Horses Rule!

That pretty much sums up our long weekend along with a lot of eating at the Ribfest… our friends had connection and got us into the VIP section and we had all you could eat ribs and ice cream and drink! We left very full and very happy!

 
And as we walked out of the Ribfest we saw some police horses which started us on our horse weekend.
Saturday we took a drive up to the Wild Horse area and got to just look at all the horses thru the fence since we missed it being open by 30 minutes. But the girls still loved seeing all the horses!

The momma’s and babies were so cute!
Then Sunday morning we get a text from the neighbor saying they were going to take their little girl to go ride a pony up in Truckee and asked if we wanted to go. And since she has been begging to ride a horse for weeks we jumped on it!  
At first she didn’t want to put on the helmet but once she saw Madeline get on her pony she hurried and put hers on!  She loved every second of it! I got to just lead her around a on a trail and she just talked non stop about how much she loved her horse “Taffy.”  The smile on her face was the best.

And this was the sad face that we got when we took her off of the horse….

She kept telling me that she missed Taffy! It was so sad and cute! Then she refused to take off the helmet because she thought we were going to take her back! 
It was so worth the money to listen to her go on and on about how she loved her horse! She was in her heaven and I am so glad they invited us along!

5 months for Cutler!

This little boy is crazy busy! Moving all over the place and he loves getting his sisters things all ready! Ronnee isn’t a huge fan of him playing with her horses but we are working on that! If he sees something he wants he will find a way to get it. It moves around like an inch worm and reaches for things.  While we were camping he started pulling his knees underneath him. He is so ready to crawl!  

He is a happy little guy and smiles and talks to everyone. He likes to play with his sister. He thinks she is hilarious! He loves to be wherever she is so he can watch her and bother her! These 2 are going to be a lot of fun as they grow older!

Sleeping for Cutler is still fun. We can count on one hand how times he has actually only woken up  once to eat in the night. Most of the time it is 2 or 3 and we still have times where it is every 2 hours! Yes I am a tired Mama! He still wants to go to bed around 7:30pm and wakes up around 6:30am for the day. And goes to nap around 9am. The rest of his naps are non consistent or non existent. Wish we could get a good schedule for this boy that involved taking a nap when his sister does! 

The last few days he has been so grumpy so I hope that he is teething so there is an excuse for this nonsense!

We sure love this little boy even with the sleep issues! He keeps us all entertained and it is so fun watching him figure out things!

He is 14lbs 15oz and 26in tall! Getting so big way to fast!

Camping weekend for Tyler's Birthday!

Tyler turned 29 on Thursday and we hit the road to go camping! All he wanted for his birthday was to go camping and fishing. He is sure is easy to please!

We went camping on the June Lake loop up by Mammoth, California. It was so beautiful up there!  The weather was great and the company was even better. We went with the Adams family and the Fedewas!  We got to the campsite and of course right across the road from us were about 50 or more mules and horses! The kids were beyond happy! Made us mothers  a little nervous because we were afraid the kids would venture on their own to go see them.  Lucky for us they didn’t but they begged every second to go and see them. We wanted to take them for a ride but they didn’t allow kids under the age of 6 to ride. So sad! They were so disappointed because petting them just wasn’t enough for them!

The kids had a blast at night wearing the headlamps and chasing each other around!

Seth and Jeri brought their little canoe thing and the kids got to float around in it!

We went for a little hike one morning to try and get to the bottom of the waterfall but couldn’t get to it. But it was still a fun little hike for the kids!

The men rented a boat to go fishing in and took the kids for little rides. For as spunky and crazy and Ronnee is she is a little scaredy cat. She had fun but had to be grabbing Tyler and would whine if he let go!

Callie is so sweet and would hold Ronnee when Tyler couldn’t. It is no wonder why she loves her so much!

Overall camping was really fun even though they only caught 1 fish! Tyler was really mad about that but at least he was out fishing! I told Tyler that I dont want to go camping ever again because it is so not relaxing for the mom’s. We still had to cook and clean and chase the kids while the men were off fishing! I am used to having more help at home! Tyler is like a little kid in a candy store when he gets in the mountains. He forgets about his family and just goes into his own world. 

Oh and one time when Ty was gone the dogs broke their rope and luckily I was there to save them from the angry man walking bye. I am so glad our dogs are nice so they didn’t do anything but sniff them. But I am sure it was a little scary for the guy because they are big dogs! 

Glad we are home but I am glad we went. The kids and the men had a lot of fun and I guess that was the point of going! 

Sunday night when we got home Cutler and I went to bed before 7:30pm and I have spent the last 2 days doing laundry and I still have to go through the camping boxes. So glad I will not be going camping again anytime soon if ever! lol

Cereal for the little man!

I was talking to a friend about when to start baby food and so it got the idea in my head so I decided to start it right then! He hates it and makes a gagging noise. I figured he wouldn’t like the cereal because it taste like crap but he didn’t even like the fresh pumpkin or the pumpkin applesauce.  Every time I go to give him a bite he would flap his arms and then dry heave! lol  I gave him the spoon even and he would put it in his mouth and take it out and gag but then put it back in. Haha Funny boy. And of course when I was feeding Cutler Ronnee needed to try. She had one bite and was done!

The “please dont give me a bite” face!

I am trying to try it once a day and hope that he will eventually start liking it! I plan on trying Sweet potatoes next!
