Me again

Can't seem to get a handle on writing in this dang thing. Even though no one reads it I hope to have stuff in here for the kids to read about later in life. turns out the van did need a new transmisson. Well we had ours rebuilt. Ended up without the van for 2 months which most of the time the kids were home for snow/ice days. Would loved to have had it to take them to the gym just to get them out of the house. I was able to get a new camera as well. I got a nikon d3100. It is a really nice camera. Still getting used to it. Way different than my olympus. Took pictures of Brooke a few weeks ago and then this past week I did a session with Jessie and Sarah and 2 with Kam. have lots of pictures to edit. Down to 4 ct's with my scrapping and it is enough for me. lol Keeping me busy but loving it. Nyarah (jessie's horse) is about to pop any day now. Been going out to the barn every 2 hours during the night for the past week and a half. Not real sure I will go tonight as she is doing nothing different than any of the other nights. I ended up trading Velvet for a big QH gelding. Thought everything was awesome till the next day when I tried to get him to run. He bucks when you do that. Come to find out he is really only green broke when I was told he was broke. They never even had him go faster than a trot ever. So needless to say I am trying to work that out of him. slow going since the rain wont stop long enough for us to have but a day or two of dry pasture. I am just afraid he is going to slip and break a leg. We will get there sooner or later. The rain has not been kind to us in the past 2 days. The barn is totally flooded and is a sloppy soupy mud hole. The foaling stall we had Nyarah in has water standing in it so we had to move her to a smaller stall but at least she in a dry one. With my luck she will have that baby in all this mess. I am dying to see what color this baby is. Daddy was solid black and Nyarah is a black and white paint. I am praying for big spots. lol Haley brought a duck home from school today for the night. Man am I glad it is only 1 night. lol. Sarah wrote a book in school and they published it. the whole class did. I get to go pick up my book tomorrow and she will be doing a book signing and channel 36 will be there to video the kids. so she gets to be on tv next monday. Guess who is taping the news? lol Then I think I will find the link to the dang thing and post it on my facebook page for family not around here to get to see her. Little monkey turns 8 in 9 days. I am so not looking forward to this. I miss my baby. Her speach is getting so much better. Next year will be her last year in speach. We are talking about holding her back in the 2nd grade because of her reading. She is behind and I am afraid if we let her go on she will just get further and further behind and that is just frustrating to the child. We have a few weeks to decide what we want to do. On the bright side this child excels in math. Well as long as she doesn't have to read anything to get to the problem.
