Wild Horses

Last Thursday Caden got to go on a field trip to the BLM wild burro corrals. They watched a video on how the burros and mustange are caught and cared for. Then they got to go out and see some of the animals. The night before a foal was born and the kids were able to see him that morning. It was pretty exciting.


They also showed the kids were and how they give the horses vaccinations.


And how the horses hoof are cleaned and shoed.


Afterward they went to the park to have lunch and play for a bit. It was a fun day and Caden learned alot that he had a great time telling us when he got home. :)

And I thought I loved you then

Twelve years and counting


P.S.
The new song on my playlist we heard for the first time today. Trent and I agreed it sounded just right for our 12 years together. :)

The ABC's about me!

You've been tagged! You are supposed to write a note with the ABC's of YOU. At the end, choose 26 people to be tagged. You have to tag me so really you just need 25 more people. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you - but not in a creepy stalker kind of way. ( I am not going to tag 25 people - seems a bit excessive!)

I was tagged on facebook with this but wanted to put it here as well so others could see it and so I could also tag a few other people. I want to tag Vicki, Torri and Sam. :)

Y - Yummy food you make: My mom tells me that my chicken and rice is yummy and one of her favorite things. A few few of my brother-in-laws have told me that my dutch apple pie is really yummy.

Just maybe....

...I am not dieing after all. Since Sunday I have had a terrible sore throat and have been running a fever off and on. Tevan came over last night to help Trent give me a blessing. Today I have actually felt like I might live. I really hope no one else gets this bug. I don't think it was strep but pretty close.

Stay health. Love you all

Here comes the Easter bunny!

Last night we let the kids decorate some hard boiled eggs. They only got 3 each as a dozen hard boiled eggs is more then enough but they enjoyed it all the same.

Getting started. Tricia is only in a diaper because we didn't want her clothes to be dyed also. :)

The kids had great fun with the wax crayon. Trent drew the bunny on this egg for Tricia.

Here is all our colorful eggs.

Then this morning the Easter bunny visited us, sense he knows we don't want to hunt eggs on Sunday. Wasn't that nice of him. ;). The kids had a blast looking for their eggs.












Here was our fun! Hope everyone else had or has a great time also. :)

Depression

Hmm, here I am again. Funny, I think I can get away from it but it always finds me in the end. Now that I am looking at it, I have been fighting it for a few months. I know some of you don't understand or care. I am not looking for sympathy or anything. Mostly I have found when I put these things into words I can fight it better or at least try.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. Love you all.

So exciting

Tricia said her first family pray all by herself tonight. And her first blessing on dinner by herself yesterday. She is getting so big. :)
