Its been a while since I posted but of course we have been up to lots. The boys have been having a blast mowing grandma Packard's yard, they absolutely love working outside, now if I could get them boys to like housework I would have it made. Dalton's racing has been wonderful, he is getting faster every week. School is finally out for the kids, Kenzie is very excited about going to the Academy in the fall, it is kinda bittersweet, I am proud of her but sad to see her go so soon, I guess it is time to let her spread her wings. The girls attended a local horse show a couple of weeks ago and came home with 14 ribbons.......WOW!! Proud of them for all the hard work and dedication they have put in all year long, it certainly showed. In halter class Bently our Friesian Sport Horse stood there so still and behaved, I was sooo surprised, most horses of his young age dont seem to behave that well, but Hunter has put in the time with him and it showed.  Avery and Sassy did great even though she was her usual naughty pony self. Hunter and her Kentucy Mountain Saddle Horse did wonderful in the gaming portion as well, I was surprised because Hunter hasnt been able to work with her as much as she liked to ,  but Chrissy is just one of those horses you can pick out of he pasture and go, she is def. one of a kind and it seems that her and Hunter have developed a closer bond this year, Chrissy is one of those horses that is not particularly affectionate, however she has really started to respond to Hunter and her body language and you can really tell she cares for Hunter this year, it is so beautiful to watch. Well enough about the horses.  Aiden is sooo excited about the summer, he has been begging for another pool, we sold ours last year because noone used it and it always seemed to be green . But now everybody misses it Ughhhh!!! and I really dont want to get a Walmart Pool, I dont think that woud last with my kids I would like to get one from a regular pool dealer like we had, we should have just kept what we had, geez what a delima,.........now if I only had $ for this pool. I think the kids should pool all of their money and pay for it, I really think they have more $ than Bill and I. They work and are able to save all year round, lets see if they are willing to give up their stash LOL.    Here is a pic of the gorgous little Avery in her Western Wear at the Horse Show!
