Out with the old...in with the new...

Sand that is! We finally dug out the horrible dirty free sand from the river bed and replaced it with new super awesome sand (I think I wanted it more than anyone lol). I love the texture of it and will spend my fair share of time playing in it. Jesse was sure proud and loved helping Dad get it in the sand box.

Happy Easter!

I can honestly say this was one of the best Easter's I have had in a long time. I had around 30 family members come to the farm and we had a blast. My sister's husband had a bunny suit and I dang near peed my pants laughing so hard. I grew up very close to my cousins. I think of them more like siblings and I am so grateful for the childhood memories that I have of them. I want them to know how important they are in my life and that my heart is filled when I am around them. Thinking of them brings that saying to mind..."We may not have it all together, but together we have it all"...not sure if that is how it goes, but you get the picture. I hope your Easter was enriched with gratitude for the amazing sacrifice our Savior endured for us to feel peace in our hearts. I love the gospel and what it has done for my family!

Jesse's Haircut...

No really, Jesse's haircut! Yep, we are getting our new family pic in a couple of weeks and he decided to take some cuts out of his hair. I've really been working on not worrying about the little mishaps, so I did not make a big deal out of it. I did finish it off...he looks much better with hair! I just had an idea...I will start giving him prenatal's lol!

James Farm Inc.

Not just a business, it's our way of life. This is what it is all about...Family! We are in the process of getting a website for the farm, so I thought I would share the picture. Pretty sweet hoodies huh...Ben designed them. Check out the website www.jamesfarminc.com I thought this would be fun for family and friends to see what we really do around here.

Can't help myself...

I know my husband hates when I put random strangers on my blog...but I seriously cannot contain myself from sharing this awesome pictures. I cannot tell you how much I loved this session. Beautiful people + awesome personalities + open minds = Masterpieces! Does this not make you want to be young again?

Horn Hunting

Since when does snow ruin a perfect horn hunting weekend? Not around here...bright and early Saturday morning we were getting ready for a day in the hills...not the OC if you know what I mean. The last three weekends Ben has spent waiting for these deer to drop their horns. He just knows that while he is looking at them through his binoculars they are going to fall off. Jesse and I were the only troopers to survive this trip. Could have done without bitter cold, but we had a good time anyway. Some may ask themselves...why is their son without shoes in the freezing cold? I have given up on shoes...and socks for that matter. I have spent countless dollars on socks and shoes and I seem to never know where they are...true story...but I really did have boots on him that day...he just took them off as soon as we got back to the truck. Don't take my children from me...I really do try to be a good mother lol

Only in Milford Utah

Okay, so I walked around the corner after hearing Ben tell the kids to plug their ears and this is what I found. I said "seriously?????" with a dumbfounded look on my face. After realizing that this was totally blog worthy, I grabbed my camera. He knew my intentions instantly...the exact words out of his mouth was "so you can make fun of me on the blog." You know you are a redneck when you shoot gofers out the window of your house! Nevermind the fact that my kids are always half clothed hehe.
