Responsibility

So I have been battling insomnia and this have given me time to research homeschool companies, today I took off for Lafayette to view Abeka's program, we really like the program and are hoping to use them for all the kids next year it will be nice to have all the kids using the same programs. Also we had some more pictures taken of the girls and their horses and the boys and their dirt bikes, while taking photos it actually started snowing, sooo not ready for that. The kids have been working on saving their money for various things, I have been teaching them responsibility by requiring them to help pay for their hobbies, with Dalton he is saving for a trip to Monster Mountain this winter to help with his training. And the girls paid for their drainage system so hopefully the pasture will dry out and the horses wont have to traspe through mud all the time, now if we could get a little dry weather to finish it. Also with the remainder or any more they make they are either going to purchase new blankets for the horses or buy Avery a new saddle which she needs desperately, we had to resort to duct tape on her old one LOL. Mckenzie will have a week off next week and I can not wait, we miss her terribly. It will sooo nice to have her home, she is bringing a friend home Friday, Emily is her roommate and a great friend to her, she has brought Kenzie out of her shell, which is a blessing, Kenzie doesnt usually go out or do much (not that I am complaining) but a teenager needs to have fun!!! And her and Emily def. do that. And its good clean fun even better. I am going in for a surgical procedure next week, I pray they can figure this stomach issue out, tired of the pain. Here are some of the pictures taken , none of Kenzie this time as she absolutely hates her pic taken.
