Pony Express Days

Pony Express days came and went again out here in Eagle Mountain. We only did one day at the fair this year since we were in Blanding half the week it started. So Saturday morning we went to the parade and then headed over to the fair and spent the day with Crystal and her girls. We went home for a few hours and then when Clayt got home from work we went back until it closed. Ryder loves the rides and it make me so excited for Disneyland in January he's gonna love it.

A couple of months ago a friend in our ward took these pics of Ryder for us. We were going thinking just Ryder would be in them but Clayt and I ended up in a few. Don't mind our not so much picture clothes haha. Thanks Erin.

This dang yellow truck is in so many pictures I have lol he was not being very good at wanting to get his picture taken. She was chasing him everywhere and she was 9 months pregnant. Holy moly she was a trooper.

Clayt had to have his horns in the pictures and though we needed a picture together with them lol

29

Clayt turned 29 on the 26th. We were out camping pretty sure he couldn't of asked for a better birthday being out of the "miserable city" as he would say. He said he just wished he could of found some horns. Clayt spoiled himself with a new gun and Ryder and I got him some basketball shorts and a knife nothing big. We enjoyed our day out with him and were happy to spend it with him. Hope your day was fun babe can't believe you're the BIG 30 next year ;) Thanks for all you do for us. We love you happy birthday.

2 week getaway

Ryder and I headed to St. George May 17th for Claytons cousins wedding. We had fun hanging out in the heat minus me being super sick all day Saturday :/ Congrats to Dustin and Courtney on their big day. Sunday we headed to Blanding with Marcia to stay for a week and a half. We enjoyed watching our nieces and nephews play softball and baseball, playing with cousins and friends all week and just hanging out. Clayt came down Thursday the 24th we were so excited to see him after a week. Friday we headed out to Elk Ridge to go camping for the weekend. It was just us and Trez Friday and Saturday were super windy so it was kind of miserable. Saturday we went for a drive to look for deer, elk and horns. We saw a lot of deer and Trez spotted a bear. If he wasn't with us we would of never of seen it. Clayt though he was full of crap backed up and there it was. It calmed down Saturday night but then it was freezing. Sunday evening we decided we were going to go in to town but would make our hobos first. Clayt's family ended up coming out right when we started so we finished dinner loaded up and went looking for Elk. After about an hour we finally saw 3. We headed back into town took baths and showers and went to bed. A bed never feels as good as it does after sleeping on the hard ground for 2 days lol. Monday we went to the shooting range to site in Clayts new gun and then had a bbq at Karen's house. Tuesday Clayt Ryder and I went out looking for horns but had no luck. Went back to town took and nap and then went and watched more baseball. Wednesday we finally decided to head home since Clayt had to be back to work Thursday. We had a fun little 2 weeks but I was ready to be home Ryder not so much he kept saying he wanted to stay in Blanding. But I'm pretty sure once we got home he was happy to be here too. Thanks for the fun 2 weeks everyone.

The bear

Ryder was cruising his dump truck everywhere and it was pitch black outside. He was way off in the bushes and he starts yelling we couldn't see him he all of a sudden comes running yelling "my trucks stuck trucks stuck" we asked what he was doing in the dark he says " Me driving looking for elk and horns" haha that made his dad proud.

Trez

Pouting on the floor.

Looking for horns.

This is how yucky the air was from all the wind :/
