We went to donkey basketball this weekend..........McCall was in his true drooling/teething form..........
Austyn keeps asking why he is spitting .........its pretty funny.
One of me and my love...........my how he melts my heart. Even when I am mad at him he still seems to make me smile :)
and the little mister love......
When Jerid took the kids for a drive Saturday morning he took them out by Sand Mountain........a place where people take their four wheelers and dirt bikes......I guess there was a big climb that he drove up to and Makenna was begging him to go up it. When he finally gave in and said ok Bee............lets go she said ok dad............I have two things to say first........
I love you
and......
sometimes I use your toothbrush.
When he told me the story I nearly died. Here she thought they were going to do something dangerous.......something that may end their lives :) and that was her parting words....
I love you and sometimes I use your toothbrush............
gosh I love her...
on that note......she wrote a poem for school this week about where she was from. I am so amazed and so in awe of her talent... she is amazing that girl....

from friendship chains and friends.
I'm from chaos and confusion and the promise.
I am from horses,
from riding horses to getting thrown off.
I am from hay from my head to my toes
and long rides with my dad.
I am from Kelly and Jerid,
and Steve and Debbie.
I am from basketball with grandpa (bapa),
and from helping him get olives.
I am from popcorn until my belly hurts.
from moms homemade pork-chops,
mashed potatoes and gravy.
I am from noodles of every shape and size.
I am from excursions to an
old ford, and a rusty Chevy
my mom learned to drive in.
I am from dirt roads and one stop
light towns.
I am from daffodils and sage brush,
and sunsets that never end.
from roses six generations deep,
and a land that knows my name.
I'm from lime green and hot pink
from blue and from brown.
from the colors of the rainbow.
I'm from liking to be the oldest to not,

I am from moving and becoming more...
from fresh paint and a new address and
belonging.
I'm from a new way, a new thinking, a new reality...
i am from change.
I am from freckles, and
dimples, and hair of blonde.
