Scott has made the trip "over the hill".

I was wondering if 16 year old me would have thought 40 year old Scott was so handsome, and vice versa...  Can you imagine?  I know my answer at 16.  "EEEEWwwwwwww, he's so old!"  But thankfully we have aged together at a relatively slow rate, and are pretty impressed with how we have turned out so far.  We often remind the kids of how cool their parents are.  So hip and innovative. So in touch with the funky-fresh kid things going on. So young at heart and fashionable....  Seriously, we rock.
Anyway, kids had a relatively normal week.  They played in the pool with friends, enjoyed hours of school work and forced labor around the house.  They volunteered to help out at a horse show at their barn this past Sunday.  It was eye opening to see how much work those are.  I think they may be up for participating in one as soon as the weather cools down.  We had a busy day yesterday making preparations for Scotts birthday dinner.  We made and decorated his cake.  Made pizza from scratch...wrapped presents and embellished the house with balloons.  We are now looking ahead to this weekend and Fiona's birthday party on Saturday.

Now that I am old, I get to get an annual mammogram.  Yay! BUT, check out the waiting room (fully stocked with snacks and coffee)!

Felt like a spa.  I got a heated, plush robe!

Kids, pool, fun.

Some of the riders lined up for the show.

"Doc" always puts himself right in the middle of things.

Our homemade pizza dough.

Lot's of socks!

Thank you Heather for the "snake" socks.

Fiona was put in charge of opening and closing the gate, and Ethan presented riders with their ribbons.

Look how young these kids are!

Awwww.

Fiona's self portrait.  Lovely.
