colter loves food and especially sweets so I thought that he would love his piece of cake and would go crazy with, but he did'nt, he had a few bites and was off to play with his toys. Thanks to all of our families for coming we appreciate your love and support! :)

Horse Show....

Preslie had her first horse show a couple weeks ago in South Jordan. Our friends our in a riding club and they were putting on a kids show so we thought we would let Preslie ride. She was so excited all she talked about was running barrels. she competed in three events; barrels, poles, and flag race. She did so good in all three, although she wasnt fast enough to win anything she had fun and it was a great experience for her. It made us so excited for her to start doing it more often. We are so proud of her and hope she continues to want to be involved with horses! Good job love bug!!

RoDEo!

Rodeo season has began....and the kids are loving it! A couple weeks ago Hadley and his brothers Bradyn and Shayne were up at Morgan and Herriman. This last weekend they were all up at Hyrum and Riverton. Hadley took 1st at Hyrum and his brother Bradyn took second. Then at Riverton Hadleys brother Shayne took 1st and Hadley took fourth. Hadley isnt hitting the rodeo trail as hard this year which is kind of nice, we get to go camping more! We love going to the rodeos and dont know what we would do all summer long if Hadley didnt. The kids have so much fun with all of thier cousins and horses! Preslie is doing so good on the horses, she reins good and loves it, she always wants to ride!
