So we had the pleasure of having Dylan's parents visit us from Oklahoma for a few days a couple weeks ago. Riley was so excited...she doesn't get to see them as often as we'd like. They, as usual, spoiled and showered her with presents. We had a bunch of fun things planned, but the 40 degree weather with 50 mph winds for 3 days straight didn't permit us to do much except sit and visit and drive around our small town. It was fun and good to see them though. We are planning a trip after the 4th of July for Riley to go to Oklahoma with her dad and spend a week at her grandparents house. That will be so fun for her and she'll have a lot more fun things to do with them there!!!






So Riley finally got to ride a horse!! She has been talking about wanting to ride one for months. Well, her little preschool/daycare had one brought to the school for "cowboy week". First, I was told that it was a little tiny pony, so that's what I geared her up for...WRONG...full-grown, adult male horse. Second, I thought it would be something that she would just talk about, but then when it came time to actually do it, she wouldn't do it...wrong again. She just ran up to the horse and the teacher just threw her on there. She didn't want anybody touching her or holding her legs or anything. It was very exciting for her...made her mama proud to see her do that all by herself after watching more than half the "big kids" either cry or only ride on him with an adult.

I"m assuming only in Idaho do they have "cowboy week". Sounds fun.

Your not going to Oklahoma in July are you? You do realize that you will go into labor while Dylan is gone. That's just our luck.

Hey Dree...hate to admit this is the first time I've been on your blog and I love it - it's GREAT! Didn't get to tell you and Riley goodbye (didn't want to wake you), but we had the absolute best time in Idaho. Thanks for having us. In all our spare time, we shop for Guitar Hero (yay). Practice up - looks like it's the girls against the guys at Christmas. Take care...Love you guys!
