A New Week

This note was left for KC to find.

It melts my heart!

 

We've had to make a few tough

decisions about Kade here lately.

Things just were not working out

with him living here.  Not really sure

where things went wrong,

but clearly being here is not the right

choice for him anymore.

 

We tried everything we knew to do.

It's impossible to help someone that

won't put in any effort to help

themselves though.  So Kade moved

back to his moms this week.

Cody must have overheard

one of our conversations and

he wrote this note for KC.

He's pretty sweet.

 

We said goodbye to KC's four wheeler

this weekend.  We were soooo sad to

see it go.  KC actually made the choice

all on his own.  Decided he was getting too

old to zoom around on it any more

and it needed to go.  Plus with the RZR

we just don't ride it all that often.

I will miss it!  Because of that thing

we found our love for the mountains

and ridding!  Many good times

were had with that thing.

 

I mentioned to KC that I would like a

bookshelf for all the books I have

hiding in my closet...

and then boom!

 

He built me one!

I love it so much!

I can't wait to fill it with all

of my favorite books!

These two are the biggest nerds!

Snuggles!

More driving practice for

this kid.

Cody wanted to give it a go

too this time.

They both did pretty good

 

Week In Review

Tax time. Yuck!

Cody made me a key to

his heart to cheer me up.

He's so sweet!

 

My dogs are weird.

I cleaned up the Butterfly

studio.  It's so clean and looks

so good!  Makes working in

there all day a whole lot easier.

 

We just finished a big custom

order for a local restaurant.

We actually met them in

Red River at Oktoberfest.

They were so nice to work with.

 

Beautiful girl

 

 

I was brushing Copper the other day

and I noticed this heart on his neck.

Never seen it before, but there

it was.  He's not my most favorite

dog - but I love the heart!

 

Cody put in some hard

work to get his new basketball

goal up.

 

KC might have helped

a bit.

 

When me and Tab were little

writing our name and doing

our handprints in any cement

project dad was working on

was always our favorite.

 

So when we did the goal

poll we did Cody's and both

of the weenie girls.

They hated it.

Super Bowl Sunday!

 

Mom and dad made the most

delicious foodand we went

over to watch the game.

 

bingo and root beer floats!

The game was a bit

stressful for booter!

He was really cheering

for those Falcons.

Short Long Week

I spy a weenie nose

Rylee had set his mind to

solving Einstein's Riddle.

and by golly he did it!

It took him a few hours

but the boy was relentless!

So proud of him!!

 

KC is working in Perryton this

week on the aftermath from the

big ice storm.  Even over night.

I don't know how we were doing

this every week for years and years.

I miss him!  The boys miss him!

We've been having some problems

with Kade and of course this

is the week stuff really starts

hitting the fan.  He just needs

to come home and stay home!

 

I sat by my tree and watched

supercross and drank a Dr Pepper

to calm down and relax.

 

and I snuggled this girl.

or she snuggled me.

KC and Ry spend at least an

hour every Sunday alone

together.  Sometimes playing

chess.  Sometimes getting ice cream.

Sometimes practicing driving.

These two but heads so

much because they are exactly alike!

The alone time helps.

Red River and Skiing

Turning the curve and seeing the

small little town all lit up

is my favorite part!

 

We drove in a day early so

KC could drop me off in

Red River and then they

could go to Angel Fire for the

Boy Scout ski trip.

 

Still lots of snow!

We tried to play some Frisbee

Golf in the park.  The snow was

a little too deep.

 

I think we made it through 6 holes

and called it a game.

 

and then the boys wrestled in

the snow and had a snowball fight.

 

 

 

My new camper sign!

I love it so much!

We took the little dogs and Cops

stayed with mom and dad.

Mom sent me this pic of him.

When the boys left I did

whatever I wanted!

Meal planned and binged

on Game of Thrones.

 

and took the dogs on

lots of walks in the snow

 

It snowed almost all weekend

I loved it!

The dogs loved it too!

 

 

 

 

Especially Marley!

He scamped so hard.

 

When the boys ski weekend was

over we stayed an extra day in

Red River.  That meant missing

the Cowboys playoff game.

We face timed with dad and he

held his phone to the tv and

gave us a play by play.

Hey!  It worked!

 

Here's pics from the boys

ski trip.
