Sunray Pool

Yesterday was a sad day. It might be the last time this summer we get to go to the Sunray pool. School starts this week (actually I had inservice last week) so we won't be geting to go. We went with Aubryn and Kambry. Aubryn is 6 mo. older than Crosby. They like to play together so it was cute. It is nice too because they don't fight!!! They both talk well so it is fun listening to them talk. They can say the funniest things. They had a ball on the "lellow slide" as Crosby calls it. It was really nice too because the new fancy Dumas pool opened so the Sunray pool was not busy at all. I can't believe summer is over. It went by so fast... it makes me very sad!!!

Working Cattle

Last Sunday after church we ate at Sammie & Wade's. Then we were off to ride a horse and work cattle. At first Cody and Sammie just took off to gather the cattle... Crosby just got to watch and then he had to be quiet in the pick-up so that he didn't scare the cows. This was the most difficult thing the whole day... being quiet. Then Crosby got to ride the horse. He loved it. Then he watched as they worked the cattle. He had a great time!!! As we were leaving we weren't even to the highway and he had fallen asleep. I had given him a sucker... as you can see in the picture he fell asleep with it in his mouth.

Brunch

Yesterday we had a brunch... the mom's got to visit and the kids played. It was nice to get to spend time with friends. This summer has just flown by and I haven't done a lot of the things I said I wanted to do. So.. last minute we had brunch. Crosby absolutely loved it. He is always asking... where's Charley... or every morning he says "I wanna see Betty and Tenedy (which is Becky and Kennedy... or he asks for Jacque... well yesterday he got to see them all at the same time. It was cute how excited he got. The other great part about yesterday is we actually got rain. Everyone else seems to get rain and we don't but yesterday we did. It was beautiful.

Summer Fun

It is the end of our summer and I actually post more... I figured I would be able to keep up this summer but I didn't. Cody and Troy have been playing a lot of tennis the last week. So... being Crosby who loves most all sports... he has been playing. It is pretty cute. He tries to hit the ball... sometimes he succeeds. He knows that the ball is supposed to come from across the net so he will tell you to get on the other side then he will throw the ball to you. The other night Cody and Crosby came in kind of late. Cody said Crosby just sat and watched 4 games. I was amazed Crosby would sit that long. He loves to play. Also, there is a picture of Jacque (our neighbor). She is older than Crosby but since he was born they have big buds. If we don't see Jacque and Amy for a couple days Crosby is asking me... I see Amy... I see Jacque. So, we go over and let the kids play while we visit. They only live a block away which is wonderful. Today Amy and Jacque rode their bikes over. After visiting for a bit we went on a bike ride. We went over a mile and Jacque peddled herself the whole time. So... of course the kids had to have a popsicle when we got home.

1st Sleepover

I know... it is crazy that Crosby is 2 and a half and has never stayed a night without his mom and dad. There are times Cody is on a trip or I am but he has always had his mom or dad. So, we decided that he needed to stay the night without us. We called our Randi and Sydni (and Tonya). Crosby loves them and they are great to him. Since Crosby has been born they have babysat him all but twice. They didn't babysit him then because they were out of town. When I picked Crosby up this morning he was telling me about how they fed the ducks and ate ice cream. It also rained so he played in the rain. That is what one of the pictures is of. The only time that he cried was when they told him he had to take a bath. All in all I think he had a wonderful time. He was still talking about it on the way home... especially the ice cream. I am sure Crosby is already ready to have a sleepover with them again. You are probably thinking... how did she take pictures if she was gone... I left my camera with them.

Harvest

I know harvest was about a month ago but I am not good at getting blogs done. One evening we had a girls night so Cody and Crosby were at home. They ended up going on the truck with Wade Harkey (Sammie's husband). I think Crosby had a great time. When I got home Crosby kept telling me he went on Wade's Biiig Truck. I think it is cute how he says big when he is talking about trucks. Then a couple days later Cody was helping Jay. Crosby and I went out to join Cody on the combine. Crosby loved it. He liked watching all the action with the wheat. He would watch it go into the header then stand up to watch the grain in the back. His dad even let him drive for a bit. All in all... he had a great time. It was cute how he would tell the grain cart driver hi when we were dumping... even though there was no way she could hear him. Now... we are ready for corn harvest to ride on the combine again. Every corn field we drive by he says "There's Jay's corn."

Exciting Weekend

This last weekend Cody and I were in a mini triathlon. I only trained for 10 days and Cody didn't at all. He ended up getting 6th and I got 8th. It only goes by men and women. Our brother-in-law puts it on and he did a great job. Also, a couple of our friends did it with us and there was one team from Texhoma. We went into it hoping we finished... but we did pretty good. It was fun because Kallie did it too and Becky, who is my exercising partner. Becky got 1st. We are excited to get to do it again... with more than 10 days of training. Then that evening was the big bbq in Gruver at the ranch. There were tons of people there and it is so nice to see people I only get to see once a year and others who I don't see very often. All in all we had a good but long day. Crosby was a trooper. He hung out with his Meems then played a lot at the ranch.
