such a busy weekend!!!!!

(5/7) such is my life at times... I feel like I go along doing nothing all that special and then in one short week, "everything" happens... Today it was a pet visiting day at the adult center. We met bright and early and as always the pups were very happy to see each other. I think they like visiting with their buddies as much as they do with the people. 
Livy says hi to Attitus... this is his first trial visit and Livy's first "official" visit as a Pet Partner Therapy dog!!!
Joey, Otis and Attitus
Camille and Attitus
Some of the folks were heading out to their jobs, but the got to do a quick hello in the parking lot... Livy is happy to jump right in and wish them a great day.....
Joey is all about hugs.....
and kisses.......
Livy and friend....

It was a fun visit as they all are... the morning zips by and the puppies all head for home....

 (5/9)Then..it was dance!!! Abi was part of a dance company this past year, and of course, at the end of the year it's rehearsal time!!!
She was so happy and excited to see us sitting there waiting for her company to take the stage!!! and she looked so cute in her little costume...
These photos are so great, we didn't really have a good view.. but I caught some of her dance. She was very focused and did such a good job... 
They all did.... it's such a nice thing for kids to do and Abi seemed to enjoy it very much....
Course you must bring gifts for such a nice performance!!!!
 (5/10)And then.. we celebrated Mother's Day. We went to our usual and favorite brunch.. and since both sides of the family meet.. we get our own room
It's an excellent brunch with lots and lots of goodies..from breakfast, to lunch to dessert... Reagan was a big fan of the chocolate covered strawberries. 
They have a wishing well.... so you have to leave a penny or two...
My Mom and Dad joined us this year. Sadly Sadie was working and couldn't make lunch, but she came to the farm later in the day..... so I got to see both the grands and both my kids.... I feel very blessed.....
Abi and Sadie came to the farm and brought some friends. Little Kiera was quite interested in the horses, and it was such a pretty afternoon... we pulled Mocha out so the girls could play with her.
The weather is warming up and the ponies are shedding their coats big time.... they all look so ragged this time of year...
Mocha could have cared less as to what the girls were doing, having that first taste of green grass was her adventure....
Tonka took some time to have a good roll....


Twinkle and Duke....

I told Sadie once she began grooming, she couldn't stop until it was done... which is rather impossible right now!!!!
Everyone is looking for those first sprigs of green grass.. another few weeks and we'll open the pastures for them. 
Little Kiera was not one bit afraid of the horses, and wanted to go in and pat Duke. He's so gentle there are no worries here...
But, when asked if she wanted to ride.. she didn't think so.... 


spring is here... everything is waking up and it's so grand to be getting outside once again.... it was a long winter and I am already enjoying these  good days...
