July!

JULY=FUN and Busyness!

July is almost over and I haven't even blogged about all the fun we've been having. Since I'm really good at forgetting my camera; I have very little/no pics to show for the fun!

June 31-July 1 Gma and Gpa Pehrson and Keegan and Lexie came to stay with us. We had a pretty good time! It pretty much rained the whole time but it was fun trying to keep the kids entertained. Jo loves her cousins!
July 2- My little sister got married! Yes that's right, She's now any Old Married Women! They had a little family wedding and then headed to Texas. (her hubby is going to school down there!) We sure miss them but they seem very happy! We're crossing our fingers that they are able to transfer up here, but if they don't I guess now I have excuse to take a little vacation to TX! Welcome to the family Brandon!
July 4th weekend- Delta celebrations. We watched the great parade of derby cars and tractors, went to the derby to watch Uncle Kjell's purple truck get smashed, fireworks after the derby and enjoyed the weekend with Gma and Gpa Pehrson.
July 8- Miss Jo decided she was Walking Miss Jo. No more finger grabbing for her, she's a big girl!
July 8 and 9- We took Miss Jo to the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo and she loved it! She kept yelling yaaaaaahhh and clapping her hands. She also had her first sleep over at Gma Mathews' house... alone! That's right we got a full night of sleep! As for my parents, I don't think I can say the same.
July 22- We went to a Bee's game in SLC. It was pretty fun! the Bee's needed alittle help but we had AWESOME seats enjoyed the drunk lady yelling at the batter.... HEY BATTER, BATTER, BATTREEERR! Yep, now thats a good time!
July 23- Longhorn days! We only went to the parade but it was pretty cute. Rylan and her friend dressed up in their mermaid fins and won 1st place in the parade. They looked pretty cute! That afternoon we packed up the horses and went for a ride around Moon Lake. Miss Jo did pretty well until the last little bit and she fell asleep... My arms were just a little sore from holding her on Mr Peppy. He knew he was headed home so he jigged down the mountain.
And this weekend on July 30 we are going to have a little parthy for Miss Jo's Birthday! Cody's family is coming to town and I wanted them all to be here for her birthday...

The only pics I have to show for this month are the ones of her one year old photo shoot on the 8. I can't believe how much she has changed since the first of this month... Here you go Quinc!

Recognize this saddle? It was Grandpa Brent's when he was little!

She's so CUTE, Isn't she!?!

I do believe....

I do believe we have a WALKER!
That's right... She's walking!
This morning she walked from our bedroom, into the living room and then into the kitchen!

Way to go, Miss Jo!

Last night we took her to the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo in Vernal, and she loved it. She's clap her hand for the riders and really liked the barrel racers. Yep, she's our little cowgirl.

ALSO yesterday, we had her pictures taken for her birthday and they turned out soooo cute! We had Sharlie Fitzgerald in Bridgeland take them this time and she did an awesome job. She has so many cute props and ideas! Go check her out, www.sharssnapshots.com/blog/

Here's a preview: (I'll post the rest later!)

She LOVED the cake! She was kind of being a little pill until she pulled out that cake...

11 Month Old Dallie Jo

As of TODAY, Miss Jo is 11 months old!

What is this? Next month REALLY Can't be her BIRTHDAY!

AWE! 

New things:

- Loves to give kisses, But not really a fan of receiving them. This might be because the little boy that lives by us loves to give hugs, and one day he was giving her a hug and just reached up and bit her nose.. OUCH!

-Crawls/Walks everywhere and leaves a path of distruction.

-Loves ALL animals. She really likes Sadie Dog, but Sadie doesn't really like her!

-Surprisingly enough, she doesn't like her bath any more. Unless you let her stand up the whole time.

-She's our little veggie eater! She likes all veggies: peas, corn, aprigrass(I don't know how to spell that!), broccoli... (That's about all we've let her try)

-She's really good at moving cows. She yells, flaps her arms and rides like a TRUE COWGIRL!... YEAH! That's my girl! Some times she forgets that we're not moving cows at church!

-Newest smile = Showing off her teeth! She has two on the bottom and one of her vampire fangs coming in.

I can't believe she's turning one next month.

She's no longer a baby, but my little Toddler babe!

Summer lovin!

Summer has come to the Uintah BASIN!

Yeah! Finally after the longest winter E.V.E.R. it finally feels like summer is here.. Forget about spring! The weather was so nice this last week, we even got out to do a little swimming.

Or should I say... Skinny Dippin; more like Chunky Dunkin!

This is her new smile... always just cheesing it up!

By the end... all the water was in her diaper whiched weight probably 5 pounds!

Moving Cows

Yesterday we went and helped my Grandpa Brent move some of his cows.

We have such a great time helping him and learning from him and Dallie Jo is learning too.....

Grandpa Great and Dallie Jo in Ace

I'll drive Grandpa! 

Rock picker, I mean EATER! 

Cody and Trigger,

Cody has him going so good!

Not really into pictures! ha ha

LOVE YOU... 

Miss Jaxie Dawn even got into the fun!

Seriously, Dallie Jo was all smiles

The. Whole. Time.

She rode most of the time, and the other time she was picking up rocks and playing on the nice and dirty floor boards of the truck. Grandpa Brent is a really good babysitter! She didn't quite make it to the field to put the cows away, she fell asleep in my arms just a little ways from the field.  Good old Gypsy rocked Dallie right to sleep!

And in church today, she showed off her yelling voice in sacrament. She wasn't mad, just teaching the other kids how to yell at the cows. Good thing we can't understand her words yet, they might be a little naughty! haha

And just yesterday Dallie Jo picked up on the rolling part of paddy cake.

So she now looks like she is going to box someone, We're constantly asking her to PUT EM UP! PUT EM UP!

Happy Pics

Just some pictures that make me Happy!

CUTEST Pajamas EVER! 

She's a little Cheeser! 

Seriously, such a ham! Just cheesing it up!

I LOVE MY BABY JO!

PS, she was pulling all my hair out! ha ha

Kanab, UT

Here are some more pics of our little trip to Kanab, UT/Fredonia, AZ to pick Cody's colt.

Its not secret that Dallie Jo loves popsicles! As we were watching Cody ride his horse, we had alittle treat that ended up being a HUGE Mess! But she sure loved it!

Nice and CLEAN! 

And this pictures shows her little attitude! She was too tired to know what we wanted. Pretty funny picture though!

I think its probably time for another little get away...

Any Suggestions?

We were thinking Jackson Hole, WY?! Maybe...
