Life with the BOYS!

The kids had their horse show banquet and looked adorable in their cowboy get up! I love my little buckaroo's!

 Each year my kids ride their horses in a little play day, and at the end of the summer they have dinner and awards.  Here are a few pictures of my kids with the loot they brought home!  They were pretty happy kids!

 

I also have a pretty happy husband because of these babies:  Yep, I finally let him buy some snowmobiles.  He has been on cloud 9.  They ran great and we have had a blast on them so far.  

 

We had to go up pretty high to find some snow but it was worth it.  The kids loved the snowmobiles and they loved sledding behind them. 

 

The best part about having snowmobiles is that you don't have to walk back up the hill after sledding down......dad gives you a ride!

Cowboyin' on the Desert

My favorite event of the year is bringing cows on the desert.  Each year it gets better and better because I get the cutest helpers to come along with with me.  Kade did AWESOME this year.  He road the entire way-from the farm to Fullers Bottom. What a handsome cowboy!

 

 Because we are in a drought, the BLM cut our desert permits in half!!!!  Lets hope we get some good snow this year so that our #s go up!

These cute cowboys had everything under control.  I was able to just sit back and take pictures while they took care of the cowboying!

Chase, Kade, and Kyle

We had to stop and take a break at Phino's Cabin.  Hotdogs of course for lunch!

Tyce rode for a little while, but quickly wanted to get off and ride in the truck with Grandma.  Here he is all smiles!

 

Poor little Jess was a sick little guy.  He was a trooper though! 

This picture has nothing to do with bringing cows on the desert, but I was pretty excited about this event.  This here my friends is the big buck I killed on the rifle hunt.  It was my first kill and can I just say "BUCK FEVER"!  I have never understood it until now.  I was shaking SO hard that my butt cheeks were jiggling!  My first shot took his leg clear off.  My second was right through the lungs. 

Best Fishing of the Year!

We took the boys fishing at Milsite and we were thrilled at the nice fish we were reeling in.  They were so much fun to catch.  Here is Tyce with his fish.

 

Kade has been good to bait, cast, and reel his own pole in.  He was fishing away when he got a huge bite.  Well lets just say, it was a HUGE fish!  He was so excited!

Check out that beauty!  I have NEVER seen a fish that big come out of Milsite.  It was at least 3lbs.  Pretty cool! 

You also couldn't beat the view from where we were fishing.  The sunset was gorgeous! 

Happy Halloween

Halloween was GREAT this year!  I had the cutest little trick or treaters around! 

 

 Here is BATMAN of course! 

And the cutest PIRATE ever!

Last but not least.......A INJURED BASEBALL PLAYER!

We attended several Halloween parties this year, each were super fun with great games for the kids. Pumpkin bowling at Grandma Laurie's party was a one of the boys favorite games.

Cheese!

 

Kade was the coolest baseball player at the Castle Dale Elementary Halloween Parade!

Also for Grandma Lauries party, we carve our pumpkins!  It has turned out to be a great tradition at the Larsen's.

 

Our final projects:

 

We also had a party at our house this year.  It was so fun having everyone over to play games and eat yummy food. 

These two good lookers where loving the party!  (me and my mom)

 

Jess loved Halloween.  He loved dressing up and he loved carrying this pumpkin around for days.  I had to take this picture of his cute little cheeks!

Silly Jesser!

Catching Up



Flag Football:

The flag football season will come to an end on Monday night hopefully with a win by my favorite team, the 49ers! Did I mention I am their biggest fan? 

Here is my favorite player.....kicking butt!

 

 Getting ready to rush the quarterback!

 

 It's getting serious!

 

Camping for Labor Day:

We headed up to Flat Canyon for a much needed campout.  We had a ton of fun riding motorcycles, eating yummy food, and of course: fishing!

 

Starting their own fire....pretty safe huh!

TROUBLE!!

We fished at Potter's Pond and we caught several of these Albino Trout, they were SO cool!

 

 My crew!

 

Shooting Skeet:

A few days ago we had a family party. My mom has reunited with a long lost high school sweetheart, so we took him out to shoot skeet.  He is a really nice guy, and we are so excited for my mom.

Me and one of my sweethearts!

4-Wheeler Ride:

The other night we went on a freezing 4 wheeler ride to check out the elk.  It was such a pretty ride, the colors of the tree's were amazing and we were able to watch a beautiful sunset.
