OMG! How time flies! I can't believe it has almost been a year since my last post, and let me tell you, I have actually been that busy! But, it has been a wonderful year. I just thought I would give a quick synopsis of the last year and I promise I will try better to keep it updated with all the fun times!

These are some pictures we got taken at Mike's sister's wedding.

July brought.......potty training!
Mason's birthday (we didn't have a party but rented a bouncy house for the day and the kids loved, loved, loved it!)...........

Mason's dump truck cake (pat, pat, pat)

Westen's 1st smile.......



4th of July.

The month of June brought swimming lessons,.............
Softball.....................

and Saydee's birthday. I had to show a picture of her cake. (I am doing a little patting myself on the back. I thought it turned out so cute and the paint brushes are edible too!)



She didn't have a party this year, instead we went to the mall and she got to pick out a few things.

A better look at little Weston or "baby Westen" as Mason like to call him.
Saydee started a new class this year called showmanship, it is where she has to lead the horse on the ground. We had a rocky start in this class but she has done progressively better with each show.

What a pair!


Mason and Mike made their horse-show debut. They are in the lead-line class and are completely adorable!! There has only been one small incident where Mason fell off the horse. It was scary at the time, but he was fine and got right back on and finished riding in his class. What a cowboy!
Horse-show season in full swing.


Saydee after her dance recital - she looks a little worse for wear, but she had fallen asleep in the car on the way home and didn't want her picture taken.
3 peas in a pod!

Welcome to the world.....Westen Ronald Arave (we sometimes call him Westen Ronald Arave the 3rd, only because that name seems like it should have something like that after it and he's the 3rd child)


Decorating Easter eggs!

Saydee played a little basketball.

Christmas morning.....need I say more!
Mike and I went to Vegas with friends (Dustin and Kammi) for the NFR. Had a blast even though I was pregos! P.S. That is a non-alcoholic breverage in my hand. :)

Halloween! (Jasmin and Alladin)
