“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Our Week...and then some...in Malad

Warning: Lots and lots o' pics!! Little note at bottom...scroll at your own risk! :)



My brother-in-law, Austin, with one of his little boys, Addler on Christmas Eve. Addler had fallen asleep like that on his dad's lap. Pic on the right is of Christmas Day dinner. Front L-R: Maestin, Addler, Ruxton (all Maysi and Austin's boys), Me with Lachlan. Back L-R: Bowdrie, Maysi with Holdan, Austin, Grandpa Price, and Grandma Price.


Christmas Eve at Great Grandma Prices...my Aunt LaNora is holding him with her youngest, my cousin, Anthony smiling at him. Another cousin Cody, her next to youngest, holding him.



Chillin' with Maggie again in the bouncy seat. She's a good baby dog...doesn't lick, just lays next to them.



My poor son has some wierd uncles! He's just chillin' with Bowd on the left, but the sad thing is that Bowd had done the exact same thing with those pj's that my brother Kade is doing in the pic on the right...It's sadder that they let me take pics of them doing this!



Crazy Uncle Kade with his little boy Gavin on the 4-wheeler. But, Gavin had fun, and so did the dogs if you couldn't tell. They love it when Kade comes to visit...he's CRAZY on the 4-wheeler!



Me on the roping horse dummy roping the dummy steer...Too many dummies for me! :) I'm actually talking to Shayne in the pic on the right. I'll have you know I think I only missed twice, and I must have roped it 50 times! Yeah for me!!



Sittin' in the saddle for the first, but not last time. It's just a roping horse dummie, so it was safe. Kinda cute pic.



L: Hanging out with Ashely and cousin Braylee in the snow, and Uncle Bowd decided to crash our picture. R: Hanging out with Grandpa Price in the tractor while he was scraping all the snow.



Seeing a horse for the first time. Zan was just as curious...they were both checking eachother out. I think Zan just wanted a good scratch though...such a sucker for attention.


Kinzie asleep in the swing on Saturday night of our Christmas party, and Lachlan asleep in it the next morning while I got ready for church. So glad Grandma has a swing!


Grandma Price holding Lachlan and Addler coming to see him.



Lachlan with Great Grandma Price and Bowdrie putting on one of the hats I made for all the grandkids...it's a little small.


Ok...the pic on the left is of my family minus my mom and dad who were taking the pics...and of course Shayne. My mom put her finger on the flash, and the second pic she took had nearly everyone's eyes closed...what's up with that? The pic on the right is of all the grandkids with the little fleece hats I made for all of them. Here's order L-R: Maestin with Lachlan, Ruxton with Holdan, Addler with Zane, Gavin with Braylee, and Jayvin with Kinzie...we are a little heavy on the boys in case you couldn't tell. :)



My brothers and sisters with and without our babies in our birth order, L-R: Me, Maysi, Kade, Dezi, Shancy, and Bowdrie (he's holding his "baby" in the picture...he felt left out!)


Grandma and Grandpa Price with the babies. Left pic: Braylee, Zane, Kinzie, Lachlan, and Holdan. Right pic: Grandma with Zane, Kinzie, Lachlan. Grandpa with Braylee and Holdan.


The babies in order of their birth: Ashley holding Braylee, Maysi with Holdan, Dezi with Kinzie, Me with Lachlan, and Shancy with Zane

Me with some high school friends: Front L-R: Michelle (holding Krystal's baby Bailey), and KayCee (Krystal's little girl). Back L-R: Me, Krystal holding her little girl Riley, and Daniele holding Lachlan.

Dezi doing a little babysitting so I could shower. She has her little girl Kinzie and Lachlan.

Addler holding Lachlan...Addler loves the babies.

Ruxton (and Maggie) helping babysit Lachlan at Grandma Price's house. So cute with him.

Lachlan hanging out with Maggie, she is the mother to our dog Tipz, and they are very similiar.

Maestin holding Holdan, such a happy baby.

Hanging out with my cousin Kolton (he hung out at the house for a couple of days, and it was so fun to have him around) and wierd Uncle Bowdrie

Checking out Uncle Bowdrie for the first time.

Napping with Grandpa Price


Here's the rest of the pictures from our trip to Idaho...this is from the week, and then some, while I was in Malad. We got to go to Great Grandma and Grandpa Woodbury in Mackay and see their new house, which was fun. I also had lots of fun meeting a new niece and nephew and taking pictures of all the babies, 5 of them in 6 months! Lachlan got to meet his first horse...nothing like seeing my parents stud horse Zan for the first time. Zan is a sucker for attention. I also put Lachlan on a roping horse dummy, much safer at this point than the real thing. I however, did saddle up and ride a real horse while I was there. Never mind I had snow pelting me in the face as I rode...it was so nice to be back in the saddle again. (Do you hear a country song?) Sorry I don't have a picture of my riding, everyone but my dad and I went in the house to get out of the snow. As far as Christmas...I didn't take hardly any pictures of Christmas morning...I was pretty depressed I wasn't spending it with Shayne...but I did take one of the Christmas dinner. I realize now how dumb it was of me to not take pics...but what can you do?

Anywho...lots of pics, but that's what you do when you only see family every 6 months, and you have a new baby.

Dude you think you could post anything longer! So is this what you did while you watched Brayden :-) I just talked to him and he said he had a blast and that Shayne taught him how to tie a fly. That is awesome. Thanks so much for watching him. I hope he was okay for you guys!
