Dude Ranch



Our friends the Tanners







Yee haw! We went to a dude ranch for spring break with our good friends the Tanners. It was a good time to be had by all. By the time we left I wasn't as fearful of the horses and the last one I rode learned I wasn't such a green horn after all. He was messing with the horse in front of him and the horse finally kicked him. I saw the hand writing on the wall earlier, as the horse in front of us kept looking back and giving my horse dirty looks. So when THE EVENT happened, I was ready for it and held on for dear life when my horse reared back. Ride'em cowboys!

Maddie talked the entire first ride to someone she has just met, oh what a shy one she is my girl, she was talking and wasn't watching, her horse took her too close to a tree and scraped up her arm and knocked her hat and sunglasses off. It didn't faze her a bit. Roy and I were ahead of her. I was too busy trying not to be scared of my horse and couldn't look back for fear I would fall off, but I could hear her. Roy seemed very at home on a horse, either he has riden before or is a natural cowboy. We also danced to country tunes at the pavillon the first night. I haven't danced in a coons age and had a great time.

Hail and tarnation







If you haven't heard, Austin had a hail storm last night. About 7PM it started raining and went down hill from there. We lost two windows in our home and my windshield in my car, not to mention assorted dents in our front door, gutters and both our vehicles.ARG!

Baby's first hair cut.




News flash..... the hot new hair cut for a 7 year old girl is shoulder length hair. One by one the girls in Maddie's class have cut their hair. About a month ago Maddie decided to cut hers. I made an appointment with the hairdresser and here is the result. Isn't she lovely!
