PONY DELIVERY

The ponies moved in just over two weeks ago on Good Friday.

Ruby came off the trailer supercharged, thankfully she has resumed her sweet disposition here in the last few days.

The girls at home out back, picture taken from our living room window, now this is the life. Ponies in the backyard!!! We are all LOVING IT!
Ruby taking a look at something...

Sweetie taking a snooze...

Tommy turned "cowboy" on us. he wasn't very interested in the horses at the farm in Ohio, things have changed rather drastically and rather quickly. He is a pro at the dismount already too--only from Sweetie though!
This is exactly the reason Kaitlyn made this comment recently...she said "Mom, Daddy's turned horsey on us." She also reminds him he doesn't really "hate horses" as he mumbled all the time during the fence installation as he seems to need his "horsey fix" every night!
That crazy father worked in the rain, sleet and snow LITERALLY to get the fence up for Pony Delivery day! Check out Tommy...shirt, diaper and boots, what more does a country bumpkin need??

Proof of my crazy hubby (with his dad too) working in all weather conditions....

And Triple-back anybody! Ruby is a charm...

Larry got another box checked off on his "Life To-Do List" ~he got to drive a Bobcat! We got a contractor to drill the fence post holes after Larry decided not to kill his back anymore on the drilling himself....
Checking off the list for farm supplies....house not totally unpacked, but by golly we have a nice wheel barrow assembled in our living room!!! And it was tested out on a load of....CHILD :)

SO cute!!! If you want to buy local hay for them the farm that we work with sells hay from their field. They harvest and keep enough for their horses for the winter then they sell the rest right off the field in bales if you like. Just let me know. :) I love that you finally have your horses at home! I am sure the horses and your kids are just thrilled!!!

I'm glad you are enjoying the good life out there in IL, even though we miss you here in OH!
