County Fair

On Tuesday we went to a county fair with Johanna and her two girls. They had free activities set aside for the kids. First the kids got to meet the county fair Queen and her Lady-In-Waiting as they signed up for the Kiddeo Rodeo. Then they got to make their stick horses for the rodeo.









This is Kylee with her horse. Super cute!!





Here is Riley doing her barrel race. I was going to get a video of it, but when they called her name she took off running and I could barely get my camera out and on before she was done.

But I did manage to get a video of Alexandra's barrel race.


The other events they could have done were calf roping (with a hula-hoop and a hay bale cow) or bull riding. We didn't stick around to see the bull riding so not really sure how they did that. The girls were done with watching once they got their turn. So we went through the exhibition building till Scarlett proceeded to yack all over herself.


Then we went to see the different animals they still had out. The girls got to see chickens (which I still can't believe they sell for $10...I can spend that on eggs in one month), ducks, turkeys, pigs, goats, alpacas and cows. They only got to see two horses though (the Queen's and the Lady-in-Waiting's) because all the other horses had already gone home. We then had lunch and went home. The girls had a great time and I'm so glad that Johanna and the girls came with us!!! It was great to see Kylee get so excited with the chickens!

    I love that horse idea! I'll have to do that - I have several yard sticks that my kids love to play with. Looks like you guys had fun! I love the fair!

Scarlett has arrived!!!!! She was born on Monday, June 1st at 5:06pm. Making her exactly 6 weeks early. She was 6lbs 6oz and 19 inches long. She is doing SOOOOO good!!! She continues to surprise everyone in the NICU. We're not sure how long she's going to be in there, but they are not ready to release me yet either so, we're both making the hospital our new home for a bit. Everyone seems really impressed with all that she's able to do. She is not on any machines and is doing great with her breathing and keeping her own temperature. She is VERY red though.....so living up to her name! Her red blood cell count was in the 60's when she was born, so we've been anticipating her needing to go under the billirubin lights, which they just started. Her number was still low (7.2), but we found out she is A+, and since I'm O+ there is an incompatibility, so they started her on the lights before she started to get worse. And now for the story.... Wednesday my bleeding s...

A Year of Horrible

I have debated writing/telling people about this because it's not completely my story, but then again, it is, because I'm living through it as the mom.  So as a friend and/or family member reading this, please remember that I'm entrusting you with sensitive thoughts.  And yes I know this is also on the internet, so anyone could read it as well.  But I also know that I needed a place to write all of this down and get it recorded.  It will help me as I sort though all we are going through and it could possibly help others. This last year has been horrific.  Really and truly there isn't another word for it.  I didn't realize how much trauma I have truly been through until yesterday when I was on Facebook and I was looking at posts from other moms of their kiddos starting middle school.  Now I know middle school is bad.  I went through it already with Riley, but Alexandra was a whole new playing field.  Seeing those pictures I had a literal awf...

My Irrational Fears

Now maybe this is normal, but since I'm not really sure what a "normal" pregnancy should be I have no idea. But lately I have worries about everything. Mostly it has to do with the baby being born healthy. When I told Dean about them the other night, he was like "Wow, I had no idea you had that much that you were worried about". So here's my list. #1 - Driving in the car. It scares me to death now. I really have no reason for it to scare me since I have never had a car accident. But every time I'm behind the wheel all I can think about is what if someone hits me. I'm wearing a seat belt and that could hurt the baby. If the airbag goes off, that could hurt the baby. Let alone if it's a really bad accident.... #2 - I can't open any of the stuff we've bought for the baby. And this is so unlike me, I love to open stuff and put it together. But this time all I can think of is I can't open it, what if something happens to the baby. We can...
