Party Up North

 So I am a serious slacker and  haven't blogged for awhile, and I apologize but I am going to make it up in the next few days. These last few weeks have been packed with some fun things.  Our first fun thing we did was we took our last trip to Canada just me and Riley.  Next time we go up we will have a baby. :)  It has been a little bit since we have been up there just because of our school and work schedules, so we were glad we could go up before the baby was born.  Riley really needed to go home, he was missing it extremely bad.  And we packed in alot of fun things while we were up there.

 This is me going gopher hunting at the Sabey farm.  I got the gopher I was aiming at when Riley took the picture.  I think total I killed like 12, it was so fun.  It was Riley, Brad, Syler (our nephew), and me.  That went.

 Syler being is adorable self, he definately knows how to smile for the camera.  Don't you just love that little face, cuz I sure do.

 Mandee and Jordan working on training their horses, Mandee is on Mitch and Jordan is on Jack.  They are some good looking buck skins, very pretty.

 For awhile Riley has been just itching to ride horses again, he used to ride when he was younger but decided he didn't like getting brushed off, bit, bucked off, or anything else so he stopped.  But having the itch he got back on again up in Canada.  This is him on JT.  He is a mighty fine looking man up there, but I am a little partial I think.



Brad and one of his best buds Syler on Champ. Syler loved every minute of it riding with Grandpa.

 Another day we went to the horse races in Lethbridge, I didn't bet though (I would just pick out the horse I though would win) and Riley was kicking himself for not betting the horse I would pick, even though I wouldn't have let him.  But some of the horses I picked won. This picture we thought was pretty cool, if you look close to behind us, on my side is the American flag, on Riley's is the Canadian. We didn't even plan it like that but when we looked at the pictures noticed it, but this is our relationship.  Pretty sweet huh!

 Another day we went up to the cabin and did some work up there.  Awhile ago the archway they had leading into the cabin blew over in some wicked wind, so that day they put up another one.  This is Jared in one of the holes they had to dig to put the poles in.  It was about 4-5 feet deep I think.

Lifting up the poles, they didn't look light at all, but they were able to lift up all four of them, two on each side  it was a little nerve racking for the girls to watch, but they did a good job.

This was them just trying to figure out how they were going to get the top across piece on and attached safely.  Luckily the neighbor came down with a tractor to help.  Thank heavens, it was nerve racking watching them with the tractor, couldn't imagine it without it.

Safety first, always with the Sabey's!

This is a picture of me with Riley's 30.06, I wanted to go for a walk, and Riley told me to never leave the cabin without some kind of firearm cuz you never know what you will run into up there. So I grabbed his gun, and some bullets, and left.  When Riley found me he couldn't quit laughing at me, but I was just following his orders, he shouldn't have laughed at me.  

 We got to hang out with 3 of the cutest little boys ever while up there.  Dahlin and Biz went on vacation while we were up there so we got to help watch their boys.  This is Laiken and he is so freaking cute, I just love him!  He is just so sweet, and smiles for anyone.  He even got his first tooth while we were up there and you wouldn't even know he was teething.  Such a good baby.

 This little bundle of energy is Sawyer, he is a very cute/active one year old.  He is Mandee and Jordan's little guy.  He gives you these little crooked smiles, and turns his head to the side and it just melts your heart.

And Syler again, don't you just love that smile, this little kid is so smart, and he says the funniest things, that just make you laugh so hard.  I am so glad we got to go up and spend time with the family up there, it was so good to see everyone, and Thanks Dahlin and Biz for sharing your little boys.  It was definately a good time up there.  We loved it, and it was much needed.
