Snake in our closet!!

So the other night I was doing laundry and went in to get some hangers in our closet. My robe was on the floor so I hung it up and as I went to walk out saw this snake in our closet! I think I almost crapped my pants. It started to go behind my shoes so I called Ty to see when he would be home. Ya he was still 20 min away. He told me to stand guard and make sure it didn't get out. I was sitting on my vanity talking to him and the snake popped its head our between my pants! I ran and jumped on my bed saying about every swear word possible like it was really going to get me!lol I really didn't want my kids knowing in case of nightmares. Well needless to say Hannah came in to see what was going on and was like " Oh Mom I'll get it. You dont need to be scared". She insisted Kolton go get there creature house( A Styrofoam cooler) that she puts crickets or the lizard she caught the other day in. To bad she was bummed when my response was uhh NO! Needles to say Ty got home trashed my closet getting it. Right before he started to get it Kolton told him "Dad don't make me sh*t in my pants". Really it looked a lot bigger behind all my shoes. Here is a pic of the little guy.

First Day of School

School started Early out here on 8/10. Hannah didn't have the greatest experience last year at this school so I was hoping that it wouldn't be a struggle for school this year. Lucky us she has an amazing teacher Miss Liska and absolutely loves school again! To bad we will only be here another 2 months. They have these lovely uniforms they have to wear(I hate). They have the option between a grey shirt and a bright yellow shirt. This is one of the things I'm looking forward when we move, no more uniforms. Here is my grown up baby on the first day of 2nd grade.

Demolition Derby

While we were in Wyoming they had a demolition derby. The kids and I have never been to one so we thought why not! My sister Natalie was just getting into town so she brought Trevor and came. It was a blast! They had the demo derby and two other events. One of the events was quite comical to watch. There was two people on the four wheeler and the back person had a balloon on their head and a foam sword that they would have to pop the other opponents balloons. The car the kids routed for ended up winning so they were very excited!

Wyoming Trip

Wyoming Trip

So the kids and I took off for 12 days to Wyoming. I have always gone since I was a little girl in the summers and have been back every year with my kids. This year was fun but we sure missed Ty being there. We broke the drive up there into two days. The first night we drove to Provo and then the next day met up with my sis-inlaw in Spanish Fork for Pioneer day parade. I don't think I have ever seen a longer parade! We drove into Montpelier, Id the next day to see my Grampa before we headed on over to the ranch. He really looked awesome but wish he could have been home with us. I took the kids golfing quite a bit. Hannah did very well she Double bogied a par 3 and was able to hit it over the pond on one hole. We went on bike ride/walks every night. The weather was sooo nice. The kids convinced Gramma to go on the bumper boats! Hannah told her " Come on Gramma didn't you know it's all about having fun". We decided that we would make the 11 hour trip back in one day and surprise Ty. I thought I was doing good on time and forgot to make a turn in Heber. Needles to say I went about 40 miles the wrong way before turning around. I was in full out tears 1 because I wanted to just get home and 2 because my gas light came on and I still had 30 miles to Heber. Luckily it we were going down the mountain so I through it in natural and some how made it back. We met Ty at work around 9. The kids were so excited to surprise him.
