Rocky!

Brent decided he wanted a fish! He's been talking about it for a while and while running other errands, Scott brought Brent to pick out a fish. Here's Rocky! Brent takes good care of him-feeds him every am and remembers too! Brent bought him w/ some of his bday money. Brent had some friends over last Sat for his friend bday party. They played football, dodge ball with water balloons and other games. Scott was in charge and participated in all =) The boys had pizza and cake. Brent and the boys had lots of fun!

What else is new..................I worked 5 days this last week and 4 the week before. It's a great job and 3-4 hrs/day. Works great with getting the kids to and from school. I've mainly worked at the high school running one of the registers. Serving food a couple times too. I stay really busy and the time flies by. The ladies are really nice to work with-the kids are pretty respectful too. I for once actually enjoy going to work!

School is going well for all. We had midterm reports come home for Brent & Maddy. They're doing great! A few comments on Maddy's that she's very talkative! Brent had the same report last year too =) They're very chatty but can also get their work done while they talk! They've all settled into their routines, homework and Hayley getting up early. They all enjoy school and are making friends.

I'm still helping at the barn. Bo is up and back in the pasture! It's such a relief to see him healed! There is another horse Dolly who is also blind-very sweet horses. I have to walk out in the pasture to see my gal Cinnamon. The horses have been staying out at night and she doesn't come in to eat so I walk to see her.

Loveland's Homecoming parade is Thursday and Hayley's cheer squad will be riding on a float with the ftball players. It should be fun to watch! Last year it was canceled because of the storm.

Scott & I are in bible study on Wed's nites at church. We got lucky and our pastor is leading this. Usually this class fills up quick and it's only offered once a year as it runs the length of the school year. It's pretty interesting-learning lots already!

Maddy's riding her bike!!!!!!!!!! She hasn't wanted to try because she's scared she'll fall. I may have mentioned this as she tried a few weeks ago. Well I had her out 1 night and Scott last night and she's got it! She turns and can stop w/ control! She was so proud of herself!! Us too =) It's great that she can ride w/ Brent & Hayley and the other kids outside!

Happy 8th Birthday Brent!






















The big guy is 8 yrs old! He had a fun day despite the fact he was in school. He brought cookies to share and got to pick some goodies from the office. He wanted home made mac n cheese and pumpkin pie. The recipe I have makes 2 pies so he was excited one was all for him =) He got Lego's, some books, golf balls, and $$ from grandma & grandpa. His Lego collection is growing! Oh and he did get a new set of golf clubs a few weeks ago. We didn't have 8 candles so we improvised! Next Saturday he's having some friends over for a party. Happy Birthday Brent!!

Meet Cinnamon!




Here she is, my love!! I lay my head on her face and rub both sides of her. Isn't she sweet and beautiful! I'd adopt her in a minute if I knew what I was doing. Bo is still hanging on this week! The vet was up yesterday taking his gauze out. He's still trickling blood but alot better than last week. The fact he's still here is wonderful and he should pull thru. I love it up there!
We had a good week. I'm tired with being back at work, the kids in school, getting up before the birds, etc. I worked everyday this week! UGH! =) boo hoo huh??? I worked at the high school a few days-interesting. Fun and a bit of a shorter day.
Hayley had LYF Youth Night at the high school Friday. We all tailgated w/ pizza and snacks before the game. All youth ftball and cheer teams went on the field to be recognized. Loveland's hs team got trampled but it was fun anyway. The kids liked watching the marching band. Hayley of course liked the drums.
Today we're just hanging out-great lazy day! I sat outside and read and took a snooze. It'll be great to have tomorrow off.
Brent is oh so excited for his bday! Me too =) he wants pumpkin pie for his bday instead of cake! So I will make him one fresh on Thursday.
Well, off to get kids in bed. Take care!
