I thought if March was in like a lion it was supposed to be out like a lamb??? March 1st was 16 degrees and today a winter storm. We were very lucky that most of the snow did miss us.We only got a couple of inches of snow instead of 5-10 inches they were calling for. The wind was really blowing this morning. All of the area schools called off school for the day. Susan, my boss, told me just to stay home and not venture out on the slick roads. I did not argue with her :-)

Kyle thought the girls needed to get out of the house for awhile, so he took them over to visit Grandpa and Grammy for awhile. Aubree was so tired that she fell asleep shortly after she arrived and Jenae talked Grammy in to making some no bake cookies. When Aubree woke up from her nap she was able to get in a ride in tractor and on the 4-wheeler before heading home.

I hope that April brings warmer weather and lots of sun shine.

Well I survived getting my wisdom teeth taken out! Actually I fared pretty well. I really did not swell up very much. As long as I keep ibuprofen in my system I am good to go! I stayed all weekend at my parents house so I could have a little help with the girls.

We had a play day at my parents house on Saturday. Danielle's 3 boys joined us as well as Dusty & Erin's little girl, Brooke. It gets pretty WILD when the 6 of them get together. A good time was had by all.

It sounds like we could be in for quiet a spring snow storm tonight and tomorrow. Last I heard they are calling for 6-11 inches of snow and the wind is supposed to be blowing. I really hope that the storm misses for all of the baby calves (and the Ranchers) sake.

I will try to post pictures from the weekend at a later time.

I have Wednesdays off and I love my Wednesdays. We had a good day today. We were able to go riding with Kyle today to check for baby calves. One cow was a little snorty with Jenae on Beauty, but it all worked out ok.
Jenae was excited to spend some time with Grammy. After Marilyn got out of school she picked Jenae up from our house and took her home with her so they could do make some puppets. Both girls LOVE to spend time over at Grandpa and Grammy's house.
Friday I am going to get my wisdom teeth take out. I really do not have any idea what to expect. Some people seem to have no trouble with getting them taken out and others seem to not get along so good. I guess time will tell how it will go for me. My mom is going with me and and will be staying with them for the weekend.
Kyle is headed up to Minnesota to put on a steer wrestling school for the weekend.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Things have been going well for our family. The girls seem to be growing up so fast. We have been busy with potty training. Aubree seems to be "ready", we have been working on it for about a week and she has made good progress :-).

It was a year ago tomorrow that Aubree was life flown to Children's Hospital for intussusception. That was such a scary moment in our lives, one that I hope to never have to experience again. Watching your 6 month old baby be strapped on to a board and sent off in a helicopter is a very helpless feeling. We are thankful everyday that she if fully recovered and doing so well.

Jenae has been keeping really busy riding Beauty. She has become quite the ranch hand. She would much prefer to get to stay home with Dad or Grandpa as opposed to going to day care.

Kyle was in Texas this past week. He left down there Saturday night, he was over 1000 miles from home. He made the trip in less than 22 hours by himself. We were all glad to see him coming down the driveway about 8:00 last night.
