an exciting day

Well our excitement kicked off when hurricane Christian ripped through our house leaving nothing standing in his path.

Then we had a 5.4 earthquake that shook us up pretty good. It was centered around the Chino Hills area. No damage here and we are all fine, just a bit shaken up.

Then it was off to my dad's to do some things at his house including feeding the horses.

I told Christian to stand next to this big boy and he actually did. Poor kid had no idea what his mom was asking him to do and he has no real fear of horses yet.

These are two of Christian's favorite animals on the ranch. He always wants to sit on that little donkey even though he hasn't since he was about one. He remembers I guess. And he loves to throw rocks into the poor pigs pool. This was all fun and games until the crazy goat that lives with the donkey tried to attack Christian. He then decided that we were done there!

Then it was time to push Chloe all over the ranch. This included through the hay stacks and into daddy's feeding cart.

Then he ended the day like every little boy wishes he could I'm sure. Covered in dirt and ice cream!


Who knows what adventures tomorrow will bring...

Sounds normal! You are definitely the mom of a little boy! He is so cute. I love the last pic and the "dirt and ice cream".

Jen C- Nope, it's actually a diff pig. Not mine at all. It belongs to a lady that does petting zoos for b-day and things. My Chops is still around though.

Jen F- Tell your hubby that it's buy one get one free for him. :)

I love the picture of Christian and the Ice cream. He looks so happy. You can't help but smile when you see it. His smile is contagious.
