Daddy

Today at church for sharing time we did daddy surveys. It was fun to see what the kids love about their wonderful dads. But no one (except Dondee, Josh, Britany, and Mallory) has a great of a dad as me. He is the best. He is not really one for saying I Love you but you we all know that he does by all the wonderful things he does for us. He is the best. My dad was always there when we need him. In our primary survey one of the questions was what is your favorite thing to do with your dad???
So that made me think and I thought back to when he went out in the yard and was playing soccer with Brit and I (I think he was our biggest fan). We had so much fun and he gave us a run for our money until he blocked one of our goals and had to limp off to the house. He had a pretty good bruise but it sure was fun... I love you daddy and Thanks for being so awesome!!!

Is she a Bassett???

Yesterday Sam and I got to spend a fun day in Billings just the two of us and baby Ryan. Taycee got to spend the day with Alex and Brooklyn in Lovell. (Just a little something to show you who she is most like... Taycee, Brooklyn, and Alex were all playing in the sprinklers and Aubrey was working in the yard and all the suden Brooklyn and Alex start yelling don't Taycee Stop that Kids will be kids so Aubrey went on with her yard work not thinking much about it. Ben was on the Tractor and saw Taycee chasing the girls with the sprinkler and by this point is up on the porch soaking everything in her path, Towels, cloths, and the front door so to get Taycee's attention decided to honk the horn. I hope I got the story right I just thought it was too funny not to share. I am not going to tell you which of us (Sam or me) that Taycee might have picked something like that up you will have to guess!!!!!

Cute and Not so Cute!!!

Well some people have these wonderful stories of a bird building a nest and getting to enjoy the cute little birds but not me all that we have to brag about at our house is a snake that lived just outside our front door!!!! Ok it is only a gardener snake but he still scared Taycee enough to have been the most poisonous snake ever. He was all curled up next to the step and as we passed Taycee caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and started the girly screams. (yeah and with a yard sale going on up the street I am sure we got some crazy looks!!!) He hung around for a few days but finally I had had enough of the freaking out every time we went to leave the house so being the tough person that I am I made Sam get rid if it. Don't worry all you snake lovers he just moved it to a new home.




Ryan is getting so big!!! He has been with us for 10 months. He is such a joy to have around. He some how transformed from a baby to a little boy. He is learning so many things. He is walking along the furniture and once in a while he will stand on his own. Taycee is one of his biggest fans. She love to cheer him on and is the first to tell him what a good job he is doing. He finds her very funny. She is always making him laugh and it is the best sound in the world. I don't think that there is a sound quite like it.

Ryan is learning to Maneuver the stairs!!!
He is learning from his cousin Dalley. He isn't around stairs that often so he is actually doing very well. He is even able to come back down a few of them. He is even so brave to stand up while hanging on to the railing and that makes me a bit nervous.

Taycee is always doing things that make me laugh! She wasn't even trying this time. She was cold and so I handed her my sweat shirt. She started whining about not being able to get it on with her seat belt on but then figured it out. She looked to me to be coming out of the seat but maybe you won't see it but I thought it was funny!!!


I love that we live in a place were if we are quiet we can peek over the back gate and see a deer not to far away. The kids (and Sam) thought it was just so cool!!!
