ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING AND OTHER HAPPENINGS

New shoes for Coco

Kelli's needed break

and April snow

Plus...Tom announcing at a gymnastic show

Can't believe we got 4" of snow on Friday! Where is spring? Usually our creek is running by April 15th and it's been so cold it hasn't even started yet! If it warms up fast we'll definetly have a bit of flooding.

Kelli took off Thursday for a much needed break- her first from her boys. I took up the slack time between her leaving and Jason coming home from work- only 4 1/2 hours- but boy was I tired when I was done! I don't know how she does it all and keep a smile on her face! Brad and Jensen were great- it's just that there's TWO of them! But I LOVED spending the time with them, they are so cute. I think Kelli and I must sound a like because sometimes they would look at me startled when I would laugh or say something.

Cari had a booth at a trade show and I stopped by there for a minute while they were setting up to help with Kaylee. She is still really small- but that doesn't hold her back- she's so active- both physically and mentally- she really reminds me of Cari at the same age. She was hungry and there was some Costa Vita burrito thing there so I fed her the beans, rice, lettuce, and steak-pretty much any of it and she LOVED it all! She cracks me up. Congrats Bill on running your first half-marathon!!

Here's a picture of Tom multi-tasking (it doesn't happen very often so I was glad to capture it on film ;-) I was getting ready to show the Center to someone so he took over holding Coco for me.

That's aREAL cowboy shoeing him- Mitch is great and, infact, Tom home teaches their family and his wife visit teaches me. They asked Tom to annouce at a Gymnastic/tumbling exhibition their daughter was in Saturday to raise money for her and her team mates that qualified for nationals! Tom did a great job and it was a fun evening.

Tom and I have actually been riding 3 times this past week. Vet orders that I have to take it slow on Coco- so Tom's been coming with me on Annie for the 20 minute rides around the block!

Beautiful today- but I see snow in the forcast-ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
