My new hip

My hip is 5 weeks old today.  I still have good days and bad days... nights are still pretty rough... My left (operated) leg is still about 3/4" longer than my right.  I'm told this should even out as the inflammation goes down and the new hip joint can settle into the socket a bit better. We shall see!  I can't wait to feel normal again!

Sick Ava

Miss Ava hasn't been feeling well lately.... she is finding comfort in bed with her little Hissfittykitty!

Just look at this little cutie!

Miss Lucy is up to something but we can't spill the beans just yet!!!

Time with horses at a gaming show

 These two horses love each other!

 The weather was very cold so we tried to warm up in the sun whenever it decided to show it's lovely warmth!

 Ava used Chris' horse because Truman isn't too much of a gaming horse. ;-)

 We forgot a bucket for water so Chris just cut a gallon container open for the horses to drink out of.  Dakota thought this was very clever!

Happy Birthday to me!

Thanks for the strawberries Mom! They were delicious!

SNOW fun!

 Sledding at our house can result in spontaneous crashing and laughing!

 Cody was able to participate in the fun... or maybe he wasn't so thrilled?

 Play hard and fall asleep on the way home!

 Fun times "skating" on frozen water!

 We stopped by Diamond Lake... it was FROZEN!  We walked out on the lake and pretended not to be scared.  It was fun, kinda creepy, but what an adventure!
