Mud Ranch’s Real Dirt

A tragic thing happened yesterday, Bubby is missing.  We drove to the Big City and ran some errands, he came with us along with Bear but somehow in the mix, Bubby must have fallen out when a door was opened.  Normally Annie doesn’t lose track of him or Bear so this must have been more on us adult’s part.  Poor Annie is a bit lost without him but I think I may have a solution working.  It won’t be the same ol’ Bubby, but hopefully it’ll do.  I’ll keep you posted — things like this are very important to be updating on.  If you don’t have kids, you’ll understand if and when you do.

Annie’s Nana (my mom) has Thursdays and Fridays off so we did Annie’s 2nd birthday party last night at Nana’s house!  All of Annie’s little friends from here in town were there plus her cousins and that makes it a total of 10 kids not counting Annie.  We supplied cake and ice cream and of course present opening. 

Nana made the cool banner out of Annie’s finger paints.

I made the cool cake… Okay, I bought it at Costco because I was running out of time.

Annie received some really fun presents including a little out fit hand made by her Aunt Megan which includes two shirts, one with horses, one with sage and pink flowers.  She also got a large tube of bubbles (very large), paints with stamps, play dough (!), a tool box, a John Deere cap, new PJ’s, and a really neat little Pooh tool box.  The biggest gifts were this little red tricycle from her Papa and Me-ma (Hubby’s parents,) and a tire swing made to look like a horse from Papa and Nana!  Out of all these really cool presents, the balloons really took the cake, and the Playdough with the tool box was right up there next to them — we’re really on a playdough kick.

Apparently she enjoyed herself.

Okay, really really enjoyed herself.

“Okay, enough of this, let’s get back to business.”

And being that we’re a John Deere family –

We had to get a picture of us in our caps.
