1st Place Again!

William riding the Tractor (He LOVES tractors) at the Utah State Fair. We live way west in West Jordan and so many times when driving places we pass fields. William is always certain to point out that he sees a tractor and wants mommy to see it as well. "Look Mommy, Tractor!"



Whether he is Cowboy or just all boy William loves anything with wheels, and is especially fascinated with tractors.


















William got so excited when people clapped for them. He joined right in. Look at that face, His so happy.

He was so proud of his trophy. I motioned for them to have him show it to me and he held it up so high, I love that picture.

I can not get enough of the pictures of William and Matt. Matt stood in to walk beside William. He was excited to have his daddy there.































Here is the gang (minus Grace and I, we were there) Uncle Taylor and Aunt Heather, Treasure, William and Matt. Thanks for letting us come and ride Treasure again, we enjoy it and as you can tell William LOVES it!



































Nothing better than home made ice cream after a ride.... William enjoying his Strawberry and Cream ice cream cone. He also loves ice cream, he would eat it every day if I let him.

Mommy's Girl!

Can I just tell you how being a Mom is the hardest but greatest thing ever. Times like this make it all worth it. When my kids snuggle with me it melts my heart. This is Grace before she was going to be put to bed last night.

She just snuggled right in and smiled so cute for Daddy when he pulled out the camera. I was just enjoying the snuggles so much I didn't want to put her to bed. Little did I know she was smiling so cute for Daddy. She is so precious.

However, after we took a few pictures she was interested in what was taking place and ended the snuggles. She is such a sweet baby.

Cute Little Cowboy Continued

We couldn't leave these two pictures out, for some reason my posts only allow so many pictures (maybe that is just how it is) Any way, William and Josh peeking in the stall.

William, proud of his 1st place trophy!

Cute Little Cowboy

William has been in two horse shows thanks to his Great Aunt Heather and Uncle Taylor. He is lucky enough to ride their horse Treasure in the Lead Line show.

Here he is all Cowboy'd up!

William and Uncle Taylor getting ready to go for the Show.

Mommy tucking in William's pants, Aunt Heather wanted to be sure everyone could see the cute John Deer boots.

Grace is CRAWLING!!!

This morning while I was getting breakfast wrapped up and on the phone I looked over to see Grace going after William's Sip cup. I was so excited to see her take her first full out crawling motions.

Later on I decided to get some pictures of her going ofter the hair tie. Here she is taking off.

Almost there...

And she got it!

She took her first crawling motions that morning (Sept. 3rd) and was all around the house by that evening. We are so excited she has learned to crawl. At the same time, she is growing too fast!

Standing Up

Well she didn't seem so happy about the idea of pulling her self up to things at first, as you can see, she was a bit sad.

However, when Matt and I got her attention, she realized how excited we were and wasn't so scared any more.

In fact she was quite happy, look at that toothless smile. At this point she had not yet started crawling and still refuses to roll from her back to her tummy, but nothing is stopping her from wanting to climb up to things.
