Date Night!!:)

Clancy and I enjoyed an evening together having fun! We actually went on a date. He took me miniature golfing and to Mcgraths Fish House. It was so much fun:0 We tied the first game and Clancy beat me by a long shot the second game. I will get ya next time Babe! Thank you Angela and Ryan for watching the kiddos.



The coarse was beautiful!
We need to work on taking pictures of ourselves:)




Fun at the Gonzales house

Ok, I know I have been a total slacker on my blog. I can't beleive I haven't update since June 9th. I thought I would catch y'all up on the happenings at the Mummert house. We had a great day at the Gonzales'. We had a little BBQ and the kids had a great time playing on the water slide. They have the best back yard ever. We enjoyed the company of Angela and the boys, Sayaka and her girls and of coarse Teresa and her three kiddos.

Look at those cute cheeks!!

Rodeoooooo...!!!

Ok, I am still learning the blogger thing and how these pictures load. The pictures are not exactly in the order I wished, but we had a great weekend!!! Clancy competed in 3 rodeos, Moab, Price and Tooele. We loaded up and left home Thursday about 4:15. We drove about 3.5 hours to Moab! I enjoyed the beautiful drive while Clancy and the kids slept peacfully. We arrived at the rodeo just in time to hear the National Anthem. The rodeo was fun, but 3 seconds didn't quite get us a pay check. We loaded up again about 11:30pm and headed out to find a campsite. So, after driving for a while we finally found a spot. Yes, there were other campers around. Thankfully we were not the only ones pitching a tent at 12:30am! We decided it would not rain and left the rain fly off the tent. It was so awesome going to sleep looking up at the beautiful sky that seemed to have more stars than I can ever remember seeing.
We awoke the next morning and were amazed at how beautiful our campsite was being we found it in the dark! We got some breakfast and headed to Arches National Park. It was amazing! The landscape was so different. Made me want to go to Lake Powell:) After seeing all the sights and getting very sunburned we headed to Price.
That was a great rodeo. Cam has decided he likes to ride sheep. We got him all signed up and he and daddy scoped out the sheep he would ride. It went in the shoot and Cam said that's my sheep daddy. Ok son, here we go. He hopped on with a little squeel and Clancy said grab his neck! Ok dad! The gate flew open and out he came. This time daddy didn't hold him and run with him. He hit the dirt pretty hard, but he didn't even shed a tear. Now he thinks every time daddy gets to ride a bull he thinks he needs to ride a sheep! Daddy was so proud. Do we have another bull rider in the making?? I hope not!
That got the night off to a great start and Clancy ended it with an AWESOME ride. 83 points on a bull named lizard!! He ended up in 2nd place.
We loaded up and headed home. We arrived home about 12:00am for a few hours of sleep before Clancy had to go to work. He got home and we jumped in the car again to head to Tooele.
No paycheck, but we got to see some of our friends ride and help them out with what we hope is not a broken ankle.
The highlight of the trip for me was when Clancy leaned over and asked me if I was having fun. I said yes, are you? He said I am doing what I love: Getting to be with my family and rodeo.
We are having a great time. I feel so blessed God has provided for us to do this as a family. We love Utah and we love the life God has given us!!


The kids were more interested in the playground than the rodeo!
Heading home!


Clancy's bull- Lizard

They look so much bigger behind the shoots:)

You can't see it very good, but this is a mama turkey with about 15 babies









Fun times at the park!!!!

I met a lady and her two kids that just moved here from Japan. They are so sweet and I am so glad God put her in my path. I invited my friend Angela and her two boys(Noah and Aaron) to meet us at the park. We had a great time. Syaka even brought us home made sushi! It was yummy.


Syaka and her 2 girls

I think her name is A Lou.

My sister got this shirt for cam. I think it has jinked me. While we were at the park, I looked up and Cam was hanging from a slide about 20 feet up. If you can't read the shirt, it says 'I do all my own stunts'.

Noah and cam

Bailey and Noah! Aren't they cute??

I can't even begin to say her name- let alone spell it:)
