Whirlwind of a Week Back

6/25/2011

I've been back a week now, and it has been a bit of chaos - good, but chaotic. We've had 8 people and 5 dogs in our house most of this week, since my sister and her kids finally made it in from Colorado! After they got to the airport on Monday their flight was delayed it got canceled because of thunderstorms.....sound familiar? But they are here now and it has been wonderful to have them. Everyone says it, but it never ceases to amaze me how quickly they grow up, and not just physically. They've been helping cook, clean, mop, clean stalls at the barn, and they bring so much cheer wherever they go. I've also gone to visit my cousin and his new wife from Alaska, 2 of my aunts and uncles, my grandparents, and a few friends. Somewhere in there we managed to get a bit of work done on the house. But some of the most fun was today:  I spent the day playing with the boys and pistols, rifles, and dirtbikes. I've ridden on a few motorcycles, but have never driven one.....and I can't wait to do it again!

You look like a natural on the bike. I sold mine after the second child was born. :)

You never cease to amaze me. I think I'm glad I saw the pics of you with the gun AFTER you raised my kids for a year!

It is indeed Mark's gun (and if you look at the dirtbike photos, at least one of them is Mark himself). There are bullets in the one where I'm shooting the camera man - though I promise the safety is on - but not in the side shot....not so smart. Definitely fun.
