Growing Up

Jessie is growing up so fast, it seems like every time I talk to her she sounds older. Last night for the first time ever at our house, she spent the night in the guest bedroom! I'm sure having her very own TV to watch in there had nothing at all to do with it, LOL. I kept listening for her to come in and sleep in our room and had her regular little bed all ready for her, but she didn't need it. Sigh, I'm not sure I'm ready for her to be so grown up!

We noticed the water was running in the drainage that comes from the 20 foot falls so we thought we'd take a picnic lunch and ride up and see it. Forgetting about snow we took the scenic route and found a nice plowed road, until it ended here and the last 4 or 5 miles to go looked snowpacked! We decided not to try it and instead followed the plowed road in to see Red Cabin Ranch Estates. There were some nice lots, but it looks like most of the best ones are already sold. We ate our picnic lunch by a pond, sitting on the tail gate of the pickup. It was sunny, but cold and a bit breezy. Jessie had fun throwing rocks onto the frozen areas of the pond to see if they would break through. We wondered if the ice was thick enough to walk on where the rocks didn't break the ice, but didn't want to risk falling into the freezing water so didn't try it out.

Jessie and Cutie watching TV and checking email at the end of the day.
