Where is the horse?


My parents are awesome. My dad is a moron who is impossible to be around without cracking up. And my mom has the biggest servants heart I have ever seen. Maybe THAT is why all three of us turned out perfect. :)
My mom is known for a lot of things..my favorite is the "Where is the Horse" song. Some of you are giggling right now because you've heard it. She wrote a song for Brent probably 30 years ago..and then when Drew was born he got a verse added for him. Five years later I was born and got the next verse (the best verse!). Same goes for all the grandkids. Now Uriah's verse is my favorite. You can't go wrong with "where is uriah? eating a papaya..before he takes a nap, in his mama's lap". Haha! Its Charleigh's favorite too. Don't judge my family, we have fun.
Lots of people tell my mom she needs to make the horse song into a children's book. I think they're right. I'm giving her a few more years and then I'm going to do it! And take alllll the money. Ok, maybe not, but how cool would that be to have a book made of the bedtime song we grew up with?!

Leave it to my mother, who probably just made up the song for a fussy baby Brent, to turn it into a song she sang all the time to all three of us, and then into a song that her children sing to their own. I don't know if Drew sings it to his kids, but I sing it to Char every day at naptime. She sings with me...loudly. I do know that Brent sings the song, because sweet little Elizabeth can sing it already..also loudly. haha we also like to send eachother texts with our newest verses. We're getting better...but some of them are not winners.

I can't seem to sleep lately..maybe I should try that old faithful song.

Where is the horse? He's resting of course..

Where is the dog? Sleeping like a log..

Thats all you get people, atleast until the book is published. :)
