Fun In The Mud

Well, We're back! I have not posted in so long, but we are finally getting back to normal in our house. Kyle has been gone again, and we've all been fighting an icky cold that we can't seem to shake. Natalie is on some cough medicine, which really helps her sleep at night. Hopefully we're turning the corner this week.

The Cowboy Carnival is also over and was a success, despite more rain here than I've ever seen since I moved here! It made me feel like we were back in Portland. Out pastures and ditches were flooding, and the grass is still so wet it feels like a sponge when you walk on it, even though it hasn't rained since yesterday morning. It's hard to complain about it when we're in a drought, I just would have preferred a different weekend! Anyway, it was sunny outside today after we went to story hour at the library, so Natalie and I were planting herbs outside. She wanted to swim, but it wasn't quite warm enough yet for our cold water. Before I knew it she decided she wanted to take a mud bath in our ditches where there are still puddles and several inches of mud! I tried to make her get out once, but then I said forget it. She was having too much fun.

She'll get me for this one later...

Hope you all have had a good last few weeks and are getting some nice weather. We have a chance of showers the rest of the week, the it's supposed to warm up for good. Kyle should be home sometime this week. We're here for a few weeks, then headed to see Karrie and Madison in Nebraska. At the end of June we head to Portland! Smiles and hugs to all.
