Tre's First Rodeo!

Tre rode a sheep for the first time in the junior rodeo that is in Buhl! I was so excited! He was pretty scared but he bucked up and did it! He didn't stay on for too long but we didn't care, he at least did what he said he wanted to!



After he fell off his dad came to the rescue!


Dan was pretty excited Tre rode, Tre was pretty proud himself. He was big now!

Tre also did an event called the "no horse goat un-tying" where he had to run out and un-tie a little ribbon from the goats tail. The funny thing was they were timed but he was in no hurry! Instead of running he did his infamous little "too cool" march out to the goat. It was cute!



The goats were tiny but compared to Tre it didn't look that small!


Tre and Daniel right after he untied the ribbon from the goat.


Tre, Riley, Teegan and Gentry. Teegan did the same events that Tre did and Riley raced barrels.


A few of the spectators! Gina and Casey came to watch with the kids. Gentry found a new mom in Gina! She did not want me she only wanted "Nina"!

Our Summer Thus Far

We went to Bear Lake the end of June. It was fun but SOO cold!

That is one proud papa!


Tre's Green shovel! You couldn't even look at it let alone think about touching it!


Playing in the sand at Bear Lake! It was too cold to swim!


They both love to ride Dixie! When we get her out it is an all out war who gets to ride her first!

The dirty side of my kids! As you can tell by these next few pictures my kids are attracted to the mud! If there is a mud puddle anywhere in the area I know where my kids are!









-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one of our swimming trips! All the kids love to come down here, and so do all of us! It is pretty fun and a nice day out of the house! We have been doing this little tradition for six summers now I think!


Makala looking fabulous! She is gonna love this picture!


My little man! He is a fish he loves to come swim. He is actually brave and gets out and plays in the water with his sweet floatie!


Gentry loves it swimming. But she mostly likes the food part of it instead of the water!


This picture makes me laugh because at the first of the summer our DVD player broke and I have yet to replace it. So the kids watch their movies on the computer, so everyday Tre falls asleep in our way luxurious office chair! Talk about ultimate comfort!

Branding Cows

We had to brand all of our cows a few days ago. It was alot of fun! Casey and Gina came over with their family and Luke and Wyatt came to help out also. The cows had to be branded, docked (casterated), tagged, and vaccinated. It took a little while to get it all done but we all had fun.



The guys were hard at it! They all had a lot of fun, branding always is!


Luke was the designated brander. Chase and Wyatt helped out holding the cows down.


Daniel and Casey were the ropers. They both love getting to do that job. They are pretty good at it!


Luke was on the ground with the boys. Chase and Wyatt had a lot of fun helping out. They would help vaccinate and they both helped cut the bulls. Chase would cut out the "Rocky Mountain Oysters" and stick them over by the branding fire. Boys....


Daniel and Casey would stretch the calf out and Luke would brand.


I put Gentry on Dixie while Daniel had to grab some things. She LOVES the horses and her and Tre both love to ride. She was mad, she didn't want to get off!


Dan would go in first and head the cows and drag them out. Then Casey would come in and heel it.


Tre is pretty sure he has the biggest muscles!!

Some More Cowboying

We had to preg check our cows to see how many of them were pregnant. Mark and Jason came to help and Casey was the official Preg Checker!


Tre had to get in all his cowboy gear to look like his dad and Casey.


Mark had Gentry and she was freezing that day, so she had to wear Tre's old marshmellow coat.


Casey wore out after getting all the cows checked and through the chutes!


Jason and Gentry


Daniel and Mark.


Tre didn't want his picture taken that day, he was being ornery! But we got some anyway!


He got a little happier once we got inside and he warmed up.

Just a random day at the Dimond house...

This was at Tre's b-day, Daniel was just observing while Tre opened presents!


We are all ready for summer at this house! We all need to get some sun first though!





Tre always takes naps in the weirdest places! Kids can sleep anywhere I have learned.
