WOW! I am behind!

Well let's see I am so far behind, where shall I start....

Abbey's class went to the McGolden's sheep farm for an Easter egg hunt and snack picnic. The kiddos had a blast! While I was helping other mothers hide the eggs, there was a snake that slithered by my feet, close to my hands and in a hole! Needless to say, I screamed like a little girl- I hate those things being that close to me!!

We had our last soccer games, Saturday the 25. Both my girls lost their games but they had a fun day. Rylee plans on taking soccer both seasons next year, she really took to the sport and had a lot of fun! Abbey, well we will see where here mood leads her when the time comes next year!

We had hail, tornado warning, and wind last Saturday night. The sirens went off in town, along with the electricity. After the hail left Ryan and I stood on our front lawn and watched all the "possible" tornados West and East of Fairview. We actually saw 2 for sure, that formed and came down and then went back up. It was amazing!!

Ryan and I went to a No Justice concert in OKC at the end of March. We went with my sister Heather and her husband Mike. I just added a couple of pics of us, since I hardly ever put any on here that aren't of my children. LOL! You know me, I hate to be in pics!

Other than that it has been rather quiet around our house. Ryan's job slowed down for 2 weeks, but they have gotten quite a bit of work booked for now. I have been filling in at Farm Bureau more often and that keeps me busy. Only about 4 more weeks of school left, I can not believe it!! It is already time to start making summer plans!

"NUTS"

Rylee had her 2nd grade play and the name of it was "Nuts". It was about the circle of life. Mrs. Kusch and all the 2nd graders did an outstanding job. Rylee was a rain drop and she just sparkled with enthusiasm!! It was been so much fun watching my daughter blosom right before my eyes this year . She has become a very confident and beautiful (inside and out) young lady this year.

She has really taken an interest in soccer; which has been fun to watch. She is breaking out of her shell and becoming "HER". We are very proud of her. Here are few pics of her at a soccer game and at the play.

Ryan was surprised!

Well, Ryan was totally surprised Friday night when we showed up to the Bowling Alley to eat with "Dallas and Misty Cooper" and found 20 other friends joining us....he was actually blushing and speechless. I loved it!! Mark another one up for me! LOL!

As for the text messages for his birthday, he ended up with about 60 to 70 texts. He said he may have known half of the people who sent them!! He thought that was a lot of fun. He is still smiling about it when someone asks what the total number recieved was. He had a wonderful birthday! Thank you to all my friends, and Ryan's, that joined in the festivities.

Ryan is 35!

Wow! It still amazes me that this is the 11th year I have celebrated a birthday with the love of my life...Okay, enough of the serious, now to the funny suff! So I thought I would be funny and send a text to everyone in my phone and asked everyone to send a Birthday Wish! About 30 minutes later, Ryan texted me and said thanks for the 20 something messages...I replied, only 20!! So then I did it! I went to the facebook page and encouraged everyone to send a text!!

I love that man!! Only someone with a good sense of humor would be taking it so well. He has no idea that about 25 of his friends are meeting us at the Bowling Alley for supper and bowling. I hope he has a wonderful day!!

He is the best daddy in the world!! (I know we can all say that about our hubbies, or I hope we can all say it! LOL!) I let the girls get finger paints yesterday and poster board and design their own Birthday "card/sign". Abbey's had a rainbow and clouds and said " Ryan, Happy Birthday. From Abbey" Rylee's had OU all over it, a picture of a bunny in the grass, and a Poem, "Roses are red, Violets are blue, I love you and I hope you do too!" They surprised him this morning with them. So proud and beaming from ear to ear. I love those girls of mine...they are such givers. We had also bought him a football. He wanted one, don't ask me why? Plus a couple of new t-shirts for work and a new dress shirt for Easter. I think he started his birthday off pretty well.

Any way if you read this today or tonight and want to send him a birthday message, please do, I know he likes it!! His number is 580-227-0465. Thanks for sharing his day with him.

Snow!

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.
