Making Progress

We seem to have made quite a bit of progress in the last few weeks.

Tara's hair is finally long enough for pigtails...Well kinda.  Haha 

"Pretty good stuff, but don't you dare touch it!!!"

County Show has come and gone.  We didn't do as well as expected, but ended up with a 2nd and 3rd place.  I can say that we definately learned a lot and he's ready to go again next year.  We didn't have a lot of help from dad this year, but now that he knows what's going on, he's "in it to win it" next year! Ha 

Koy got to show too.  Too bad it was a goat!!!



I came home to find this under my carport, which means they are actually getting stuff done on my house.  So exciting!  After a month of living with MaMa, I'm more than ready to go home.  Don't get me wrong, she's been great and we are so grateful she is letting us stay there, but it's time to go home.  My whole family is out of whack, and I want them back!

This reminds me of E.T. for some reason! Ha

Any suggestions on what color to paint our bedroom???  It was this color when we moved in and we just never changed it.  Now we are at a loss about what to do with it.

Footprints on the celing....hmmmm.  I wonder if they stepped on it before or after they put it up!?!  Haha

 We, and by we, I mean I had to pack up the whole house and "move out".  I wouldn't mind so much if I could actually go somewhere else!  We are very quickly outgrowing our first house, but we will probably still be there for a while longer.

My boys have been out of school 4 out of 5 days this week due to ice and snow.  To top it off, Kase and Tara have had asthma/breathing trouble, Tara, MaMa, me, Robert and Kase (in that order) all had the stomach bug, and Tara has been running fever.  Since their doctor is 30 miles away and we pretty much have no choice but to stay home, we are just giving breathing treatments and tylenol and praying they all get better!  This was just a small chunck of ice/snow I pulled off my car this morning.  Robert and I have been going to work, so poor MaMa has been stuck at home with all three of them this week.  I think we all need to leave this weekend just to give her a break!

And last but not least, Tara has finally outgrown her fear of the carwash!  She still doesn't like it, but this is the first time she hasn't had a screaming fit.  Of course, this was the time I had my video camera ready, and nothing!
