Campfire Fun!


Local wildlife. We trapped him in the play pen. Who knew
this little animal would like Raspberries!

Good friends. Good food. Good fun.

Cute campfire kid.

THIS is what happens when you give a baby a twinkie.

Run! Run! As fast as you can....

This is Fred.

He runs.

Really fast.

Racing season is underway! I spent about 6 hours at the track today with Mom, Lee, Tray, and Crystal.....not to mention a couple hundred Utah cowboys. It was a great day of racing and LS Lazy Fred qualified for the big race on the 31st.

LETTERS..

Dear Mom,

I don't know how you do it all. You are AMAZING! I love how you love. Unconditionally. Constantly. Sweetly.


Dear Dad,

You protect me. I always feel safe because of you. No matter what happens you have my back. I love that chapstick makes me think of you. Being wrapped up in your hugs is my favorite thing.


Dear Kenzie,

Your strength is inspiring. You are the core of our family. I love your laugh and late night tap dances.


Dear Kelli,

Patience and happiness...you emulate these. I am so grateful you are my sister. More grateful that you are my friend.


Dear Fjola,

I love that you make my son smile. It makes me smile just thinking of how much you are adored by him.


Dear Lee,

You are a dedicated father to TEN, grandfather to 22. One of the most dependable men I know. You love my mom....that means the world to me.


Dear Linds,

You are my friend. You love my son. I consider myself lucky to call you friend.


Dear Marc,

Thank you for our 'brown-eyed boy'. I will forever be grateful. You are the best daddy and I love that he adores you.


Dear Gabe,

I love you more than I can say. My life is perfect because of you. I love that you are so full of questions and that you still like to cuddle with your mom. You are such a sweet boy! I see your dad in your personality. I see your Mama Lindsay's dimples when you smile. I see my eyes staring back at me.

Brothers...

Posted by PicasaThese two cute Blackburn Boys sure do adore each other.
Gabe has the sweetest little sister and brother. So glad
they get to spend so much time together:)

I'm FIVE!

Cowboy Gabe just turned 5

Power Ranger cake for the COWBOY party.

It's what he wanted:)

What's a party without a pinata!

Posted by PicasaWe had Gabe's first friend party this year. It was so much
fun for him. Although I have never seen such a nervous
little boy waiting to see if his school friends would come. We
played pin the tail on the donkey, raced stick horses, opened
presents, ate cake, and took a swing at the pinata.
It was a great day and we had one happy 5 year old cowboy!

Bestest Friends



These are my girls. Ray and V. Couldn't live without them.
The last 3 months have been a rollercoaster for me and
these ladies were there whenever I needed them. Late night
packing/unpacking, Sonic runs, or just chillin....couldn't have survived
without them. Luv yer guts girlies!
