Living the dream...: July 2022

Happy, happy heart day to these two...N.I.N.E. years, unbelievable!

It's hard but you've stayed committed and you have a byproduct that is precious. It's never as easy as you think but worth it to stay the course. Keep on keeping on and enjoy the hard days as they are the memory makers.

Love you both!

Sensationally Six

Last week I think I failed to mention another milestone...she's now lost FOUR teeth. Licorice was the helper in this. It was already quite loose but a Twizzlers helped it make it's way all the way out! Tooth fairy found her at the Meadow (though she was a bit concerned on that front) and left $2.00. She was pretty excited!

Well, the fair has come and gone and ohmygosh we had sooooo much fun. The Northern girls loved it all. Next year could be her year to get to show something at her own fair in NE. Not sure those rules but I know she will be in it some way, some how.

These little girls had lots of fun...playing in gravel, eating ice, skittles, nachos, popscicles and pie or cheesecake depending on the day as well as cinnamon rolls, pancakes and drinking lots of lemonade.

This weekl I'm somewhere in the heart of Iowa or maybe Minnesota today. I'm off on another girl's trip and then next week it is off to Colorado with Bee. We are excited to take her in ROADA again and she is excited to go. She would have liked to go to the ocean but we are taking her to the mountains instead. We will have a few advance days with her as we slowly make our way out then mom and dad are coming in for a week in a mountainside condo.

Living the dream around here and loving it!

Sensationally Six

It's fair week...we are exhausted and it's only Wednesday but the girl is having a ball! She's been a great cheerer at the SuperTeen contests. She is a keen observer and notices so many things. And last night she showed a goat in the PeeWee Goat Show. She and Sqeekers made a great team...

She has also been a great helper as we did some sprucing up at the Grands. She helped out and so did her momma. We are officially on the market with a real estate agent. Another hard but necessary step.

So we truly are totally exhausted to be honest but we are having so much fun. She loves country life and the fair is definitely her jam. Lots of pork burgers, lemonade and nachos are getting in our bellies.
