RENO

Quinn and I made a quick trip to Reno over the weekend to pick up a cnc machine so we can cut different things out of metal. Well, it was the longest trip of my life. One of the highlights of the trip was the Shoe Tree in East Gate. When you first see it, it looks like it is loaded with birds. The entire tree is full of shoes. AMAZING


Reno is my new favorite place. It has amazing shopping and still feels like a small town. Next time we will for sure fly.
I almost forgot about the FRENCH FRIES, they have the really thin cut fries and the only other place that we have found them was when we ate at Joey Tomato's when we were in Canada.

My "I" List

I saw this on Quinn's cousin's blog and thought it was great, so here goes.



I love it when you hear that song that just makes you happy.

I don't know if Mike knows what a crappy employee I am, I guess he's stuck with R and I.

I have some of the greatest friends/family, do anything for you no matter what.

I just know one of these days when I'm putting R in her car seat at the store, another car is going to pull up along side of us and smash my legs in the door.

I love going home and having my mom take care of my family.

I belive my neighbor, Mary, is wise beyond her years. She has amazing advice and always makes me feel better when my kid and house are a mess.

I wish I could spend more time with Jen and Lex, like we used to.

I'm a sucker for a SALE.

I can't wait to go shopping with my friends and sisters next weekend!!!!!

I don't have the Internet at my home.

From the patch to the porch.

Last night Brodie, Moniece, Colby, and Jack came up to carve pumpkins. We had fun and everyone's turned out wonderful. All the boys said they would rather clean a deer than a pumpkin so, Moniece and I had to clean all of them.

From L to R: Colby, Amanda, Moniece, Brodie, Quinn, and Jake's

R was more interested in the vacuum

Best week EVER!!!!

You know the kind of excited where you can not stop smiling and you can feel your heart beating? The last time I was that excited was probably the day I got engaged. Every time I looked at my ring I would light up with excitement. For Quinn it was last Saturday. I have NEVER seen him more happy in my life.
He shot a big buck on the run and I can only imagine the adrenalin with Brodie yelling "Kill him again" and Quinn trying to get another shot off.
It was 30" 3x4 and the biggest deer Quinn has ever shot, big enough that he wants to hang it down in his gun room in the basement or in the garage so that when people drive by they will be able to see it or more so that is where I want it hung ;)

that his wonderful wife gave him.


All in all it was a wonderful weekend. Mom took care of us like always, cooking and baking up a storm. Riley got to play with Hayes and see the cows and horses. We even got to see Lacy for a while, hope Cody if feeling better.
I doesn't get much better than a weekend at home.

Honey, this is for you.

You are your father's son, Love ya

Pumpkins

Last night we went to Paragonah to the pumpkin patch. It was cold but fun was had by all. We were the only ones crazy enough to go out in the cold so we didn't get a good family pic. Riley loved seeing the pumpkins and the deer.

The great elk hunt.

Quinn and Brodie took this week off work to hunt spike elk. They both got one but neither one thinks they need to come back to work, how would it be?

Its no spider elk, but it will get us through the winter!!!!

ELK

I love you!

I sure wish I could upload videos. Anyone know how?

I'm getting used to this single mom thing. With Q being gone to Alaska and then working in Page, we don't get to see him much. R and I went to the Western festival at the park to kill some time. We got to see the horses and ride in the little train. Someday I will talk Q into making one for us.

R was sooooo excited

Cedar Breaks

While Quinn was fishing in Alaska Riley and I went for a Sunday drive up to Cedar Breaks with Colby and Moniece.

Busy weekend

Well, we had a very busy weekend. On Friday we went to Strawberry for the Robinson family reunion. Riley had a blast playing in the sandbox and with her cousins.

Riley love to go for rides on anything that moves. Saturday Riley and I went to Wayne County for my cousin Lacey's wedding. It was at the old school house in Torey, it was amazing!

Sunday was cousin Brynn's 1st Birthday. She is such a great baby!

What a difference a year makes.

We braved the cold and went camping for Memorial Weekend.

Friday we had some friends come up and we had a party in the sheep wagon.

Saturday Nick came up on the four wheeler, can you say cold. The boys went fishing. That night the family came up for dinner, dutch oven chicken, mutton, potatos, and peach cobbler, it doesn't get much better than that.

We ended up going to Greenwich on Sunday and just staying there.

This was last year when we went camping.

Bath Fun

Half Marathon

I ran my first half marathon this weekend in Moab with Shalon, Jaime, and Teresa. It was an amazing weekend, we had so much fun. I ran it in 2hrs 20mins, nothing to brag about but, I'm just glad that I did it.
