A fun day at the Ranch

This is my Grandaddy Greene's (GayGay's daddy) ranch near Lead Hill, AR...such a neat, beautiful place that Pop loves to visit every weekend. I remember going there all the time when I was younger--to go creeking, camping, or sometimes just to help Grandaddy out with the cows. Grandaddy passed away in the fall of 95 and we miss him but feel him all over that land--Daniel too, he loved going 4wheeling and fishing at the ranch.
Ensley has a great love for the ranch too, especially how big and open it is--she immediately took off running out into the openness and at one point just laid down with her arms stretched out, looked up to the sky, closed her eyes and sighed--- so sweet! Children are so quick to remind us of the little things in life that we as adults often take for granted (or are too busy to enjoy!).

She loves throwing rocks!


This is Pop's daddy, PawPaw. Pop takes him to the ranch every Saturday and although this isn't the land he farmed and herded cattle on (it's in Marble, AR), he loves being there and at 95 still finds a few projects in the barn that need to be tended to or fixed.

It looks like he will be out a few weeks, though b/c he fell the night before Easter and broke his hip. He is doing very well though and after surgery, went to a rehab facility where he is gearing up for many more trips to the ranch!!

This bell was my paternal great great great grandparents, I think? can't remember how many greats there were but I know it is a very very old dinner bell.


Pop put me to work!

MARCH!

Fun times in March!!! Quince turned 4!! I can't believe it!! he had a very fun party at Pump It up. I have decided we need to do our supper club there one night! i had a blast taking Ensley through the obstacle courses and bouncing in all the big inflatables! The slides were even a little scary to me!

Sarah Holt's baby shower!! We can't wait to meet Harper!!

Ensley and me goofing around with my new camera remote!

Ryan and I had a get away weekend to Florida! He was up for the "Integrator of the Year" award along with 3 other home automation stores. Although we didn't come home with the big award, it was still very exciting to have been recognized as one of the top 4 Techhome Integrators in the US! (everyone else up for the award was from California!) We are so proud of Dada!!

We also didn't realize there is a world outisde of Disney in Orlando!!! SOoooo fun! We went to Universal Studios and Worlds of Adventure--Ryan turned into a 12 year old and dragged me on every single roller coaster and I realized I am officially grown up b/c it was NOT FUN!! I think it took me a day to get my equillibruim (and stomach!) back!! We also went to a super fun water park, which (as an official grown up) I could handle and really enjoyed! But nothing could top the shopping down there--the outlet shopping--I had to buy another bag just to get everything home!! I've decidede to plan another trip before Christmas to do all my c-mas shopping! Can't wait to go back (minus the roller coaster rides!!)!
