And the Award for Worst Blogger Ever goes to....ME!

So here comes a few more months of what we
have been doing compiled into one huge post! I really
would pretty much give up blogging at this point if
it wasn't for me trying to scrapbook through my blog. But
I really am going to try and be better. :) We have
been keeping busy in K Town. It is so nice to be
away from freaking cold Cedar City! The warm weather
of K Town is a good change. We have done a lot of fun
things this fall and Anna is growing like a weed. It
really makes me sad that she is not my little baby
any more. She cracks us up every day. I thought that
this pic of Clayt when he was a freshman was perfect.
He is is coaching Kanab's freshmen basketball team this
year and they had tryouts today. He is loving it so far
Hard to believe this little Frosh is now the coach!


He has also been able to go out and call some 'yotes in
with Sammy. Sammy called it in within 15 yards of Clayt
and Clayt took em down. Here is a pic of their trophy. :)

Anna almost broke her ankle a couple weeks ago. She was
climbing a newspaper stand at Stage Stop and it fell on her
ankle. It was so heavy I couldn't even lift it off of her. We
thought it was broken but after some x rays we found out
it wasn't. Still, she wasn't able to walk for a week and she
is still limping now. It was weird to have our crazy
Anna B actually sit on the couch for an entire week. So
sad.

Here is a pic of her foot... the pic doesn't do it any justice
for how swollen it really was.

Anna still loves her chickens. Whenever Grandma Jill

watches her, they go collect eggs and this chicken always

comes up to Anna. They love each other.

Anna also got her hair chopped off! We were shopping

in Wal-Mart one night and we got a wild hair to

chop Anna's! It is so cute and makes her look so much

older. I was scared to chop it but it turned out really cute.

Halloween was a blast! We were lucky to have the

Staheli fam come down and hang with us in Kanab. Gracie

was so cute to help Anna walk around. She could only limp

if Gracie wouuld hold her hand. They were darling.

A few weeks ago we went up to Gardner Village to

see all the witches. Anna loved it! Everytime we saw

a witch she would say "photo time". She is getting

the hang of these blogging moments.

Here is our official Halloween pic. Clayton had to work

so he is in his Houston's gear but I am my father-in-law

Roger. It is sort of an inside joke but if anyone knows

Roger very well you would get it. He wears this

sweater, hat and shorts daily and is always drinking

a rock star. Cando and I had too much fun dressing

me up as Rog. Anna was the cutest little skeleton.

She wanted to be a skeleton...not a princess

or anything cutsie...a skeleton. But we loved it.

Poor lil girl couldn't walk so we had to borrow

Grandma Jill's wagon to take her around trick

or treating.

Rog & Ghostbuster. :)

Grandma & the cutest kids ever.

Gracie & Anna

Isn't she the sweetest. :)

I loved her hair. Cutest little witch.

My little skeleton. Love her.

Hottie Hubby.

Finally, we were able to take our first official

family vacation to DISNEYLAND the beginning

of October. We had the time of our lives and

hopefully it is something Anna never forgets.

Clayt & I went there on or Honeymoon and it

was sweet to take Anna back with us. She really

had so much fun!

Here are some pics of Anna the night before we went

to the park. She is our little diva. She really has the

funniest little attitude. I love it. I would never

ever change her. :)

This is Anna the morning of going to Disneyland. She woke up

before us and we found her standing in the window of the

hotel looking out at the park. It was priceless. She

was so dang excited. We had so much fun. We rode pretty

much every ride possible. Anna started crying when we found out

she was too small for splash mountain. She really wanted

to go on that one but we took her mind off of it with

other things. It was definitely a trip we will never forget. :)

Anna & Daddy @ IHOP right before Disneyland.

So Clayton really spoiled his lil girl and bought her

pretty much everything she wanted. Which included

this Minnie Mouse luggage. I have no idea why

she wanted this luggage but she did and Clayt could not

tell her no. It was so cute. She wanted to cart it everywhere

after we bought it. So darling.

Well I hope you liked all our pics. I will try and be better. I promise!

Quarter of a Century Old

The pictures above are some cute pics my dad took. My

parents cameout to visit in August and my dad was able

to snap somegood ones of lil miss Anna. The last one is

of my beautiful mommy.I had to post it. I can't believe

Summer has come and gone. We have been so busy.

Anna did a little cheer camp which I thought she would

have ate up and loved. But to my surprise... she hated it! Haha. I

posted a video of her cheer. She is still my little cutie. The pics

crack me up. For some reason she just was not into it. But she

still does all her KHS cheers 24/7. The other pics are of Anna &

Grandma Jill's chickens. She loves them. She loves to go collect

the little eggs and knows all their names. I loved all of these

pics. Good job Dad. Way to go. :)
In other news... I'm officially an old woman. I turned 25

on 09/09/09. !! Being that it was such a lucky day... Clayt

took me to Vegas and we stayed two nights. It was

SOO nice to have a little vacation away from work and

be alone with Clayt. We ate and shopped. It was perfect.

It was also our 5 year anniversary in August but being

that the fire season kinda gets in the way...we weren't

able to celebrate it. But we decided to cram in my

birthday and anniversary into one. I can't believe

we have been married five years. It seems like

yesterday we were moving into Kensington apts

just barely married. Now we are entering our

sixth year together, almost two kids and I'm 25.

(Not to mention Clayt is almost 28... haha)

Anyway... I don't think I have officially posted

but everyone knows I'm pregnant. I'm due

March 10 and I am 16 weeks pregnant. I thought

for sure I was having a boy this entire time. But

I had an ultrasound tonight and it looks like I

am having another lil girl! I have to admit I was

a little bummed at first to not get my boy but

I can't wait for our little girl to arrive.

Anna B started preschool this month! She is

getting so old. She is in Miss Angie Castagno's
preschool with Halle Hawkins and loves it!

Miss Angie is such a good teacher...

So here are a bunch of random pics of what

we have been up to in no particular order.

Our Vegas Anniversary. 5 years. I love this boy.

We have been doing a ton of hunting lately. Clayton had an archery

tag so every spare minute we were out hunting. Clayt took me

and Anna along quite a bit this year. It was so much fun. Anna is

a little natural hunter. She even fell asleep on the four wheeler

once. We bought her own bow! She had to have it. She is such a good

sport for being a 3 year old.

Anna's first day of preschool!

Anna right before school. :)

This was her initial outfit but then she spilled coke all over

her shirt... thus the second outfit. :)

Random camping pics.

I love my lil fam.

Baby Steps...

Well.. I don't know if anyone even checks
my blog still but I have decided to take
baby steps back into the blogging world.
I finally have had some time to post pics
of our eventful lives! Beware...these pics
go clear back to Anna's birthday. I'm a l
ittle behind. But I can't not post my lil
woman's birthday pics...? Right? Life has
been crazy for us and I just want to say
how grateful (greatful?) I am for good
friends. You know the saying you find
out who your friends are... well I have
definitely found out who mine are and
feel so blessed and lucky to know such
great people. You know who you are. :)
We are living it up in K Town and actually
enjoying ourselves for the most part.
Life is pretty laid back in Kanab but
we like that for now. We pretty much
live for 32 Cent Tuesdays at Stage and
a lil Escobar's every now and then. Okay
well enough blabbing. I have spent the
past week catching up on everyone's blogs.
I love seeing what everyone is up to and
miss all of you old friends that are on to
bigger and better things. I'm still blabbing.

A couple weekends ago Clayt & I decided
to head up North for a change...
(we always go South it seems.. Vegas,
George,Mesquite!) We made a nice stop
at Cabellas and hit up and a few malls.
We took Anna to the place Clayton took me
when we were very first dating. The
Good Ole Mayan. We knew Anna would
love it... primarily because she is 1/8 Mexican
so it is in her blood but also because the
atmosphere is so fun for kids. She of course
was memorized and loved it. We just
love seeing her happy.

Me & Neens at dinner.

Clayt & Banana.

Watching the show... they loved it!

This pic cracks me up. This is how Anna thought she was going to sit

the entire way up to SLC. She was just vegged out with her Sprite...

Iphone and headphones. My teenager in the making.

C O Y O T E C A L L I NG!

So Clayt & I have been doing a little calling

lately. He has made me his new calling

buddy and it is my new favorite thing.The first time

he took me I died laughing. It was hilarious

just hearing him make the rabbit call sounds

in the silence of the wilderness as we just hide

out in a little tree. He was mad that I was

laughing... but I am now officially serious

and don't make a sound. Even walking there! We

went calling a few weeks ago and took my brother & his

girlfriend. And we even took ANNA!. Haha. We didn't

know how she would do but she didn't want us to leave her...

She was the cutest... and we even called in a bear... we think.

Another story.

Professional Coyote Hunters.... not a member of the infamous wolfpack but

we try still the same!

Anna and her call.

Daddy :)

Andrea Gilberg talked me into somehow getting up at 6:30 AM

and running the FUN RUN with her. I was surprised to see

all the girls that showed up but it actually was pretty

refreshing and fun! Who would have thought! Andrea

and I pushed each other and had a good ole time. It was nice

to have that girl home. :) We got third in our division! Woot Woot!

I stole this pic from her too . :)

My little 4th of July baby.

Gracie & Anna. They are darling. Love em.

I got to see my friend Charlene over the 4th and her new little baby.

It's so weird to see everyone grow up and become mothers. It's a

new side of Char that I like. Char, Rams & me took a little friend pic.

I love these girls. Seems like yesterday we were roaming the

city park scouting for boys to watch fire works with. Now

we are all there with our kids and husbands on separate blankets.

So weird. :)

C U T L E R C L A S S I C!

We had our annual golf tourney the Cutler Classic. It

was mine and Clayt's turn to host it because we won

last year. We had pretty much the awesomest shirts

that have ever been made made.. and had a blast!

Roger & Chan brought home the title but Clayton & I

were a distant third. We missed the newly married

G LOVes... but hopefully they show up next year.

Hardcore golfers. I actually kicked butt this year. Clayton

used like four of my shots. Huge improvement from last

year...

Me and Canadian Province. We rocked Mt Carmel.

The White Tiger Woods.

The ladies. :)

A N N A B's T H I R D B I R T H D A Y

This year for Anna's birthday she wanted to have a pool

party. So we rented out the Kanab City pool and had a little

ice cream and cake at the park before. We were so lucky

to have a lot of our friends in town and had a blast. Thanks

for coming everyone. :) It was raining so bad right before

her party but it miraculously cleared up right on time.

We were so lucky.

Anna was set on a Sponge Bob Cake. I'm not creative enough

to make my own cakes like all you super moms out there.

So i took her to the good ole Food Town Deli and this is

what she picked out. How could I refuse?

Anna and all her little friends... Cydnee Castagno, Gracie Staheli,

Josie Hawkins, Trey Castagno, Emilie Gilberg and Hallee Hawkins.

Anna got a new bike for her b-day and loves it! She

just whips around.

My little Rams and Lat.

Our friends... love em.

Pool party!

Can Can and the Mikester.

Anna riding her bike home from her pool party!

She was so pumped. We have rode that bike

all summer to the pool. She loves it. :)

Group photo. It was a blast.

Emmy & Anna.

Coming SOON!

Coming Soon... an update!

Clayt's Grad, Vegas & Camping!

He did it! My husband has him some edumacation. I know we haven't
posted in awhile but things have been pretty crazy. Things are
finally settlin and I had a chance to post. We are moving out of Cedar
this week and it is very sad. Anna has never lived in another house besides
our Sunset Ridge home. She started bawling today when Clayt told her
we were moving. She said she doesn't want to move. She told Clayt to
"call the people and tell them not to move in to our house". It was way
sad. But I guess that is life. :( We are still contemplating some big decisions
as far as where we are going to live for the next year. I guess you will
have to wait for the update on that one. We still don't know ?!?!? Clayt
has a good job waiting for him in Texas but we also have Houston's wanting
us to come work for them. Who knows...what will happen? Anyway...
here are a few pics of what we have been up to. Love you all!

Clayt's family came and supported him. Minus Casey... for some reason

she thought she was better than this. Haha.

Our fam after Clayt received his diploma. Anna was beat. So tired...

Walking up on the stage...hottie. When the grad was all said and done, Grandma Lydia offered to take

Lil Anna while we went for a night in Mesquite. We had all you can eat steak

instead of crab and I might have to say it is my new fav.... It was

an awesome little getaway for us.On our way home we stopped and took a pic of the Chums sign

for our good friend Trevor Lee Glover. He is bringing sexy back

with the Chums.Anna was happy to see us after our trip. Love her.Clayt and I have been wanting Iphones forever. Last minute

we decided to just get them. Graduation money comes in handy.

Thanks Rog & Lydia. Yes....This is my new baby. My hot pink Iphone... Life can't be better.

Case, me & Chami. (haha..inside joke) It's actually Tami.... Chan's

new item. But I always call them Tan and Chami on accident.

We went on a little camping trip a few days ago for Mother's day. It was

so fun to be in the hills.

Me & Tone in our Cowboy trailer.

Anna always has to go potty. At least 373847 times an hour. I'm not even kidding.

She is getting pretty good at just dropping her pants though. I didn't raise

a priss!

And last but not least here is a little video of Clayt & Anna getting down.

Clayt is going to be so mad that I posted it but it was too funny. Anna had

been dancing forever and wanted her dad to join in... he really has some

sweet moves...

Mermaid!

So a couple of you who know I got hair
extensions have been asking for pics and
I thought I would post a few that were from
my phone before our long Easter break.
It has been a crazy month but we are still
alive and kicking. Kristie Swindlehurst
is an amazing hair dresser and I love her.
She did such a great job. Anyway... the
quality on these pics are kinda crappy but
they are cell phone pics. I will post more pics
after Easter!

Going Private

I know I did this before.... but I really am going private this time.
Sorry for the trouble. If anyone would like to continue looking at
our blog please leave me your email address. :) Thanks.
