Atomic Days 2010

Atomic Days brings new celebrations each year. This year Mitch and Rachel both brought their families home. Mitch was celebrating his 20 year class reunion and of course the kids all had a great time together with the cousins.

At the Moore Community Association Car and Tractor show we had a very talented local artist carve a cowboy that he donated to the association for us to sell or raffle. The association decided to raffle "Cowboy Chris". The big drawing was to be held at the Saturday night Atomic Days Rodeo. We felt that Chris should be in the parade, and so we gathered our "Floozies" and displayed "Chris" with pride.

"Cowboy Chris" was on displayand completed at Mom and Dad's house for the month prior to Atomic Days. He became a part of the family quickly! The kids were all sad to see him go. Many of the kids (along with all of us adults) tried for their chance to win this great piece of art and give him a home in Moore. He was however happily greeted by his new family in Pocatello.

Bryton, Haylee, Ciera, Addie and Madyson had so much fun dressing up

and flirting with the big sexy cowboy.
C.L. helped Spencer promote the Number Hill Grill float!

Darci, Lilly, and Makenna sported the clowning around and rode in the

Moore Community Association train.

Growing up all in ONE DAY!

June 22, 2010

My Darci seems to do things in a big way!

The day started off early in the morning with a full allergy test.

She waited so patiently for the time to pass!

Then when we got home she insisted that we get her ears pierced!

We had discussed getting her ears pierced for weeks leading

up to this and I didn't really feel like ears pierced was a

reward after being poked 56 times already that morning!

She was all for it!

As if the day wasn't already eventful enough............

We got home and she insisted that I remove her training wheels

because she was ready to ride her bike!

It only took her about 10 minutes to take off by herself!

By the end of the afternoon she had figured out how to ride and also how

to start out without being helped!

Oh my girl! I do love how she keeps me on my toes!

I only wish I could keep up with her!

Spring Fever

Darci! Never a dull moment with my girl...... So we were out in the yard and Carson had the sprinklers going for the first time. Darci decided to play in them. After she came and showed me her soggy clothes I told her to go and lay on the trampoline to dry out.... When I went around the corner this is what I found!

Little Moments

This is one of those parent moments. I asked Darci what she was doing with the boxes and all the animals and she sat down in the middle of them all and said, "I'm doing flamily home evening!" She had out the church picture manual and was proceeding to teach her friends. Moments like these make a mom proud!
