Opening presents.

Charleigh got so many great gifts, just about every gift related to horses or dancing. she got a new headstall for her bridle, a new lariat rope, ballet shoes and new leotards all kinds of fun things. She got 2 of those big horses that you see at Walmart ot Target and carries them Everywhere! When we were opening the boxes they came in she told us not to rip up the "stall" like Uncle Cecil did when he opened her christmas present. All it is is a cardboad box with a design of a stall on it, but we of course still have both "stalls" right by her bed.



Yesterday Charleigh was "writing letters" to family she showed me the paper filled with squiggly lines like the letters you see in the cartoons. She asked us if we wanted her to read them. One was to Uncle Alan, it read : Uncle Al, I wub you, you are so funny, you is a robot and a monkey boy. Ben and I were laughing at her so of course she wanted to read another one. It was to Charity. She said " Charity hank you for my present, Rick hank you, I wub you bury much, Clementine I wub you so much Kyren I miss you so much."
I knew I wouldn't remember it later when I wanted to tell someone or put it on here so I wrote it all down as she was saying them. There were a couple more but they basically said "I wub you, I wub you so much. I wub you and miss you and wub you........

They Say its Your Birthday....

Charleigh's only request for her birthday was a "Scooter Bug cake." When we would ask her what she wanted for her birthday she was only mention the cake. I would try to see what kind of presents she wanted and still she would say the cake. When we decided to have her party at Incredible Pizza I showed her a picture and told her about it and asked her if she wanted to have her party there. She asked "can I still have a Scooter bug cake?" I wonder how many times I will make this same cake.

Happy birthday to you....

Charleigh's Birthday

Eating Pizza!!!

Just Dandy...

This is the night of Charleigh's birthday. Clementine came over to stay and play. Here they are playing "dandy" with Ben. For all of you who know Dandy, he is still going strong! For all of you who do not, he is Charity's 1st horse. He is 30 something and has done it all. He has thought many kids and even some adults how to ride. Charleigh has riden him a few times and now she likes for her dad to play like he is Dandy and give her rides all over the house. A couple of weeks ago the weather was half way warm, and Charleigh had been begging to ride, so we went for a ride. Ben got kicked in the knee by another horse and was hurting pretty bad. Charleigh was worried about her Daddy and she was crying. I told her he was fine and made him say it too. (he said it through a dry heave) Charleigh was still crying and she said "but I want him to be okay, I will neber eber(never ever) play Dandy again" So the truth comes out..... Ben is fine no major injuries and he has been playing "Dandy" for about 2 weeks now!!!
