2008 Apache Country Fair

I always love going home for the fair; cant tell ya why, I just do! My siblings did very well this year! Alissa got Grand Champion for market AND showmanship in swine and Eli got Reserve Champion for market in swine. They also got blue ribbons for their steers as well. On Friday night we were able to make it up there in time to go to the SJ vs. Show Low football game...they smoked 'em! Really early Saturday morning Alissa, Dad, and Ben went hunting (Alissa and Ashley both have cow tags in Unit Two). Then we went to the auction during the day and to the girls' soccer game in Snowflake that night. Once again, SJ smoked 'em! It was a short weekend, but a nice little getaway! Here are a few pics...

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend with my fam up in the mountains. It is SO gorgeous up there right now!! SO green. It rained almost the whole time we were there, but I loved it. It is one of my most favorite things to fall asleep to the sound of rain! The only bad part was that EVERYONE and their dog goes camping on labor day, and it we got stopped about 20 miles outside of Payson and went about 5mph the rest of the way into town! Shoot me now! Note to self: next time go through Globe! But overall it was a great weekend! Here are some pics...

There was this AWESOME sunflower patch on the way up there...Ben and Eli "frolicking" LOL

My husband will never take a serious pic!

We took Ashley's senior pics up there...she is so gorgeous! Here are a few...

Alissa wanted to pose too haha

Once again, my husband is a nerd! But I love him for it!

Eli...starting to act a little too much like Ben! haha

The dogs were so funny over the weekend...even though there are a million sticks up there, they always fought over one stick! Hunter was definitely in heaven! He loves Rascal, but I dont think Rascal is too fond of him! LOL

Happy Anniversary!

Well, we have made it two years! So I just wanted to tell my Benny Boo Boo that I love him lots! And yes, this post is two days late, but better late than never!

Roosevelt

This past weekend Ben & I were able to meet up with my family at Roosevelt Lake on Friday night. My family always stays in those SRP houses which are so nice! The group consisted of the Ray Davis fam, the Brandon Crosby fam, my grandma & grandpa Crosby, the Raykovitch fam, the Zieler fam, and of course my fam! It was lots of fun! We wish we could've had more than one day on the lake, but we will take what we can get! :)

New Job & a Dodger game!

Two weeks ago I started my new job as an auditor. I am really liking it so far. The company is called CBIZ & Mayer Hoffman McCann. Last week I flew over to LA for some training and while I was there I was able to go to a Dodger's game with my uncle Jeff and aunt Leah and my cousins. It was so much fun! Dodger stadium is pretty neat. Here are a couple pics!
