Wow is it ever foggy.....

I can't even see across the street today and it just seems to be getting worse as the day goes on. I had planned on going out by Danny today but not with this weather. The roads are like an ice rink and the fog is like pea soup. Then tonight the temps are supposed to drop and more snow coming in tomorrow.....geez one of these days I will get out there. Going to make him a nice bran mash when I do get out there. He will really like that! I should bring him some Trix cereal too!

Happy Holidays.....

Hello all, hope your Christmas was as wonderful as mine....kids are happy....dog is happy....horse will be happy soon (haven't been out in a while due to weather and being busy...I know, bad horsey mom, I know) Lindsay is very happy....she even got two new Bryer horses from Santa for model horse this year.

I got my Carhart jacket and matching baseball hat so I'm happy!

Busy Busy Busy...

Wow been busy busy with the eBay business again.....yup I started it up again.....and fortunately it's rockin' so far.

The lump on Danny's withers is gone now...which is GREAT! I'm very happy about that.....now I can start riding again...of course it's been really cold lately and it dumped about 5 inches of snow the other day so I haven't had much of a chance to ride.

Kids are good ....... dog is good .... that's about it for updates! Yeah I know I'm pretty boring!

hehe later

Cool Weekend Ahead....

Looks like it's going to be a chilly one this weekend. The horses should all be in a nice 'fresh' mood. Planning on riding this weekend so hopefully he won't be too 'fresh' feeling.

I'm hoping to get all the rest of the canning finished this weekend too. I don't have too much left...just need to do the Apple Pie In A Jar yet then I'm done for the year.

Wish me luck riding!

Ready for another year of 4-H...

Well the girls are all signed up for another exciting year of 4H. They aren't doing as much this year (which is a good thing for me I think....hehe) ... C is not going to show a horse at all this year, she has decided that she would rather just fool around in the arenas and trail ride than be in a show ring (says it's boring)... She did very well with her photography this last year and is really enjoying it...she received all blue ribbons for her photos (about 15) and one received a Merit Award and was Selected for State! She did also get the Medal for showing Haley (the mini she showed). She had a wonderful fair! A lot of fun!

... L is no longer going to show Double Time (the mini)...she wants to ride this year so she is going to be showing Danny.....she's very excited about it! She did get a blue ribbon and 2 red ribbons showing DT this last fair. She did very well with her photos and other exploring items she took to fair....all first and second place ribbons......one third place for Model Horse but we will be working harder on that this coming year. She too, had a wonderful fair! And a ton of fun!

Meet Dakota...Our newest family member...

What we've been doin'......

Things have been good this last couple weeks.....Danny is healed nicely now.....we've been riding him bareback at least 3 times a week......the new bareback pad is working out very well. I trotted him last night in it and it's much more comfortable on the bones then with out... :)

Lindsay showed Double Time (the mini she leases) at the 4H Fun Show last week and took a 5th Place. She was very happy with that........Double Time was being bratty!

Chelsea has been working hard on her photography projects lately (finally) lol..........She's doing good.....getting a little bit of everything and has about 800 pictures so far to use.

We went and picked Strawberries on Saturday, made some jam and regular strawberries in syrup.....then the girls helped me can them all.......we got a way lot more then we needed, but they had a blast doing it and eating them as we picked.....I ate so many picking that I drove home with a gut ache.
