Lost

I feel kind of lost and out of sorts because Rian Kenni and Graci are at Kims house for a week. They have only been gone one day, and I can't believe how much I miss them. There were times when I would think that it sure would be nice to have a day to myself to get everything cleaned and projects done. Now, I realize that I would much rather have them here and have things take me longer and have a cluttered house than a clean one. I just miss them. At the same time, I know they are having a great time and I guess it is good to miss them and hopefully they will miss me and we can all appreciate each other more. Sure made me know more than ever that I love to be their mom. On the bright side of them being gone, it is also fun to just be me, Brian and Shelby. Reminds me of the days when it was just the 3 of us when Rian was a baby. I think Shelby likes 100% attention from us. She has been so happy and laughing at everything it seems. Every Sunday I get feeling down and kind of sad thinking of Brian having to go back to work on Monday. I was feeling even more down tonight knowing my girls won't be here either. Then he suprised me by telling me he had taken tomorrow off! I love it when he does that. He was going to wait till morning but I was getting sad. So, tomorrow should be good. We want to get our stuff done around here, then go to lunch and we have the rodeo committee barbq tomorrrow night.
We had a great Kleinman family reunion at the Old Pinery this past weekend. I will post a few pictures I took. (I mostly did video). We had a great time seeing all my family that we don't see too often. Candice and I cooked the first night. We made navajo tacos and laughed and laughed because we had about 50 extra scones. It was pretty funny. We planned a little too well I suppose. We had such yummy food and it was just a really fun weekend for me. The girls went home with mom and dad and Kim and Carl and then in a couple weeks after the Torgersen reunion, Kims kids will come home with us and spend the week. We are doing a kid-swap.

My sweeties and Camille who they love so much.

Oh, my Sissy Lou and her dad. I sure miss that little tyke.

I forgot about our little friend. Before we left on our trip, Brian had to get hay from the stack over to the horses. He started moving bales and two little heads poked out and about scared him to death. They were raccoons! He had to kill one :( but caught the other and brought it home. They were just babies but still pretty vicious. Me and the girls hiked up above our house a bit on the mountain to let it loose. He sure was cute. Too bad they aren't as nice as they are cute. I got to pet his little hand though.
