Fun video clip

Since I've figured out how to get Facebook video posted here....enjoy this from back in April.

Morning with friends....

Kaitlyn has been wanting to go to our babysitter's house to ride with her and swim and play.....

It gets confusing, our babysitter is Katie, and one of her horses that Kaitlyn rode- is named Katie...lucky for you, I don't refer to Kaitlyn as Katie in writing ;) Usually.....

I brought the whole clan over to her house...we left at 7:40am. It's a whole long five minute drive. :)

Naturally Sweetie wanted to go along too, well her owner wanted to bring her along anyhow. Speaking of, Kimberlyn actually rode her for about two laps around the arena. Kimberlyn loves her pony, but she's just not into riding per se. Sweetie sure isn't a fan of being left behind, I'm certain she enjoyed her morning away.

Enjoy the pictures!

The girls riding....so sweet!

Sweetie showing off that she's still "got it" ~ in another month or so I think Kaitlyn's feet might knock over that 8" high jump ;)

Here's Kaitlyn riding Katie the horse.

Sad but true...only picture of Kaitlyn and Katie riding...and it was while Robby was "shooting" chickens.

Then he moved on to making a baby toad ride Sweetie and photographing the event. Keep in mind Sweetie is itty bitty and this toad was the just size of a quarter.


Playing in the chicken coop....




Is this some new species??




Pool Time!!


Tommy SLIDING!!!





Was all fun and games until he slipped off the ladder and went boom :( He finally went down again...and I got it video taped.

Kaitlyn's First June Show....

June 5, 2010 ~ Ridgefield Charity Show, Wildwood, MO
I forgot the camera.....argh....but I did purchase a sweet photo of Kaitlyn taken in her Equitation over fences class (meaning the judge was judging the rider) that she placed 1st in.



The second picture was found after we left the show. Another show mom saw it and purchased it for us. Man, if I have never told you before, we show with a fabulous group and I feel very blessed to know another show mom thought of us knowing we'd love the picture. It's just a precious shot of Kaitlyn and her pony. The shot was taken while she and Romeo were hanging out in the shade watching another rider on our team compete while Mom was actually sifting through the photos on the photographer's viewing computer.



The last picture is of Kaitlyn, her loot and her instructor. Kaitlyn won Reserve Champion in her Short Stirrup division. The brush she is hold has a name plate on it saying Reserve Champion...she was so excited on that one. The spray bottle was an "extra" prize awarded along with her first place ribbon.


Enjoy!

So it's official...

Effective today, he's called Lt Col Nance!

Kimberlyn had the job of taking the old rank off...

Larry screamed "ouch" just a moment before this shot...

Tommy loved "his" flowers. I tried explaining that they were mine, and flowers are for girls...all that accomplished was a few laughs from behind us and a very vocally upset 3yr old. So he calls them his still!
