I am not even attempting to catch up just go from here. And this is a very very long post but I have to share a story about our Heavenly Fathers love for us. We decided to say our good byes to our horse Copper. I have had Copper since he was 2. We have bought and sold him back twice. He was Dallee's and Porters first 4-H horse. He has had cancer removed once. This horse has been so good to our family. We have loved him so much. He gets special grain in the winter. We love this horse. The kids can climb on him anywhere bareback with nothing on his head and ride him. They can climb through his legs. He was a great great horse (teary eyes). This was not an easy decesion. We knew that he was getting more stumbly, hurting more when we rode hard, not keeping weight on, so stiff in his back leg, he was getting old. We prayed (mostly me) that when we decided to put him down that we would feel peace and that we would be able to find something that the kids could still use for 4-H and trail ride, move cows etc. Well it was decided that when we went to take Shandons cows home that Copper would stay there and be taken to the bone pile(where all the good ones go) and be " put to sleep" D had a very emotional night a few days before with tears and sobs and "Im not getting attatched to another one" . We had our cry and that was that mostly. So we get home Saturday night. We have moved cows for 2 days had a great weekend, left Copper and its ok. J says look at this Craigslist ad. I said lets wait until spring, $150 hay..... So we call J calls I ask questions that he didn't ask so I call back aand set up a time to look at her at 9 am the next day. Sunday we are heading to my parents welcome home. So we ride her bareback tell them we want her and will come get her that night. She is a free to good home, well bred, 19 year old mare trained as a reining horse. We get her that night after a fun day of being with most of my family. The owner gives us her papers and we go home. She is so well bred. 3 of her great grand sires are famous horses. One a race horse and 2 cutting bred. She is so well put together she looks great. We have yet to put kids on her for a full trail ride but they have ridden her in the pasture and seem to get along fine. So there is more to come. Anyway Heavenly Father loves us ands wants us to be happy. I am so grateful for his consideration for our family and our horse and our hobby. I am not amazed at his goodness to us because I really thought it would turn out something like this yet I am amazed that he loves us so much and is so good to us. I am forever greatful for a loving Heavenly Father that takes into consideration so much. To 4 kids this was a pretty big deal too. 4 kids have seen how prayer and faith work, how much He cares for us, and that we are so so loved. We miss Copper and hopefully "Skinner" works for our family but I 'm pretty sure she will.Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-16841776504499348172011-10-26T21:48:00.000-06:002011-10-26T21:50:13.671-06:00<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6qso-G6jaMlLEgzFYae6eX-ZB5sKXAaWc-d7whyphenhyphenriuUQjW4zkZzIId4WJTvc1x_ZjPDUQ9DDYfJRBR2xlz2SO_d-0PQESpqXS0MQm8l38qhZ2t7uDWH5GVH5vxQZJnhiU1MnrAYIT7g/s1600/PICT0011.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6qso-G6jaMlLEgzFYae6eX-ZB5sKXAaWc-d7whyphenhyphenriuUQjW4zkZzIId4WJTvc1x_ZjPDUQ9DDYfJRBR2xlz2SO_d-0PQESpqXS0MQm8l38qhZ2t7uDWH5GVH5vxQZJnhiU1MnrAYIT7g/s320/PICT0011.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

We went and saw my parents on their mission. What an awesome place. We had so much fun. We hiked, did the challenge course, went on the lake, enjoyed being with Gramma and Grampa, played horseshoes, loved every minute of it.

We rode at Harriman State Park the other day and had a great time. i think I feel a new found freedom not nursing, pregnant, nor will I ever be again so we can go for the entire day and have a great time.

We went on a ride today. It was nice going but hail coming back. Literally. It hailed and rained everyone cried but we made it back and everyone was happy in awhile. This is where we had lunch. It was an old set of corrals and we could get out of the rain for a minute. I was wishing we had matches to light afire. It was not the warmest of days. 39 degrees to be exact but we were sure that "it will blow off and be nice soon" We were soaked. I put clothes on the front bench and the were steaming a drip. But we made some memories and who said they all have to be wonderful and good and positive. We will remember this ride for along time. Sometimes the kids want a story and most of the time they start out with "one day we decided to go for a ride so..." The other picture is a field that is not usually under water near my parents house. Lots of water.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-89530718172284434262011-05-19T16:00:00.000-06:002011-05-19T16:01:25.594-06:00P's baptism<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhScNKOsp5jqBIT6vCAUgCVJpHlXYeGa_8I22wREkz-rr6uoQIFlXTRC7JWxegMyrDGtSmIHAowS9EJ_EEXDi6_d4T-g1FJ09oj0izL-J-FcyFD2TRX-zDq6C091ADj9-RH3yM2T1_opQ/s1600/PICT0014.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhScNKOsp5jqBIT6vCAUgCVJpHlXYeGa_8I22wREkz-rr6uoQIFlXTRC7JWxegMyrDGtSmIHAowS9EJ_EEXDi6_d4T-g1FJ09oj0izL-J-FcyFD2TRX-zDq6C091ADj9-RH3yM2T1_opQ/s320/PICT0014.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

What a fun day. P was able to be baptized with 2 good friends. This is J's parents. Mine missed because they are on a mission. We had such a neat day. Later he read me his journal and it said "I got baptized today and felt the spirit very much."

This is how cheap rednecks harrow their pasture. Hook 2 pieces of hog panel to 2 bikes and pull till your heart is content and legs are burning. We did pull a harrow around with a 4 wheeler later. P drew this picture after we got back from moving cows for 2 days. An 8 year old perspective. If you can't see it is the view of a cow from the "tail end" and he is saying "yah cow" . D was holding a horse and reading a book while they both chilled.

We took my brothers cows to the hills today and yesterday. We all went and drove and rode because Grandma and Grandpa are on a mission. The older kids rode and did great while the younger 2 rode in the pickup and had almost as much fun.

D did great in 4-h. So did P. Between both of them classes, record books, open classes and everything, there was only one red ribbon. Everything else was blue. Pretty great. We had a good 1st year and we will be doing it next year. D was in the top 8 of her halter class,pretty good for about 30 kids. She got to go back in and that was fun. She did good riding too. Lambs they had a great time. I don't have any pictures of P but he did showtoo. D was doing really good in her lamb showmanship and he started rearing and bucking so she got flustered and started crying but she got it together and did good. They had a good time so hopefully we are life long 4-hers because it is a great thing.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-89943418005754889092010-08-19T17:52:00.000-06:002010-08-19T17:52:50.069-06:00STP<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVlRsFvckm_wCJQqcH8cq1MfpXFFRUYUldGS7g4eRXGgqu9kdgOlQff1a_iDrxylxH7ayp921-9NSELclRbpyycRB19uddo8DaTc_UQu1os-vavquJMyDqBWSbREWpe2lKFvm0l5whUA/s1600/PICT0202.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVlRsFvckm_wCJQqcH8cq1MfpXFFRUYUldGS7g4eRXGgqu9kdgOlQff1a_iDrxylxH7ayp921-9NSELclRbpyycRB19uddo8DaTc_UQu1os-vavquJMyDqBWSbREWpe2lKFvm0l5whUA/s320/PICT0202.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

We had a tea party on our computer keyboard on the way to Seattle so I am just now getting to blog. I will try to blog a few times in the next few days (in between naps and pain meds) and catch up summer. We had such a great time in Washington and Oregon. J rode the STP Seattle to Portland. 204 miles in one day about 14 hours with feed stops. He rode with 3 brothers, a nephew, and 2 other somehow related family. We got to follow them from stop to stop and we had a great time. There are 9,993 other crazy people that want to ride that far also but about 3/4 of them do it in 2 days. I can't imagine getting back in the saddle after a 100 mile ride just do it all in one day. They had a great time. We drove along the coast to go back to J and B house. We went on the ocean in J boat one day and to the lake the next. We ate fresh berries till we were sick, some of us more literally than others. We had such a great vacation. It was so fun to see where his brother and his family live and to stay with them. They are awesome hosts. I am still amazed 204 miles in one day by choice? Whatever makes your wheels go round honey, Good job.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-67072392048195914122010-06-06T20:57:00.000-06:002010-06-06T20:58:11.422-06:00Summer<a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yRAquncRh2alnB2IDR100Vfq3DEAvqIxRsFjD4Lqpdw-wBrkAFLjknQo6m123CNGP9mESxx7ySvbbxASkh0ovPAGWJrD5mEUvfWBzF1_ennOSkn3FJDzo1AoIofctuY5TGRX0ItlnQ/s1600/PICT0005.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yRAquncRh2alnB2IDR100Vfq3DEAvqIxRsFjD4Lqpdw-wBrkAFLjknQo6m123CNGP9mESxx7ySvbbxASkh0ovPAGWJrD5mEUvfWBzF1_ennOSkn3FJDzo1AoIofctuY5TGRX0ItlnQ/s320/PICT0005.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;' /></a>

D is in horse 4-H this year. She was alittle nervos as we walked to the arena, she calmed down rode did great, had fn and we got back to the pickup and she said "Mom that was so awesone" Hurray I thought. She was able to make some new friends and did so good. She wanted to ride a few days later and it was cold and windy and I was having a difficult time getting excited to take everyone out, saddle and all those things, about five minutes later I see her ride by the kitchen window. She had caught her horse taken her through two gates while keeping two horses in the corrals and got on bareback by herself. I promtly got shoes on B and went out. She is having fun. J and P were riding and it was so funny to watch, P was watching his dad every move and would copy him they were being so goofy. This is my sisters kids they were over playing and all of them were under the trampoline playing fetch with Dora. They had a great time, they really need a good dog like Dora. B had just got a haircut so I stripped him before a bath and couldn't resist because he is so dang cute. Some day it will warm up and we can really enjoy summer.<div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-6398959201383832562010-05-30T15:39:00.001-06:002010-05-30T15:42:01.949-06:00My amazing husband<a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisPTLeF_kDP-8udrmQD4pq6MWLQ2OvkIz2Ia5w-BsraYxTWTQOvMZm1Y_XxMcqh8AE1lFLaKWiVlE9IB_dmFbY16B3hd74Hnh9K6jueyhyphenhyphenT9FOLDkUtQwB0SEGibb4kRTbQ7nI81MFGg/s1600/PICT0075.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisPTLeF_kDP-8udrmQD4pq6MWLQ2OvkIz2Ia5w-BsraYxTWTQOvMZm1Y_XxMcqh8AE1lFLaKWiVlE9IB_dmFbY16B3hd74Hnh9K6jueyhyphenhyphenT9FOLDkUtQwB0SEGibb4kRTbQ7nI81MFGg/s320/PICT0075.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;' /></a>

J has been riding his bike for just over a year now. He loves it. It helps him relieve stress, gives him time to think, he is able to get away (even though sometimes I do want to curse his me time, maybe I need a bike) and is great excercise. He entered a race on Saturday. It was blowing hard at times, raining, and even snowing for awhile. But he did it. It was only 25 miles but it was an up and down with parts between 5-9% grade. The last 3 miles were all up hill. It was a beautiful ride. After he started in the snow we waited for a while and then found him and followed him for the last 7 or 8 miles. It was really hilly with a resiorvior at a spot, lots of cows, freeway frontage for a mile or 2, and an amazing rock canyon with a nice little creek running through it. It was amazing to see him do this race. He worked so hard and wanted to quit quite a few times but he didn't. He finished even though he couldn't feel his hands because of the cold and was soaking wet from sweat and rain not to mention burning calf muscles and a tired sore back and his bike was acting up and trying to shift gears when he would stand up but he never got off and walked. And as if that isn't enough he isn't sore at all today. Holy cow makes me want to push myself alittle more. Yes I really am bragging I know but isn't he amazing. He finished in 1 hour 49 minutes. Look at the grade nad the surroundings. Amazing.<div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>The pictures of the kids asleep is on the way home from the race.

School is almost out. Yeah I think. A couple of things to catch up. I went to Muffins and Moms with P at school. It was fun. They had written about their moms and why they love them. D had Parents, Pies, and Poetry. They each had choosen a poem and then did some in groups mostly Shel Silverstien. It was fun to see the different personalities come out in the poems. D did a good job sharing her poems. We got 4-H lambs. We are doing horse and lambs. D is any way P still has another year. It will be an adventure. The family picture was Sunday morning before Stk conference. We had an extra hour so we took a few pictures. J took B for most of conference so I really enjoyed it. J I mean B had alittle nap in the foyer even. D had a piano recital a few weeks ago also and did very well. It is so fun to watch these little kids grow up. They are growing up so fast. We saw pictures of the family when M was about B age it was just yesterday. How I love that I can go to these things at school, that I can be home when they get home from school, and be home with my 2 littlest monkeys all day. I wouldn't trade that for a vacation home in Island Park, Disneyland trips, a nice ranch in Montana?, a brand new minivan, or a Dutchman RV. I love being a mom.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-16679042329573587552010-04-28T14:36:00.000-06:002010-04-28T14:36:36.207-06:00Really this is all<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6iefEh0TxX5eSFrUx6JTnabS-AtFsLqOmdk3hYoPX6r0c9-9u8c4IVQNwTryu-e0df24X1Y9y4QypDbi7OHDQkF_CO_OLXImDf9QpuIkVsRSXyU04qEQeezziMISOC5EkpowbQJaTtg/s1600/PICT0074.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6iefEh0TxX5eSFrUx6JTnabS-AtFsLqOmdk3hYoPX6r0c9-9u8c4IVQNwTryu-e0df24X1Y9y4QypDbi7OHDQkF_CO_OLXImDf9QpuIkVsRSXyU04qEQeezziMISOC5EkpowbQJaTtg/s320/PICT0074.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

I relive this everytime I look at the pictures and I missed showing J on the pony, Max. Someday he will be a nice horse for the kids in the meantime J does great with him. I also missed getting B and M in the mix so I think that is all. Until I look at them again and find some more that are blogworthy.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-18270899240232408652010-04-27T12:03:00.000-06:002010-04-27T12:03:58.917-06:00Cows to the hills<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbEUrvxOHVxYkvC0jX0h_KwWKmwrz4kLBnE7Ualucqi1iODmrIJq0_Fyvb2BR0vz7WGtx3Cp9h94ipnk5SZ4Zbw2g44zjHxxOTG5bdbNKj4HcXqJkFBvFCQP8K5SZGuZt9jqOIyUpCJw/s1600/PICT0018.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbEUrvxOHVxYkvC0jX0h_KwWKmwrz4kLBnE7Ualucqi1iODmrIJq0_Fyvb2BR0vz7WGtx3Cp9h94ipnk5SZ4Zbw2g44zjHxxOTG5bdbNKj4HcXqJkFBvFCQP8K5SZGuZt9jqOIyUpCJw/s320/PICT0018.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

I don't know what pictures these are but there was one of P riding with Gus a cousin, J on the pony,Max. Dallee is in pink on Moe, there is a partial family of P,J,me, and D. We had a great time Dallee rode on Saturday her own horse for the whole ride. P rode on behind me and Gus and walked part of the way. It was fun to be together. The pony got some good training and was almost tired by the time we got there Sat. The other kids stayed with Gramma and then she brought them up when we got there. Sooo fun. I still just want to be a mom and a cowboy when I grow up( if that happens, the growing up part.)<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-4705479146349490412010-04-12T20:57:00.000-06:002010-04-12T20:57:22.025-06:00just a few more<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl4_yA6UMS6UrxCON6fmHeAHn_zzY1PzoczukluJAeFtY-GG_hZDXtG1v_hyg4eJF0zLGpYeSjoPcj8NojkZK6UKh_6uuOZccXoXdAUfbFI1XFSPUXJgLTBV0dEbIQofp-XI7ccnTCxA/s1600/PICT0017.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl4_yA6UMS6UrxCON6fmHeAHn_zzY1PzoczukluJAeFtY-GG_hZDXtG1v_hyg4eJF0zLGpYeSjoPcj8NojkZK6UKh_6uuOZccXoXdAUfbFI1XFSPUXJgLTBV0dEbIQofp-XI7ccnTCxA/s320/PICT0017.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

Call me crazy but this is one of my favorite things to do. It was a mostly pleasant day with a little wind. It could have been blowing 50 MPH, or snowing like it was Christmas ( or last week) and it would have been a fun day. I think one of the reasons besides the ropin and ridin part is being with my brothers. They are fun. This is 3 or the 4. We missed T. It takes me back to when we were kids and we did this same thing every year. We talked about the spills, the wounds, the loops, the help, the sores. When I grow up (if that ever happens) I want to be a cowboy.<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-72648626517248964492010-04-06T11:04:00.000-06:002010-04-06T11:04:54.760-06:00April showers<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWEbawnZnoHxniM5UnOPT7MG5xuLADDiMywHfw6JLSoICIP5cXFrSJPVHMHXgcRxWr1WCnvb3aI5iy9J-C9Nmql-fB3F0WpnUuC3YxXk7BilY6AnAPeoqSOLILRLlNaCN2ZmfGfS5xOw/s1600/PICT0007.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWEbawnZnoHxniM5UnOPT7MG5xuLADDiMywHfw6JLSoICIP5cXFrSJPVHMHXgcRxWr1WCnvb3aI5iy9J-C9Nmql-fB3F0WpnUuC3YxXk7BilY6AnAPeoqSOLILRLlNaCN2ZmfGfS5xOw/s320/PICT0007.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

These pictures are of the lawn that J just fertilized yesterday, the swingset with the baby swing that B just played on yesterday, the bench that M made "prefake" pie out of mud and gravel, the cement that I swept off, the flowerbed that I prepared for planting, and the firepit that we had a "Indian Camp" at just one week a ago. Just remember that April showers bring may flowers. I don't know what April snow storms bring but I'm sure it's good too.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196538928544615560.post-83708793431870440502010-02-22T13:54:00.000-07:002010-02-22T13:55:06.456-07:00KIDS<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeDUsTSCpifC2lWt1ZYimr-nKpAyLpG4ehDMTdS4rbrlx7984RP2zHxxwvcxola-BIQM07zOdBuWI9g8fsMt2m2xpmYwkArT-NAbNk_MY46otNKbRdM9J8hyETq_Mv2p95LmNnh7DeA/s1600-h/PICT0006.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeDUsTSCpifC2lWt1ZYimr-nKpAyLpG4ehDMTdS4rbrlx7984RP2zHxxwvcxola-BIQM07zOdBuWI9g8fsMt2m2xpmYwkArT-NAbNk_MY46otNKbRdM9J8hyETq_Mv2p95LmNnh7DeA/s320/PICT0006.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div>

P has loved this new pony. This is him standing on max and jumping on him too. B loves to unload the lazy susan and he got in here and was mad because he couldn't get out. Hope winter is treating you good. We are having a good time. Happy Valentines Day too.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234066159780055906noreply@blogger.com4
