Staheli Farms

Skylar and her pumkin

Ryder and his pumpkin!

Grandpa Sherratt showed Skylar a secret watermelon patch and so she picked one and brought it home. It tasted really good!!!

Our family has made a tradition of going to the Staheli Farm pumpkin patch for the past few years. This year it was a lot of fun because Robby and Camille and their family were in St. George and could go with us. It was a lot of fun and we even got pumpkins this year!!! Usually there are not any good ones left when we get there.

My First Deer Hunt

Me and my #1 guide !!!


Well I drew out for a deer tag this year and I got to go out 2 times. Opening day Zach and his dad took my out to Pinto. I think I saw 1 buck but I only saw him long enough to think he might of been a buck so I of course didn't get a shot.
Zach arranged for a baby sitter and packed a little picnic for the final day of the hunt. He took my up to Bumblebee. We rode the 4 wheeler for awhile and I said it is too bad that one just won't walk out in front of us and 2 seconds later a doe and 2 fawns did. It was kind of funny. We got up the road a little ways and then we decided to hike up a little hill. We hiked 50 yards and Zach said there's a deer. ITS A BUCK!!! Right on the hill across from us was a 3 point. I was so pumped. I looked at it and it was just standing there so I took a shot and shot it right in the butt. It started running and I shot 3 more times and missed it every time. But we watched it and it layed down right next to the road. I was in shock. I said that was easy, let's go get it. Zach told me we needed to stay still for a little while, and let it die. Then I got a little sad. I said maybe I wasn't a hunter, I felt bad. We made our way back to the 4 wheeler and we were going to roll the 4 wheeler down to it when we heard someone coming. I was scared that they would see it and shoot it so Zach said shoot it again. I tried and I totally missed it but it scared and ran and I could not ever find it. Talk about a bummer!! We looked until it was too dark to see. There was a big pool of blood where it had layed down but no sign of it. I was so bummed. Zach even got up early the next morning to see if he could find it but no luck. I guess better luck next year or whenever I draw out again. I better practice shooting!!!

Saydee and Ronin




Saydee has been celebrating her birthday for almost a full week. Tuesday was her birthday and she took treats to her class at school, got sang to about 10 times and we took her to Applebee's for dinner so that she could get sang to once again. Wednesday she had a birthday party at Discovery park with about 20 of her cousins and friends. It was a High School Musical Party and she got a lot of wonderful gifts from all of her thoughtful friends. THANKS!! We then went to St. George yesterday and she had cupcakes and balloons at her Grandma and Grandpa Sherratt's. It has been a great birthday week for her!!


Beautiful Fall Leaves

Last Friday we were able to go up Cedar Mountain to look at the beautiful fall leaves. The kids were so excited to see all the colors and just be together as a family. It was a lot of fun and sooo pretty. Skylar, Ryder and Saydee waving their leaves in the wind. They were so excited to bring some home and put them in a vase of water.
Ryder wanted to be running through the hills looking for bulls!! He is so funny!



Ryder, Skylar and Saydee freezing but enjoying the pretty leaves. They really wanted to find some red leaves but we had a hard time finding any.



Zach and his girls, they love their dad and the mountains!!

T Ball 2008


I know that this is out of order but I am playing catch up because I have so many pictures and nothing done with any of them.

This past May and June Saydee played T-Ball. She loved it so much. I think what she liked the most is that her dad was her coach. He was so good with the girls and even wore a pink t-shirt to every game to show his pride.
