Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. Its a good thing we didn't plan a big trip or cruise somewhere because it would have been cancelled. It is fun to think back on our wedding day and then today and see us 5 kids later with one about to graduate.
The fun thing about this is everybody being home and just able to spend a lot of time together. Brian's mom has been to Texas with Karen for a week then Virginia with Carolynn. The took a trip to Disney World. She comes home Tuesday, and I think she is probably good and ready to get home. Its finally getting to feel like spring. It hasn't been too terrible of a winter other than cold, but I am good and ready for warmer weather.
Some fun things I haven't written about: We got another dog! I'm getting back into breeding so I bought myself a red toy poodle for a daddy. We named him Chip and he is so cute and fun. I really enjoy him. I have Roxanne and Vegas who I will breed him with but I want to get a smaller female as well. I'm kind of thinking a Cavapoo possibly.
We got Chip from clear up in Rigby Idaho. It was Presidents Day and Brian had to work so I took Kort, Graci, and Kendell with me and we made the trek. We had to stop in Logan on the way home to pick up some trailers then Ogden to get automatic horse/waterers which are the best things in this whole entire world. Anyway. I had to get two trailers and they were stacked so it was fine. However our stupid year old truck had the death wobble on about 4 times which was scary with trailers hooked on. Anway it was still under warranty so we got it fixed and it doesn't do that anymore but it was a long and scary drive home to Brians work then he drove the rest of the way.
Not sure if I ever mentioned that I bred Roxanne to a white standard poodle last year and she had puppies in June. All were chocolate or black except one girl. I kept here and she is Vegas.
Then Roxanne had a few rendezvous' with the neighbors German Shorthair. So she just had another litter 6 weeks. They are cute. I just sold the first one today and someone else is buying another one in the next day or so. So, its fun to make a bit of money with the dogs.
Rian went to sweethearts back in February with Wyatt. Wyatt is the kid she has gone to every dance with. He is a really good wrestler and took 2nd in State. We went and watched them this year. They took state last year but this year ended in 2nd. But they also moved up a division. Anyway Payson has a really good wrestling team.
Prom is coming up and they are going together. (that is unless the virus cancels that do but its still over a month away) Kendell also got asked to Prom! She was very excited. She just completed drivers ed but she can't get her license till May because she didn't get her learners permit quick enough.
Here are pictures from Rians sweethearts dance:
December was busy with school activities and birthdays. Shelby turned 11 and Graci turned 14. She got a new motorcycle! We had a very nice Christmas. It was quiet and low key. The day after we got up at 2:30 and off on the road by 3;30 in the morning to head to Arizona. It was a long drive because we hit some storms and the road were really bad till we got to the southern end of the state. We stopped to see Horseshoe Bend and that was really pretty. Then we continued on our way to Suhuarita which is south of Tuscon. Brian's last mission companion lives there now with his family. It was a great trip! We sure enjoyed the sunshine and decided to brave a trip to Mexico. We went down for the day and did a little shopping, ate lunch and got our nails done! We got 5 sets of nails for $80 so it was worth the 2 hour wait in the car it took to get back through the border. It did rain on us all day in Mexico but we still had a lot of fun.
One of the coolest things we saw was the Titan II missile. It was so interesting to see and Graci even got to push the button to "launch the missile".
We went to Old Tuscon which is an old western movie studio turned amusement park and that was super fun.
We drove back home to mom and dads house and were eating dinner and catching up on some laundry when Nathan called Brian saying a water line was broken and flooding the horses out. So, we hurried and loaded up and drove the rest of the way to rescue the animals. That started the chain of events that led us to getting the automatic waterers. Why we didn't install those a long time ago I don't know.
