Mini Vacation

Travis is house sitting starting Friday for 10 days... and since I am off after tomorrow until next Thursday we thought it would be fun to take a little "vacation".  He is house sitting at a friends house that is in his dads neighborhood...so it is where we used to hang out all the time. We don't all go down there much anymore just because we are always so busy with life around our house. I am pretty excited to spend a few days on my old stomping grounds! My best friend lives close to there and I def. plan on hanging out with her :). So I will leave tomorrow after work and come home sometime Wednesday afternoon. Travis and Kelsey will stay down until the next weekend. I plan to spend a lot of time around a pool and just hanging out with my kiddos. I don't think I will have a lot or any time to blog but I will be back with a update on Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

I went and rode Lacey earlier this week and I am pretty certain she is going to be coming to the barn in a few weeks :) The owners are more than open to letting me keep her for a few months to make sure she is a good fit for me and what I want.... it makes me so happy/thankful that there are still such honest good people in this world. I think Travis can see how excited I am about all of this, he told me last night to start saving my money and he would try his best to match what I save so I can buy new things for her :) I am using my mother in laws old saddle, which is wonderful and works just fine, I just want to have my own one day! She will come with her leather halter-with her name ingraved on it and a winter blanket.

We have been going to the lake every night this past week to swim. I love it that my kids LOVE the water. Tonka is also such a water dog. Travis has  a little jon boat and Hayden is OBESSED with it so we took it out one night and he was smiling so big the whole time. Now when we talk about swimming he runs and gets his life jacket. Travis can't even walk outside without Hayden thinking they are going to "daddys boat"...cracks me up.

Since Kelsey has been spending so much time away it seems like she is so grown up :( She came home last night just acts older. I still can't believe she is starting kindergarten in a few weeks..AHHH. Where has the time gone??

I hope everyone has a safe holiday week/weekend! If you are traveling be extra careful and watch all those crazies out on the roads/lakes!
