HELLOOOOOOOO!!!!

Hello Blog world!! I know it's been a long while......I will try to catch up with pics later. We have been super busy. The Holidays were great. Saw family and friends and remembered how lucky and blessed we are everyday. Michael is still recovering from his broken arm.....now they say there is nerve damage. We are praying it returns....waiting process. The girls are busy with school and ALL their activities. KD has basketball every weekend. The girls are also still working with their lambs. The show is this weekend.

Just wanted to fill everyone in on what the kids were up to and that we are still trying to find time to blog. I will post pictures in the next day or two. Michael is on vacation, so there is a little more time in the day for stuff like this.....................boy, we sure do miss him!!

Crazy Days

It's been crazy here.........Michael broke his arm Sunday. His right arm is totally no use for six to eight weeks. So guess who has to do everything!!!!!!!!!???????? When I have more time I will post pictures of Halloween, and maybe of the injured one............are goal now is to keep him slowed down so he doesn't hurt something else!!!!!!!!! And he is now out of sight...............gotta go!!!!!!!

Inspirations

I saw this and thought I would share:

"....We are all dreaming of some magical rose

garden over the horizon instead of enjoying

the roses blooming outside our windows today."

Horses

Maddie and Marty rode yesterday afternoon. Maddie rode Patches, and Marty worked on his newest project, Mongoose!!! This horse has come along way and Marty is really doing well with him. He is really good with horses, and loves working with them. All the kids love to go riding with him. It is usually a fight to see who will ride with him. Michael was sleeping, and KD was in sick, so Maddie won an easy war yesterday.

Basketball Camp

Maddie and KD are going to basketball camp at PSU. They go on the weekends. This was the second weekend of camp, but our first to attend. Michael had the flu last weekend and KD has been really sick this weekend. Maddie went and had a wonderful time. The boys basketball team is in charge, so it was fun seeing all the college boys working with the kids............very cute!! I was really impressed with how smooth it was ran, and everything Maddie learned on the first day. Her favorite part was defense. Michael's favorite part was running back and forth from the bathroom.........I bet he went to the bathroom 15 times in 2 hours!!!!!!! At least he is going now.......he is doing great with the training.....he doesn't even have any accidents in his pants!!!!!!!!! Yea -- NO MORE DIAPERS/PULL-UPS!!!!!!!! Maddie is in the front at the block.
Ball handling drills-Maddie is the one at the front of the pic.

For those of you who have never been to PSU-and that have-it has really changed. They have added so much and its super nice. The Noble center is where the camp is held. It has two courts with a walking track, two racket ball courts, a swimming pool, huge weight room, and so much more!!!!!! It was very exciting to see all the changes!!!

The Creek is Full!!!!

These are pictures of the creek behind our house. From last Saturday to Monday evening it had rained around 6 inches everywhere!!!!!! We have lived in this house over 6 years, and I have only seen the creek like this one other time. I was standing by our back yard when I took the pictures.
