LOTS GOING ON

 Lots and lots to report on, Kylie and Grady spent time with Ryan helping water cows or check them. They even helped him feed a few times. RANCH KIDS. Kylie is in love with horses. She is a little obsessed. She tried to talk us into saddling her horse daily. She is now part of the Columbia Basin Barrel Racing Club. She made her first appearance last Tuesday. She asked the next morning if can go back every day. You will find Grady in his pajama pants and cowboy boots, ready for the day.

 Aunt Katie's birthday party. YEAH!

 Jacquie, Heather, Sheila and I completed the 5K Hot Chocolate Race in downtown Seattle the first weekend of March. Such a fun weekend!

 We have a calf in our yard for over a month. My kids names it JINGLE. I feed it a bottle twice a day.It is now eating my flowers and causing a ruckus. Jingle can go bye bye any time.

 Ryan and I got away for a weekend in Leavenworth to celebrate my birthday. I enjoyed every second with Ryan.

 Kylie performed her Nursery Rhyme last month at preschool. She did a great job and even sang "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

 Playdate with friends in Ellensburg.

 We had a girls day in Moses Lake over spring break. We painted pottery, drinks from Dutch Brothers, lunch at McDonald's, and a pedicure. It was fun to share the day with these two. They truly are best friends and the giggles oh my the giggles.

 We had a wonderful branding week. Lots of family and friends. This is Ryan with Grady helping brand one. Love these two. We have turned out the cattle and now it has slowed down around here, finally.

I registered Kylie for kindergarten last Wednesday. She is signed up and ready to go. YEAH!

 We had a awesome day to fly kites and the kids loved it. Grady is a champ. He fly his ninja kite for over an hour. Anything to be outside.

 Kylie performed last night her Jazz routines. She was great! She dance with tap shoes to "Lion King" and danced her buns off to "Roar." Love these two little lions! Kylie received her award from Ms. Sam. She loved doing dance this year!

 We celebrated my moms birthday back in March. We had a great Sunday dinner with lots of family. Happy Birthday Grandma!

 This was a trip to Pomeroy to celebrate all the February and March birthdays on my moms side of the family. We enjoyed the lunch at the Pataha Mill, always delicious.

 Great-Grandma McKeirnan with Kylie and Grady.

 My little Easter bunny,

 We celebrated Easter in Ellensburg this year with my family. We made it through the 10 o'clock mass then a wonderful dinner with LOTS of family. It was a gorgeous day. The kids got to hunt eggs and filled up their baskets. Happy Easter!

Cowabunga Grady Turns 3

Grady had a few friends over to celebrate turning 3 on Friday. His buddies enjoyed the sunshine and the cake pops.

Then we had a family birthday Sunday night, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle style. He was so excited and could hard stand the wait of all day.

He likes to read the card, "Happy Birthday to ME!"  He was so excited about a few ninja gifts, he even kissed a couple.

He loves his cousins. They played and played. His smile melts my heart. He is a such a sweet boy and is so grateful. Love him. My baby boy turned 3 and told me "I big boy now." I had a hard time with that. He is potty trained and doesn't even want his blanket today. This is hard for this mama to take.

The girls had a great time as well. Cousin LOVE!
