Happenings

My blogging is getting behind, but hey…I’m a homeschooling mom who is very involved in my homeschool group, not to mention being a full time mommy and housewife….

Anyway…so here’s what we’ve been doing lately…

Clark County had a High School Rodeo last weekend. It sounded interesting, and since neither Trevor nor I have ever been to a Rodeo, we decided to go. We left Glorianna with my mom, and took the boys. The first 50 kids got free cowboy hats and we were in that group. They were just cheap hats, but the boys were happy to get them. The Rodeo itself was actually better than I was expecting. My favorite part was the bareback riding. (which is the same as riding a bucking bronco). My insides hurt just watching those cowboys get tossed around. But it was cool to actually see. We really wanted to stay for the Bull Riding but we would’ve had to stay till 11 and that was just getting too late. Anyway…besides the bronco riding, they had Pole Bending and Goat Tieing (for the cowgirls) and Steer Wrestling (for the cowboys). The goat tieing was hilarious, but I surely felt sorry for the goats. Non of the cowboys or the cowgirls were able to rope a steer in the Steer Roping, so that was disappointing…but hey…they were only highschoolers.

Enough about that…

I have found it rather amusing that my little girl is so girly…..example…..

She was sitting on the floor in the kitchen playing her toy piano the other day when all of a sudden she jumps up and starts crying and “dancing around”. I was like….”huh? ” THat’s when I noticed that an ant was crawling across the floor where she had been sitting….I had to laugh…I couldn’t help it…it was too funny. Our animal loving girl is scared of bugs….she’s such a girl. A few days before that a fly landed on her head and she cried like she was dying………LOL……

School is going good. Azariah is starting to read blends. He’s really enjoying that. Zion has turned into super reader. Trevor and I still find ourselves in shock when we are driving down the road and he’s reading signs or billboards. Or we go into a store and he’s reading ads. If Azariah catches on half as quickly I’ll have 2 super readers.

Well I guess thats it….OH…wait….

My sister in law is expecting again…(for those who hadn’t heard)…she’s about 6 1/2 months. She already has 2 girls and so we were all hoping this one was gonna be a boy. Well the first ultrasound she had the baby wouldn’t cooperate, so she was unable to find out what it was. So she just had her second ultrasound yesterday and guess what….? Its another girl. >sigh< My boys are very much gonna be out numbered. ah well….
