Well, yesterday was a very sad day. My little poodle, Gizmeaux that I got back in the 3rd grade died. I knew she wasn't doing good so I went to Mom and Dad's to see her and just hold her for awhile. She was so weak, almost 16 years old. (Deaf, blind and crazy. We lovingly referred to her as the Old Lady of the house.) My Mom held her as she passed. I was so glad she was with her when she went so she wouldn't be scared and alone. She gave us all a lot of joy and company. Sweet old dog! She will be missed!

Fossil Rim
Sunday my parents and I took the kids to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose. They had a blast. Briar hung out in the backseat with Nana just rolling around all over the place. Boady sat with Grandad and Mommy up front most of the time with the occasional trip to the backseat to see what sissy was up to. It was such a beautiful day!

ID
Well, someone decided to steal my debit card information and buy almost $400 in tires from a company in Louisiana. Thank goodness for the delivery man who got suspicious when he was to deliver the tires to a vacant address in Ft. Worth. He decided to call the manufacture and they called and informed me of the fraud. I think we have got everything all straightened out including filing a report with the police in hopes that they catch the morons! The bank said it sounds like someone that I gave my card to at a restaurant copied my card number and name, address and phone number and then returned the card to me. SOOOOOO..... be careful who you give your card to. Better yet, just use cash.

Getting started....
Ok, so I have never done a blog before. Please bare with my grammar errors by the way.
Well, to get things started Boady rode his first sheep on Saturday night! It was probably the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life, except the part where he fell off. He was so excited, his older cousin, Kasen was there and was riding too. Boady was a real cowboy, he got his protective vest on and his over sized baseball helmet (that probably did more harm than good, he has a bruise on his forehead). They let the sheep come through the chute...... and I about peed my pants! It was HUGE with big curly horns. Even the guys putting the kids on the muttons said "Whoa! This is a big one." And then they picked up my Boady and sat him on the sheep's back. Boady grabbed on like he had done this a million times. (Course I had tried to "be the sheep" a few times and let Boady ride on my back for practice.) They opened the gate and they took off! It started out great and then Boady started leaning to the right and the next thing you know, he's plowing the arena with his face guard. He just laid there and didn't move for a few seconds, seemed like forever to me. I ran out there picked him up, dusted him off. And let me tell you, he was NOT a happy camper. Grandad was the ONLY one he wanted. And he got him, and some bubble gum, hot tamales, and suckers (those are the things that he requested he get after he rode his sheep.) He wasn't upset for too long after he located his Grandad and snacks. He did say that he wasn't going to ride another sheep till he gets bigger. So we will try again next year and see if he's up for it. If not, we got some great pictures and some good movies that he will enjoy forever.
Briar isn't up to too much interesting stuff these days, just he usual motor mouth and investigating her first spring as a WALKER/RUNNER. Last year she was still just a little rolly polly, not too interested in much except eating and sleeping. She's all over the place now and LOVES dirt. She has even tried to eat some, don't think she will do that again.
Zach has just been working working working. The oilfield in this area is really slowing down. Please keep us in your prayers since we don't know how much longer he will actually have a job.
When he's not working he's on the lake catching bluecats. He caught a ton yesterday including two 30+ lbs. cats. So we will be having another fish fry this summer, be prepared!
I'm just getting back into riding again and taking care of my kiddos! And enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather!
