Goodbye

Last night we said goodbye to a very dear friend and family member. He'd reached his old age and time wasn't on his side anymore. Blaze was an amazing horse and friend. He never failed to show how steady and true he was. He never missed a step or put anyone in harms way. Was always willing to lead the herd without a second thought. Not only was he reliable, but a genuine beauty which no one could dispute. It's on to greener pastures budy, you will be missed more than you'll ever realize.

Slacker Update

I know I have been totally slack on this lately, but baby number 2 is not cooperating as well as Wyatt did and I've been feeling pretty misserable the past few weeks. So not much has gotten done in general other than what had to be done. Robb's been picking up my slack and helping while I rest (and by rest I mean go to bed when Wyatt does). But I think (knock on wood) I might be starting to feel a tiny bit better...there are more good times durring the day than there has been, so I'll take what I can get. We go for the first ultrasound next week to get a look at the little bean and make sure everything looks good so far. Can't wait!

We've had to sell a few horses, some of the older ones, recently. That's been no fun. But we need to make sure we've got time to get some new ones in and ready for the summer season. So Robb is in the middle of getting everyone lined up and ready for the summer. Can't believe it's time to start thinking about the summer already!!

Robb's also been working on some more renovations on the house as we adjust our thoughts to the realization that we're going to have two babies in the house this year. So he's working on getting a couple of rooms fixed up as we try to decide who should go where. Hopefully after we get this big renovation part complete, we'll be done for awhile (I hope!!!) I really think we'll be able to relax on the major changes of the house after this one, so that'll be nice to have that behind us. Also, if anyone gets bored and wants to come help, let us know!!! :)

We went up to Boone a few weekends ago to visit a couple of friends. They also have a baby the same age as Wyatt (3 weeks older), so that was a blast! The two of them really got along well and had a ball playing together and chasing their cats around. It was nice to see Stephanie and Nick and catch up on all that's going on with them. Don't get to do that nearly enough it seems.

Wyatt is now learning sign language. So far we've got Please, Thank You (sort of) and More. He's even putting them together like More Please. So cute!

Here's some new pics!

Yay for swings!

Forget the slide, look at the rocks!

Owen's Birthday party...helping play with the new toys!

On a mission

So this deserves a story...He woke up early the other day
and I still needed to finish up a few things, so I put up the
gate and let him play in his room. After a little while I hear
him starting to get a little grunty, so I go poke my head in
and find this. He'd climbed into his toy bin, got stuck and was
signing please out when I came in. So cute!
