The Bull Sale

Every year in April (during conference weekend) The Perkes Family gets together for the Bull Sale. John's Grandfather owns Perkes Hereford Ranch is Star Valley, Wyoming. Every year we all meet for the sale of the Herefords. It has been tradition for many years. It's kinda a big deal. It's like Christmas for the Perkes'. It's really neat to watch the auctioneer do his thing! Ashlyn was upset because I wouldn't let her near the gate to ride the "cow". Adrianna also felt the need to run up to the gate to pet the "cow".
John and I enjoying the bull sale lunch.
Ashlyn had a lot of fun exploring and playing with her cousins.
Adrianna wore her pink cowboy boot for the occasion. She too had fun running around and getting dirty!
The kids met a new friend while we were there. Ashlyn now wants a puppy!
After the bull sale we all gather at Dana's Place (a reception center) to eat dinner and celebrate all the children's birthday. This year John's cousin's husband brought his DJ equipment. We all enjoyed our self. Grandpa Perkes proved to be quiet the dancer! Also I amazed everyone with my hidden talent for the limbo (bet you didn't know that about me). All in all we had a fun time and look forward to next year!

Annuale

Ladies, this is pretty hilarious, I laughed so hard I cried.

Happy Easter

The girls really enjoyed Easter this year. Adrianna looks mad in this picture because she wanted to wear her dress and Ashlyn's dress to church. They made a haul and of course we are all still on a sugar buzz. On Saterday we had a lovely dinner with the Perkes Family. Aside from the fact that I choked on a piece of prime rib all the while my life flashing before my eyes until my father-in-law did the heimleck and saved me (shot out to Phil, thanks!) we had a lovely day :) Sunday we had a lovely dinner with the Pierce family(no major trauma there). It is so nice to have both families so close. We really enjoy the time we spend with them!

My Rock Hero!

Ashlyn seriously makes me laugh! She totally digs Guitar Hero and rock band. She begs and pleads to play. She really gets into it. She even says "rock on" after a song is done. The other night John and his buddy Steve where playing Rock Band and of course Ashlyn was right there strumming along.

Cereal Anyone?

Today my lovely husband text me saying that Kellogs cereal was .25 cents at Albertsons. I thought back to the days when we were newleyweds and couldn't resist the Albertson's cereal deal, I mean come on it's .25 cents. So John came home and had bought 22 boxes of cereal! Anyone up for a cereal party?

So Sleepy

Ashlyn loves to draw and color. Give her a pen and some crayons and she will be entertained for hours. The Magna Doodle is at the top of her list! John went to check on her in the middle of the night. He pulled back the covers and there she was with a death grip on the Magna Doodle pen, open mouth and all.

Best Buddies

It's so nice to have these two so close! They are the best of friends. Adrianna gets sad at night if she can't sleep with her sissy. They make me laugh!
