Sunday Fun!

Andrew and Kate riding

David and Daniel roping

Kate and Jimmy riding.

Yesterday was a beautiful day even though the wind was chilly! Too pretty to stay indoors! Jimmy and his brother, David, went in together and bought a new saddle on Saturday. So yesterday, they had to test it out. Daniel (Jimmy's cousin) and David decided to rope some. This was the first time for Kate to ride a horse, she really enjoyed it. As for me, I enjoy taking the pictures. I love horses!! Just not riding them. I thought I would eventually enjoy riding them. But every time I get on one I look down and just get woozie and think, "man it would really hurt if I fall". So, I enjoy watching everyone else enjoy!!

Chocolate & a Gator, What More Could a Girl Want?

My little nieces, Kate (2 1/2) and Claire (8 months) got themselves a Gator. Right now, Kate is the only person who can enjoy it, but give it another year. Her and Claire will be fighting who gets to drive! My brother-in-law, Hugh, just got back from a trip to New York and he got Kate the world's largest hershey kiss. Least to say, Kate had a good day! Hugh got Andrew (nephew, 12) some extremely sour candy. Usually on the sour candies, once you suck the sour stuff off the rest is actually good. But this type had a middle layer of sour, yuck! I tried the watermelon flavor, too chicken to try the lemon! All of us were puckered up!!

This Weekend

Had a good weekend! Friday afternoon I went to my sister's house to babysit the "wild bunch" while she and her husband went on a religious conference. We all had a good time. We played basketball, ate pizza and watched a movie. Saturday Buck went back home with me. The main thing he thought was cool was riding the Rhino. We rode to a bridge down the road from our house and looked over to see if we saw any snakes. Then we drove to a big field and I let him drive. As long he didn't hit a cow, we was good. He thought he was really cool! As you can see in the pic, the dust was getting in his eyes and he HAD to wear my sunglasses. Later that night we went to Jennifer and Jereme's house and ate with the rest of the cousins. We always have a good time when we all get together. Above is a pic of Buck driving the Rhino, and a pic of Elizabeth (my sister-in-law) and me. This weekend I was introduced to Facebook... My sister has high speed internet, I have only dial up.... But I spent about 2 hours on Facebook. Love it!! I haven't been on it since Saturday because my old computer is so slow! But, for my birthday (which is Saturday) Jimmy got me a laptop. We went to Best Buy last night and got it. So, I'm hoping my dial up will be a lot faster with this new computer so that I can maybe get on Facebook tonight and see who all I can find! I'll let y'all know!

Happy Birthday Tracy!

Today is my sister's birthday, Tracy. Happy Birthday Tracy! How old are you??? 39??? Yes, that's correct, next year we'll have to celebrate her BIG 40! Someone once told me that the older you get the faster time goes by. That is so true! In a couple of weeks I'll be 36!! But hey, getting older is better than the alternative! Above is a picture of Tracy and I taken last year. I wish I had a picture of us as kids. I'll have to find one and scan it in and post it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!! Love your little sis!

Super Bowl Sunday!

I know it's been over two weeks since my last blog, but I really have not had much of anything going on.... I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Super Bowl Sunday. How many watched the Super Bowl? I had no intentions of watching the Super Bowl. Jimmy and I wasn't cheering for any particular team but we started watching it and ended up watching the entire game and some of the after game stuff. I'm not a big football fan (sports is not my thing....). When there is a team I'm cheering for I get so nervous, my stomach start hurting, and I end up walking away from the game and just catch the ending score. I just can't handle all of the anxiety! And it just tears me up when my team doesn't win. So I usually don't watch any of it.... But last night, since we wasn't rooting for any particular team, Jimmy and I had a good relaxing night. At one point we was rooting for the Steelers, then at another point we were rooting for the Cardinals. Then at the end, after that touchdown by Holmes, we were glad that the Steelers won. Basically it was a fight for who wanted it the most! Before the game we went to Jimmy's brother's house. We had a great time playing with Andrew, Kate and Claire. Above are a few pictures of last night. One picture is of Andrew with something on his back and Kate riding. That is called a "Daddle". It's a saddle that you but on your back. Poor Andrew, he put the Daddle on and had to give Kate a ride. Andrew is such a great big brother! Another picture is of Jimmy and Kate with a nerf gun. They were in a gun fight with Andrew (he had the other gun). Sweet little Claire is getting so big. She's crawling everywhere! Elizabeth stood her up on the side of the couch. She can stand there as long as she's holding on, but she doesn't know what to do with her feet yet. It's just a matter of time..... I hope everyone had a great weekend. Hopefully, it won't be another two weeks before I post again....
