A Great Big Bunch of May, Part Trois

Ok... It shouldn't take too long to finish May... I hope. So the next part of my story begins in Vernal with a filly that was two days old at the time of these pictures. These are my uncle's horses that live behind my grandparents' house.

Karli, Kaili, Kasey, and horsies :)

You will have to forgive me for taking pictures from so far away. The horses were very shy and protective of the new addition.

I learned that one must be very careful when traveling through fields of poop while wearing flip flops.

But Blackie didn't seem to mind that so much. In fact, she did roll in a really big pile of poop. Yuck. Sorry for the sideways pic- it was being mean, and I gave up...

There is an old shed close to my grandparents' house, and it looked like a cute photo area.

I thought I should try it too :) In my opinion, it's not as fun to post pictures about your life if you're not in them.

This is the other side of the shed, in case you wanted to know: old cars...yup.

Kirsa, I was thinking of you and our cousins getting rides from dad on this cart when I took the picture... good times :)

And here's a picture of a tractor. I believe Kirsa and I got our picture taken on this tractor with Grandpa while we spent one of our summer weeks out here. Some other very good times, which also make me think of the old dinosaur museum and push pops and colorful tongues while uncovering fossils.

I've always liked this log cabin thingy, I've just never spent that much time around it. and the turtle makes me think of digging in sawdust for prizes.

Here's couple pics of Karli. I'm sad that I don't get to see her very often. She's four and can write her name so well! I was glad that she recognized me and remembered my name. She was very excited to show off her new cowgirl boots, which I did not get a picture of... oh well.

Sometimes Blackie enjoys being held like a baby.

My grandparents' yard had a few blooming flowers. This was one of my favorites, the Iris!! I really loved the colors on this one, kind of like a sunset flower.

And the Lilacs!!!

As you can see, this blog post decided to finally be nice, so here are the last of the pictures. I've liked this type of flower for a long time, but I never knew its name. Now I do! This lovely flower is called a peony. My life feels more complete now. Seriously, this has bugged me for many years!

So Here is an adorable horsie tire swing. The little girls loved it, as you will see below:

The one and only, adorable Karli!

This was the best picture of Kasey that I got... kinda sad...

I just love this picture of Kaili! Occasionally, I have good timing and aim at the same time while taking a picture.

Kaili, Blackie, and Kasey under a crab apple tree

Oh my monkey... I love your smile!!

Ok... the last post I have for this month: On May 31, 2010, Darrell Gardner, my former p.e. and social dance teacher, passed away in a farming accident. He also was a huge part of Cleveland- the Miss Cleveland Pageant has been cancelled this year because of this loss. Today was quite a rotten day because of my grieving. I learned things about myself today through my many hours of reflection. I learned that one person that doesn't seem to be a big part of your daily life can have an enormous impact on your life. I have learned that life is so fragile, even for someone as strong and invincible as he was. Finally, I've also gained a stronger testimony of the Plan of Happiness. This happened for an important and unknown reason. To sort of quote someone that posted on the wall of the group in his memory on Facebook- May he enjoy running through the fields of heaven.
