Knock Knock . . . who's there?

Katie: "Knock Knock"
Mom: "Who's there?"
Katie: "Horse"
Mom: "Horse Who?"
Katie: "Horse stuck in the mud".

Katie: "Knock Knock"
Mom: "Who's there?"
Katie: "Sheep"
Mom: "Sheep Who?"
Katie: "Sheep stuck in the mud."

long delay . . . maybe even 10 minutes . . .

Katie: "Knock Knock"
Mom: "Who's there?"
Katie: "Horse"
Mom: "Horse Who?"
Katie: "Horse stuck with sheep"

he he he, One of Katie's favorite things right now is knock knock jokes. Most of them don't make a lot of sense (other than the interrupting cow joke) but she put a lot of thought into this one.

Katie also has been asking me all sorts of questions these days. It all started with a story I told her about when she was little. I used to take her for bike rides in the little trailer and we would stop and get the mail. When we got a magazine in the mail, she would pretend to read it in the back seat. My little old lady (I think she was two). She also sat on the little potty and read a magazine (not sure who she got this from, he he he). So now she gets the cutest little look on her face and says, "tell me more about when I was a baby." Too cute (I had to document the face.)

And then there's the neighbors. We just got new neighbors on the west of us. I am happy there is actually people living in the big empty house now. A lot of the houses up here just sit. BUT . . . now they are building a house on the East side :( I do love people, but it sure was fun to have all the wide open space. We went out and took pictures of the "hole" that they just started to dig yesterday (note the fabulous dirt we have up here! Can you say rocks and clay???) Katie wanted to be sure to have her picture taken with the dirt . . . what a girl.

Ok, let's try this again :)

Alright, I am going to try this again. Hopefully things will slow down and we can get everything back in order. Here's our "christmas letter" update, ha ha ha!

Cody is working in Payson building a Walgreens (yes that's a two and a half hour drive ONE WAY!) But he is almost done. When he's not at work he's either watching kids for me (so I can go take pictures) or he's working in the yard (YAY for a YARD!)

Ann is still BUSY with photography and trying to get the studio all fabulous. I just got my window signage yesterday (haven't seen it yet, but know it's there) The past month or so have been a little crazy health-wise so we are trying to slow things down and get healthy! (We also downloaded a 62 page e-book on how to "guarantee" having a baby boy, ha ha ha!) I have found it very relaxing to work in the yard.

Holly (Cowgirl) is growing up so fast! I can't believe she will be eleven in August. She is in 4H down in Hooper and is loving it. We got to go down there last week and it was fun to watch her learning. She also just received a FREE lagoon day pass for taking some brownies and flowers to a neighbor who lost TWO dogs (I would love to claim this was my idea, but I LOVE IT EVEN MORE THAT IT WAS HER IDEA!) So the neighbor girl bought her a Lagoon pass to thank her. I am so proud of her :)

Katie (Princess) is still a princess. She is taking antibiotics for an ear infection and hasn't complained once about her ear hurting?!?!? She got her kindergarten shots (even though she won't start for another year and a half) and keeps reminding me that she cried but she got band-aids. She turned four on April Foul's Day and loves her new princess bike (she rides it all over the house).

Abby (Baby) is HILARIOUS! She is such a mellow kid (attitude wise) but when it comes to just sitting back and chilling - there's not a mellow bone in her body. She does a little shoulder dance that is so cute (we MUST purchase a video camera for this). She has eight teeth and a new crib (due to a horrible "overflow" accident in her crib).

We love life and hope to remember (just like my mom says) THESE ARE THE GOOD TIMES! Summer - - - bring it on!
