Back in March my friend Tationa invited our family out to their farm and see all the new spring babies! We also got one of her three horses out so the kids could ride. Well, I got a turn too! And then I said something like, "I could get used to this!" and Tationa said, "I could use the help working the horses"... and so my riding began!
I get to ride once a week (I could do more but I can't spare the time - I wish though!) and this is "Star". She is 6 years old and is as wide as a bus! She is very gentle and extremely patient with me as I learn... sometimes she pretends she doesn't know what I mean.... but I've been riding for 2 months now and she actually comes to greet me! I am enjoying building a raport with her and learning how to ride a horse!
Well, I am not trying to make excuses for not blogging for almost 2 months(!) - but I can't always get on the computer anymore!
One of our favorite activities is baking/cooking. Cam & Car are really helpful in the kitchen... as you can see, Cameron is helping himself! We made little butterscotch birds nests with eggs - jelly beans.
I love this shot of Cam's hand around my face. He sits on my lap and holds my face in his hands a lot! He is very sweet and "hands-on". On a daily basis Cameron asks me, "Mom, what can you do for me?" and "Mom, what can you get for me" and "Can I have a surprise?" 
Carolyn was able to get more jelly beans on the cookies than in her belly! At Christmas time I bought all 3 of us matching aprons and we wear them on all our cooking endeavors!
A friend of mine got a group together at the park the other day and she brought her camera too! I love this shot of Cameron in the swing... and then I noticed me and Carolyn - she looks so cute between my legs! Thanks Sarah for the neat shot!
We've been building forts around here lately (using the card table) and we've gotten more elaborate with the "tubes" (which serve as the entrance to our 'igloo'). As you can see, Annie enjoys it just as much as the kids!
Sunday night was a Primary Inservice meeting from 7-8pm. Afterwards we had a chocolate fountain for refreshments... I stayed until 9pm! (Gonna have to join a gym for sure now!) Ok, so really I was talking with friends more than eating.When I got home, Cameron was still up (took a 2 hour nap during the afternoon) and he was so happy to have strawberries!!! (He asks a lot to go to the Farmer's Market to get strawberries - they are his favorite!) Brett and Cam finished the little plate of goodies that I brought home and now Cam asks me once in a while if I have to go to a primary meeting again! "Remember, you brought me a surprise from your meeting? Can you go to a primary meeting again so I can have a surprise?"
