M.I.A.

Sorry, don't know when I'll be back on here. A lot of things have been going on that I wish I had time to blog about but I just don't have time and it's on the last of my to do list. Last week was the Fair, Clay did really good for his first time. Mick was told last week that he will have to work in Crouch, so this week he is there, and will be taking the camper up there and staying during the week and home on the weekends and maybe a night or two during the week. We move next Friday, so I have started to pack things up for that and have been going over to the new house to prep for the dogs and do some things inside. Plus school will be starting before I know it and I haven't had the time or energy to go and do the school shopping, and I work 40 hrs a week, so it's been super busy...

Anyhow, wish I had more time to post pictures and other things, but I don't.

Stay tuned, eventually things will be a little less hectic and I can fit it in..

Till then~

Tully's Events...

Here is the video that I tried to download a few weeks ago. He is such a cute little guy.
Check out this video: Clays first steer ride

This week I had an interview in Caldwell. It is a drive but it's also a job and I think that is what is important at this point. I have been asked to go back on Monday for a follow up interview, so pray that I get this job.. Going from 2 incomes back to 1 is kind of scarry.. I need to work..
We are also moving, yes you read right. When we moved into this place we knew it was temporary and when all of the crap with the neighbor started happening we really knew it would be temp. Anyhow so we found our dream home, well atlease place. It is on 10 acres!!! Yea, I am so excited, and it's not in the boonies or middle of nowhere so that we have to drive a lot, it's just off of Hubbard and Cloverdale. Anyhow a guy that played sports w/ Clay and also is friend's w/ my folk's is getting married and his fiance is moving in with him so we are moving into her house. It is just a rental situation, but maybe in the future we will be able to buy it. Anyhow, I will get to finally have horses again and ride way more than I have been (which means, I haven't). The house is older but she has kept it nice. Their is a 2 stall barn w/ tack and wash room and storage for hay. I could go on, but you'll have to just come and visit when we get moved in.
It is still in the Kuna School Dist, but the kids will just have to go to different school's. Hubbard/Teed do so much more with the kids than where they go now, so I think it is going to be a great move. And we will move just in time for them to get settled and then start school.

This weekend Clay had his second Rodeo in Vale, OR. He did a good job, they hurry those little guys that they don't really have time to get situated correctly, but I think with time he will definately get better. Next up I think is Emmett after the Fair in Caldwell, then Homedale, Caldwell Night and then Meridian Lions. He loves it, so as long as he still wants to do it, we'll take him. Sis really wants to be a Princess Queen, I have a friend who helps with all of that, so maybe next year we will have both the kids riding in some Rodeo's.
Oh and last night they had a Pig scramble, and of course Clay wanted to go and see if he could catch one, and well, um, yea he did. So we ended up bringing home yet another pig. I guess we will just raise this one and then have meat in a few months. Leave it to Clay to make it so we had to haul a little pig in a box back to Kuna from Vale, OR...

This week the kids are leaving on Wed night to go boating w/ my folk's for 5 days!! Mick and I couldn't be more exctied, I mean bummed.. No, they look forward to going and we look forward to hanging out as a couple again!! I appreciate my parents taking the kids that long, we are blessed to have such great Grandparents for our children!!

Well friends are coming over to BBQ tonight so I better get the house picke up..

Fun, HOT weekend!!

We had a great weekend. Mick is now working 4-10 hr days, so he is home on Friday's. That is nice, just one more day that we get to hang out together. He and Clay went and cleaned pig pens and worked with Clay's pig, the fair is a little less than a month away. His pig is huge. We've been trying to get out there in the morning being as it's not cooling off in the evenings. The rest of the day we just hung out at home doing things that we've been neglecting.

Sat we decided to go 4 wheeler riding with our friends Jason & Darcy, we went to Silver City, that was fun. It wasn't too hot either, which made it even more enjoyable. The kids were able to ride their own 4 wheelers and they did really good.





Today I took Clay to his second time of going to Church Camp. I am sure he will thoroughly enjoy being up there with a bunch of other kids. And honestly I will enjoy the break.. I hope he has fun!! I know I always did..


Yesterday while it was soo hot outside, 105 to be exact. We decided to go buy ourselves a swimming pool!! I haven't had one of these since I was little and we lived in Eagle! The kids will have so much fun this summer!!


Anyhow, this week we don't have anything planned. I am probably going to stay home most of the week and work on my tan! ;) This weekend Clay will ride in his 2nd Rodeo in Vale. He sure enjoyed riding steer's at the last Rodeo..

Oh and a little tease, something that really isn't too foreign to The Tully's is going to happen in about a month... Anyone dare to guess??? Besides Amanda that is, don't give it away sister!! (Everyone else is doing little giveaways why not me, guess it right and you'll get a little present)

At home again...

Well the past few weeks have been interesting. The Monday after my B-day party in Melba I went into work and found out that I was being laid off due to the lack of business that AQD was feeling. At first I was really sad, I loved working with Nicole and Denise. The week went by and I eventually went back at the end of the week for a day, it was nice to return to work, but honestly I was enjoying staying at home with the kids again. I went back the following Tuesday but ended the day on not so good of a note with the boss, and haven't gone back since. I am not bothered with the fact that I may never return their. This summer is jam packed full of different events; camping trips, Rodeo's and the Fair, so I will enjoy not working so that I can take the kids to all of those things.

Speaking of Rodeo's, Clay did extremely well in Nyssa at his first Rodeo.

He didn't show any signs of being nervous and got out there and did his best. I was video taping and Sis was taking pictures, but she was too busy watching him that she forgot to take a picture.. That was ok, when he came up to sit with me I took one then. He didn't stay on the whole 8 seconds, but he was about 4.5, so he will only continue to get better with each Rodeo we go to this summer. We are planning about 6 more Rodeo's through the Fall, so I hope he enjoys each time even more than the first..

The rest of the weekend was pretty laid back. We have been cutting down on our usuall running around due to the ever increasing cost of gas, so Sat we just took the dogs to the pond behind our subdivision then got ready for the Rodeo. Sunday Mick, Clay and Jason D went and fixed fence and Sis and I went to Church with my sister, then out to lunch and back home. Mick got home about 4, then we went over to The Dawson's house for a BBQ.

It's only 6:30am and I am already up and can't go back to sleep, so I guess I better get things started like the laundry that I didn't get done last night.

My little cowboy!!

After several failed attemps of trying to load the video, a picture will have to do..

Clay is riding steers for the first time this weekend at the Nyssa Nite Rodeo.. He has riden sheep since he was 3 and has now graduated into the steers. Me, well I am quite nervous. I have never pressed Clay to want to be a cowboy, although I have always accepted it. I guess this will give the opportunity to either say, "yea, I like it," or "nope, I don't think I will pursue it." I have been talking about getting him out somewhere so that he can practice, and last night we went out to Sand Hollow and he was able to get on a few. I don't know if it scared him more than anything, but he got on and tried his hardest. In the video you see that he lands pretty hard and it hurt his little bony butt. This morning he said he wasn't sore, so I guess it wasn't as bad as it looks.

Anyhow, we are all really excited, he got new chaps, new spurs, new hat, new shirt and boots. He is borrowing (until we know just how often he will ride) a helmet and a vest and rope. Say a prayer that all goes well and that he and the rest of the little cowboys don't get hurt this weekend!!

Happy Father's Day~Happy B-Day!!

Happy Father's Day to my dad. It's great how much he has been there for me and my family through the years. Thank you Dad for never giving up and always being consistant. You are a terrific grandfather for my kids. You are always there for Clay, you take him with you just about anywhere you go. He has learned so many things from you. Thank you for always being caring with Michayla. We appreciate you and mom taking the kids to Hells Canyon, Camping, Snow Mobiling and just having them come over on a weekend to spend the night because you hadn't seen them in a while! You are very appreciated, thanks again!



Here we are 13 years and 2 kids later on your 29th B-day! WOW, it's been just a whirl wind hasn't it. How do you express to the most important person in your life just how much he means to you? Well, you buy him a chain saw... Just kiddding, but that is what he got for Father's Day/Birthday!
I have never met someone like Mick, and how I was fortunate enough to marry him is sometimes beyond me. He is the most caring, giving, hard worker, never complains about anything, will give everything he has, generous, kind, motivated, funny husband and father I know. Mick is such a hard worker, has been since we got married and he just continues to work harder and harder as the years go by. He is so determined to do his best! I love him for always being here for me, never giving up on the things that he wants most, and always taking care of his family first! He is always willing to do anything for his kids, buys them way more than he should :) and makes time to make it to any event they have!
I love you Mick, I am blessed to have you as my forever husband! Hope you have a great day!!

Craigslist, just an amazing invention....

I don't know about you, but we are Craigslist junkies.. We have sold a ton of things and have also found some pretty good buys too. We have been talking about getting the kids some 4 wheelers for quite a while now, and being as they are getting older we thought that we should get them some small quads. We had put some things on Craigslist yesterday to sell (and by the way, they are sold and picked up today!!) Anyhow and so Mick of course again was scouring craigslist for little quads and ran across two Polaris 90's.. We went and looked at them, and the kids just fell in love with them. (Note: last Sunday we went to Joe's and bought one of theirs that was on sale, got it home and it kept dying on us. It was a brand called Baja, and it is made in Japan, the owner's manual was in Chinese, and we couldn't figure out how to work on it. We called and luckily they allowed us to bring it back due to it being still what the considered new.. So that was good for us.) They have been used and are about 6 yrs old or so, but they bought them from Carl's and that kind of put our mind to ease with if anything was to happen that Mick couldn't fix we could take them in there to get fixed. So well we bought them. They need new plastic on one of the machines and just some tuning but other than that they run really good and it will be so fun to go on a Sat ride.. Now all we need to do is get me one, and we'll be looking at one tomorrow night for me!! :) If we get the one we saw on Craigslist as well, then we will all have Polaris 4 wheelers.. I can't wait..

Spoiled a little early..

Well tomorrow is the big day, I can't believe I am turning 29.. I sure don't feel like I am that old. Honestly I don't feel over 25, I guess that is a good thing.

Michayla I guess was so excited about my gifts that she wanted to give them to me early. I was very impressed with how well she listens sometimes. I randomly blurt out sometimes "oh that would be cute, or, I would like to have that," and today it paid off. :)

From Mick and the kids I got these. Yes I already have a bunch but you can't ever have enough. I live in these boots, since breaking my leg I can't wear tennis shoes and these to me are just as comfortable!!
I was also given this my boss at work has one and I love that you can put all different pictures on it, it will be a great reminder of my family all day long.
Sissy must have heard me telling Mick that I would really like this in front of the house filled with a bunch of pretty flowers. So that is what her and I will be doing hopefully on Sunday..

I have a great family whom I love and adore more and more everyday! I never would have guessed that life would just get so much better with the years, but Oh my have they! I thank Mick for always being there for me and never giving up on me. I thank God for giving me my children. They are from opposite sides of the spectrum, but I love how they are both so much their own person(s)..

Friday night I have invited my family and friends to Cook's in Melba, and I can't wait to go out their and have the best hamburgers in the world, sit and converse with my friends and just have a great time!!!

On to the Championship!!

Through all of the rain we had the game still played on and Clay's team WON the Tournament and now are going to play in the Minor League AA Championship on Sat in Kuna! They really won by the hair on their chiny chin chin's. It was a close game, but I am so glad that they won. Clay has played catcher all year and I think he loves having all the action at home plate. Mick is the Umpire when we are home team, the only thing he hates is calling really close plays.
Something kind of funny, Mick and I both had Mr Blattner as our Ag/FFA teacher and now his son is a year younger than Clay but played in the same league this year. His son's team was the one we beat on Wed night. It's just too funny to see a teacher whom you had to respect now sit around and shoot the breeze with you 10 years later..

I'll let you know how Sat goes.. Keep your fingers crossed for the Padres!!

Sorry that it's been a while, it's been busy!!

Sorry, this will be long.. What do you expect when it's been a while since my last post. :)

Well it seems like forever since I have put an update on our crazy life. I have been so busy, I don't even know where to start. I think it's about 7:30p and this is probably the first time I have had an opportunity to get on my computer at home long enough to do more than check my e-mail and a few blogs and then head off to bed.

We are getting down to the last few games of Clay's baseball. Last Wed they had a tournament and Clay's team won and has advanced to the next Tournament. During that game Clay hit his first home run, it was just awesome!!! I was so proud of him and he was super excited that he did it. Tomorrow is the next Tournament and if they win that game they will advance to the Championship Game held on Sat. I hope that hit that milestone it would be great for the team!

Clay's pig is growing so much, it's crazy to see how fast those animals grow. Only about 2 months left and he will be showing at the Canyon County fair at the end of July.

Work is just crazy busy. I don't have enough time in the day to do all that is being asked of me. I did get a title promotion, I am now the Residential Install Coordinator. I have been at this job for a little over 3 months, I like it a lot, am glad I found it..

A lot of the end of the school year activities have been going on a lot fo field trips and what not. Clay had his Singing/Recorder Concert, this week is field day and other fun activities.This Thursday is the last day of school, I know, can you believe it? It's crazy to think I am going to have a 5th grader and 2nd grader next year! This summer they are going to the Boys & Girl's Club in Meridian. It is realatively cheap (only $50 week) and they go on a lot of field trips and have a lot of activities to do during the day. Clay is pretty much too old to go to a daycare, so this will make him think it's just a day camp.. Can't wait to hear all the fun things they will do. Makes me think of when my sister and I were younger we went to a YMCA daycamp, we had a lot of fun their..

This past weekend we went camping for the first time this year! It was great. The weather wasn't always the best but our canopy on the tent worked really well to keep us all out of the rain. Our friends Shawn, Christina and their daughter Kayla came with us. Kayla and Michayla are only about a month apart and were in Kindergarten together last year. They are great friends. Tessa thought she would show her courage and jump in the creek it was really fast moving and deep. Luckily she got out just fine, it's really only her 2nd time camping, next time we'll camp a little further away from the water.

Probably have more to say, but I should get the kids into bed. Here's the photos from this weekend..

Jackson Hole, Wyoming slide show..

a GREAT weekend...

This weekend was our trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It was just beautiful. We left our of here after the kids got on the bus, and after a few errands we ran we were on the road by 9. It was nice driving just Mick and I, we hadn't been on a long drive the two of us in quite some time. Although Mick's driving, bugs me most of the time, this trip he did pretty good and I didn't harp on him too much.
We made pretty good time, before we knew it, we were rolling up into Jackson Hole around 3p. At first, the directions from Mapquest weren't telling us we had gone the right way and I had to eventually call the lodge and ask them how to get there.
Quite a few years ago, my family and I use to go to Jackson Hole, I think we went a couple times during Memorial weekend. The last time I had been there was the summer of 8th grade. Driving through town, I remembered the hotel we had once stayed at, it honestly hasn't changed a bit. The ski lodge where we took the tram thing up the hill was there, only now it has tons of buildings surrounding it, and to me looked a lot like Tamarack.
Friday night we went into town, and had reservations at the Million Dollar Cowboy Diner. It was nice, Mick and I both had Buffalo Meatloaf, it was so tastey, then we went upstairs and sat on the saddles in the bar.. Not being much of a drinker, we ended up going back to the Lodge by 8:30p.
Sat we got up, drove back into town, did some shopping for the kids. (We soon realized that it wasn't going to be as cheap as say Hawaii was) The kids both got stuffed animals, Michayla requested a horse, and Clay got a Black Bear, Clay also got a camo hat and Sis got horse ear rings. Mick got a camo hat from the Bar and I got a pink/camo hat w/ Jackson Hole on it. We then found the Elk refuge, that place was just awesome. To look out over thousands of acres and see hundreds of Elk was just breath taking. They have 23,000 acres fenced off where the Elk come in the winter to be fed hay, and we were told that by this time of year they are all headed back up into the mountains, but because of the hard winter, there was still hundreds of them down by town..
We rushed back to the Lodge where we had our hour massages, Mick was pretty tense, so I am not sure if he really got to enjoy it, but I know I did. It was great.
We went for a drive into the Teton Mountains, and saw some moose, then back to town for dinner.
It seemed to go by really fast looking back, but we really did have a great time together. Don't tell Mick I told you this, but we kind of got bored and decided to play hide and seek in the room (don't let your mind go in the gutter) it was just something dumb and fun for us to do. Although we are both almost 30, we still know how to mess around and keep the kid alive in us both!! :)
Sunday morning came too quickly, and before I knew it we were packed and heading out of town. We stopped in Idaho Falls and saw our friends, and then back on the road again. I did learn a spendy lessson about our truck, when an Idaho State Trooper pulled me over for what he said I was going 87 in a 75. WOW, you say, well I know I wasn't. Since pulling on the highway in Idaho Falls, I set the cruise at 78, the limit being 75.. I didn't argue, but was really sure that he was trying to meet a quota for that day. :) I took and went on our way, this time setting the cruise around 68-70! We'll have to look into seeing about that..

The kids were very excited to see us, as we were them. Now I am home, doing laundry, cooking dinner and getting the kids off to bed. I will post photos, but probably not until tomorrow..

I'll get to it, I promise..

Well, it's been hard to find time get on here. Here's what our week has been like:

*Monday, Dr appointment for Sis, her teeth aren't really doing too much better. Needless to say, they are still really lose and the braces are just holding them in place. What does that mean, well her nerves aren't growing anymore and we are suppose to see a nerve/root canal specialist. I don't know when, they haven't called. We are suppose to go back to the same Dr next week.
*Baseball practice and baseball games...
*Work, oh my, how work has just seemed to have gotten busier by the day. I think it's hard to get home at 5:30p, not enough hours in the evening.
*Try to find something to eat for dinner, sometimes nothing, so we eat on the run
*Get Clay over to baseball practice, oh and try not to forget to pick him up
*Clean up the house, maybe some laundry, maybe just sitting relaxing for a little while
*Last night the kids went to Jason & Gena's after school because there was a 7p 4-H meeting, and Clay needed to work w/ his pig. Clay also gave a demonstration on the meat cuts of a pig, and he did so well! He talked so we could all hear him and just did a great job, so proud of him
*Got home to load the dogs and head to Melba
*Baseball game tonight, although I didn't go because I am trying to get the kids, the house and Mick and I arranged for our trip to Jackson Hole this weekend.
*Deliver Scentsy to Jackie sometime before Friday
*Am really looking forward to this mini vacation!

Thank you Amanda for the great Mother's Day gift. I love it and will take it everywhere to show off my family!

Ok, well I probably won't get to post before the trip this weekend, but I will definately have pictures to share next week when we return!

**Update on Michayla**

It is so emotional when your kids get hurt. I have felt so very bad for Sis the past few days, she hasn't been able to eat much. We got her some soup, yogurt, applesauce, ice cream and shakes, she keeps saying how hungry she is, but she's not allowed to solid food for a few more days.

This morning we got up and headed to the Oral Surgeon's office. Once we got in there, they took X-rays of her mouth. From those they decided to pull the baby teeth (which I had already figured them doing), and the Dr. said when they get those out they will decide if she needs braces to hold the permanent teeth in place. So the nurse took her off down the hall, and I wasn't allowed to go with her. I think that might have been the hardest part..

40 gruling minutes later, the nurse finally came to the lobby and said she was out of anesthesia and in recovery. When I went back there she was shivering and crying.. I almost lost it, but the nurse kind of talked both of us out of the crying.. She looked better, her upper lip was pretty swollen, they removed the baby teeth and in doing that the perm teeth were really loose so they decided to put braces on her two front teeth to hold them in place..

I took her to McDonalds where I bought her a vanilla shake, and then headed to the pharmacy to get her pain medicine. About an hour after we got home, the numbness wore off and she started hurting pretty bad.. I rocked her to sleep and she slept for about 2 hours.

So far, she is doing good. A little pain here and there, we did brush her teeth tonight very carefully, after 3 days of not being able to, man did it help.. :)

Thank you to all who thought of her and called about her today, it was really nice of you all. She is eager to go to school tomorrow, don't know how long she will actually stay, I am sure I have a pile of work to get done, so hopefully she will do ok..

Here's her picture, still has a little road rash under her nose, but she's still beautiful as can be!!

Thanks again for your thoughts/prayers..

My poor little girl!!

Well today Sis had an accident. She was riding her scooter down the driveway and was trying to make the corner onto the sidewalk when her scooter fell into the bark and she fell over the front of her scooter. Her teeth must have hit the concrete. I was in the house getting ready to come out and mow the yard when I heard this blood curdling scream and she was running towards me with her mouth dripping of blood. I was totally freaking out. Home alone, Mick was working, I tried mom on her cell, Mick on his and no one was answering me...

I put her in the truck and after a few failed attempts to what I thought was a ER, we ended up at St. Lukes on Eagle Rd. There they determined that her front two permanent teeth are still intact, and the baby teeth beside them will most likely come out. We have an appt with an Oral Specialist on Monday at 9.

We all know how dramatic Michayla is, but this time I was the dramatic one and she was pretty calm. The thing she is the most sad about is that she is going to miss her field trip on Monday.. I'll update after our Dr. visit..

Please keep her in your thoughts.. Thanks..

10 year Anniversary Retreat!!

We've been thinking of someplace to go for our Anniversary. After racking our brains for someplace we haven't been to that will be fun yet romantic, we have decided to go here. We are going for 3 days. We are very excited to have a "get a way" weekend.. Mick is going to experience this for the first time. We get 60 minutes to relax. He hasn't done this before, so it should be a great first.

We have always wanted to go to the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar so we are going to do that on Friday night. For Dinner on Sat night I think we will try this place. I think I have a lot planned for 2 days, but it should be fun for us, the drive will be the longest, there and back, but hopefully we can stop in Idaho Falls on our way home and see our friends that moved their last summer. They had a baby in Feb, so we need to see them.


I am very excited to be going, although the temp says it's only 30 some degrees in Jackson Hole, hopefully in a few weeks the temp will come up.

That's it for now, lots going on, work, school, baseball, 4-H it just never stops!

Crazy busy week..

This week has been quite hectic.. Tuesday Clay had a busy day. He had to weigh in his pig for the fair and had a baseball game too. Mick took off work early to pick up the kids and Shannon at school and headed out to his brother's house to load pigs and get to the fairgrounds in Caldwell to wait in line. Weigh in didn't start until 4:30, and when they got their at 3:30, there was already a long line. Clay's pig "Paul" weighed in at 48 lbs. made weight, as long as they don't weigh oer 65lbs they are fine.

After that they boogied back out to Kuna, and had a game at 6:30p. I am not sure if they won that game or not. It was so cold outside, the wind was blowing like cazy, I ended up leaving at 20 after 8 to get Michayla home and ready for bed. Clay is doing really good this year, I am glad to see as the years pass that he is understanding more about all of the different positions to play and their responsibilities. He has been playing either left or right field, Tuesday night he played shortstop.. Mick is the umpire for our team most games, so he has the unfortunate duty of calling all the shots, good or bad.. It's kind of funny because Mick hates confrontation and he has to be the one saying safe or out and has to deal with the parents who get upset..

Clay has a game on Saturday morning, this weekend is suppose to be rainy which kind of stinks. There is so much to do around my house, inside and out, that I really need the weekends to be nice so that we can get those things done.

I am hoping on Sunday that we can take a drive if the weather isn't bad. I really want to go up to Elk City, I watched a show on Outdoor Idaho about it and it looks really nice.. We'll see..

What I have realized!

What I have realized is that I am who I am! As I am approaching 30 years old, I have always been and probably will continue to always be the exact way I have always been. I don't fluctuate on my beliefs, or my character! I definately won't change myself just because it doesn't suit the way other's might think I should be. I am not perfect, nor is the way I do things the way each and every person should do things, but it works for me. It works the same way for how other's live their lives.

I think that I try to keep my guard up so that I don't allow people to get to me. It's been said that some people can't talk to me because if it's not what I want to hear than I don't want to hear it. I believe in some certain situations that is true, I think we are all like that some time or another.

Here are my thoughts, I am who I am, I have quite a few friends who I believe admire the fact that I am a no B.S. kind of person. I have to say, if some of my characters or ways of being aren't liked, then please do us both a favor and don't bother trying to be part of my life.

I have learned through many trials and tribulations that all I need is the love and support from my husband and kids. And in talking with Mick last night about certain events that have happened this weekend, he loves me and doesn't have a problem talking to me, even if I don't want to hear what he has to say! So in saying that, it doesn't really matter to me what other's who might have a problem with me think. He doesn't judge me, he just accepts me for who I am.

Kind of interesting to know that someone with whom I have been with for 13 years is able to do that but other's whom I have known my whole life can't!!

Guess what??

I found my cord for my camera. Here are a few pictures that I have put together. Not the one's I was talking about from the past, that is still being worked on.. But hope you enjoy a little of what we've been doing..
