It's that time again!!!! Cameron runs a group twice a month for grandparents raising grandchildren. He started this program last year, and has since received funding from a few different doners so that the program will last a few more years. It is so exciting! He is so good at what he does! He started taking his group to a horse camp once a month where the kids and grandparents do horse therapy. This last week the kids and I decided to come a long for the ride since Syd has NEVER been on a horse. SO FUN! Syd has no fear! You ask her to kiss someone, or some animal, and she goes in for it! I hope this doesn't last through puberty! Dylan made friends quickly with two other boys (the sons of the owner). They were attached at the hip the entire evening. They had the greatest thickest southern accents, and they were all about mud and getting dirty. I love having Dylan getting down and dirty, that's what boys are supposed to do!You can't see it now, but that barrel is about to roll into a huge mud puddle, and Dylan was up to his knees in it. Ick! I was frustrated about the red clay that I would later have to scrub out of his pants, but I couldn't keep him from having so much fun!
They didn't have any helmets small enough, and she only was on it for a few minutes anyway. Isn't it cute how Dylan just squeezes and hugs her? I love it!
I am a SAHM who started this blog as a way to journal about our everyday lives. There are so many sweet moments that I don't ever want to forget, and so I write. Some may judge or hate me for being so honest, or for my parenting techniques, while others might learn a thing here or there. I am just me, open and honest, doing the best that I can. Motherhood is hard and it is a learning process. Hopefully my kids will look back and read this years from now and laugh at all that they put their parents through.
