Sassy the bucking bronco

I cant tell you how proud of Avery I am a year ago this little girl didnt know the first thing about riding, and now she is working with probobly one of the most naughty but awesome ponies out there and never gets upset of scared and just sticks with her. Here is a picture of her latest stunts!! Avery must have velcro on her butt!! I dont know how this girl hangs on!! We love this pony to pieces not very many ponies can do all of the things she can do. Knowing that if she intended she could fully get Avery off her back, gives you a better understanding of her personality, she is one of those ponies that you just have to love!!!!!!! She is the best even though she is not perfect, she will be teaching kids to ride years from now, hopefully my grandkids    

Rabbit Condo

All the kids worked hard and long on the Rabbit Condo. I am not sure whether they got more paint on the Condo or themselves but none the less it is done and the cute bunnies and next years 4-h projects are enjoying the fruits of their labor,I think Aiden enjoyed it the most!! Here is a picture of the finished project! Also this is like TV for the Cats they just sit and stare. perhaps this is a little mean, but kinda funny too. LOL

Since our last post I have found out I am Diabetic what a life change this has been. At first it was a little depressing but I believe this will turn out to be a positive thing.  This will force me to eat healthy and therefore shed some lbs, and hopefully by next summer I will be riding horses right along with my girls!! Dalton has taken his motocross to the next level.......We are so proud of him he is doing what it takes to hopefully make it pro!! If he keeps up the good work I have no doubt that will happen!!! The girls have raked in 25 ribbons in the 3 shows they have attended thus far. pretty impressive!! The kids are enjoying their time off from school, and I would have to say I am too, it is nice not to have to worry about homework and grades for the few weeks of summer. Last week we took a trip to the Academy to finalize McKenzie's schedule and last minute paperwork for her upcoming 2 years there, it is sad to see her go off 2 years before we expected but we are sooo proud of her accomplishments, and I am positive the Academy will be a much better fit for someone of her Academic abilities!!! I took the plunge and traded in my Yukon XL for a new 2011 Dodge Ram truck it ended up being $100.00 a month cheaper and it is brand new with warrenty as well as ins. and plates are cheaper and it will haul horses much better!! I do miss my Yukon but the truck it a better fit for our family right now, and my Yukon was an 2007 with almost 80,000 miles on it. Well have a wonderful day and may you all be blessed. Have a wonderful 4th of July.
