Marlee's new friend, Oscar, the donkey!

This morning early we had some pictures taken out at Daddy's watermelon field.  Well, right beside his field is a pasture with some animals.  One of the animals there is a donkey named Oscar and he and Marlee made friends right away!  She had the best time in between picture taking loving on Oscar.  He loved her too and would walk the fence line following her as we walked through the field!  She is truly an animal whisperer!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Cullen!

Bear and Marlee celebrated Cullen's 3rd Birthday with him at Sweet Frog today while Karsyn and I were in Orlando!  Marlee said the party was "super yummy and fun"!  We love Cullen so much, Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Visiting Minnie Mouse and fun with friends!

Karsyn, Mammy, and I went to Orlando today.  I had signed up to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon last July and had planned to run it with Kari and Wendy.  Well, a foot that has nerve problems and hurts me after running a couple of miles and not much training time with two little girls who don't like being strapped in the stroller for longer than about 30 minutes helped me decide that it was  not in my best interest to run the half marathon this weekend.  I was not ready physically and it was not worth injuring myself over.  My sweet girls need me to be able to walk and care for them.  :)  But anyways, I went to the Expo this afternoon and picked up my goodies and Karsyn met Minnie Mouse who was there.  She loved her nose and kept trying to eat it! :)  We also met with Kari and Wendy at the Columbia for lunch.  We all had a fun day together!





Visiting the bunny at Glissons!

Marlee is still really wanting the little black bunny at Glisson's!  We made several trips by the feed store last week to visit this sweet bunny! :)


Cheering at Upward

Marlee had a fun morning cheering at Upward!  She had a big fan club there watching her and she did great!  Sissy was tired this morning at the game and enjoyed some shoulder time loving on Daddy and resting! :)

Watching the Cracker Trail Riders pass through Sebring

After school today, Ms. Kari and I took Marlee, Karsyn, and Jake down to 66 to watch the Cracker Trail riders pass through Sebring!  We also met up with Heidi, Margaret, Oren and Nolan and watched the cowboys/cowgirls ride their horses and pop their whips as they rode by us!  Marlee and Karsyn both loved seeing all the horses...Marlee kept asking the riders, "Can I ride your horse, please!"  A fun activity and very neat experience!  I think it would be fun to do this one day riding from coast to coast...maybe our horse loving Marlee will do it one day! :) 






Buggy Ridin'

Daddy got the girls a new battery for their buggy so now it goes super fast!  They both love riding it!


A chilly run!!!

A chilly run but all bundled up and ready to go with Ms. Kari and Jake!

Starting her young!

Marlee was so excited to do her chores this morning!  She put all the silverware away out of the dishwasher and folded her clean clothes out of the laundry!  Let's hope this enthusiasm continues when it comes to completing her chores each day!!! :)
