Four Years and going Strong

Ben and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary a week ago. I couldn't be happier with you Ben. Happy Anniversary

Always been good with the Kids...

This is a picture of me holding my cousin Torrey. It just shows I have always been good with kids.

Fun Show, Good Times

This last weekend my parents had a fun show at their house. Everyone had a blast. This is the kids egg and spoon class. Charleigh held onto her egg with her opposite hand (which is aganist the rules) When it was time to go faster she said" Alan, hold my egg, go fast" which meant hold onto my egg while we run, so that I do not drop it. Needless to say she placed last(she was disqualified)

A VERY SAD DAY....

You might need to sit down before you read this. Yes, it finally happened. Charleigh rode this horse until the screw wore through the wooden dowel. To add insult to injury, the screw put a pretty big scrape on her little buttocks. She was very upset and keep saying she got bucked off.
Notice her reins(a must have) she calls every rope "reins"

Getting wild and crazy! Time to yell Yee-haw, ride'em cowgirl!

She would ride in the yard like this for hours a day. Sometimes she would get her flag and hold it up and sing the National Anthem, well the "oh say" part of it anyway then she just mumbles the rest. Some days she would jabber on and on about Scooter-bug, she would yell "walk, walk Scooter-bug." then she would make the kissy noise to make him run and she would take off riding like crazy. She would yell " hey Mama wook me, runnin' !" translation: look at me Mama, I am running. often times she would say WHOA! WHOA Scooter-bug! and then pat him and say "good-boy." She talks NON-STOP she is a jabber box and every other word is "WHY?" "WHY?" "WHY?"

Her Hat's off to you.....

Any time Charleigh puts on her cowgirl hat she has the urge to take it off, wave it in the air and yell YEE-HAW! As you can tell from all of these pictures she feels that urge quite often.

She loves it anyway...

Yeah, she loves to wear this swimsuit even though it is too big for her. Maybe next year!
