After Emily's birthday Carrie had a little get together to get rid of all the left over food. She also had this activity for the kids where they dug around in rice that she had dyed blue for treasures, unfortunately the blue dye came off on the kids and the looked like smurfs!

Carrie, Joe and the girls came out to the ranch to hang out for a while. Here the older girls are playing while the rest of us were attempting to catch fish!
Julia just wouldn't give up. She stood there forever, letting me cast it and she would reel it in. She was so cute because she kept asking, "Dat fish Ma Ma?" I would have to tell her that it was just moss or sticks.

Natalie and Emily getting ready for their first sleep over! They did great, except I had to sit on the end of the bed to get them to quit talking so they would sleep! Silly girls. Seems like just yesterday I remember my mom doing the same thing!
Yea for donuts!!
Of course it rained the second day they came, we needed it, but geez, it could have been any other day!!!
Julia was so excited that Emily and Chloe brought out her Minnie Mouse Clubhouse and her cow!
Loaded up and ready to see some cows!

We caught something!!
The kids even touched it. It was the biggest fish I have caught to date!
