We have been enoying some beautiful weather. The girls got out the sidewalk chalk, road their bikes and even played in the water some.
Samantha loves her Chocolate Chip Pancakes!
She also loves the cookie bar that has Chocolate Chips in. Say "CHEESE"!
I Love my GIRLS!

I really don't think I am one to complain about the weather. I do feel bad for those who have suffered with the harsh storms that have recently covered most of the nation. I love to see the snow fall, I love to see the rain and hear it too. I love seeing the trees bud and the spring flowers pop up. I love seeing the leaves change colors. I am impressed by how strong the wind can be at times. I love watching the clouds roll over the mountains and float through the sky. So many fascinating things with the weather.

I Love this MUTT! Even if he is a pain in the Keester! (I think he Loves me too).
If any of you know Rocky, you know he is a "Runner" as in when he gets out he runs and it is very hard to get him back. There have been two times now since we have moved to Carson that he has "escaped". The first time he jumped the fence over into the neighbors yard then got out of their yard. It just so happened to be right when school was getting out. (We live right across the street from the front doors of the school). This was a nightmare. I immediately called Jim then I PRAYED! And prayed the whole time. I watched as he went through all the kids/parents, between cars and right through the gate into the school yard. OH GREAT! The only thing I knew he would come for was the 4-wheeler, but there was no easy way to get to it at the moment. I followed Rocky across the field schoolyard, with him running from me every time I got close. As I went through the playground I grabbed some bark off the ground. I thought just maybe....I could trick him. After about 5 minutes of calling him, scolding him and begging him, he came to see what was in my hand....thinking it was a treat. The bark worked. I was able to get him.
Lastnight was the second time he has gotten out. I still have no clue how he did it. I had been with my Visiting Teacher for about 45 minutes. I just dropped her off and was headed back home. I was about 4 blocks from home when I noticed the cars up ahead were stopped in the round-about. I then saw a dog and my first thought was, "That's nice that those people stopped for the dog. I'm curious to see what kind of dog it is." As I drove closer I suddenly quit breathing. Oh Crap! It couldn't be! And Jim is out of town! What am I going to do! Yes, it was MY DARN DOG! I stopped the car immediately, got out and called him. I know I was being helped because that DARN DOG came right to me. I grabbed his collar, lifted him into the car and drove home. All I could think was that I was blessed to be able to catch him that easy. He knew he was free and he still came to me! What a GOOD BOY! I guess I will keep him another day.

Finally....
I started with a cold 2 weeks ago. It wasn't a horrible cold, but it really took alot out of me. The cold then turned into what I think was a sinus infection....which still took alot out of me. And all you MOM's know that when we are sick we can't stop doing our Mom jobs. So, after 2 weeks, I think I am starting to get over this. My throat still is tender at night before I go to bed which I think is wierd because it seems fine in the morning and during the day. I just am happy that I am feeling better than what I was last week!
