Yeee Hawww!!!

This beautiful Saturday morning I decided to take the kids to Meme and Papa Owens house to ride the horses! The kids absolutely loved it! Carpenter sang the whole time while riding the horses. He said two new words while we were out there: jog(which is a speed in between a walk and a lope) while he also signed "more", and Zip(which is the name of Papa's dog). When having a child that is a little slower to talk, you rejoice in every word he says. Sadie did not want to get off the horse. She through a "fit" when we would try to get her down. Sadie would grab a hold of the horn and dare you to pry her off. My favorite "fit" she throws is the "drop down fit." This is the "fit" where her whole body goes limp and she screams at the top of her lungs! Marley got on the horse a little bit. She is still a little afraid from falling off last year. I can't blame her!

Later that evening we went to the Long's house to see how the irrigation system was going. They had accidentally cut the sewer and water lines! Dirty work! But they all got it worked out at about 9:30 pm. While Pop-Pop, Jon, Lee, Erick, Erick's dad worked hard, the kids and I played! Carpenter enjoys playing in the sandbox and throwing things down the slide. Sadie just wants to be let into the playhouse. Carpenter likes to keep her out! So when Carpenter heads to the sandbox, Sadie goes to play in the playhouse. Marley loves to do tricks on the swings and dance around the yard. Gran and Pop-Pop's house is a wonderful place to play. They have a nice fenced in yard, beautiful plants, wonderful shade, and tons of toys.

Here are some pics of playing kids and tired men!
