Vegas! Here We Come!

Hopefully not eveything that happens in Vegas, won'ts stay in Vegas. We are hoping to bring a little money home with us when we go.

We weren't going to go to the NFR this year, but Shaun quilified to rope in the World Series Team Roping Championship down there, which is the last week of the NFR. I'm am just as excited to go watch Shaun rope as he is to actually rope. To win the roping, it pays out $90,000 a man. Even if he gets 20th place (which is the last place they pay out) he will win more than his money back. I'm so proud of Shaun, he has come a long way this year. This summer wasn't his best, ok he didnt' do good at all. Then Septembet hit and he was on a roll. Hopefully he will keep that roll going through December. He has a really good partner heeling for him, so I'm not too worried. I know they will do their best.

So, if you are going to be down in Vegas December 10-13, give us a call and we can get together or come out to the South Point Cassin/Hotel and watch Shaun rope. I could use some company!!

Where Were You?

Today is the 7th anniversary of 9/11. Do you remember where you were? I do. I had gotten up at my apt and was getting ready to go up to morning classes at USU. I was listening to the radio and it came on and reported about what had happend. I didn't know if it was a joke or what. I didn't have TV because I had the cable turned off because I was getting married next week and getting ready to move. So, I hurried up and got ready and when to school early and got on the computers to find out what exactly happened. That is when the 2nd plan hit the other tower.
I remember Shaun not wanting to go on our honeymoon because he didn't want to fly. I told him to bad we were going.

Shaun and I had a friend back there that was suppose to go to the Trade Towers that day. Well come to find out plans changed and for some reason they ended up going the day before. They were being watched over and protected thats for sure. But do you ever wonder why some people were "lucky" and for some reason didn't get to work on time that day, but others weren't so "lucky"; that just goes to show that there is a plan for us that we don't know about and anything can happen at any time.

If remember what you were doing that day when you found out, write it down.
have a great day and keep those families that weren't so lucky in your thoughts and prayers.

Shelby & Sydney

Syndey's first day of Pre-school. She ended up being on the bus for almost 2 hours and on the way home and fell asleep. She didn't get off the bus until almost 5 pm. Hopefully by this week they will have all the bus routes figured out and she won't be on there that long. She is a mainstreamer at the Early Learning Center in Corrine. They send home a folder every night that says what they did and anything exciting or funny they did. Then we write down one thing that they did today . I really like it because it will be great to look back on and read when Sydney gets older.

Shelby loves to play in the cupboards. This day she decided that she would get in them and hide and start play peek a boo with mom and Sydney.

Playing in the mud

Shelby loves to play in the dirt. Whenever we are outside pulling weeds or watering flowers she is right there playing in it. This is the worst she ever got, I just had to take a picture. she was having so much fun.

Here are the girls in their Big Sister T-shirts announcing the arrival of baby wilkinson. Sydney kisses my tummy everynight when she is saying goodnight to everyone and says goodnight little brother, I love you. I sure hope it is a boy, because if it isn't she isn't going to like being called a boy.

Shelby points to my belly and says Baby, then she points to her's and says baby. it is funny.

Big Surpise

We are expecting again! I'm due February 22, 2009. I went to the doctor yesterday for my 1st check up and everything looked good. The baby was moving all over the place. Neither one of the girls ever did that at 12 weeks.

We are deciding if we should find out or not. Since this one is probably our last one I kind of want to, just to know what it is like knowing all that time. And especially if it is a boy I need to do some major preparing. Shaun and I have a very hard time agreeing on names so if we now what it is we only need to fight about one or the other not boy and girl names.

Sydney says it is definately a boy. She was right about Shelby so we will see.

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out the dimensions of the flag.

The 2002 Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.
