Wilstem Ranch

Over Memorial Day weekend, we went camping with some of the Legan family at Wilstem Ranch. Well, it wasn't really "camping" because we actually stayed in a pretty nice cabin. It was a wonderful getaway. My sister-in-law was wonderful, as she watched the kids on Saturday and Sunday so I could get some riding in. Bekah got several opportunities to ride with both Daddy and cousin Beth. A nice relaxing weekend...
Thanks Mark & Phyllis!

Of course, although Wilstem Ranch was nice, it wasn't as nice as good ole' Rawhide Ranch!!!

Bekah has Quit her Pacifier!

Yesterday, I decided it was time to start weaning Bekah off the pacifier. I had read that a good way to do it was to cut a little bit off the tip each time until it no longer soothed the child. So yesterday, I just cut a little bit off the tip of her pacifier before naptime. When I gave it to her, she looked at me and said "Paci Broke? Trash!" and ran and threw it in the trash can. She did this twice. Naptime was a little rough because it was so new. But by night time, she knew that she had thrown her beloved "paci" away (she did the same thing when I offered her another pacifier with a cut tip before bedtime) and only cried for a short little bit.
She's growing up!

She also got an early birthday present on Friday.

We bounced and bounced all weekend and even had the neighbors come over and bounce too. I think this will be a good investment, especially when Blake is old enough to bounce too!

Double U Ranch visit

The kids and I went to Double U Ranch on Saturday evening and had a great time with the Peddycords, Double U's and their kids. Thanks Patty for the best steak I've had in a lllloonnnnggg time! Here's some pics:

How did Josh & Jenny each end up with one of my kids?


Poor Lauren!! Looks like Bekah just ran off with her princess costume!


Aaawwwww....

Thoughts for the Day...

Aaaawwwww.....

Zoo Day!

We had a great day at the zoo today! The weather was great, a steady ~70 degrees and a little overcast so the animals weren't shy about coming out in the open. The only drawback was that every elementary school in the 5 surrounding counties decided to take a field trip to the zoo. Blake was great, Bekah got to pet an elephant and feed a giraffe. I'd have to say Bekah's favorite part was the carousel, though, she loved it!! Overall, a successful zoo trip!

Miscellaneous Update

I haven't posted anything recently because there really hasnt' been much going on with the family, except recovering from being sick. Unfortunately, we had to take Blake back to the doctor yesterday who said he has a couple of nasty ear infections. Stinks... but they have him on some more powerful antibiotics now that will hopefully kick the problem. Poor little guy...

I'm taking a vacation day from work tomorrow and Kay (babysitter) and I are taking the kids to the zoo. I can't wait - the weather is supposed to be nice and mild and I'm sure the kids will love it!!

Also, over Memorial Day weekend, we're heading to Wilstem Ranch! Looking forward to this trip and actually being able to sit on a horse again, even though it won't be Budha.

This is what I got for Mother's Day: Morphy Richards Food Fusion Kitchen Machine. It's awesome! I made my first batch of cinnamon rolls with it last night and it worked like a charm. Twice as powerful as a Kitchenaid! What sweet, thoughtful kids we have!

With all that said, I'll just leave you with this one last thought, this is what happens when you fall asleep around my family:

I've really been wondering what to do with this picture and this is the best I could come up with ... sorry Peepaw. Just for the record, Bekah added the pony.
