Disney's Princess on Ice

This year we had been watching for the Disney on ice to come to take Preslie. When we saw it was the Princess's on Ice she was super excited so my mom thought it would be fun if all us girls went, and bought us tickets to go. My sister's Tiffany and Whitney came, Jensyn, Preslie, my mom and Grandma Great (Grandma Nedra). We had a blast and the girls were in heaven. Thanks mom for a wonderful night, Preslie wont quit talking about it, and keeps telling me that when they come again we HAVE to go..

Halloween...

~A day at the ZOO~

During my fall break so we decided to surprise the kids on Sunday and drove up to the zoo! Preslie was so cute, she tried guessing where we were going to spend our "Family day" together the whole drive up there; and as soon as we got there she guessed it, before she saw any signs. It was the perfect day, all the babies were out and the weather was just right!

~~Summer has COME and GONE~~

It has been SO long since I have blogged I had to double and triple check what my last post was about...PATHETIC! I really wanted to try and post at least once a weak, but where do you find the time? I need a lot more of it.

Summer recap. Preslie turned 4 in July (what a bad mom for not posting about it), Rodeo's, camping and school. Since Hadley didn't rodeo as much we were able to go on a few more camping trips, which the kids loved! We went to the Ranch, Lava for the Fullmer reunion, Fish Lake for the Larsen reunion and a couple more!

Hadley did a few of the RMPRA rodeos and was able to win enough money that he along with his brothers and cousins made the finals which will be in Heber on Nov 13th and 14th. My dad took him to Canada for a hunting trip...that's all he has talked about for a year. It was so funny...he was so excited he woke up at 12 midnight threw on all of his clothes kissed me goodbye and went into the kitchen to get his coffee and saw the time and was so mad, he couldn't sleep the rest of the night! They went with my Grandpa Fullmer, Uncles Kade and Brad, and then a few friends. They ate GREAT and killed A LOT of birds... :) The weekend he came home it was opening season here and goes at least twice a week.

My summer was spent doing school. I think that is the story of my life. I am currently up at the University of Utah full time doing my bachelors in Biology and doing pre-reqs for dental school. I have decided to work 4 hrs a week at the dental office which is great to keep me motivated.
Preslie had a great summer playing and loving her flip flops, she was so sad when I packed them up for summer :( She has started her second year of pre school and doing fantastic. She is such a performer and loves to dance and sing around the house. Preslie is such a good helper lately, she cleans her room by herself and loves to help cook!

Colter AKA Monster...is BUSY but fun. He is a little teaser, doesn't still for anything! I have decided that the winter is going to be REALLY long, he loves being outside and playing. His new trick is climbing up on the chairs on to the bar and finding whatever he can, the other day he climbed up there and I caught him drinking my coffee! He loves his sister, and dad not mom. They are the only ones that get kisses and Daisy!

Here are a few pics from our activities..ENJOY!!

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!

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!

The Turkey Hunt!!

YAY....Hadley got his turkey!! Last Thursday night Hadley went up Butterfield Canyon to go hunting and he got up there and they were talking like crazy so he found them and "put them to bed" and went back up Friday morning and two toms came strutting in and he got one!! He was so excited. My dad was so excited for him and then got excited for his so they went up on Friday night but didn't hear or see any.....so my dad and I decided to sleep in on Saturday and not bother going out and hunting...maybe next year! Tom the Turkey is at the Taxidermist now and will come in October!!
