Even Claire got in the action.......

Meet Shorty........

He is so sweet and gentle. He really needs lots of love and food !!!!!! The kids just fell in love with him :)
It is so pretty out there right now......love all the green and snowy mtns in the distance. He is eating lots of grass and special food too, so he'll fatten up soon.
Me and Shorty.....you can see why his name is Shorty. He is a Paso Fino ....a short breed of horse, but very strong.

Claire riding. We'll take a saddle out...today was just bareback for fun. Love this picture of Annie. I swear, I am waiting for her to talk. She has the most fun personality. We were eating Sun Chips and she wanted a bite too. John gave her one and she loved them.

A little bit of spring......

My favorite little tree.....our tulip tree. It blooms for about 1 month of the year, so it is such a treat when it's flowering :)

Planted a couple of strawberries. I am sure it is too early......just sounded so yummy.

Ready for "LOVE" Day !!!!!!!!

My teacher gifts......for the kids teachers and the teacher I work for :)
Candles for the aides and a couple of girlfriends :)
My 35 first graders.....suckers and kisses :)

Happy Valentine's Day !!!!!!!!
