Baby Flamanca

 
 
 
 
Here she is so very cute! So far they think they will name her Flamanca after her mommy Flamanco. She is doing well today. She gave Sandy a scare this morning but the vet said she will be fine. She is a couple weeks premature so mommy and baby will be spending a few nights in a stall in the barn. Flamanco is a very nervous mommy so I wasn't able to get very good pictures, but you can bet that there will be more to come.

New Mommy!!!

This is what Flamanco looked like last weekend. Poor thing was so big and even her legs were swollen. Today we got that news that she is the proud mommy of a little girl that looks just like her. It's a big day at the ranch. Flamanco produced a Paint Andolusion. From what I hear the baby will be worth lots and lots of money. We're just proud of Flamanco. Everybody is doing well. Check back to see pictures of the new baby.

AIR PARK FLY IN !

 
 
 
 
On Saturday we spent the day at the Agua Dulce Airport flyin. It was cold but we had a lot of fun looking at all the different kinds of planes and watching them go crazy while they were flying. Some went super fast, some did stunts in the air, others were there just for fun. The kids big and small had a great time.

BEST CRAB APPLE FACE !

 
 
 
We attempted to go to the tamale festival but after waiting in line for an hour we discovered that they were only letting a few people at a time. I took a few pictures of the kids but Zach was having a day and would not smile for any of the pictures. So I had Zara show me her best crab apple face. I don't think she will be scaring anybody with that look. She better practice some. So we never made it in to the tamale festival, but we did spend a few hours at Mulligans playing games. Maybe next year they will move the festival to the fair grounds and we can try again.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOMS!

Somebody sent this poem to me and it is so true I thought I would share it with everybody as a Mothers Day wish.

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,the joy,the love,
the heartache,the wonderment or
the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,

Before I was a Mom

Good Luck D.C.!!

I found this site so I thought I would try it. The first pictures to come up were of Nic and Sophia. I hope this works.

BEFORE AND AFTER!

 
 
This is how Zara started the day at the Fiesta and this is her on the way home. Just thought I would share because it makes me laugh. Just wish I could have also captured the lumberjack snoring also. Use you imagination and it will make you giggle too.
