Where Do I Begin...So Behind!

The Many Faces of Tag














Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

This year we headed to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving! We can no longer afford to fly, so we packed up the truck and took the 18 hour drive there! We left around 12:00pm and the boys fell asleep for their naps! Then they were up for a little bit and then fell asleep for the night. It worked out really good and we made great time! It was so wonderful to drive into Oklahoma and be back home again! It was great to see my mom and dad! My brothers arrived later on that day and were there mainly to hunt! We didn't see them much during their short stay because they were hunting everyday all day! Josh had a great time hunting as well, but he did have to spend time with me and the boys during the holiday! Lauri and her 3 girls came too and it was great to see my sister and nieces! All the kids had a great time playing together and Uncle Josh made a fun swing and trapeze to hang from the tree's and the kids just loved it! Josh was happy because he got his buck and I was happy to get my little buck too! Our stay went by really fast and it was very sad to have to say goodbye. The drive home was VERY long and I was so happy to be home and I think the boys and Josh agreed!











The Air Show

My brother-in-law was home on a 30 day leave from Afghanistan. While he was home we wanted to get the family together. There was an air show here and we decided to go as a family! My boys love airplanes and helicopters, so I knew they would have a great time! My brother-in-law would like to fly helicopters someday and has been taking lessons (if that is what you them!) Anyhow, it was a very fun and long day! I didn't realize how tired I was until I sat down! We got home about 3:30 and we all crashed and burned! The kids loved all the air shows that were put on, but we left before the "Thunderbirds" because we didn't want to be stuck there for hours! Josh was ready to leave because his feet were killing him...he was so ornery! The kids had fallen asleep too and didn't even move with all the noise from the planes going on. They were exhausted! All in all it was a really fun day!




Hunting with Woody

Our good friend, Woody Woods, invited Josh to go hunting with him for his mule deer. Of course, Josh was more than happy to go and excited to take Ty with him! He also invited his cousin and best friend, Mel, and his daughter, Montana! Ty and her are about the same age and they had a great time together! Woody was happy to get his mule deer and said he enjoyed having the kids there to take pictures with. I heard it was a fun trip, but Montana got really sick one night and I think that put a damper on things! I had a weekend with Tag and it is always nice to have "one on one" time with the boys!

Flint Rasmussen...the funniest man alive! Imitating "Titanic"

This was an awesome show...he rode without reins

Ty Murray...who Ty was named after! I think Josh would marry him if he could!

This cowboy is from Oklahoma!

PBR

My husband and I love to watch the Professional Bull Riding! Every year they have the World Finals in Las Vegas and I always want to go! This year, I finally got to go. Our adopted, "grandpa" Woody Woods had tickets and invited me to go. I was so excited and wasn't letting anything from getting in my way of going! He picked me up and we headed to Vegas! He had the best seats...right behind the VIP seats! We were right by the bucking shoots, so I was very close to all the cowboys! I have watched them on TV for years, but it was so fun to be right there by all the action! All though the cowboys didn't ride as good that night, it was so much fun to be there! I also had a great "date"...he bought me treats and dinner afterwards! It was such a fun night! Just to let you know, I asked my husband if he wanted to take me, but he wanted Woody to be able to go since they were his tickets! Last year he took Josh and I was so jealous, so he told me if he got tickets again he would take me!! Lucky for Josh, the people who were suppose to go the next night couldn't, so he and his younger brother went and had a great time too!
