Kristen and me coming through the finish line. Our time was 29.04. I was shocked that I made it in under 30 minutes. I didn't think I would. Thanks for pushing me Kristen :) 
Eating donuts after the race. 
Showing our numbers. Me, Clint, Kent (Clint's dad), Kristen (Clint's sister), and Clint (Kristen's husband)...Oh how I despise after-running pictures!!! 
We went home and got cleaned up and then went back to the fairgrounds for the rodeo. 
We put Nobi in the dog race. 
Getting ready. 
Morgan watching the horses (yes, that is her buttcrack hanging out). 
Morgan and her cousin Carson riding the train. 
Jackson being goofy. 
That night, back at my inlaws, Morgan got to ride Chrome the horse. 
Her Rodeo Queen wave. 
Jackson sat up there with her for a minute. 
Morgan was a little unsure about him. He's GIGANTIC!!! But she had fun chasing him around.
The kids and cat staying out of the way.
"Look what my legs can do! They can hold me up!!!"
"And I'm down."
We got a kitty this week. His pregnant mother was found tied up in a garbage can. Soon after she was rescued she gave birth to 6 kittens. Can you imagine! Pregnant with 6 babies and tied up to a dumpster!! Where's the humanity? Anyway, we brought Sam home and he and Morgan have quickly become BFF's. Since bringing Sam home Morgan has not been asking for TV quite as often, much to my relief!! Her and Sam chase each other around for the better part of the day.
This was Morgan the whole time. Happy and smiling! She was so good we couldn't believe it
Poor Nobi tried so hard to get comfortable. He was mostly under the seat with his head sticking out. At one point he was right under my feet with all 4 legs in the air.
Nobi trying to catch some cool air from the vent
Seriously, Morgan was such an angel. She cried maybe twice and it was toward the end of our trip. We sure are blessed to have such a good baby
We got to Kristen's house at 3:30 in the morning. Poor Clint was exhausted from driving. Kristen has a little Chiwawa named Tika. Nobi loved her, though Tika was a little unsure of him.
Tika did love Morgan though. She loved having someone her own size to play with, and so did Morgan.
We got up around 8 and played some Guitar Hero for a bit. Then we went to lunch at a place called Rib Crib. It was the best BBQ I've had in a long time.
Kristen and her husband, Clint. Thanks guys for letting us stay with you. It was good to see you!
The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument in Nebraska. This was about half way between Kristen's and Utah, so we were excited.
This one was taken February 15th, 4 months old.
This one was taken today. Clint says he looks like the stupid hyena on the Lion King. He's 6 and a half months old now.
Okay, bare with me for a minute. I want to build up to this next part. While I was in Utah I told Clint that I actually MISSED Nobi (our 6 month old puppy). Which is really wierd cause I wasn't too fond of him when I left Alabama. Too much energy for a new mom. Always under my feet. Having accidents on the carpet, as if diapers aren't enough! So, in Utah I really did miss the little bugger, but Clint kept telling me I was going to HATE Nobi when I got home. I INSISTED that I wouldn't hate him anymore. And he said "okay, just remember how much you missed him when you get home". I didn't really think anything else of it after that conversation. Well, today I am making the bed. I bend down to pick up a pillow off the floor and this is what I see...
Oh, BAD BAD BAD dog!!! Okay, I love my husband (bless his heart...as they would say in the south). But I told him time and time again "you can't let the dog be out of his kennel when you aren't home". But my dear sweet husband just knew that Nobi was ready to take on the responsibility of roaming around all alone in our empty house. "Okay," I told him, "but keep our bedroom door closed cause you know he'll be up on our bed". He forgot one day. I'm sad :( But I'm trying to remember how much I missed Nobi while I was gone. I only have one question though...when was Clint going to TELL me about it?
