Eventful week..

For labor day weekend me and my roommates and 2 other friends went of the Cat Walk in Glen Wood NM it was so fun.. the weather was perfect for hiking 3 miles up the mountain.. it was nice and cool sprinkled a little.. but the water was freezing.. then after that we went to eat cuz we were all terribly starving and i kid you not it took exactly an hr to get our food.. it was the pits.. and not once did they come and refill our drinks it was the worse place in the world and they deffinately did not get a tip.. but other then that we all had a blast.. Sherry fell off a rock and scraped and bruised her knee.. kensie walked up to the waterfall and hurt her ankle.. and Kerry and Kasey both got sick when we got home.. i was the only one that didnt have anything wrong.. which i Extra Surprsing..

CHANCEY IS GETTING TO BIG!!!!

The other day Brianne was getting ready to take Chancey to the babysitters.. so she put him in his car seat and shut the door. but she didnt buckle him and she had to run inside real fast to get something.. when she got back to the car she went to open the door.. and the doors were locked.. so of course as a mother and her child is locked in the car and he has the spare keys she is going to panic... he kept pressing the lock button but not once did he press the unlock button.. so she called kevin at work and asked him to come help so he did but it took him awhile to get there cuz he works in town.. and in between the time he was getting there and brianne was panicing.. chancey had sat on the consel and fell backwards and his legs were above his head and couldnt move and he cried and cried for about 15 mins before they got the door unlocked..

Our little COWBOY

Chancey is that the stage where he thinks he can do stuff that we can.. which sometimes he can but most of the time it just turns out to be a huge disaster... he tries so hard to be like his dad which sometimes can be a horrible thing... he loves wearing his cowboy hat and watching his dad rope..

60's BABY

You Belong in 1965

You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.

What Year Do You Belong In?
