The Crockett and Cooper Cabin Trip

Last year while attending a fundraiser at Northridge High School and we had the opportunity to bid on a cabin stay. We won the bid (we being the Crocketts and the Coppers)! Our first stay was 2 weeks ago and it was so much fun! We road 4 wheelers everyday and sat around a fire every night. The cabin was nice but the views are spectacular!
We have one more stay...so stay tuned for all the fun!

Shelby's 15th Birthday!!

All she wanted was a touch and that was all she got;)

She is 15 now and has her permit! Her party was at a local hotel and she had every friend she could get hold of + a few boys attend :0 (boys did not spend the night)...
as you can see they had a blast.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELBY,
you are becoming a beautiful young woman and we are proud of the person you are and strive to be. We love you Shelby Welby!

Who's the ugly girl with no tiara?Is she 15 or 18... god help us!

We did cupcakes cuz I thought that would be easier...instead they had a cupcake fight and got frosting everywhere!

The Waterfall

Well you would think after the pouring of the pad last year we would take a summer off...oh no that wouldn't make sense, who takes a summer off:) so this year we tore out the garden (yes I can't grow food outside) and put in a waterfall! Kevin and I are no landscapers but I think we did an ok job! Here are a few pics from the last few weeks...this is why I never get to blog and I wear nothing but a hat and work clothes all weekend long.









































Payton and I proving that a dead body would fit in the hole:)


We think it is beautiful and the sound is like nothing else on this earth!

Shelby's Surgery

Shelby had a tonsillectomy on Wednesday July 8th. She did great...the worst part was getting the IV before the surgery:( as you can see in the pic...tissues are for tears. Luckily the entire family was there for the experience and much to the staffs surprise we all stayed for the entire ordeal.
She has recovered nicely and lets say Shelby on Lortab is quite an experience! She came out of her room shortly after we got home and told me she had grown, " look how much taller I am than you" she said as she stood eye to eye with me. I did not have the heart to tell her she was still the same size.

Ariel's Graduation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She did it! We could not be more proud of her!
What a fantastic day!
We love you Ariel!
