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.

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. :)

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.
