One has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much!
Casy's birthday was this week, so we met up for a hot date!!!!Lots of fun, we went to Outback Steakhouse, then hung out in the chairs and read books at Barns and Noble. Don't pass out, then we went and watched a basketball game together. We laughed, lived well and loved much.
Life is busy as usual. I have been going to Holden and giving riding lessons, to a great lady. She has had some experience riding before, but just wants to get better. Kayleen has a great attitude about work, life and just everything in between. A sheer joy it has been to help her get better. She improves so much each day, that soon I will be taking lessons from her. What a joy it has been.
Along side giving lessons, I have been getting heading lessons. I've been looking to improve my roping skills and horsemanship as well. Sore muscles, lots of laughing, and a goal in mind. Each day I feel like I am improving, practice, practice, practice!!! Got to love that, can't wait to get all the picture together and perfect it.

Joseph will sing Reflections of Christ
When in Arizona I had some time to spend, with my good friend, Joseph! I was able to go stay with his family, and enjoy their company. What a treat! Joseph is just like a big brother to me. He spent two days, helping with my team roping.
This weekend Joseph will sing this song in his sacrament meeting. What a great opportunity, I so wish I could be there.
Knowing Joseph for about 7 years, he has taught me much, to love, to laugh, to have a deeper testimony of the savior. What a great thing to have such a friend. He has sacrificed much to be better at everything he does!! Of friendship with him he has made me realize how we should enjoy life, and everything we do.
Thanks Joseph for teaching me so much!!

February - a whole new month!
Well there goes January and in comes Febraury!!! Hard to believe that its over, and we are in the second month of the year. Not sure if the ground hog saw his shadow or not. I'm just hoping for warmer weather and less snow. We drove into town last Monday, in time for some horses and laundry, more laundry and State Jr.High Wrestling. The Juab Jr.High team earned 3rd place over all in 3 A. The coaches were sure proud of all the boys, and Juab also had some state champions crowned!!!
Shad worked hard, wrestled one match on Friday night and a bye. He pinned his first opponent in 40 seconds, and was victorious. The next morning we met the #1 ranked kid in the 76 weight pound bracket. Tough match, Shad lasted out all three and lost by 8 points. Our next match we won in the third round by 6 points. Our last match of the day was against our rival Millard. A boy we play chase with, he win's sometimes and we win sometimes. This day we fell short of a win and out the placing rounds by 1 point. Shad was dissapointed and frustrated. I am really proud of him, for his effort. He never stopped working during this match, shooting every shot possible until the whistle blew.
Determination is a great charicteristic to have. You have to be determined to be able to win and excell. Congrats to Shad for busting his butt all year. And my friend 7th out of 32 is not to bad!!
Dixon wrestled a great match at home against Manti on Thursday winning 5 to 1. Then Friday and Saturday he traveled to North Sanpete, he lost in the varsity tournament but won champioinship on saturday and the second chance tournament.
KyLeigh and Shad had parent teacher confrence last week. Both are great students and learning and growing. KyLeigh is on a 6th grade reading level, and loving every minute of it. Finally Casy has a little book nerd just like him!!1
Arizona was a great trip, thanks to Burns for the opportunity. I love to go and sell such great products for them. What a great company and team of people.
Back to the grind of catching up at home, getting taxes done, working on family orginization. we have started scripture study in the mornings at 6:30, successful so far and the kids seem to be intent on learning the Book Of Mormon. Dixon is working on getting his patriartical blessing and rodeo season is fast approaching.
So pull your boot straps up and your hat down. Here goes another eventful year for the WILD WINN BUNCH!!!!
