4 legged best friend.

Sorry to the 100% of my 5 blog readers who could give a "you know what" about horses.

But....I had to share a picture of my new best friend.

Have been lucky the last few weeks and have gotten to ride him in my lessons.

Not a great picture. He's in the cross ties....about to be saddled. Ain't he purdy?

I love Wednesday.

Turtles & Easter

It took me 2 days.....but I made these cookies. All from scratch. I have the best cookie book on the planet....helpful for people like me that are horrible at reading and following directions.

It's just lots of steps....but I think they are so worth it. My jeans on the other hand DON'T.

Easter rivals Christmas for me.....I have always liked it. Such an important day....but without the pressure of presents...wrapping....decorating...parties....and the candy is pretty good too.

Day started with an Easter egg hunt....more time in the kitchen....clean up....put on a dress....go to church....listen to an amazing message from the smartest pastor....home for more cooking...eat....candy....eat again....pie....candy....game of go fish....clean....candy....say goodbye to family.....eat....candy....sit. Dang good day.

Hunting "doodle bugs" has become part of my girly girl's daily schedule. If she can't find one....the day is no good....not complete.

Yesterday...we found a box turtle in the yard while hunting the crustaceans. They aren't really bugs. Part of the isopod family. (your "I learned something today" moment)

I had a few turtles in my day. Only box turtles were allowed. Water turtles have salmonella....

Wonder why I am so germy......hmmmmmmmm.

My previous turtle experience came back to me and I remembered how much they love grapes.

He ate lots.

Left fat & happy.

Just how I feel after today's Easter dinner.

I love Easter.

4 years

Hard to think that my 10 pound newborn has grown into this beautiful little girl.

She can buckle her car seat all by herself now. Thank God. ;)

We celebrated her special day from dawn to dusk.
The birthday girl having a difficult time staying still to capture a picture with Gana & Minnie
Recital pictures were scheduled on her birthday....what 4 year old doesn't love getting dressed up in a frilly over decorated outfit?
Day after her birthday.....trying to get shots of my two "kids"

This picture is a perfect example of what lots of my pics end up looking like. ;)

Neither one will cooperate.

I did get ONE good one.

Happy birthday to my favorite kid.....
