EASTER BIRTHDAY FUN...Poor Sad Picturless Blog

So this Easter weekend was a ball! First my birthday was crazy. I had a math test bright and early thursday morning, and then it was back to Castle Dale asap so I could finishing camping preperations and help Dad with the ferrier and getting the horses shod. Then it was over to uncle Gary's where we vaccinated cows and moved them off his place. After that I had a great birthday lunch at Big Mama's where we ran into Grandma and Grandpa Peacock. Then we had to make it out to Fremont Junction in time to meet Dale's family so we could all head out to Circle Rocks for three funfilled camping days. The weather didn't always cooperate but we had tons of fun. We shot hand thrown trap, caught "Bizzards" (lizards) for Aden, rode horses, roasted peeps, and when the weather got bad, fled to the trailer for a game or two of "Hit the Deck!" Aden also got to hunt Easter Eggs in the rocks. We had tons of good food too. Even Laura and Eric made it out for part of the day on sunday. I even got to see Luke, Mary, and Tianna. And we had a super special dinner where every single one of the family members was there. Thats right- ALL of them, together, under the same roof, eating the same meal. It was a MIRACLE. The whole weekend was a blast, and for all that, did I remember to bring my camera-of course not. I suck at the picture taking thing. My poor blog is so sad and pictureless. But on the bright side, at least I'm still blogging, and trying to stay updated. :)

I got dumped!!!

No, I am not having marital troubles. Trusty old bruiser, reliable, sweet, gentle bruiser, dumped me on my behind on monday! Well actually it was my hip, and man does it hurt. We've apparently been giving them way too much grain because Rusty was being just as squirrely with Dad. Bruiser took off into the pasture when I untied him after saddling him up and was picking a fight with poor little Apache so I had to catch his butt. And then, when I got on, he took of running, which doesn't really bother me except that when he got to the downhill slope he started bucking like a crazy bronco. I still hadn't readjusted my stirrups from when my friend (who is like six feet tall) used my saddle so they were way too long, and I was a gonner. Needless to say, those stirrups aren't moving again! And Bruiser will be getting a REALLY good workout... once the feeling returns to my entire right side. :) Dale has been helping the theater out with their production of EndGame so he has been really busy, but we're both excited for this weekend! For those of you who are coming-we can't wait! For those of you who aren't, your still invited and we beg you to reconsider, it will be so fun! Just kidding, we understand, but wish you could be there.
