First Rodeo


I'm officially part time now and I was hoping to have a little more time in my day... to take showers, clean, sleep.... I finally took a shower and it's 9:30pm. I am spending more time with the girls which is awesome!

We spent the weekend with my parents and went to a rodeo. We were able to see and pet sheep, goats, bunnies and cows. We saw and smelled the pigs, bleh. I saw "mutton bustin" which is little kids riding sheep. Most of the kids fell off about 5 ft from the gate but a few held on for over half of the arena. It was the funniest and cutest thing I've seen. My Dad wants Sophia to try it next year... we'll see.

This picture was taken with my phone and I really wish I had my big camera. This is the first time my Dad has reminded me of my Grandpa. My Grandpa was shorter but he had the same saggy in the butt jeans and shoulders. This picture truly touches my heart. It also makes me realize my Dad is getting older.

Abbey on the slide

Abbey actually climbed up the slide part and made it to the top. I think she's going to be even more of a climber than Sophia.
I was trying to encourage Abbey to slide down on her own and Sophia encouraged her with a foot. I LOVE Abbey's face.

Mommy doodit



This post is for Ben...he's the only one who will get it.


Spiderman



Sure superheros might save the world but Sophia is there to do the dirty work you never hear about. Sophia needed a diaper change but before I could change her she had to change Spiderman.




Cheers


This picture makes me smile.

How to avoid laundry



I'm behind with about everything including downloading photos and updating our blog. My laundry was overflowing so much I bought a bigger hamper to solve the problem :) Yeah I know it doesn't technically solve my problem but it looked better.

Rather than do laundry or other not so fun things I made some finger paints for the girls. It's pudding with food coloring added. There was a lot more eating than painting.
