Sweet Sisterly Love

Every morning when Fallon wakes up she has a routine...
She gets her juice...
She gets her blankie...
And she gets on my lap to cuddle.



This particular morning I was rushing to get out the door and jumped in the shower as soon as she got up. When I came out of the bathroom this is what I found. Taytum had turned on the cartoons and was cuddling her baby sister. Talk about making me feel bad! I am never going to go another morning without cuddling my baby, she is growing up so dang fast and pretty soon she is not going to want me to touch her.I need to cherish these moments while I still have them. Thank you Tater for taking such good care of Fally and for making mommy see the bigger picture! I LOVE you girls!

Tadpole the pony

Our friends, the Tibbitts, are down for the winter from Idaho and they brought their pony "Tadpole". This is no ordinary pony. He is almost 40 years old! Fallon LOVE LOVE LOVES Tadpole and wants to ride him everyday.He is the funniest looking thing I have ever seen, and just walks around like a dog! Fallon will stay on him for well over an hour and if you try to take her off of him she screams bloody murder! It is so funny! Thanks Challis for sharing Tadpole with Fally!

Sleeping Situation

Last week Fallon decided she wanted to sleep in Taytum's bed and there was no changing her mind! I didn't think it would last, but to my surprise she stayed in bed all night and never came looking for mom and dad! She has slept in there two more times and seems to love it! Guess it's time to get her a new big girl bed!It seems crazy to me to move her out of the crib already!

She got lots of great presents and had fun playing with the kids!It was super easy and thanks to everybody who came to celebrate our sweeties special day with us!

Dear Fallon, Today you are turning the big two years old! This past year seems to have flown by and you have outgrown being my little baby. You have turned into a kid overnight! Mommy and Daddy are so thankful that you were sent to be part of our family! You make us smile everyday, you have the sweetest disposition and are the most easy going girl ever! You absolutely adore your big sister and follow her everywhere she goes! You are a daddy's girl all the way, you love to wear your boots and be outside with him all the time-But when we ask you who's baby you are, you always say mommy's!You ask to call Josie first thing every morning, and speak your own little language to her! I think you two were very close in Heaven!You are more like sisters than cousins!Fallon we love you so very much and hope you have a fun day today!

Good Company

Since Ryan is gone hunting agian we left Friday and went to St. George to get steer feed and to spend the night with our favorite friends, the Hafens! They are more like family! The girls love to go to "Aunt Kim's" and play! Jade and Falen watched the little kids for us that night while Kim, Kyna, Shelby and I went to the movies! We saw "When in Rome", which I would recommend you don't waste your money on!
Saturday morning we hung out and got ready for the barrel race, then loaded up and went to Hurricane. The kids played on the playground and ate snacks all day! The rain hit late in the afternoon right before I ran! Max pulled his usual crap and didn't even look for the barrel but still ran a 17. He sis such a hard mouthed pain in the butt! Although his compadre' is pretty hard headed herself- makes for a bad combination! Someday we will get it together!
When we got home we were greeted by more rain and mud! After all this rain it is sure to be a pretty spring! Just wish it would come sooner rather than later!We had a great weekend- Thanks Hafen's!

She was so proud of herself for making her bed all alone! What a big girl she is getting to be! Let's she if she is this excited to make her bed when she is 15!
