Kylee was all (toothless) smiles today since she got a visit from the tooth fairy last night.  (Second visit this week!!)  She dressed in her Easter dress today since her grade is going to the nursing home to sing Easter songs and deliver cards.

Spring Playday #2

We had another playday this last weekend.  It was like 95 degrees, but the wind was also blowing like 95mph!  It was a lot of fun though.  The kids love being there all day playing with all their friends and riding their horses.  CBob did great in his events, then he got too hot and threw up, all over his clothes.  And of course, the #1 mom that I am, didn't have an extra set, hence the nakey pic at the bottom.  He ran around from 1pm til we left at 730 with only a diaper on.  Well, plus ALOT of dirt.  We had to spray him with sunscreen every 30 minutes, so he really was a "dirt magnet."  Kylee did great.  I didnt get many pics because I forgot to charge my camera battery, so I was trying to preserve as much as I could to get pics of Kylee since I wasnt there for her first one.  I videoed CBob's so the one pic I have of him, I stole from Holly again ;). Thanks!

Loaded up and truckin!

A few weekends ago, CBob was playing out the back door and I found him hooking his cozy coupe up to the spray rig. I ran in and got my camera and followed him around. It was hilarious. He would check the hitch, and then the lights, he even banged on the trailer and hollered at the imaginary cows. His miniature cow dog followed him around the whole time. You think he has seen this done a few times?! (This pics are posted in the complete reverse order that I wanted them posted.)

San Antonio, TX

I had to go to San Antonio for a week for work last month. It was a fun trip, but lots of work and very tiring. I was so ready to get home and see my family and rest! It was hardest on Kylee. She was so sad that I was gone. Here are some fun pics of the trip and a letter that Kylee wrote me at school. (Again, not in the order I wanted, but not fighting blogger.)
