What we've been up to

So I have been a huge slacker lately. We have been staying busy though. We have also been doing some fun things but of course I always forget my camera:( We were in the Peach Days parade a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun and there were TONS of floats. I think there were 78 all together. We also went and watched my nephew play his first football game in Cedar. It was fun watching him. He did such a good job. I really wish I would have remembered my camera. I am posting some random pictures of Madi and Karter along with our latest accomplishment: OUR YARD!! It's getting really close to being complete. My hubby (who is the greatest in the world) finished the sprinkler system last week so on Monday we had our turf delivered. We are so excited. We have some work left to do. Our next task will be the covered patio but we will probaby wait a couple of months to do that. I really need to thank my hubby for everything. He has done a great job putting my ideas into reality!! I love the way it has all turned out:)

I walked into my bedroom the other day and this is what I found:) Yep he fell asleep just like that

This is a picture of our back yard

And this is the front yard! Let me just tell ya it is sooo nice FINALLY having a yard.

And last but certainly not least here is Madi and her sweet little kitty, Pixie!! How cute:)

Demolition Derby!!!

Okay..so this post is a little late but its better late then never, right?? A few weeks ago it was the Washington County Fair and they have a Demolition Derby on the closing night of the fair. My manager at work and my hubby decided to get a car ready and and go crash it. In the Washington County Fair my manager is the one who drove the car and Kris and a couple of other guys were in the pit crew. They had so much fun and did surprisingly well for never doing it before and putting the car together in a matter of weeks. Some of the guys take months to get their cars ready.

Well the car survived so we headed off to the Iron County Fair and that is when my hubby got his chance to drive. He was so excited. It was all he could talk about. We probably had the smallest car there but Kris didn't care. He went out ready to CRASH!! He was doing pretty good...until a car came from the oppisite side of the arena and hit him HARD!! I am not going to lie, I was scared. But my hubby survived. The same cant be said about the car. Kris ended up with some bruises, but he loved every minute of it and is already planning on doing it next year. He has plenty of helpers now that all of his friends seen how much fun he had. I asked him to take a couple months off and maybe start on his car after Christmas...we'll see!!

P.S. And in case you were wondering I did feel like a redneck but it was still a lot of fun and I was so happy for my husband. He really enjoyed himself and that's all the matters, Right??

If you are interested in family pictures he is your guy. ENJOY!!

Ramsay Reunion

This past weekend we went to Kanab for the Ramsay Family Reunion. I always love going there. We have so much fun and its great to get the family together. This is Stetson with shaving cream in her hair. The kids had so much fun playing in the shaving cream.

Well they all had fun except for Karter. He wasnt having it.

Me and my hubby enjoying our time together. I know we look really tired...its because we were

Karter and Judd having fun with the bubbles

All of the kids decided to put on a concert for us. It was so funny. They did such a great job and it was very entertaining. Grandma Ramsay even got up there and joined in on the fun. Go Grandma!!

I cant even begin to tell you how funny these kids are. Karter just stood up there and clicked his tongue. Stetson and Kaden switched off on the guitar and drums. And Madison added to the show with a toy apple that made noise. I dont even know where they found it but hey it made noise so it worked just fine. They all sang and they even told jokes. It was a great show They even made up tickets that they gave to everyone and some of us were even chosen to be V.I.P's.

All of the girls sitting around talking. Sorry Shy, she didnt want this picture taken but Kris took it anyway and now I am posting it on my blog. Dont worry Shy you're beautiful. Oh ya and that is our dog Bruce just relaxing enjoying the nice weather.

Our crazy nephew Kaden. Love him!!

Grandma Ramsay showing off her new mask. She is so much fun. We LOVE her so much!!

We had a treasure hunt at the reunion. All the kids had so much fun finding the clues. This is a picture of them after finding their treasure.

And this is a picture of them digging up the buried treasure. They all were so excited and working so hard.

Stetson and Madison after playing in the water. These girls are so cute and they love spending time together.

It was such a fun weekend and its always hard leaving and having to come back to reality. I cant believe summer is almost over. Only a few more weeks and Madison is in first grade. I cant believe it!!

4th of July (A little late)

Sorry this post is a little late but I have been sick all week. Yuck!! I am still not feeling the best but I am feeling better. I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that I have a kidney infection. Anyone that has ever had one feels my pain. Anyways I still wanted to post about our 4th of July. We started out the day by being in the Hurricane parade. Wendy's did a float and we used our truck and trailer for it. It was so much fun. My niece and nephew stayed with us and they were able to be in the float with us. After the parade we headed to Kanab but somehow got sidetracked and ended up in Fredonia. My sister talked me into playing softball with her and her husband's family. It was so much fun but I haven't played in 7 years. I still did pretty good though. We also hung out with some good friends while we were there. After the games we went to Kanab and had a BBQ at Kris's mom's house. It was so yummy and most of the family was there so it was fun. We stayed there to watch the fireworks. My parents and my sister and her family came to her house to watch the fireworks too which made it even more fun. I love the 4th of July and this was one of the best. It was a long day but well worth it.
You can kinda see my sister (Alicia) and her hubby. Also in the picture my dad, my mom and Madi is sitting on her lap looking a little tired.
