July 10, 2008 we were cleaning up from dinner and Shelby was jumping around and hit her lip on the table even though the cut was on the inside of her mouth the band aid on the outside of coarse made it all better.

July 12, 2008 Casey and I always say if we can teach our kids anything it would be obedience and the value of hard work. I think its important to teach the love of hard work or rather the love of a job well done while they are young so this Saturday we worked hard with what I grew up specializing in "pulling weeds".

After awhile of weeds they were to pick the strawberries & raspberries. As it was getting closer to lunch most ended up in their mouths then in the bowls. Following their appetizer they both had an excuse to enter the house promising to come right back out. After a few min. I went into check on them only to find them actually preparing themselves some lunch. Kolby warming up some pizza & Shelby attempting to make herself a peanut butter and honey sandwich. I'm not sure if their learning value of work but i guess their learning something!

July 19, 2008 Kolby and Shelby tried something new. They were participants in the Draper rodeo as mutton busters. Kolby had a great ride and a lot of fun Shelby on the other hand wasn't so sure about the whole thing and mounted with assistance but didn't make it out of the pen. We had a great time Kolby would love to do it again but Shelby just likes to ride on daddy.
