Mustang Volleyball

Jocey and her new crew!

Jocey's New Home

I feel like I have been one of the luckiest mothers in the world. Jocey has been such a blessing in our lives over the last 18 years and now that she is gone, I have realized this even greater then ever before. She is now an official Wyoming Mustang and she is living in Rock Springs. She has wonderful people there with her, and such a bright future ahead; all she needs to do is remember that, and live by the saying on her bear made my Uncle Eric. Do WORK ! Jocey we love you and you will do great.

Saturday afternoon at Rigby Lake

An afternoon with the McFarland Family

Sunday afternoon, we went an watched the Blue Angels, played games and fed "our" ducks with the McFarlands. It was a wonderful day full of good food, great company and loads of memories.

Rigby Lake with Lochlynn

Today Jocey, Me, Molly, and Bayli picked up Loch from her babysitters and took her to Rigby Lake. Loch LOVED the water, not the sand so much though. She was so cute to watch and Aunt Bayli loved every minute of taking care of her. We had to leave baby Trex at the sitters perhaps next summer we can take him too.

Red Fish Lake summer 2010

Almost every year since I was a small child my family, the Burtenshaw's have their reunion at Red Fish Lake in Stanley, Idaho. This year marked our 31st year of attending. We spent the time water skiing, laying on the beach, eating and eating again, campfires, ice cream bike rides, beach volleyball, wipe out obstical courses, hikes, random bike rides and best of all just enjoying each others company. The Burtenshaw crew exists of 88 family members and 66 member were in attendance, pretty good for 4 generations worth.

Ostermiller House Aug 3rd 2010

I decided since my household is going to change so much this weekend that I would snap some random photos of what my children were doing today. Each one doing their own thing like usual. Mason acting cool, Braxton playing games, Bayli playing dress-up on the computer, and Jocey packing for college (this photos isn't the norm, but has become the norm over the last week).

Tammy's 20th Year Class Reunion

As dumb as it sounds, I was actually very nervous to attend my class reunion. I had a great time in high school but since I graduated in 1990 I have only seen a handful a my classmates. Twenty years is a long time and so many of us have changed, perhaps changed for the better...there is definite wisdom in age.

Miss Ruby Sue

Over the last few weeks Jocey was chosen to be a photograph model for a company called Miss Ruby Sue. The photographer is still waiting official payment and then she will remove the water marks and turn the photos over to the company. Jocey has taken several photos but we are awaiting the final product so far. I am very bias but I think Jocey would make an amazing magazine model.
