What to do?

My in-laws took all three girls to Arizona. Wait, let me rephrase that. My father-in-law drove from Idaho to Arizona with all three girls by himself. He's crazy and it sounds to me like the kids were in about the same boat by the time they got there. But they're all gone. And I'm not entirely sure when they're coming back. So "What to do?" is my mantra.

Not really--I worked all day (until after 8 pm) on Thursday and worked Friday. And (can you guess it?) worked Saturday morning. I tell you what, it's a good thing I like Dr. Burr or we'd be in a lot of trouble. Last evening we went up to the ranch to check bear bait. Nada. This morning we saddled up the horses (doesn't it sound like I'm a cowgirl? I even wore my boots!) and checked the cows. My sits bones hurt. We found 1 dead steer. Don't have a clue what got him. I didn't fall off the horse this time and he was pretty good about listening to where I wanted him to go. Most of the time.

We came home and took care of dogs, then went to church. Back to take care of dogs and an emergency. Now I think (since I can) I'll go to bed. Tomorrow it's back to the grind and I can't wait to see my girls again...at some point.

Father's Day

So I'm a day late (and probably a dollar short, I'm not sure I haven't looked at our checking account lately) but I was busy over the weekend.  The girls came home (2 days early) and I was in Utah running the Wasatch Back.  And I pretty much missed Father's Day. I got home at 7:30 last night and Colby had made the girls dinner, cleaned up, and started the dishwasher.  They were watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  Had it been Mother's Day, he never would have lived it down, but he hasn't said a word (maybe that's not a good thing).  He's a great dad.  As I get teary just sitting down writing this, knowing he will never see/read it, he's amazing.  He's a hard worker and does it all for the girls and me.  He doesn't (usually) complain about anything and does what needs to be done.  He loves the kids and probably missed them as much as I did while they were gone.  I don't give him enough credit for having emotions about anything, but ...

In A One Horse Open Sled

Today we unloaded a couple tons of hay and Colby saddled up Lightening and pulled the girls around our 3.5 acres.  They had a ball and especially enjoyed singing "Jingle Bells...in a one horse open sled."  They make me laugh sometimes.  Ok, fine, a lot of times.

Holy Sm

I started typing in my title and when I finally looked up and saw (at that very point) that I've already used this one. So to reiterate, Holy Smokes! I can't believe how much I have to catch up on! Maybe tomorrow when I don't have visiting teachers coming, cleaning for my mother-in-law to make an appearance, Madie's piano lesson, 6 violin lessons, rehearsal and somehow I found time to pinch poor Meriden's finger in the front door, I'll download some photos from 1. Christmas (What?!? I still haven't done that?) 2. New Years Eve/Day 3. Madison and Mackenzie's first gymnastics meet videos and photos all before we go to another meet this weekend in Salt Lake, making sure I look like a good mom since my mother-in-law is in town (aka having food on the table at a decent hour), teach a few gymnastics classes, getting ready for Madison's big 9th birthday, taking treats into her class and actually getting packed and to Salt Lake all by Friday at 3 pm. ...
