Band Concert

Reagan had a band concert this weekend and let me tell you they sound a whole lot better at the end of the school year then they did at the beginning! LOL Although they only played 2 songs this time, I was bummed that they didn't play more. But she did good and we are so proud of her for sticking with it and learning it, don't know if she'll pick it up again next year I hope so.

Sfrona is beginning to talk a lot better on the phone, it seems like that's the only way to talk to daddy anymore LOL but her new thing this week is when she is saying good-bye to him she says the I Love you daddy and don't let the bed bugs bite!! Where she got that I have no idea, I don't ever remember saying that to her because I was always afraid she wouldn't get in the bed if there were bugs. She had to have seen it on TV or someone said it to her, it is so funny to hear her say that. Her other favorite thing to sing is a song from a commercial that has a puppy singing " No more bugs on me (repeat) some of you mugs may have bugs but there ain't no bugs on me" the ad is for fleas to get rid of them, I usually mute the commercials but she will tell me to turn that on mama!! LOL

What the Future Holds

Wow, it has been some time since I have last blogged! Sorry about that things have been going non stop since Darran went to school.
We had Reagan this weekend and boy did Sfrona love having her. I hardly ever see Sfrona when Reagan is here because she is always near her sister. It is really weird since Sfrona is always near me when Reagan isn't here and I find myself lost sometimes when they are together playing. It makes me realize that my baby is growing up way to fast and doesn't need to be near me all the time. I can't believe she is going to be 4 years old in June!! I am so thankful for the time I get to spend with both of the girls because I know to soon they will be starting their lives away from us, Reagan for instance this weekend we had a conversation about college and she told me that she wants to be a Pediatrician. I told her it was alot of schooling and she said she didn't care. This isn't the first time either that she told me she wanted to be a pediatrician. So I hope and pray she will keep on this path and look forward to what the future may hold. It would be great to have 2 doctor's in the family, cuz I just have a feeling Sfrona will want to be a Vet. Me and Reagan went through Sfrona's toy box today and I bet she has 50 horses in her toys, that's not counting all the other type of animals that she has, that would be to many to count! LOL So one baby doctor and one animal doctor, I bet we could live with that, of course no matter what they decide to do with their lives we will be behind them 100% all the way!!!

Bluebonnet Girls!

Sorry it's been awhile since I have blogged, with trying to get Darran to Georgia and everything he needed it's a miracle he got there at all! But he made it and is trying to settle in, he told me the guy who hands out the hotels was not there friday when Darran checked in and so they put Darran in a transitional room, which is a big room with cots and no place to lock your stuff up. Needless to say he was extemely MAD! So after he vented to me on the phone I reminded him of a soldier that he knew from Fort Hood who was already there for the school, I told him to call the guy and see if he could crash on his hotel floor, and he did. He will eventually get a room he was just mad at the time and not thinking. Such is life!

Here are our girls in the Bluebonnets. We didn't have as many as last year. The ones of Reagan are good and Sfrona just wanted to pick the flowers for mama, thank goodness it was in the middle of nowhere because she had a handful by the time we left.LOL

Giddy Up

Well our weekends are going so fast as Darran gets ready to go to Georgia, so we are trying to do it all in the short time we have. This weekend we went to my parents house because the girls wanted to ride the horse, so we did. Sfrona did great! She got up there and rode her like she has been doing it forever! We had to make her get off!! LOL Reagan on the other hand didn't enjoy it as much. She did good with the riding part it was the getting off part she didn't like and Darran was trying to explain to her how to do it and then Reagan started whining and the horse didn't care for the whining and she got a little spooked, Reagan started panicking and Darran had to pull her off the horse before she bolted, so it was not a good experience for Reagan, there is always next time.

So then we all decided to help Papa and Granny with the garden, of course Darran did most of the tilling and we all helped with the planting except Sfrona we had to make her get out of the garden because she was knocking all the rows over. We got finished and it was time to take Reagan back and we were saying all our good-byes and kisses and hugs and Granny told us thank you for helping in the garden, well Sfrona got to stay at Granny's because I had to take the car into the shop and you know how that is with a 3 year old, when Granny said thank you for helping with the garden I gave Sfrona a kiss and she said thank you for helping in the garden mama. We all cracked up laughing, it was so matter of fact! She is at that age where everything is repeated and held onto!!

New Hair Do

Reagan decided she wanted to cut her hair. We tried to talk her out of it but no budging, and she really did need a new style. I think it turned out great and everyone here just loved it, but some kids at school said it made her look like a boy and naturally it hurt Reagan's feelings. Well back to us trying to talk her out of the hair cut, she picked one out of the book they have and the one she picked has to be styled or it looks flat. Everyone knows how Reagan is about fixing her hair, but she begged and pleaded that she would fix it every morning for school! (yeah right) LOL, she is getting better at it it is just going to take some time for her to do it. But we love it and think it is so cute.

The picture od Darran in the tub is he was running water for Sfrona's bath and I was standing by the sink, well he threw water on me just playing around and I said I was gonna push him in the tub. He said "you can't do it" well he did hold himself up above the water but then I reached over and turned on the shower and you see the end result. He was mad and Sfrona who was sitting on the potty the whole time jumped up screaming saying "don't throw daddy in the tub" she hates any kind of altercations and even though we were playing she got so upset. LOL I think it was hilarious but Darran saw it diffrently!

Candy, Candy and more Candy!

What a wild week and a half! We had such fun with the girls this week since it was Spring Break. We went to Darran's parent's house in Friona and then came home and had a great last few days of the weekend. My cousin came to my parent's house for Easter and the kids just had a blast, they flew kites and chased goats and tried to ride the horse but that turned out a disater! The horse doesn't like a whole lot of people around and was to jumpy for anyone to ride so they had to resort to feeding her carrots! It is so much fun to see the family that you grew up with and having our kids do the same things we did as kids! Anyhow they had a blast hunting eggs and playing with thier Easter toys! Danny and Ann we loved having you up here come again soon!!!!

A Horse Of Course

My Aunt who recently moved here from Houston got a horse, it has been her life long dream to own a horse and since she lived in Houston it was a little difficult to own one. I couldn't tell you who was more excited Karla or Sfrona. Sfrona tells me every day let's go to Granny's and see the ALLI the horse. I tell you this kid is going to grow up and do some type of job with animals, she has no fear of them and it scares me to death! Mom and Dad have goats and naturally they had babies, well Sfrona will go right up to them and try to pick up the babies and of course they run away but when she bends down to pick them up the mama goat is right there at head level and I am so afraid they are going to head butt her and with thier horns but does she care? No! The turkey's are as big as her and she isn't a bit afraid of them either, Darran tells me "Don't make her afraid of the animals" but it is hard to watch and not get scared, I know it is good for her not to be afraid but it is going to give me a heart attack! LOL

Back to the horse, Darran picked up Sfrona and was letting her brush the horse and Sfrona says "My want to ride Daddy" and he was going to put her on when I told him no. The horse hasn't been ridden yet by any of us although she has been ridden, I just wanted to wait I guess until me or Darran has rode her, plus she was still kind of skiddish being in a new place and all that. So my kiddo is in hog Heaven with her new animals at Papa and Granny's house!
