Admission

Okay, I admit it-I am a horrible blogger! There I said it. Now everyone will know. The first step to recovery is to admit the problem right?!? I doubt it will help my laziness but at least you all won't expect much from me. I have been feeling guilty since Bethany made a comment about my blog. Thanks Bethany!

Playing catch up!

Well, it's been so long since I've posted pic's that I still have Christmas pictures left to share. Alex got a new riding outfit for 4-wheeling. What was I thinking buying white!?!

Is this a picture of perfection? By the way, that's my bed she is so comfortable in!

I tried to take pictures of Michael at his chess tournament but it's like trying to get into the White House. So I had to settle for a picture afterwards showing off his lack of teeth. As far as his chess goes, he is doing great. He was selected to be on the Varsity chess team so he competes against other schools in the area. He has won 3 games and tied the 4th. So no losses-Way to go Bud!

Natalie had western day at school on Wednesday and was very excited to wear the "cowgirl" hat that Grandpa Mike got her for her birthday. And of course, we had to take her horses to school also.

Okay, my plan is to update this more often. I hope you all enjoy looking at the pictures. You can always respond to my blog by signing in with your email address and posting a comment. Would love to hear from you!

Happy New Year!

It's been a month since my last posting so I figured I better update it. We had a very busy December between getting ready for Christmas, a get-together for Jad's guys and New Year's Eve. It was so much fun being with family and friends. It makes me realize how blessed I am with the people who surround me.

Ashlee Briel

She got her smarts from me!!


Ashlee never really caught anything...but she looked cute doing it!



Don't let this picture fool you...she's not THAT innocent!




Daddy's girl!


WHATEVER!!!

So here I am, trying to make time for everything, and my blog has suffered in the process. I'm thinking of what I would like to post tonight and my sister, Ashlee, comes to my mind. She is graduating from the Univ. of Laramie this weekend. I was 14 when she was born and I remember the first time I held her. I'm so proud of the woman she has become! She is the first in our family to graduate from college and I know that she will be successful in whatever she decides to do.

Love you!

A Dedication to Jad

This posting is dedicated to Jad. He was feeling a little left out of my blog so I want to make it up to him. I hope he feels better now! Love Ya!!





Is he old enough to drive, let alone carry a gun!?!?!

Why isn't Brandon smiling?

King of the snow....

Daddy and his little girl.

Doesn't he look like he did something that I just found out about and he is going to deny it?

New & improved!

I am just so dang proud of myself & my blog (I added music so make sure your volume is turned up). Wanted to share with everyone again. These pictures are from our trip to Yellowstone this summer.

The kids with the Tetons!

Can you even stand it!!!!!

My Mason-man....

Looking good girls! (One of my famous self-taken pic's.)

Fall Break 2007

It was a long day of riding! Especially for Evil Knievel Jr.!
