So I am a total slacker, I was just looking at the pictures on my camera and realized I have a lot that I haven't put on here. Justen's cousin, Alex, was married in the SLC Temple on April 30th. Here are a few pictures of my handsome boy. If I could just keep up with the little rascal.

Family Pictures

On the first weekend in May we headed down to Utah for my nephews baby blessing. While we were there we had our family pictures taken, this is the first time we have had them taken in about 8 years. It was a lot of "fun", Mitchell is not the easiest little boy to photograph. He doesnt' sit still for very long and if there is any water around that is where his attention is at. Here is what we ended up with.

When mom's away ....

I have to admit sometimes I can become preoccupied with things and don't pay attention to what my darling son is doing. This is one of those occasions. I was on the computer when all of a sudden it was really quiet around the house. It is usually only that quiet when Mitchell is sleeping or into something, since I knew he wasn't sleeping I figured he was into something. I have my flour in a big Tupperware in the bottom of my pantry, well apparently I didn't put it back last time I used it because Mitchell was having one heck of a time playing in it. I snapped a few pictures before I cleaned up the mess.

World Champions!!!!

Well it was an exciting few days at the World Chariot Races. My dad as well as Justen were running in the first division and my dad also had a team in the 2Nd division. They all did awesome!! I am so proud of all of them. My dad's team in the 2nd division ended up 3rd, only because on of the horses, Orange Saint, came up sore after the race on Friday and when they brought him back on Sunday he wasn't much better. I am so glad that they decided not to run at the last minute. I would have hated for something worse have happened. Justen and Glen did really well also up until the last day when Joe came up soar and not wanting to hurt him any worse decided to pull out on the last day. If they would have run they would have been running for 4th, 5th , and 6th in the 1st division. My dad's big team of Dominant Cash and Summer Love were amazing, they ended up first in the first division, which means they are the 2009 World Champions. I am so happy for my dad, he has been going after this for a long time. He totally deserves it. Also, Zac Vane had been driving the team all year, let his dad Larry drive them in the final dash. They are a great family and I am happy that I am able to call them my friends. Congratulations to all of you!!
P.S. It was way exciting, but I am sure glad it is over. I need my Saturdays back.

Happy B-Day Justen!!

Well I am really late on this one,but the last few weeks have been super crazy and I just haven't had a chance to post. Justen turned 32 on the 18th of March, we just had a little party for hime here at the house. Last year I made Mitchell a horse cake for his birthday, Justen made fun off it and I told him for his birthday I would make him the other end. So that is what I did, it took me a little bit to figure it out but I think it turned out pretty funny. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. He works so hard for us and I know it isn't always easy to live with me. I hope you had a great birthday and know that I love you!

Boots!

For Christmas Mitchell recieved some cowboy boots from Santa. He hasn't really been that interested in them until now. He brought them to Justen and wanted them on. Once he put them on who would not take them off. Here are a few pictures of him eating his favorite,noodles, while wearing his boots.

Utah Sate Champions!!!

This last weekend Justen, Mitchell, and I went to Utah for the Chariot Racing State Championship. My dad was running three teams, they were in the 4th, 2nd, and 1st division. He runs with Larry Vane and his two boys Zack and Ty. They were able to win all of their races. Which means that my dad's team of Wasatch Pallet#1 are the Utah State Champions, Vane Racing won first in the 2nd division, and Wasatch Pallet #2 won the fourth division. It was so much fun to see how excited everyone was, we had a great time. Mitchell loved watching the races, but he especially loved playing in the puddles. I am so proud of my dad and the boys, I know they have worked really hard for this and I am so excited for them. Now I get to be all nervous for this coming weekend, Justen is running in the first division at the Idaho State Championships. Hopefully I will be able to post some more exciting news about his races. Congrats Dad, Larry, Ty, and Zack!
