Spring Break in Review

I LOVE being home!

I loved spring break - no plans, just hanging out, kids outside in the awesome spring weather.

Here is what we did -

• I made a garden and planted it too
• I did close to 45 loads of laundry
• I bought 12 baby chicks
• We rode horses, one of which ran off, another who likes to roll in the mud thought it would be fun to roll in the mud - with the Princess on his back
• We got stuck in the mud
• The kids branded some calves
• The kids dug in the dirt making a 'cave'
• We had 18 people in our house
• We bucked some bulls
• I've loved every minute and don't want it to end

The Story of Four Cousins

Four cousins, four years apart, 2 sets of brother and sister.

They grew-up together, practically inseparable. Always together and normally trouble not far behind.

Each married their high school sweethearts, each married at age 21, each has their own family now. The 4 became 8 and the 8 has now become 18 in just under 12 years. The next generation of cousins ranges for 9 years old next month to 3 years old at the end of July, 5 boys and 5 girls.

We don't all get together nearly as much as we like. This week we all ended our spring breaks together. They all came to our house to go camping. We bucked bulls, we rode horses, we fished, we killed snakes, we played in the pond, we cooked, we ate, we got a little bit of sleep but most of all we laughed and enjoyed one another.

THANKS FOR A GREAT WEEKEND GUYS!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Did you know?

That horses like coffee?

They do.
Two weeks in a row they have knocked over The Cowboy's coffee to get a sip.

Silly horses.

She Cracks Me Up

Little Bit was out playing on the porch with the dog. She opens the door sticks her little face in and says, "Whatcha think mom?"

I say, "I think you are crazy."

"NOOOO, think-a something else, we already know that"

Babies

There may be nothing so cute as baby calves. I LOVE them! I want to hold them and pet them and squeeze them and call their name George. Their mamas may not like that.

Don't you just want to plant a kiss on that sweet little star on her forehead! Go ahead - I won't tell anyone you just kissed the computer screen.

These two are up to no good - they are planning 'something' or maybe the one is telling the other my mama's milk is better than your mom's.

I think the bald-face one has just told the others, "My daddy can buck better than your daddy." UMMM, sweetie, I hate to tell ya but you all have the same daddy.

WHAT? He thinks - I'm related to these guys? Yes, darling now play nice with your brothers and sisters.

They are curious, they are sweet and they play and I LOVE them!

Go ahead, no one is looking, plant a kiss on their noses!
