On Thursday I went with Brinley on her little preschool field trip to Harmons grocery store. This Harmons is new store and it's really nice. It was a really short trip. We just got a little tour of the store and then we left, that's all!!!
The cupcakes are gorgeous
Chesnie is getting to big to fast. She had couple of Uh, Oh's this week. I put her on the couch sometimes in the morning to watch T.V. with Brinley and the other morning I sat her there for about 5 minutes and then I looked over and she was half way off the couch. I forget sometimes that she's not the tiny newborn any more that I want her to be! For the most part she is on the floor and I guess for now that's were she'll have to stay! 
She looks so long!
Last Wed. (3/18) we had a little baby shower for Natalie & baby Krew. We had dinner at my mom's house. It was a small group, it was just our family & Kit's family. We are all so excited to meet Krew. I want to wish Natalie Good luck & I love you tons. Let me know if you need anything!! I'm waiting for your call!!
Chesnie turned 8 months on Feb. 16th. She did a few new things, she got her ear pierced, her 2 bottom teeth started coming in (March 1), sat up in a shopping cart, & every day she tries harder & harder to be a big girl! She is obviously chubby & getting bigger every day. Chesnie is a little sweetheart, but she started stranger danger really bad. She doesn't like anyone, but Me, Luke, Alex, & Brinley. She even cries if someone looks at her. Hopefully it ends sooner then Brinley's did cause she was like that up until about 6 months ago or so. It's hard when it comes to leaving Chesnie cause I know all she'll do is cry so I usually just don't leave her. But at least for me she's a little angel!! 
Last Monday night (3/9) we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse for Elise's B-Day. It was just us Gals (Me, Elise, Natalie, & my Mom). No kids, No husbands, just us! It is so nice to go alone sometimes. Not having to worry about keeping kids entertained and the craziness of having all of our kids. It was really nice just being able to sit and eat and just talk. We need to do it more often! Happy B-Day again Elise!!!
On Sunday night after we left Luke's parents house we went over to Elise's for a big March Birthday Party. It was Elise's actual birthday, but also we were celebrating Ryan (Ian's Bro) 3/9, Drake 3/10, (Megan's boyfriend) 3/13, & Sydnee's was 2/11 so she was thrown in with the bunch too! We just ate cake and they opened presents. It looked like x-mas. It's always a good time with my family. Happy Birthday Everyone!!!
Happy Birthday to you!!!
Me & the Birthday Girl
On Sunday we went over to Luke's parents house for a family goodbye dinner for Katie. Ian (Katie's husband) joined the Air Force and they're going to be living in Spokane, WA for a while. Katie will be missed. But we have to remember it's not Goodbye it's See Ya Later!!! I hope everything goes well for them!

On Feb. 26th I took Chesnie to the mall to get her ears pierced. It started out good. Natalie, Broox, Christina & her kids all met us there. The kids went on the carousal and we ate dinner, then headed over to Icing. When we walked in it was a guy that was doing the piercing and I didn't want to judge him just cause he was a guy. Alot guys are just as good as girls. He talked like he knew what he was doing so I trusted him. But right before he started Chesnie dropped her binky and it was no where to be found. I should have known that she was trying to tell my something. It was a sign! He did the left ear first and totally missed the dot. I was not happy. Then moved to the right and got it perfect. I looked at it really good and Natalie noticed to that it was not right. The left was way to high and really close to the inside of her ear. The guy was trying to tell me that to him it looked even and once the swelling went down it would be even, but no I said , it's way off. So he said go home, take it out and come back in a couple of days after it's closed up and they would re-do it for free. And I thought of course you'll do it for free but your not doing me a favor by having to bring my poor baby in to put her through that again. I was not HAPPY!
I look like I was crying in this picture. I actually really wanted to!
Not Happy!!!
Well at least we got one right!!!
She was so HAPPY to be home!! 
ROUND 2
Feb. 20-22 we went to Moab for the U.S. Team Roping Championships. As everyone knows Luke loves to rope, so he goes were it goes, well for the most part mainly just in Utah. Most of the time he goes alone, but we thought it would be fun to go with him as a family this time. We also brought Payton along for Alex. We had an okay time, Moab is not a very happening place to be. It was just nice to go for the weekend and take the kids some where. But Luke didn't win anything and Payton & Alex both got thrown off the horse and got hurt, Alex actually got thrown off twice. Alex & Payton realized it's tought living a cowboy life!!! But they said they loved every minute of it!! I pretty much hung out at the hotel with my girls and hung out with my friend Christina, she is Luke's friend Russ' wife. Christina & I are "Ropin Widows Together!" They went to rope for the weekend too. I probably won't be making any trips to Moab again any time soon!!!
On Sat. night we went to the hotel pool. Chesnie & I didn't swim. I had to make sure none of the kids did this!!!
I thought this was funny, the horse was digging a hole like a bored little kid while he was waiting for Luke to load him in the trailer.
Luke will not hold still to take picture, but I took a couple anyway.
On the way home we stopped and ate at Burger King. Chesnie had her first french fry & loved it!
Payton & Brinley sleeping on the way home!
