A week of Playdates

This past week has been a pretty regular one. Getting everything set for summer- here at the home. Getting used to Daniel's new work schedule and Cinch playing with lots of friends. We got the sprinklers up and running- luckily only a few breaks, Garden tilled and planted (well the part we are planting), Flowers planted and a few flower beds weeded.

Thursday found us in Logan that afternoon. We went to play with Carli for a few hours and met up with Daniel to go shoe horses. We tried to help as much as possible but Cinch was busy as ever chasing the owners chickens and other horse all over- So Cinch and I left early to come home.

Friday we were able to have Coulter come play while his mom painted their new house they are moving to. It was great for Cinch to have to share. The funny part was that Cinch wanted to be in the exersaucer every time Coulter was. Which is really funny because Cinch hasn't wanted to be stuck in it since he was 9 months old. Friday night Daniel & Cinch came to the pool with me to swim my laps- a fun date night. Cinch went wild as usual and loved splashing and swimming in the water.


Saturday we had a busy fun filled day. We started out the day at the "Runnin M" branding (my older brother's) It was great weather to get it done- I roped okay but needless to say I haven't had to much of a chance to practice with Cinch around.

After that- we got Hazel for the rest of the day. Her and Cinch came home and ate lunch and took a nice long nap while Daniel and I repaired some broken water lines. When Hazel woke up I stuck her in some of Cinch's clothes so she wouldn't ruin her clothes- I figured the first of many times she'll share Cinch's work clothes when she comes over :)!


After Playing and dinner we ran to Logan to see "Ms. Carli Nelson" at her dance review. The kiddos were excited to take her balloons and wish her well. It was great until Cinch saw the glitter around her eyes and went to get it accidentally poking her in the eye. It was very traumatic and she hadn't gotten any pictures yet so hopefully after we left she could calm down and smile for the camera. It was so cute to see how excited her older sisters were to see her all dressed up on stage with make-up and give her some flowers. What some great older sisters.

Well we rounded the mountain and took Hazel back home. It was fun to have a little girl for the day but totally not ready to have to get two kids ready and in and out of places. Today we have had a pretty lazy Sunday (except Daniel informed me he doesn't have lazy days). My brother Matt's family invited us out for some delicious Baxter Beef steaks. They were yummy! We spent the afternoon with their family and I took Chance's Graduation Pictures! I can't believe he and Jade (my oldest niece and nephew) graduate this year. They were my little play buddies. We would dress up together, roller blade and alot of other things they wouldn't want shared in their "teenage years." It's been a fun week. Cinch and I have gotten into a routine of a daily bike ride around 11:00 we ride around Elwood trying to get my miles on the bike in preparation for my Triathlon. Almost a month away!
