Saturday we got the opportunity to go and let Lane ride some horses. We had been planning on letting him for a while, every since he saw an episode of Agent Oso where he rode horses. Lane saw that show and has begged to get to ride one since. Donny just so happens to work with a man that owns a few horses and he invited us out. It was so nice. Of course all of the kids fell asleep on the way there so they were all a little out of it at first, lol. Lane got to ride the pony first and he thought that was pretty fun. Then he looked up and saw 2 big horses, Jackson and Tough and begged to ride them. So they saddled them up and let him ride them both too. He loved it. Now he thinks he is a real cowboy. He was telling my parents about it yesterday and saying YEEHAW! He rode them all around, Ms. Jessica was leading them for him of course but he had a blast. Lucas and Lexi enjoyed watching him ride and Mrs. Rhonda even sat them up on Jackson and let them play. Lexi loved it, she really likes animals. Lucas wasn't to sure about it but he ended up liking it too. After Lane rode all of the horses, (he had to spread the love out, LOL) he ran around playing with Mr. Steve and had a blast. When we got ready to leave he kept telling Donny and me bye bye and that he wanted to stay there, lol. It was a wonderful day full of family fun. I am so glad we got to experience it with our children. Times like these are priceless.
These are what I call my 3 bosses. They make up my schedule for the day and they are the ones I have to answer to if I do something wrong. They watch everything I do and that makes me try harder to be a good person. These are my children. I wanted children for as long as I can remember. I wanted them right when we got married, thankfully Donny had better sense. I feel like raising them is the most important job I will ever have. God has entrusted Donny and me with these 3 little lives and we want to do our very best to raise them. It is true many days I am pulling my hair out by the time my hubby gets home (good thing I have thick hair) but I wouldn't have it any other way. They are my life. I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with them. My husband works hard and we make sacrifices but it is all worth it in the end. Some days I do wish I could get out and work with other ppl. Then I see my baby girl take her first step (this happened today!) and it makes me glad I am home with them. I have seen all of my children's first steps. That is something you don't get back and I got it with all 3 :) I know it makes Donny sad that he misses so much but he is glad that I am here witnessing it all. It is worth it when I am teaching Lane something in our "school" time and I see that little light click and him get it. He gets so proud of himself. It is worth it when I turn on music and get to watch Lucas dancing, and let me tell ya that boy has rhythm! I really like watching Lexi hug her baby doll :) That makes me smile to think that she has learned that from me and my hugs to her. So I may look like a mess most of the time and my house could definitely be a lot cleaner, but I am here with my kids holding them, loving them and watching them learn new things every day! It is a blessing and I know it. So if one minute I am fussing bc I have to sit in this house all the time, just wait another minute bc then I will be saying how much fun the kids are and how much I love it!
