HEE HONK

AS WE DROVE BY CLAY'S FEEDLOT TODAY, SAGE SAID, "MOM I SEE TWO HEE HONKS!" SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY WERE LIKE HORSES BUT DIFFERENT.......DONKEYS.

ONE LESS TOOTH

GUS HAS BEEN WORKING FOR DAYS TRYING TO GET HIS TOOTH TO COME OUT. HE EVEN WENT INTO HIS TOOL BOX LAST WEEK AND TRIED TO GET IT OUT WITH HIS TOY PLIERS.
THE TOOTH WAS SO LOOSE, THAT THE ONE COMING IN UNDER IT HAD SCOOTED IT OVER SO FAR, IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD ALREADY LOST ONE!

JUSTIN CAME OVER ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND PULLED IT OUT. GUS WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS, BUT DIDN'T EVEN FEEL WHEN IT CAME OUT. HE WAS SO EXCITED!! THE TOOTHFAIRY CAME THAT NIGHT AND LEFT A DOLLAR. HE GAVE A QUARTER FOR HIS OFFERING AT CHURCH YESTERDAY AND SAVED THE REST FOR A COKE AT SCHOOL TODAY!

SAGE IS NOW DYING FOR HERS TO COME OUT. SHE THINKS HE IS SO COOL!

SNOW!!

WE WAITED ALL WINTER FOR SNOW, AND IT FINALLY CAME THE LAST WEEK OF MARCH! FRIDAY, IT SNOWED AND THE WIND BLEW SO HARD ALL DAY. WE HAD NO SCHOOL AND NO ELECTRICITY! LANCE HOOKED UP THE GENERATOR SO WE SURVIVED. BY THE TIME THE KIDS WENT OUTSIDE ON SATURDAY THE SNOW WAS MELTING FAST. WE ENDED UP WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF INCHES ON THE GROUND, BUT WE HAD HUGE DRIFTS!! THEY WERE 5-6 FEET TALL! THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME PLAYING IN THE SNOW, UNTIL THEY BOTH LOST THEIR BOOTS. THANK GOODNES WE FOUND THEM.

GUS AND SAGE GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE

RUIDOSO HAS THE BEST GO CART TRACK. IT IS A MUST STOP EVERYTIME WE GO. I EVEN REMEMBER SPENDING ALOT OF TIME THERE WHEN WE WERE KIDS WITH GRANNY AND GRANDADDY. THEY HAVE A 3 AND UP TRACK THAT THE KIDS LOVE, BECAUSE THEY CAN DRIVE THIER OWN!! I HOPE IT IS NOT A GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE AFTER WATCHING THEM. GUS IS JUST LIKE HIS FATHER AND PAPA--HE IS REALLY INTO RAMMING PEOPLE AND FININSHING FIRST. SAGE PAID NO ATTENTION TO WERE SHE WAS DRIVING, JUST LOOKING AROUND CHECKING OUT THE SCENERY!! THE ATTENDANT WAS HELPING SAGE DRIVE THE FIRST TIME AROUND AND KEPT SPEEDING UP HER GO CART'S ENGINGE SO GUS COULD NOT PASS HER!! HE GOT SO MAD.


THE NEXT TRACK HAS SOME DOUBLE CARS AND THEY GO A LITTLE FASTER. AS YOU CAN SEE LANCE AND PAPA WERE READY TO RACE EACH OTHER, FORGET ABOUT THE KIDS!! LANCE GOT REPRIMANDED FOR BUMPING ON THE KIDDIE TRACK!!

LANCE, DAD, AND I THEN WENT OVER TO THE PROTRACK. WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE 16 TO DRIVE. THEY GO VERY FAST. OF COURSE I WON AND MADE DAD AND LANCE SO MAD. THEY SAY I ONLY WON BECAUSE I GOT A FASTER CAR AND WEIGH LESS. THEY WILL NEVER ADMIT THAT I AM A BETTER DRIVER ;)

NEW PICTURES!!

WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY THE PAST WEEK. I HAVE WORKED 3 DAYS, WENT TO RUIDOSO FOR 3 DAYS, AND WE TOOK THE KIDS PICTURES!! I WILL POST PICS FROM RUIDOSO SOON, BUT CHECK OUT THE PICTURES THAT JAMIE MCCLOY TOOK OF THE KIDS LAST WEEK www.xanga.com/jnmphotos. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING THEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO CHOOSE WHICH ONES TO GET!! SEND SUGGESTIONS!

NEW TUTU

YAYA SENT US TO BUY A TUTU TODAY THAT SHE HAD SEEN IN AMARILLO LAST WEEK. IT WAS SO HARD FOR SAGE TO PICK BETWEEN ALL OF THEM THEY WERE SO CUTE! SHE HAS BEEN DANCING ALL AROUND SINCE WE GOT HOME. (SHE JUST PULLED IT ON OVER HER CLOTHES SO SHE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE AN ORPAHN IN THE PIX.) SHE HELD HER ARMS OPEN ALL THE WAY AND SAID "I LOVE MY NANA (JANA) AND MY TUTU THIS MUCH!

CINDERELLA/DORA GAILLARD

THE PRINCESS (SAGE) DECIDED LAST WEEKEND TO CHANGE HER NAME TO CINDERELLA.

THIS WEEK SHE HAS CHANGED IT TO DORA.

STAY TUNED FOR WHAT TO CALL HER NEXT!!

BASKETBALL AND MATH

GUS HAS BEEN LEARNING ALOT ABOUT ADDITION IN THE PAST MONTH. HE CAN DO ALOT IN HIS HEAD ALREADY. HE HAS ALSO BEEN PLAYING ALOT OF BASKETBALL. HE ALWAYS HAS A SCORE AT THE END OF EVERY GAME. WHERE THEY COME FROM, I DON'T KNOW. TODAY WIL MCCLOY STOPPED BY A PLAYED WITH HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. GUS HAD A GREAT TIME AND LAUGHED THE ENTIRE TIME. WHEN LANCE GOT HOME HE SAID, "HEY DAD, DID YOU SEE ME AND WILL PLAYING BASKETBALL? HE BEAT ME BY 1 POINT. THE SCORE WAS 14-8, NO I MEAN 10-8!" I HOPE THEY LEARN ABOUT SUBTRACTION NEXT!!

MEET SPANKY!!

SPANKY IS THE NEW PONY FROM PAPA AND YAYA. GUS AND SAGE ARE REALLY ENJOYING HIM AND HAVE EVEN KEPT UP WITH THE FEEDING!! GUS IS FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS HIM TO DO. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS OF NICE WEATHER; WE HAVE GOT TO RIDE HIM QUITE ALOT ALREADY.
