July 1st

Well we had a last minute change of plans (imagine that) and ended up coming to South Dakota instead of Denver.  It was pretty lucky we did it seems like there has been plenty to do.  John leaves every monring with Bryson and Chris at 4:30, I of course sleep in with Maggie!

i’m getting to the point where I don’t sleep as sound, I wake up and a lot of mornings can’t go back to sleep.  All of the boys just came in and had breakfast, pancakes and eggs.  The stinken burners in this house only work on one setting, high, and you usually have to have both of them on to get the other to work, yes you can imagine I swore a few times this morning!  I love things about South Dakota, I will not miss this little house, bless his soul John loves it, I do not.  The toilet it still broke after three years, if I wasn’t pregnant that wouldn’t be such an issue but when it tries to buck you off at three in the morning choice words come to mind and usually slip out.  Sharing a bathroom with boys, enough said, just envision, yuck, gross, can’t wait till I have my own clean toilet that doesn’t require toilet paper before you sit down:) 

Maggie sat in a cactus today, she was pretty sad and had little cactus needles all over her tiny little bottom, we stripped her down to her nothings and took her back to the coral.  We had been walking around taking pictures of cattle while the boys had a rodeo getting all the bulling cows in the coral.  We got them all out, little trooper she is such a funny little thing.  She brought me my boots today to inform me she was ready to go.  The other day John left her, I thought I could get her down for a nap, I stayed in the room while she trecked into the kitchen, she put on her boots and cried by the door for about five minutes so we loaded up and followed the boys up to breed cows:)  She loves to go.

John has been letting her “help” with dishes, she gets a full glass of water and dumps  it wherever it may land, most in the sink a ton on the floor and oodles all over her:) she has found she can climb the cupboard and drawer doors and actually get into the sink which is way funner than playing in the water from a chair:)
