WOOHOO ! TROJANS

After 1 and a half years in the making, our Trojans finally pulled through.
Last night I was such a proud mamma. Bradley had another football game against, none other then Rocky Mountain. He insisted he was winning against them because it's where I went to school. He wanted to prove Rigby is "better" then Bonneville. Well after last night I'm pretty sure Bradley proved to me that Rigby 3 for 5th grade football is better then RM3. =>
Bradley made the first touchdown and extra point in a matter of 3-4 minutes. No joke. Then another as soon as the ball was turned around and that extra point as well. Our defense was on fire as well. To which they have no replaced a player and put Bradley in as middle linebacker. He sacked the quarterback a few times and did so well. We ended up making another touchdown and then Bradley YES Bradley made another. They were at the 20 yard line on the opposite side of the field and Bradley RAN the whole way to score again. He was at least 10 yards in front of every one and unstoppable. He was on FIRE. WOOHOO!
Bradley made 3 of the 5 touchdowns for the night and was ALL smiles after the game.
It's only taken this long to finally win a game but hell when they did it they did it well. The other team didn't even get close to scoring and our coach was actually asked to have Bradley sit out because he was doing so well. I guess it's a mercy , so to be "fair" Bradley sat out for the last quarter. He wasn't happy about sitting out but it at least gave the other kids a chance to play.
WOOHOO RIGBY TROJANS!

Here are a couple pictures ,I didn't bring my good camera and these are from my phone, wish I would of brought it but these will have to do. Too bad there wasn't a score board I would of taken a pic of that too. =>

Bradley turns 11

Yes it's true my young man has turned 11.
It's crazy to realize how fast time really flies.
Sadening really.
I can't believe in 11 years how so many things have changed.
For Bradleys birthday this year we were extremely busy.
First thing in the morning we were up and heading to a football game by 7:30 in the morning.
Bradley played sugar city and although they didn't win it was an awesome game. The score was 19-13. If they only had one more touch down they would of had it. Oh well though there's always next time right.
After Bradley's game we headed to Rigby for Dustins game and they did just as well. Although Flag football is very confusing as far as I'm concerned. They don't keep 'score' for them so I'm not sure who won because me and Bradley ended up to the game alittle late.
After football games and cleaning up (changing clothes from sweaty stinky to nice.) We picked up a couple of Bradley's friends and took off for the bowling lanes.
I'm not so sure the boys had a ton of fun when they realized they weren't winning but they didn't complain any. After bowling we went back to the house where they could hang out and of course play FOOTBALL.
All of them are football crazed.
Later on in the evening we had family over for some cake and ice cream and enjoyed the evening chatting.
For me this birthday was good because there were no holes in the wall afterwards, and the kids weren't crazy hyper because of the sugar.
Now if I can only get my boys to stop growing so fast we will be doing great. => Ha ha I know fat chance right? But a mom can always dream.

Of course we had a football cake.

Union Falls (on Horse Back)

Daniel had the chance this past weekend to go horseback up to Union Falls with a couple of his customers.
Although I wasn't there I wanted to share a few of the pictures they "tried" to take. While on horseback it's hard to take a picture according to Daniel.
This was his first time horsebacking for 36 miles in the mountains, ( his rear end being sore 'understatment'  made this very apparent). Here are a few of the not so blurry pictures.

one of the many falls they seen.

treckin through the river

seeing Daniel on a horse is a bit wierd for me.

Beautiful scenery they sat in the hot pools to sooth their sore rears before the ride back.

Labor Day Camping

On labor day weekend not only did we go to the fair but we also went camping in Leadore at the Big 8 Mile campground, for Daniel's uncles house warming party. They built a new home and wanted to celebrate with all of their family and friends.
We had roasted pig and drinks with a live band and campfire to stand around, so I'd say it was a great time. Daniel and I didn't have too many drinks so the frigid temps were alittle too much for us.
It was below freezing during the nights and I think 40's or 50's during the day. But we didn't let it stop us from having fun. Daniel double pulled up there so we were able to take bobcat and enjoy some beautiful scenery except the road up to the lakes was awfully bumpy. But worth it by the time we got to where we were going.
We visited for the first time.
Dairy Lake which wasn't too bad of a ride, and silly me forgot to charge the battery in the camera so we didn't get any pictures of the lake. But I will say it was Beautiful.
And then after charging my battery we went up to Everson Lake.
That treck was the worst it was huge rock after huge rock to drive over. But amazed as we were that the bobcat actually made it , we found the beautiful lake and enjoyed walking around it for a little while before the wind picked up and froze us.
Leadore is such a beautiful place when you get into the mountains and start to explore the country, so nice infact I can't wait til next year when we are able to head up again and see the rest of the Lakes they have up there.

More times then not we had to cross the creek to get to where we were going.

The picture doesn't show it but the bobcat is diesal and did alittle smoking on the last little bit.

the drift wood around the lake was beautiful as well.

Fun at the Fair

So this year we went to the fair as usual , and ate as much food as we could fit in

our bellies. But I'm not so sure we enjoyed all the people pushing and shoving us trying to get to the food as well.

This year for Labor Day weekend we went to the Fair on a Monday instead of a Sunday like we usually do. I would not recommend it if you don't enjoy lots and lots of crowds and waiting in line for 45 minutes to get a bite to eat. Maybe I was just in a "mood" but it was a bit annoying.

We ate some delicious food though.

We had funnel cakes , ice cream and tortatoes. It was enough to stuff the boys for once and it was surprising to me.

After we ate some delicious food we walked around and checked things out as much as we could , we walked through the barns to see all of the animals and walked of course as per Dustins request through the petting zoo. I loved the little pot bellie pig they had there it was adorable.

Daniel says I'm alittle weird for thinking it was cute but hey what can I say?

Then as we were walking around we came across another cute animal.

It was a mini bull. It was the strangest thing I've seen.

The top part of it was like a full grown beautifully built bull , then you look down and it's legs are cut in half. Not literally cut in half but the size was cut in half from a normal bull's size.

I've never seen a bull like that but he was beautiful. When I first saw him I could of sworn he was laying down. =>

After checking out the bull we took the kids to get the air brush tattoos. And then Daniel saw this strange looking bike with an sign that read, " $5 to ride bike if you can we pay you $50." Of course he couldn't turn this up. So he paid his $5 and tried it out. He took 3 tries and didn't ride it. Then while watching others try he told me " there isn't anything I can't ride, I'm trying again." So he paid another $5 and again it was a NO ride. Ha ha! Guess there is something he can't ride.

In all the fair was alright. Because after that we left. Maybe next year we'll go when it's not so BUSY. And we will actually enjoy walking around and seeing the sights of the fair.

Back to School

Back to school they go.
Today was the first day of school for Jefferson County. And both of the boys are off. Bradley is a 5th grader this year and Dustin is a 3rd grader. It's crazy how fast these boys grow.
It's kind of sad for me really because I'm a "stay at home" mom. I think I'll be trying the school thing or job thing myself this year because I don't want to sit around doing nothing by myself. The boys were happy to get off to school so they can see all of their friends and not have to do chores all day. => Silly kids.
Here are a couple pictures of them all dressed up for the first day of school.

As you can tell Bradley isn't so "enthralled" to be going back to school.

Dustin was EXCITED!

Bradley with another WOOHOO Face! =>
