I can't believe how bad I am at updating this blog! It's not that I have nothing to write, I'm just lazy. Well, I guess I will start by telling you that we lost our dog, Lucy, yesterday. She was hit on the road. It was a really crappy start to the week. I can't believe she is gone. Abby hasn't asked about her yet and I'm glad because I think I would break down and cry. She was such a good dog and we will miss her. We also woke up to a lot of snow on the ground today, so that hasn't helped my mood this week. Sorry to be so gloomy. I will write about happier things now.
It was nice and sunny last week so I did get a bit of yard work done. Okay, my dad did most of it but that's only because Jaiden wouldn't lay down and take a nap but as soon as she did, I helped him. We also got to have Abby's cousin Ellie stay with us for a few days. Ellie and Abby had a blast playing with each other although they did have their arguments but what can you expect from two head strong little girls!
Tyrel has been in a tractor planting potatoes for the past week so I haven't seen much of him lately. I have to laugh when other wives say they never see their husbands because they leave at 7:00 in the morning and don't get home until 8:00 or 8:30 at night. Tyrel leaves at 6:30 usually doesn't get home until 11:00 or later. He came home at 10:00 the other night and I didn't know what to do because I'm just used to being alone and doing whatever I want. Ya gotta love being a farmer's wife. I do take him lunch and dinner sometimes and yesterday Jaiden got to go for her first tractor ride! It's just the first of many, I'm sure. The picture below is Abby and Ellie riding in the tractor last week but there wasn't room for Jaiden and me so that is a picture of Jaiden chillin' in the old red pickup while we waited. I did take a picture of Jaiden when she went for her tractor ride but it was on my phone. I'm not quite sure how to upload it to the computer yet.
