Just Me And The Animals

I was going to post this blog, on Monday, after we got home from our trip to Wyoming, but I've been too busy until now. Today it has been just me and our animals. Kelly left for Colorado on Tuesday and today the girls were at school and went straight to the Boys Basketball Region Competition in Cedar City to perform. So, I've had the whole day to myself. Now now, settle down ladies. Yes, it has been wonderful and I have gotten a lot of cleaning done. To keep me company I have kept the radio, tuned to country, on all day. Besides cleaning I have printed pictures for Kimi and Jade, made a poster for a Free Dog (we're giving our dog away), copied 33 CD albums on my computer, talked to my girls and husband (off and on) on the phone, sent emails, fed animals, said some prayers for safe travel for my family, threw some rocks at my dog to quiet him down (sorry animal lovers) and rejoiced for some quiet time here at Holt Ranch.

Enough of bragging about today, let me brag about my awesome trip to Wyoming to visit our daughter, Kimi and her family. Sami, her boys, Jade (Kimi's oldest) and I left Friday morning from my house to head for Wyoming. We had a very peaceful trip, the boys were angels the whole trip (not kidding). It was so awesome spending quality time with Sami and just to kick back and talk about whatever. We got to Kimi's house around 5ish. She has a cute house just outside of Pinedale (looooove that little Pindale town). What a joy it was to see Kimi, Mark, Kelly, Wyatt and Laynee. We celebrated Kelly's birthday Friday night, we played games, we shopped, and just enjoyed being with each other the whole weekend. We had a great time. Thanks Kimi and Mark for putting up with us.

O.K., the top paragraphs were written Wednesday night and then I was too tired to add pictures so now I'm continuing this morning. Here's some pictures of our fun time in Wyoming. Note that there isn't any pictures of moose because Kimi failed to show us any while we were there. If you would like to see one, go to her blog. I think she was holding out on us, hehe:)

Me and the boys playing cards, they kicked my butt.

We celebrated Kelly's 7th Birthday

Kimi and Sami with all the kids, of course we couldn't get them all to smile at the same time.

Me and the lively bunch.

We stopped at Chuckee Cheese on the way home. The boys had a great time.
