Yesterday was just a great day for me. It was so fun to get to talk to everyone and not have to just get your messages from Jim. sometimes he forgets to tell me that you have called and then I may or may not get the message. Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts and the phone calls. We had a great BBQ done by Jim. He always makes the meat taste so good. Kim and Janae and their families came over. Then Jim took the kids for a ride to check our the farm. I guess, from what I heard. they went down to the bass pond by the zip line. They played for a while in the wash out from the spring run-off. Then Jim showed them some "Quick sand". It was just really muddy boggy mud by the pond and if you stepped on it for very long you would start sinking. They all were having a great time seeing who could get in the most. Jim said Dallas was in up to his knees. I am sure glad there were no mothers or grandmothers along for the ride. We would have never let them do that. They came home all muddy and completely dirty. They were so excited and kept talking about how much fun they had had. More memories for the grandchildren. Jim was so suprized by Cassi. She fears nothing. They all headed for the showers when they got back to the house. It was nice of Jim to take the kids because they were gone about an hour and a half and it gave the moms some time to just sit and talk.
I have been really busy working in my yard. It is the time of year that the weeds are growing faster than the flowers and they need a lot of work to keep them down. My garden is starting to grow. I hope to get my corn planted tomorrow. I have a plan and hope to doa little on the list every night after school. I got some brick pavers and put them around my flower gardens around the house and they look really nice. It just makes the flower gardens look more groomed. There is so much to do. I love working in my gardens but I have the time now. I remember how my lawns use to be when I had small children, dogs, places to go and things to do. I remember that saying that there is a season for everything and this is my garden season. It comes to everyone. Just be happy to be where you are and take your time to be with you children. They will be gone way to soon. Gardens will come later.
It has been a little chilly today, at least jacket weather. But by Friday it is suppose to get in the high 80's. We are ready for some warm weather. We sent the kids off to Camp Wooten this morning at school and I hope they don't have snow up there.
Grandpa got his donkey carts handed out at church yesterday. Everyone loved them and he even had some left over. So you may all get donkey carts at one time or other this year.
Well I had better get some dishes done. It is almost 8 and Jim and I worked outside until 7. So I have other things to get done. Thanks again for the gifts and telephone calls. i love hearing from you and listening to what you have going on in your life. Love you mom

I am glad you had a great day, you are a great mother and grandmother. Kids love mud, or anything that ruins their clothes, I am finding out. :) I can't wait to see your yard, garden, and flowers. I really loved being up there our first year and learning some tricks from you. It will be so fun to get back up there in a few years and do it again.
Sheryl I am so glad you had such a great day. You deserved every minute of it. That cracks me up about the mud-I guess I am going to have to loosen up as a mother.
YOu have made my pregnancy by telling me you are coming down when we have him. I seriously am so excited. Even though I have my mom I am so excited to have you here 24/7 to just help us out and more than anything help me out. We're both thrilled and even have meals planned. :)
Hang in there these last couple of weeks. It's sure been bitter/sweet for me. love ya!
