Gymnastics

Gracie decided on her latest activity to be gymnastics! We had to choose something other than swimming because all the classes filled up too fast. She had lots of other choices but not knowing what half of them truly were, we resorted to YouTube for a good example, and well all the jumping, flipping and hanging from bars is right up her alley! So she is now part of the Blue Angels and LOVING it!

Weekend out and about

Between the variation of weather days (changes so frequently it actually reminds me of UT weather!) we have been trying to do a family outing at least once a week! We have gone many places and lots of adventures and sometimes the simplest ones are the best! The Imagine Children's Museum is up there pretty high on Gracie's list, its a great indoor/outdoor place just for kids and is a mixture of science and just plain fun!

But our latest trip to the local antique museum I think might just be topping her list! It's FULL of old farming, logging, train and mining stuff from around our area. When I say FULL I mean it too, oh and did I mention there are LOTS of working displays! It's ran by volunteers, one of which gave us a most excellent tour and showed Gracie how everything worked! We were there for hours, even Presley enjoyed watching everything! The highlight of the tour was when our tour guide fired up the old steamer and Gracie got to pull the horn!

She was not too impressed when she learned how laundry used to be done!

Why Birthday's are better than Christmas!

My title pretty much sums it up and this is why!

 

Turning 6 is the best thing ever!

Nine Months

Presley hits 9 months next week, not sure where the last nine months went.... Oh and just started crawling this week. Rather I want to admit it or not she is growing up!

But not too fast, cause this was Gracie at 9 months.....

Bunnies!

A local 4-H group held a fundraiser for their bunny club, get your picture with real bunnies for Easter! Super cute idea so what the heck right! You could even pick your bunny, so Gracie picked the white one and a baby one for Presley. The baby one kept sniffing Presley’s toes and she was not so thrilled with that! Of course Gracie wanted a bunny to take home, and I said no (yes, mom, I know, even though I partook in bunny 4-H at one point, I am not doing it, yet...)

Settling in

Well we are moved in and starting to settle in. Gracie has started riding the bus to school and thinks it's the coolest thing! I am glad she likes it since she is one of the 1st stops and rides for about 45 min before they are dropped off!

Brian is enjoying having a shop once again and is easily distracted from putting things away in it to seeing how many trails he can blaze with the Rhino on the property! Gracie of course is right there beside him! Her only concern is when her tree house is going to be built!

 

 

And yes we have had more gray rainy days than sunny....But the nice days are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am learning to live the glass is half full not half empty, be optimistic and enjoy the good days and deal with the soggy days (I don't think I will melt.)

 

In between un-packing I have gotten to go on a couple rides with some friends of mine. Twister is enjoying getting out and having something to do outside of the arena. We are looking forward to this year's show season and cut some cows!

 

 

 



Moving in

Well we are moving into our new place finally! I forgot just how much fun buying a house is, not! Its been a rollercoaster thats for sure but it's ours now! I will post pictures later after we get moved in, we have a fair amount of work to do right away (floors, painting ect.) Gosh, didn't we just do all this..... :) life is an adventure so why sit still right?
