Where to start! We've had a couple of really busy weeks out here! Last week's clover bud meeting was so much fun! The kids were so excited about the information from NASA! And I'm way to experienced at building space ships now! Inside note, glue sticks do so much better than elmer's on that project! Next month we're going to get a tour of the new fire station in town and the new trucks! Bobby said that he would even let the kids blow the horn! They are going to love that! The kids are anxious for baseball to start up! They cleaned the mound this week so we should be starting soon. The kids are working really hard in school. Mom & Dad are coming this weekend. Mom wants to do a bit more tweeking on Shyanne before her reading TAKS! I picked Wyatt up from school this morning with a stomach bug. The jello is nearly set and he's been able to hold down a couple of glasses of Gatorade but the poor baby has been feeling really rough. And let me tell you cleaning it out of the back and front seat of the suburban earlier tested my stomach. Pepto and eggs aren't a good mix! YUCK! Dakota is doing great! He's hanging with Jack today so I can keep him away from Wyatt. He painted his toenails with Shyanne's purple polish one day last week. When I first asked him, he told me it was blood. Then after asking Shyanne ( because I was a little worried about the floor that this project took place at), Dakota told her that Wyatt stole her polish and spilled it on his toenails! HA! HA! It is just amazing that it neatly got on each and every toenail on that foot! Next story, Preston was driving to the barn. In the middle of the road was a neatly stacked pile of rocks. Preston asked Dakota if he did that! He says, Yes Daddy, I had to bury that snake that I killed! Preston went back and sure enough, a very flat snake (non-venomous)lay at the bottom of that mini tomb. Shyanne stood up for Wyatt this week at school! She said that her best friend was picking on him. WOW! I really thought that we would have snow or ice that night! Mrs. Hamilton asked me to hide eggs for the Easter party and figure out a Easter game to play at the park! I thought about the egg relay but I'm looking for other fun and appropriate games for 4th & 5th grade. Paula will be finding out the sex of her baby on the 31st! I think that about covers the kids endeavors the past couple of weeks! Hope everyone is great! And Keyla we are still praying for a speedy recovery! I hope your first week back at school was good! We love you!

It's RAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! We're finally getting some MUCH NEEDED rain! We got a 1/2 inch last night and it has socked in here pretty good this morning! Shyanne was not appreciating feeding horses with me this morning, but the boys went with Preston to shoe horses this morning. She is now playing the Wii while they are sitting in a truck over in Sheffield!
We went to NB with Preston over the weekend! Lissa & Naqi were down so we got a bunch of wedding errands done! Invitations,check. Bridesmaid dress measurements & order & shoes, check. Junior Bridesmaid dress and accessories, check. Oh Shyanne does look like a princess in it. She wanted a pink sash though so that she would match Miss Hannah & Miss Brooke at the wedding. Wyatt wanted to know where his Tuxedo was and Dakota didn't care as long as it was the one with the hat. He even offered to wear my old wire white cowboy hat from the fair when I was a kid. You know the one with the feathers. It can be bent into whatever you want it to look like. And he thinks that his new tennis shoes the Skechers Ventilators are his Tuxedo shoes. Let me tell you, Lis is so excited!
Wyatt is a might upset, he wanted to work goats on the Banner Ranch again but Dad says that these pastures are a bit too rough for him yet. He'll be there before we know it. Ruby's chest is all the way healed up. YEAH!
I'm so excited Lissa brought my clover kids some fun things to do next week from NASA. They will play games, build a space shuttle, get pencils and stickers and get a photo of the current team! It is so awesome! The 4H kids took a trip to the Mcdonald Observatory in Fort Davis last summer. So, this will be such a cool follow up for them. Anyways, we're enjoying spring break. Hope everyone has a great week!

We have FOOD!

We went to the grocery store in Del Rio Saturday! YEAH! It took right at $700 worth of food, but I am restocked! That was a record, 8weeks! So, in the grand scheme of things it wasn't that bad. I had a heartbreak Saturday night. One of my bottle babies, Nick died! I never take those well when it happens. The kids are doing good! Shyanne has her writing TAKS tomorrow. Wyatt has his poem to recite tomorrow! Dakota is still keeping us running! We have Spring Break next week! Well, I gotta run! HAve a wonderful week!
