A little excitement!

Last week October 17, 20013 started out somewhat normal for us.. Thursday rolled around and we were headed up to Tejas Rodeo for a little dinner and ride time for Wade and I and play time for the kiddos. After i finished riding we were heading to arena to tie and up and then eat dinner at the steakhouse. Wade walked ahead of me with both kids upon the horses, Whitt on Cinco, Dylan on Shooter. In just a moment something spooked Shooter and Dylan went face first on the the hard caliche road. Wade scooped her up and that's when the worry/freak  out set in . Dylan's actions were something you never want to see from your child.. she was holding her head and neck to the side wouldn't make eye contact and was moaning in pain not the screaming cry you want to hear. Immediately Wade yells at nearby folks to call 911. The next moments were awful I just held her and prayed and prayed and prayed. The EMS arrived and recommended we take her in and of course we agreed. We rushed her to North Central. Dad met us there thank God and we got settled in and waited for a Cat Scan... after 5 long hours she was checked from head to toe and we received the most wonderful blessing of no major damage to our sweet spunky little girl. I made several promises to God that evening that I intend to keep; Although I know the kids will fall off again it will not be off Shooter nor without a helmet :)

Summer 2013
Feeling a little nostalgic lately. I find myself sad that my kids are growing up.. silly I know but I look at Whitt with his cap on backwards and Dylan with her little arms crossed in a fit and cant help but wonder where my little babies went!
Our lives are super busy and I have come to accept that thats the way it is! The house in coming along.. rock work and stucco this week.. roof on next week. We are looking to be in by the end of the year!
Wade is back working with Schlumberger and loving every minute. We see him more and we all love that!! Daddy is around.. hallelujuah!!
All because of this amazing and caring man I married I am able to get back into what I love which is riding and running barrels when I get the chance. Wade has. hands down. made this happen, and for that I will forever be grateful.
Whitt is almost 5 and still my super sweet full of energy little boy.. loves his daddys tools, roping with his daddy, playing with us, and he really, really loves his little sister.  We are excited to get him into sports where we know he will excel due to his insane athletic ability. He loves to run and jump and climb. Just this month he mastered the monkey bars all by himself and can pump himself on the swing with no help from us :( see what I mean!!! Growing. Up.
Dylan at just over 2, is my little mini me. I just cant look at her with out smiling. She is usually looking up to her bubba in admiration ready to copy whatever he does or says without fail. She is one amazing little parrot. She is stubborn, hardheaded, strong and incredibly smart. She is a great momma to her babies, rocks them and sings "Jesus" (Jesus loves me) just as we do every night.
I am so in love with these people in my life and thank God for them every. single. night. I am living my dream and and so happy that I am simply trying to soak up and enjoy every single second. Until next time.
