New Years catch up







Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. We have now had our horse for 2 months! We have learned soooo much in the past 8 weeks and people have been so nice and helpful. We have also made a lot of new friends. Lexi has been working our friend Kaylie learning to ride and she went to a show in Pasco just 2 weeks after getting the horse. She got two 2nd place ribbons and 1 first place ribbon! We were so proud of her!

Just this past Saturday we went to a local rodeo where she got 2nd place in "keyhole". She also participated in barrels and poles, but still needs some work. The experience in its self was worth it and she did great, barely even nervous.


Amanda (daughter to the owners where we keep CK) got a mini donkey from her boyfriend for Christmas! He's so cute...added pic here with the kids. She also got a new horse shown running barrels in another pic. Other pics are Lexi and Kaylie the girl thats working with Lexi and one of Lexi makng CK smile and show his teeth...and of course my new truck:):)

What else is new?..... We now have 1 of the 24 baby balloon mollies left....not sure why they died off but the momma died too about 2 weeks after the babies were born. The baby was reciently named Nemo since he's the last and only one to survive.
Kids and hubby are good. Homeschooling back on track after the holidays, not to Lexi's likeing but got it done none the less. Brandon is addicted to Star Wars Legos on the xBox....he got to a point where he didn't want to leave the house and with us having to go work with the horse each day, that was a problem. We decided to buy the game for the Nintento DS and now he takes it everywhere with him.
I got Fatbaby boots for Christmas and Matt got me a new truck! Black Toyota Tundra! I also asked for a sewing maching, a horse and a horse trailer...I got them all! A Singer sewing maching, and "porcelain" horse and a "die cast " horse trailer. Not quite right but it was a hefty list so I understand the humor. :)
Dogs are here...
Sean's still here...Mat's cousin. He decided to stay another year and put his $$ towards a new car he desperatly needed. He's a good guest and has become part of our family.
Now for the pics....enjoy ......I'll try to post again soon......
