Pro Rodeo





Here are some pictures of our first rodeo! We got some free tickets and decided to take our oldest daughter on a "date." It was lots of fun - I had never been to a rodeo either! Ella is turning out to be quite the cowgirl!

My babies

My husband Kevin of 7 years. Been an item for 11 years - yikes! Hard to believe that! He is still just trying to get use to the fact that he is the only male in the house! 2 girls, a mother-in-law and I have 3 sisters that are forever "just stopping by." He is a good man, with paitence galore!
Here are my girls with grandma - Ella loves spending time with her grandma at her home in Wynyard. Grandma spending half her time here with us makes for very special bonds!

Here is a glimpse into my life right now. My Ella Gray - who goes by many names - Ellie Smellie, Elle, Shirley (for Shirley Temple), Curly and the list goes on. That hair - we have already had some good fights - all I want to do is brush your hair - forget the really cute bobbles to put in it! Yes, her hair is a separate entity all it's own.






My sweet Olivia - named her after my childhood idol - Olivia Newton-John. I don't care what anybody thinks! Lets just say I had to convince my husband! I sweetened the deal by using his dad's name for Olivia's middle name - Bryce. He passed away a couple of years ago.
