Pagie does the funniest things

This year for the Cleveland Pagent paige told me all she wanted to be was a loser. So the reason behind it is that if she did win she wouldnt be able to try out for 3 years because she moved up a age group Paige has a personality that just cracks me up. She has to come up with something that is orginal and nobody would think of. For the pagent they give them an onstage question it was If you had one wish what would you wish for.....paige response "Parties, Popcorn, and most of all World Peace,,,,,,Just kiddding, I would wish for a clean bedroom because im sick and tired of my mom telling me to clean it.." So she answered it in her little attitude with actions and a head roll. She had me rolling.

But the best part was her talent, when it came down to doing it, she started perfect smiling shaking it and then BAM.....she put her hands on her hips and started screaming I forgot my dance, did some squels. Oh My heck I was the proudest mom ever...Well it was quite funny. She is the whole entertainment for the pagent. Also when she had to go in for the interview with the judges. They asked her "If you could be a cartoon character who would you Be?" Paige: Well thats easy i would be spongebog squarepants because he gets to live in a pineapple and swim all day. 2 of my favorite things Pineapple and swimming what more could I ask for."

Oh paiger what am i going to do with you. I love you to pieces...

I have to say the kids have the best grandma ever. This was the first year that Belle and Brant was old enough to show Pigs. I absolutly love it, pigs have a personality that just make you smile. We spent the week in ferron camping at the grounds. The kids love it because for 5 days they really dont have to listen to mom they just come find me when there hungry and are tired. I just sat around and talked with good friends, played bingo, danced, just relaxed. We started out going to get 6 pigs but then it turned into 5, so we were feeding them and 3 of them were so small everyone thought we wouldnt make weight. They need to weigh 230 at weigh in at the show. So how we ended up with 4 is that. We had the cutest red pig it would sit on its behind to eat always when it was little but as it got bigger it stilled did it. Come to find out it was missing a vitamin so we decided to take the pig out of the show. It is now still getting fed out so we can pack it up.... Ok so back to the others 2 were gaining weight and 2 were not. So the 2 we weighed the first part of june and had 80 pounds to put on them. We fed those pigs twinkies, cake mix, eggs anything sweet that wasnt chocolate. So at the weigh in we pulled those pigs in at 237 and 242. Needless to say I will NEVER eat a twinkie again.

We did really good in the show, Belle took 7th overall in the star class for the boy pigs. Way to go for the first show. Brant had a hard class he didnt make it to the star but he was the one away from going to the starclass. His class had the both grand champion, 1 reserved champion. So for him to go out right before was good. Bowdie took one of the smaller ones and still got a blue ribbon. Austin took the 4th one for us and did Ok for being the smallest pig...

I thought when belle sold her pig she would have a hard time but she was just happy to do the stock show.. We loved the experience and cant wait till next year...

Belle is in love...

Belle convinced me to let her try Horse 4h this year...What was i thinking because this isnt a cheap thing to do.. But hey she is a ROCKSTAR!! This has been new to me, Im not not horse rider that knows how to run barrells or even do the showmanship thing. She is not to big on the showmanship thing but running around barrells and Poles she LOVES it. I had to throw this picture of paige in. Can you tell she wanted money....

A little catch up..

Its been a long while since the last. Alot has happened halloween, thanksgiving, christmas new years, and birthdays... So this year are halloween was relaxing we went trick treating like in the day when you knocked on doors. I think the kids had more fun than usual. Thanksgiving was sucky jeremy was in steamboat for work. The kids and drove down that sat and surprised him before he went to work it was way cute to see the kids face and jeremy. When we were there we went swimming outside in the cold but the kids thought it was pretty neat that when they got out of the heated pool they were steaming they thought they were on fire. We ate at all of jeremy places like village inn and wendys.... Yeah I know what some fine restraunts... When we left it was hard to drive away leaving jeremy behind. But all was good. When he finally came home in Dec. belle had left to go to the jazz game and paige, payton and me went to watch princess and the frog. Jeremy would always say im coming home next week well he never would. So when he that afternoon i was like whatever kids and me are at the movies. Well I was standing in line to get the popcorn while the kids saved are spots. When walked in this guy that i hadnt seen in 3 weeks. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHh...Yeah so he went in and sat behind the kids in the theatre I came in with there drinks and jeremy had already been there awhile sitting. They were watching for me I got up to them and they were asking questions when after about 20 minutes paige finally noticed jeremy and jumped over the seats Just to get to him it was the cutest thing. there was tears out of jeremy to see there faces. It was nice to know he was finally home.
Christmas was the best. Belle Spent christmas eve with her dad for the 1st time. She got a zhu zhu pet, ipod and radio, American girl doll. Paige favorite thing was her Bity baby twins. She wanted ones that looked like her and payton. But santa couldnt get a boy with brown hair and blue eyes so hers is brown hair and brown eyes. thank goodness she was ok with that. She got a ds. Payton only wanted nerf guns and skateboard. Loved it. Jeremy about crapped his pants he got the gun that he wanted forever. He couldnt get the smile off his face. As for me i got cooking stuff again. which is ok they might be hinting to me that they want me to cook. HA not going to happen...
Paige and payton turned 7 this year. We had a party for them yeah i am crazy. next year is just going to be the family. I need at least 2 years to recover...
well sorry no pictures I will post in a bit....

A little of this and that

There has been alot going on lately and alot things finishing up. We just did are last gymcana meet and the kids did good. We are so glad that it is over for the year now just one less thing to worry about. The kids love the horses. I didnt get very many pictures I was learning how to use my camera.

Another thing that just started is Flag Football. Payton Loves it. His team is so stinking cute and small. They work there butts off and they do awesome. I am so proud of them they don't care if they win or lose they are all there to have fun. I hope they all stay that way. I teach payton that no matter if your going beat or if your winning you always keep your cool and encourage the other team and your teammates. Are team is the Jagaurs, its funny now Payton favorite football team is the jagaurs now and wants to when and who there playing. Boys and there sports how fun. I am glad I have a kid that will get into sports with me.

My girls started there dance classes and Belle is doing two Dons and Kisty dance groups. She loves to dance. She started Piano this year. My friends mom gave us a piano which we are so grateful for. It is so nice to see her learn something new and listen to the music. Paige is only doing kisty dance group. Its kisty first year teaching and I think she will do great. They decided not to do gymnastic this year. That leaves us free time and we dont feel like were always running.

Where has the summer gone?

Oh my goodness can you believe school is about to start it feels we just got out. Are summer has been busy. At the beginning of the summer we went to California. That was a blast. The kids loved getting all the characters autographs. The girls went to a camp at disneyland and then performed at Knotts berry. They all did good I love to see my girls perform.
We have been camping and fishing and I especially love having a camp trailer with beds already made. Belle went to montana with her dad for a month she loved it. She was able to spend alot of time with him this year which was good for her and him. She rode horses and learned to build fence. I am so glad she can have a relationship with him. She loves to go and visit him but is glad to come home to her other family and friends.
We had cleveland day celebrations we look forward to that every year. Jeremy and I were in charge of the coke wagon this year. It was a fun we lucked out and had some great people that was willing and reliable in taking shifts. Jeremy rocked at it getting ice and keeping it all stocked up.
This is a summer in review for each kid
Belle Favorite part was going to the ranch and riding horses
Payton favorite was catching a huge fish but it tasted nasty
Paige favorite was going to seven peaks with heather.

Summers are fun but I love the getting back in a routine stage. bedtimes, school, and activitys. I might be weird but I love having a set schedule so I don't have to feel like I have to entertain. Summer makes me Lazier!
If your wondering about pictures My camera took a crap and I lost alot of my pictures :( Good thing though my X in laws have pictures galore from disney land so relieved about that. And jeremy mom takes pictures so I think were covered. So just keep watching for the slide show.

BASKET CASE

So Jeremy and I were walking across the street and what did we find Belle and Fortune sitting in my laundry Baskets. Don't ask what they were watching because all they could see was an open field. I just thought it was cute they just sat there.
