So yet again I have another animal. This is Smartie. She was given to us by a friend. She's a Corgie/Heeler/Collie mutt. She's a wreck, but she's as sweet as they come, and is very nice to the boys.

Like It Wasn't Chaotic Enough Around Here

You can tell from the pictures that we have cats now... I'm not exactly sure how this happened. I was working on some horses, and the fellow who owned them asked if I wanted a kitten- I said that I'd been pondering the idea actually. Within about two minutes they had cats boxed up and packed into the truck before I could protest.
The boys are pretty happy about the kitties though. Ezra named them himself. The male, the white and grey, is Green- and the little female, white and grey with some orange, is Red.
The Red cat tried to kill my vacuum last night... I was cleaning up the litter that had been spilled on the floor, and the cats, which included vacuuming Green Cat. He was very calm and didn't mind at all. Red cat on the other hand was having no part of it. She went ballistic and attacked the vacuum. There was nothing about her that was afraid, just really ticked. Watch out for those little girls~ you never know....

Well, it seems like the time of year to have unexpected surgery. Yeah, once again I got to get cut on. I can't say this one was completely unexpected, just the timing. I saw a surgeon Monday, about my knee, just to see what was going on (it's been giving me fits lately). That was at nine a.m. Monday, and by 11:00 they'd scheduled my surgery for Wednesday. Kinda slap 'n go... So I got home last night from Douglas WY (the only safe place to let them touch a scalpel) around eleven thirty, and have been sleeping most of the day. The whole stairs and crutches thing is a spectacle..... I'm alright as long as I don't carry anything (i.e. hot coffee) while I'm going up or down.

Here are a few random pictures from the last few weeks. We went to the lake with Miss Cole (the daycare lady), and Ezra thought getting in the water with the big kids was a great idea... Another good day that wore them out...
And my new car. Its a car... A small car. I gotta say I'm getting used to it, and getting GREAT fuel mileage, so I'm not complaining.

So its been a very long time since I posted anything... These are a few pictures from this last Saturday. We went with some friends to dock and band lambs~ not a fun chore unless the company is good~ which it was! After finishing up with the sheep The boys got rides on the motorcycle, they have a new best friend! After we got home we had lunch and played in the sprinkler till bed time. Ezra passed out on the couch after getting out of the shower before I could even get back downstairs with his pjs... all in all a good day.

I'm going to be lazy and not actually label each picture. Hopefully most of you can figure out what the animals are with out me telling you though.... The cute blue eyed ones were my favorite...

Yellowstone

The boys and I took a little vacation with my family over the weekend. There are about four hundred (literally) pictures to go through, so be patient! There are more to come!

As you can see by the post below, its snowing. 50 mph winds, with 60 mph gusts. The flowers I planted are very very very very dead. Dang it.

Happy Spring in Wyoming... The first school closures of the year are in May!

I got out and played in the dirt and sunshine today! It is for once, not windy. We'll see how long it is until the boys bring me flowers....

They don't get much happier than this...

He might like me...

Wyatt is quite the little ham...

This is apparently a typical Easter in Wyoming, hunting eggs in the snow!

I'm having a little trouble with blogger, so I'm hoping that the pictures post...
Ezra is quite the little ladies man these days, which means he wants me to do his hair before school and likes to pose for pictures.

Finally. I'm Back On Line

It seems like forever since I last posted.... We've been getting settled into our new place quite nicely, and life is regaining some sort of routine. It's very busy, but good. The boys are still wild~ Trust me, it will be big news the day they aren't. Ezra is doing great in school, and is talking really well. The latest phrase that cracks me up is, "It's Ezra's turn to drive." Every time we get in the car.... And then I tell him to count till he's sixteen, so he does.
Wyatt is still my sweet Cracker. He's starting to talk quite a bit, Mommy, Ezra, Don't Touch!, Please, Thank You, and Done!!! are a few of his words. He jabbers away like he's giving a public speech most of the time though.
When I'm not quite as sleepy I promise I'll get pictures posted. It'll be soon. You can call and harass me if I don't.
