Planting A Garden

We finally have a garden! A friend of Rnady's and his family came over and helped us plant our first garden. The kids even got to plant purple and white carrots! It has been fun going out and watching new things pop up out of the ground. It will be a fun project for the kids and I this summer. Jaxyn has a few strawberries plants and can't wait till they grow fruit. Hatcher just likes playing in the dirt.

Summer Time!

We got out the slip n slide and the neighbors put up "Mauger Mountain". Jaxyn is always surrounded by boys, most of her friends are boys and all of the neighbors are boys but she seems to stay pretty girly with her shrill screams sliding into the cold water. Hathcher is so happy just to be part of it all. He is so sweet and is excited to try any new thing. He loves putting his face in the spray from the slip n slide and lets not forget his girly scream, thank goodness he has all those neighbor boys!

Wheatley Kids "COOL" over blow snake

It was a beautiful evening in Wendell Idaho when Randy Wheatley decided to play outside with his two kids. They enjoyed their normal routine of swinging, horse feeding and playing with the bunny, when Wheatley noticed a large blow snake in the yard. He pointed it out to the kids and sent Jaxyn to get his shovel. The kids watched as Randy cut its head off, then jaxyn helped rinse it off with the hose. Hatcher they youngest couldn’t stop saying “ssssss”. When they had it all cleaned up Jaxyn went in to get her mother. Britt repots, “I was shocked to see my two little angels thrilled about the recent kill.” Jaxyn told her mom, “This is so COOL!” Wheatley put the snake in the freezer and plans on helping Jaxyn skin it so she can put it on the back of her saddle. Jaxyn tells her mother that that’s what a real cowgirl would do. Jaxyn will have her first peewee rodeo barrel racing event Tuesday June 9th – Ye ha!

Stroller Rides

The kids love taking rides in the stroller! The longer the ride the better. Both Jaxyn and Hatcher like to go fast. Hatcher says "wee" when I jog. We are so happy summer is here.
