SLUMBER PARTY

GUS HAD HIS FRIEND REECE OVER TO SPEND THE NIGHT THIS WEEK, SO THE KIDS ALL SLEPT IN TENTS IN THE THEIR ROOMS. WHEN I WENT TO WAKE SAGE UP THE NEXT MORNING, I COULD NOT FIND HER IN HER TENT. SHE HAD SCOOTED ALL THE WAY OUT OF IT DURING THE NIGHT AND WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

GYMNASTICS GIRLS

WE HAD OUR LAST GYMNASTICS LESSON THIS WEEK. SAGE'S CLASS NORMALLY HAS 4 GIRLS; THERE WERE ONLY 3 THIS WEEK, BUT THEY ARE SO SWEET AND FUN TO WATCH.

BIBLE SCHOOL

WE HAD BIBLE SCHOOL THIS WEEK. THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN AND LEARNED ALOT. I THINK THEY ARE WONDERFUL PERFORMERS!!

CONTINUING

MY BLOGGER QUIT YESTERDAY BEFORE I WAS DONE SO HERE IS THE OTHER PICTURE I WAS GOING TO POST. THIS IS SAGE AND HER FRIEND TATUM AT TEXAS DAYS. THEY WERE SO GOOD. THEY SAT ON THE GRASS FOR ALMOST TWO HOURS AND JUST PLAYED.


ON FRIDAY HOLLY, JENNA BETH AND JOSIE AND I VISITED WHILE HOLLY FIXED FLOWERS TO TAKE TO THE CEMETARY FOR GRANDPA WILSON'S GRAVE. WHEN SHE FINISHED WE ALL WENT OVER AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE KIDS FOR GRANDMA. HALLE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WOULD BE STILL FOR THE PICTURE. THANK GOODNESS WE HAD HER TIED IN OR SHE MAY HAVE BEEN RUNNING OFF TOO.

WE ARE DOING BIBLE SCHOOL THIS WEEK. THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN YESTERDAY. SAGE WENT TO THE PRESCHOOL CLASS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND NOT THE NURSERY. SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN.

SCHOOLS OUT!!

GUS IS OFFICIALLY DONE WITH PRE K!! GUS TOLD JANA HE WAS NOT DONE ON FRIDAY, BUT HE WOULD BE ON SATURDAY, BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE TO GET UP TO RIDE THE BUS ANY MORE. THAT IS THE PART HE IS MOST EXCITED ABOUT.

WE HAD TEXAS DAYS AT SCHOOL ON THURSDAY. ALL OF THE KIDS HAD A GOOD TIME. I HELPED TEACH THE KIDS HOW TO ROPE. AFTER REALLY TRYING WITH THE FIRST GROUP, I DECIDED TO FORGET TECHNIQUE AND JUST MAKE SURE THEY STARTED OUT WITH A BUILT LOOP. I ENJOYED ROPING THE DUMMY, GLAD TO KNOW I CAN STILL DO IT.

SPRING CONCERT SPOILED :(

WELL, I WAS PLANNING TO HAVE SOME NICE PICTURES FROM GUS'S SPRING CONCERT TO POST TODAY, BUT HE BECAME ILL AT THE LAST MINUTE. HE PLAYED TBALL LAST NIGHT AND THEN WE HEADED TO MORSE TO THE CONCERT, BUT HE STARTED FEELING BAD ON THE WAY. WE WENT IN BECAUSE HE SAID HE WANTED TO STAY AND SING, BUT AFTER SITTING IN THE PRE K ROOM FOR A MINUTE WE DECIDED WE BETTER GO HOME. WHEN WE GOT HOME HE HAD A FEVER, SO I GAVE HIM MOTRIN. OF COURSE AND HOUR LATER HE WAS READY TO PERFORM. ANNIE AND BUD DROVE IN FROM TEXHOMA JUST AS WE WERE LEAVING THE SCHOOL, SO THEY CAME TO THE HOUSE TO VISIT FOR A LITTLE BIT. SAGE HAD A GOOD TIME GIVING ANNIE A HARD TIME. SHE KEPT TELLING HER HER NAME WAS GRANNY, WHICH ANNIE DID NOT LIKE, WHICH MADE HER SAY IT EVEN MORE.
GUS STAYED HOME FROM SCHOOL TODAY, BUT I THINK HE IS FEELING BETTER ALREADY. HE WENT TO DRIVE THE TRACTOR WITH LANCE JUST A MINUTE AGO!
ONLY 5 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!!!

I HAVE TAUGHT SAGE RIGHT!!

JUST SOME CUTE SAGE STORIES. I DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW PICTURES TO POST OF HER TODAY.

**LAST WEEK WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO TO THE RODEO, I TOLD HER TO TAKE JANA IN HER ROOM TO PUT ON HER SHOES. I HEARD HER WALK IN THERE AND SAY, "THESE ARE MY NEW SHOES, I REALLY NEEDED THEM." SHE MUST HAVE HEARD ME SAY THAT TO HER FATHER AT SOME POINT!!

**PRATT CAME TO PLAY LAST WEEK, AND WE REALLY ENJOYED HIM. HE IS A LITTLE ROUGH FOR SAGE SOMETIMES, BUT INSTEAD OF LETTING HER WHINE I TELL HER TO HIT HIM BACK. THAT IDEA MAY HAVE BACKFIRED, BECAUSE ALL DAY HE WOULD GO UP AND PUSH OR HIT HER AND THEN TAKE A STEP BACK AND SAY "HIT HIM BACK." SHE ALWAYS DOES AND HE ALWAYS SMILES.

PEE-WEE TRACK MEET

GUS HAD A PEE WEE TRACK MEET LAST THURSDAY AT SCHOOL. I DON'T THINK HE REALLY HAS A COMPETITIVE SIDE YET, BECAUSE HE DID NOT RUN TO WIN. HE HAD A GOOD TIME RUNNING ALONG NEXT TO HIS FRIENDS, AND SMILING AT THEM!!

HE RAN THE 50 YD DASH AND DID THE LONG JUMP. THEY DID NOT GIVE OUT RIBBONS FOR THE PRE-K CLASS, EVERYONE WAS A WINNER. JANA ASKED GUS HOW HE DID AND HE SAID HE DID NOT GET TO THE TAPE FIRST, BUT HE DID NOT SEEM TO CARE AT ALL!

TEE-BALL

WE HAD OUR FIRST TEE-BALL GAME LAST TUESDAY (YES, I KNOW I AM A WEEK BEHIND.) GUS HAD SO MUCH FUN. IT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING TO WATCH BECAUSE THERE WERE ABOUT 3 KIDS OUT OF THE 2 TEAMS PLAYING THAT KNEW WHAT TO DO. GUS AND I HAD BEEN PRACTICING BATTING RIGHT HANDED, AND LANCE AND GUS HAD PRACTICED BATTING LEFT HANDED THE DAY BEFORE, SO HE DID NOT KNOW WHICH WAY TO BAT. HOPEFULLY BY OUR GAME ON THURSDAY WE WILL HAVE THAT FIGURED OUT.

SAGE ENJOYED THE TRIP TO TOWN TO SEE HER FRIENDS. TWO OF HER GYMNASTICS BUDDIES HAVE OLDER SIBLINGS ON GUS' TEAM SO SHE HAD FUN.

MUTTON BUSTER

GUS WAS ENTERED IN THE MUTTON BUSTIN AT THE PIONEER DAYS RODEO IN GUYMON TODAY. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT JOINING THE MUTTON BUSTIN CIRCUIT. HE DID SO GOOD!! HE WAS A 76, AND THAT WAS 2ND OR 3RD PLACE. HE ENJOYED IT DESPITE NOT FEELING WELL THIS MORNING. WE ARE SO PROUD.

NEW CUTE STORIES

I HAVE TWO CUTE NEW STORIES:

GUS--WE WENT WITH LANCE YESTERDAY EVENING TO CHECK MOTORS. HE HAS BEEN SO BUSY THAT WE HAVE TO GO WITH HIM TO WORK TO SEE HIM AT ALL. GUS DROVE ON LANCE'S LAP THE WHOLE TIME. IT TOOK QUITE A WHILE, AND ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH HE SAID,"THE WHEEL IS SHAKING MY HANDS AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY SHAVING CREAM!" I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANT, I GUESS THEY WERE GETTING NUMB FROM THE VIBRATION OF THE WHEEL. HE DID REALLY WELL DRIVING, AND HE DECIDED THAT HE WAS NOT EVEN GOING TO NEED DRIVING LESSONS TO GET HIS DRIVERS LICENSES. HE STILL HAS A LONG TIME UNTIL WE GET THERE THANK GOODNESS.

SAGE--WHILE WE WERE OUT WITH LANCE, WE DROVE BY ONE OF THE MANY OIL FIELD DRILLING SITES (THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!) SAGE SAW ONE AND SAID WOW A BIG SANDCASTLE! THEY PILE UP HUGE AMOUNTS OF DIRT OUT BESIDE THEM. THIS GIRL REALLY NEEDS TO GO TO THE BEACH IF THAT IS WHAT SHE THINKS A SANDCASTLE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SHE WILL PROBABLY BE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SAND CASTLE I CAN MAKE!!
