Last couple of weeks

As usual, we've been pretty busy around here the last couple of weeks. Chad got the garden all ready for me to plant with the help of the cutest lil' cheerleaders, Cassidy and Morgan

We had our friends Kimberley, Ayran and Maddie over for an afternoon and after dinner we took the girls back over to the barn for a ride on Rocky. Maddie got to go first since Cassidy refused to wear her helmet...but as soon as she saw Maddie on "her" pony she was more than ready to put it on if it meant she got to ride.

As soon as she got on, she couldn't stop smiling!

Then we decided to ride double, and that was so much fun the girls didn't want to get off. We ended up leading Rocky back to our house where we had to convince Cassidy she would get to ride again but now it was time to go home.

A little R&R for the hard workers.....Cassidy set that all up by herself so she could "read" with Papa. Check out both crossed legs....

We did have a little mishap along the way...Cassidy got another black eye, but this one was by far the worst. She fell while helping Chad and Jerry on the porch. She's pretty tough and Grandma Margie called her Bruiser.

While Cassidy and I were over in Wenatchee helping Bryce move into his new place, Chad and Jerry kept working away on the porch and got the railing done and then started breaking ground for our walkways.

This weekend Chad and I got all the flagstone down for our 3 walkways. We're going to let the rain do some work for us to get the gravel and sand settled before putting down the bark. It already looks amazing and I can't believe how close we are to getting done!

I couldn't have a better work crew and I know there is so much good stuff to come!
