The day after grandma's funeral we decided to take the kids swimming in Bicknell. The weather was nice when we got there but then it started to rain and the water was cold so we didn't stay very long but here are a few pics.

What a crazy and hard couple of weeks. My grandma passed away on the 18 of June. Me and my mom went to stay with her on the 13 cause she was sick so we went down for a couple days and stayed and we came home on Monday and she passed away that Thurs. I am so glad I got to spend a couple days with her. So we went back down on Fri and just came home on Sat so we were down there for 9 days. My b-day was on the 23 the day of her viewing so it wasn't mutch of a b-day. The funeral was so nice, the grandaughters done the tribute, me and my other 4 cousins, which that was hard, but she looked so peaceful. It is so hard to let her go cause me and grandma had this special bond between us that I will miss so much, but I will cherish the many memories that I have of her. She is so happy now that she is reunited with grandpa. It has only been 3 1/2 months that we burried grandpa so it is so hard to lose two grandparents in a 3 month period. We will miss you grandma and grandpa. We love you.. Till we meet again.

Well Baylee has got this big word down, the other day we were talking about doing something with the horses and Baylee spoke up and said well it's not my responsiblility
The other day I went to the store got home and got out of the car and dropped a 2 liter pop out on the ground and left it there, continued in the house got side tracked and a little while later Baylee comes bringing it in and said mom you left this out in the road and it's not my responsibility to pick it up. Gotta love your kids, the things they come up with, every morning we get up, the first thing she says to me is mom I had a dream and then she tells me about it and everyone of them is about horses. I love my kids what would I do without them...

The kids play T-ball every Monday and Wednesday nights. Billy is the coach, and it is so funny to watch them play, they do so good. We only have 3 more games left, we started the first of May. There are about 14 kids on the team. It has been so fun and the kids love it.
The kids are just loving playing outside and enjoying the weather, I can't get them to come in at night. They love jumping on the tramp and Howdy he kills me he says he was working cleaning the horse's stalls out and he leaned up against the fence and said mom boy I am so tired I have been working so hard so I thought that was a cute pic. I am so excited for warm weather for Rodeo's, swimming and camping.
We finally got the garden planted, the kids just couldn't wait to help grandpa plant the garden. We decided to plant pumpkins this year, and they were so excited they put the seeds in the ground and burried them, and then they helped plant the cucumbers and tomatoes these are Bay's favorite. So now they have chores that they have to water the garden and weed it so they think that is pretty cool.
