Today was a nice day so once again we made it to our secret spot and had lunch. After lunch Denny, Penny, Den, and Olivia decided to make a bridge across the creek. The first picture is Olivia walking acrossed and no she didn't fall in, although Penny did on the way back acrossed. I would have gotten a picture of her falling in but I had my camera turned off waiting to go across myself, but this is an aftermath picture. The next picture is of Den, but I'm not sure what he was doing. All of the sudden he just stood like that waiting for me to take a picture.

This was Olivia's favorite part. As most of you saw over Easter weekend Olivia has pretend horses called Lemon Drop and a new one called Clementine. She says that she is the best horse rider this side of the Mississippi. Well on Saturday she saw some new things for her horses to do. They are trick riders, so now not only is she the best rider she is the best trick rider as well. She has her horses running backwards and sideways.

This picture is of the only girl riding the bulls, she is 16 years old. She stayed on for about 2 seconds. The rest of the riders did pretty good only 5 or 6 made it to the championship round, and in that round nobody made the 8 seconds. The next picture is of a bull with the biggest horns there, luckily enough the cowboy and the bull fighters didn't get hit with them. There were only 2 cowboys that got hurt, one got hit in the face by the bull and the other one hurt his ribs I think, because when he left the arnea he was holding them. It was a real good time, I really enjoyed myself. If I had the chance to go again I would go in a heart beat.

On Saturday we went to Bull Ride Mania. To start things off they had the Mutten Busters, it is where kids ride sheep for 6 seconds. None of them got hurt, mostly just ate a little dirt on the fall. We tried talking Olivia and Will into doing that some day, they both said NO!!!!!!!!

We started our weekend with Olivia at tee-ball practice on Friday. If you have never seen a tee-ball game it is quite comical, most of them are just learning how to play ball and have a little trouble hitting the ball and throwing it to the right person. One picture is of Will, he isn't on the team but, they let him take up space in the outfield. He didn't stay out there very long, the ball never came to him, so he left and came to sit with Denny and I. Our neighbor Rob Smith is the coach. So far Olivia is the only girl, there is supposed to be another girl but she hasn't shown up yet. Most of the kids that are playing are going to be in kindergarten together, so this is a good way for Olivia to meet some of her classmates before school starts.

Will is trying to cut some firewood at Denny's mom's house. He still has all of his fingers and toes surprisingly enough. He did a pretty good job though, he didn't cut much the wood wouldn't stay upright, but he gave it a good try. I have pictures of other people cutting wood as well, but I don't think she would appreciate that very much.

Olivia is becoming quite the horsewomen. She is riding her pony Fury, she has been waiting for warm weather for this too. She helped brush him and get him cleaned up so he wouldn't look cruddy for the pictures. One of these days she will be able to ride with out being led around, Olivia is counting down those days. A couple of years ago Brenda and Paul got the kids their own saddle, the next time she rides maybe we will get it out, then she will look like a professional rider.

On Sunday was Pappy's birthday and we decided to go on a little ride on the fourwheelers and have a cook out in the woods. We found a nice place out of the sun, I think the best part was the kids playing in the creek. Olivia and Will climbed up on a big rock, and thought that they looked like frogs, Olivia even did a little ribbit. It was a real nice time, it was relaxing and fun, Liv wants to have another cook out there someday.

Tomorrow it April Miller's birthday. Today her sister had a surprise party for her at the school. We missed the surprise part, but was there for gifts and some food. It was a good time visiting with friends.

Just another thought tomorrow is also Den birthday, I would have had a picture of him on here but surprisingly enough I don't have one, hopefully Penny put one on.

So if you happen to see either one wish each of them a happy birthday!!!!!

Olivia has been waiting for good weather to ride her fourwheeler. She rode it most of the afternoon and until it was to dark to for her to ride. Will wants to ride it too, but he had to wait until Denny came home from work. He makes me too nervous to watch. The batteries in my camera were going dead other wise I would have pictures of him riding it as well. z
