More Family Pictures

So I said that I would put up some more of our family pictures once I received them so here they are. Sorry I included so many but we don't have our family pictures taken as often as I think we should and I am just so excited that these turned out so good. At least I think they turned out good. There not so perfect poses and that's what I love about them.

Family Pictures

Last Saturday, Me, Bradyn, Peyton and Houston along with my brother and sister in-law, Hadley and Haylee and their 2 kids, Preslie and Colter went up Butterfield Canyon to have our family pictures taken by Lindsay Wright Photography. I was worried that the leaves might not have changed color yet but we knew we wanted to do it last Saturday because the weather was so nice. Well as you can see from the pictures, the leaves had definately changed color. We were extactic! I think Lindsay did a really great job with the pictures. She even got some really cute ones of the kids.

I got these pictures off of Lindsay's blogspot at http://lindsaywrightphotography.blogspot.com/. We should have the disk with all the pictures by this Saturday, but I couldn't wait to post some of the cute ones she had on her site aleady. You should check her site out, she does really great work and you will be able to see some of Hadley and Haylee and their kids pictures as well. When I get the rest of the pictures I will post some more.

A New Do for Peyton and Houston's 1st Cut

This last Friday I took Peyton in for a hair cut. I was sick and tired of her mop and wanted something different. For a long time I have wanted to cut her hair into a bob but was worried because her hair was so curly as a baby and is still really wavey that if I cut it short it would turn into an afro.

Well this is how it turned out. It still has a little wave in the front but for the most part I am pleased.

Houston already needed a trim around his ears but when I got there we decided to clean up the back and the top a little bit. He looks like a little man now. I can't believe how a little hair cut made him look so much older.

Uncle Jason will be proud of this picture since he gave Houston this shirt. It says "Don't You Wish Your Mommy Was HOT Like Mine?". I don't agree with the saying especially since I still have about 10 pounds to go before I reach my pre pregnancy weight.

I took the kids to a place called Cookie Cutters. They specialize in kids cuts and if you haven't taken your kids there I highly recommend it. It is so cute. They have this large slide/play area to entertain the kids while they wait for their turn. Then they let them pick out a movie to watch while sitting in either a car, a plane or a tractor. After their cut they receive a balloon and a sucker.

This picture has nothing to do with the kids getting their hair cuts but it is just so darn cute that I had to share.

Rodeo Finals in Heber

This last summer Bradyn steer wrestled in some of the local rodeos and made enough money to qualify for the Rocky Mountain Pro Rodeo Association (RMPRA) finals in Heber which were held last Friday, September 12th and Saturday, September 13th nights. He did pretty well. He tied for second Friday night and had a steer that just wouldn't fall on Saturday night but still ended up fourth in the average. His steer wrestling horse, Ostertag, has been working good all year for him.

Peyton and Houston with Grandpa Brent and Grandma ReNae at the rodeo. The clown gave cousin Preslie the scarf that Peyton's wearing around her neck. She was pretending that she was a clown.
