Fall leaves

Ryan and I were talking the other night and I told him I needed one of those leave blowers to blow all the leaves away from the house and around my fountain. He told me that they had one, they had just bought one this year to blow off the tractors! -This is not your usual leave blower...when I turned it on I had to hold on or it would fly up (like shooting a gun when it has a lot of kick and they say hold on tight) the 1st time I thought Ryan grabbed it and was pulling it up, nope just all the pressure! It can really blow the leaves away! When you are married to a farmer and bigger is better...you can get a lot done! Ryan came home and blew out all the rain gutters for me. Porter was on the 4-wheeler with the leave sweeper and Raygn was on the lawn mower picking up all the leaves we blew away from the house. Addie was in cleaning the bathrooms and watching Aleigha. Thanks family

Tagged-4th File 4th picture

I love this picture of Kyler and Raygn it was from track and field day they had just won the wheelbarrow race! How cute to see cousins get along so well. So I am trying to catch up on all my tags, now you need to show us your 4th file, 4th picture! Have fun

Scouting for food

Porter had to drop off flyers to remind everyone that the scouts were going to be there on Saturday to gather the food. We took them to the Hidden Valley people. Isn't he such a cute Scout!

Quirks

I was tagged by my sister Colleen, I think it goes like this:
list 6 quirks about yourself & tag 6 more people.
1.Well I like to know what I am talking about so just to give you an example I looked up what a quirk was. (a sudden twist, turn, or stroke-that was the #1 definition but #3 was- a Peculiarity, peculiar trait, or mannerism) If you have ever played a game with me you know that I like to look up the rules.
2. Every night before I go to sleep I have to put on chap stick. (I prefer natural Ice)
3. I hug everyone-good or bad I am a touchy person and I love to hug people(if I don't know them well I usually touch them on the arm, (weird but that's me)!
4. I like Ryan to kiss me before he leaves for work EVERYDAY, if he comes back home for something when he leaves again I like another kiss!-(you know the touchy thing)
5. My hair is turning red-I dye it to take the red out, sorry dad. I know that only Char knew that so my secret is out now!
6. I don't love to run. I know I do run all the time but I have my reasons, like being vain or because I heard that exercise is good for you, something like that. A race is a good motivator to keep running plus I like competition!
So I tag Heather, Jalyn, Tara, Trish, Char, & anyone else that is reading this!

One more Birthday post!

This is pictures of the scavenger hunt that Nik put together for me...very fun! I had to figure out clues and then find where they were. That was I think in all my 30 years the 1st scavenger hunt made just for me! Addie and Kaylia were there the whole time helping me too, thanks that was loads of fun! Thanks Nik you are great. Love you (thanks for letting me steal this collage from you)

So I really am 30!!

I have some of the best freinds around! Today one of my friends brought this book out to my house, for my 30th birthday they had got 30 people to write me a letter. (family, friends, & people from the ward) Oh how sweet it is to hear nice things about yourself and get to know peoples' thoughts about you, the impact you have had in their lives, and how they LOVE you. Thank you so much everyone, it made turning 30 worth it.

Happy Birthday to me!

Ryan and Viv planned a party for me...I guess it was a surprise one because I was surprised when everyone showed up! Viv made me a birthday cake and Paul and Becky, Jeff & Char, Logan & Heather, & Trish all came & kids! Thanks everyone for making the trip and making it such a special 29th birthday! (not sure about the #'s on the cake I will talk to viv)

Birthday Trip

My 29th birthday was yesterday (or was it last year, oh well #'s are not important) and my friend Dolly and I went to Utah with our girls. We both have two about the same age. We stayed with my sister and her roommate Beth(dolly's sis-in-law). We went shopping, ate, played games, shopped some more, and went to temple square. Thanks Nik and Beth!

Beets

Some of you might wonder why I am posting soooo many beet pictures, well we have 960 acres of beets to dig! I love the harvest time and getting to ride in the tractor with Ryan and my kids getting to go to "work" we love it!
