So death at our house is close to a daily occurence - Now nothing to terribly dramatic, when you have a herd of cows and a wife who loves to bring home puppies and other random animals its bound to happen. But our last loss was something that made everyone a little more upset than ususal. Zack has a friend who is a cowboy but has kids that are not. So we borrowed this cute little shetland pony from him because his kids didn't ride her anyways. So we get her home, love her and ride her for, oh about 2-3 weeks. She's kind of stubborn and set in her old ways and I had saddled her and taken the boys for a ride but then had to leave to go feed cows. I got lazy and left the saddle on her and told Zack when he got home she needed unsaddled. Well he went outside and she wouldn't let him catch her (she was just in a small round pen) but insisted on running. So as she was running and being ignorant she turned too fast on her leg and it snapped in half. Me and the boys were watching and it was a tiny bit tramatic. Zack had to go get a gun and shoot her. It was needless to say a very upsetting evening for all of us but it was my 3 year old who comforted me. Sometimes you forget what a grasp they have on the world around them. Later Tom kept on asking me where the pony was and I would tell him well she's in heaven with Grandpa tom, Jet and Tiny (when anything dies this is automatically the list we have to go through of who they are with in heaven). He would then get upset and say 'No, we haven't buried her yet, WHERE is she?!" so now as it goes we have to find him a new pony, heres to hoping we don't have a replay of the last one.
Gosh I have never updated on what my sweet little children are doing so here goes:
Tom is now 3 1/2 and into everything that his cousin Roan or Zack are into.
- He is an entertainer through and through. He loves attention and is always singing or dancing to get a laugh out of someone
- He always randomly tells me how much he loves me (especially when he is in trouble or made his little brother cry)
-He loves his little brother and for the most part play well together
- He refuses to count
There are so many fun things that kid does that I really should write them all down, there is never a dull moment with him and we are so blessed to have him in our lives
Little Levi is now 14 months old
- He tries to do everything Tom does
- Always climbing on something
- Constantly bugging the dog
- LOVE LOVE LOVES outside, he is always bringing me his shoes so he can go play
- has 8 teeth and is working on 2 more
- giggles when I clean his nose out with the bulb syringe
We love our little levi just as much and can't wait to watch them grow up
