As many of you know, it snowed!!! I think the Fairview area received about 8 inches. Ryan and the girls played outside all day. They made a snow cave out of one of the snow difts on our yard, they rode the 4 wheeler around until Rylee got stuck, and they had snow fights. I, on the other hand, took the day off. I watched 2 chick flicks and did absolutely nothing!! And rather enjoyed myself!! LOL!!
Ryan didn't take the camera outside with them, so I don't have any pics of the white stuff or the girls in it!! Sorry!! Anyway, it's Monday now and you wouldn't even know by looking that we had 8 inches of snow 2 days ago.

SPRING BREAK
Wow, only 10 weeks left of school after Spring Break?! Where did this year go?
So we aren't leaving town this week, due to I work 3 days out of the 5 and money!!! Don't worry I am not even going to start down that road...it would take you days to read that blog! LOL!!
Anyway today I am at work and my mother calls and says Rylee's fingernail is pulled up and off, except for the very back of it!! Yeah, first thought was, "GROSS!" Second thought was "Poor thing, here I am at work and she is having a melt down about this!" And third was, "What in the world can I do for her?"
So I left work, even though my boss was not here today. I left a note and took off. When I got to my mom's house, there Rylee is all red faced and desperate looking...yes, broke my heart!! I called a good friend that happens to be a nurse and she gave me advice on how to trim it and bandage it up. Needless to say, she didn't look quite as terrified when I left; but she was still crying. I called a few hours later to make sure the drama had gone away and she was outside enjoying the beautiful day!!
For those that didn't read it on my blog a couple of weeks ago; Rylee's finger was smashed by a scooter you sit on during PE at school. It has taken 2 weeks for it to finally fall off. I did some research today and it will probably take up to 6 months for her nail to grow back...That seems like a long time to me!!

Let's Go Fishing
We went fishing on the ranch on Rylee's Birthday. Just Ryan, Rylee, Abbey, and me. The girls each caught 2 blue gills and they found lots of bones....unfortunately they belonged to cows we had lost in the pond a couple of years ago. It was a fun after noon of singing, running, catching fish, and just enjoying family.
Our First Slumber Party!
Well my baby, Rylee, turned 8 on March 8. I gave in a let her invite 4 second grade girls to stay the night. We had her friends; Jazlyn Fortune, Avery Clark, Haley Boekman, and Briley Sims. We started at 6 in the evening. We made 2 pizzas and then I let them decorate their own cupcakes, let's just say we used A LOT of frosting. Then they had dance contests and baths. At 2 in the morning they decided to throw oreos and cheetos at each other. As you can imagine, the floor in my front room was a disaster!!! Finally a little after 2 the girls crashed, including Abbey!!!
It was fun and the girls had a blast. There were a few girly spats but nothing terrible. Ryan went to bed at 10:30 and I went a little after 2. The first to many sleepovers!!

Abbey's First Soccer Game
I can't remember what all I have written about our experience with soccer, so I will give just a little bit of background on Abbey.
She cries, at practice. We ask her why and she says there are too many people watching her. Well, I being the mean mom I am tell her that we started it and we are going to finish. We have gone to 2 practices where she and I sit on the side line, but she is there.
So when the first game came up, I am trying my hardest to make it sound like so much fun. Her Uncle Mike and Aunt Heather were going to be there, her Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Don are there and her Grandpa Kelly came. We get there and there are parents and family members lining both sides of the field....not a good start!! She starts with the tears, goes and sits with her team, and eventually gets put in to play. Needless to say, after a few minutes the tears dried up and she was out on the field smiling. Thank you Lord!!!
She actually ended up playing and having fun...I was so relieved!!!

Crazy weeks...
Wow, it has been a while since I last blogged. Life seems to be picking up around the Wahl house.
I encouraged both of my girls to get involved this year, become social. Little did I know that meant I would have to be more social, WHAT WAS I THINKING! LOL! Those of you who know me well, know this is hard on me to be the outgoing social bug! Any how, I did the whole Soccer World thing to get necessities. I did not realize I would need a loan to get them ready for a sport...HA HA! Anyway I took some pics of them and will have them on her later. They both look so cute with their soccer socks all the way to the knees. Rylee has truly taken a liken to it. She enjoys going, but I am sure it helps that 2 of her good friends on the team. Abbey liked the first 2 practices, but last practice they scrimage another Fairview team and she got "scared" from all the parents watching. Needless to say, Daddy will be going with Abbey to practice. Most of you moms know what I am talking about, I just held her and made her watch the game, Ryan would have "helped" her back on the field. So to make our week crazy, Abbey has practices on Monday and Thursday nights and Rylee has practices on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Then our games are on Saturdays from this Sat to April 18. WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! Ha Ha!
Ryan and I took a night away to OKC. We went and heard NO JUSTICE at the Wormy Dog in downtown. We saw quite a few people from the Fairview area. We took one of Ryan's co-workers, Jeremy Brinson, and Heather and Mike went with us. The band sounded great. We were on the fourth row from the front....I love that band...it was good!!
Sunday night, lastnight, our church voted on wether to go forward with the new MBY building. After the presentation and good questions and concerns, the vote passed! The building will be on it's way! It saddened me how many people showed up for the meeting concerning money; but when we have meetings concerning the well-being of our church and church family and how to get us from here to there, only a fourth of the people show up. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome to see that many come to vote for the MBY building! God has something big planned for MB Church.
I recently put my name in to be on the Fellowship Home Board. I am doing this for so many reasons I won't bore you with my list. I would like to ask for prayer that I will use this experience to help better the care of the residents and the workers. I also would like prayer that I find patience and understanding, as of right now I have many questions as to why a board would allow some things I have heard about. Please keep the Fellowship employees and residents in your prayers.
