Prom

Last week was Prom night for Hannah and her date, Josh.  Since Josh goes to a different school, they were off to his prom.  The day of the event was unfortunately the day we were putting in 1100 bales of hay.  We did ask her to text us when Josh came to pick her up so that we could see them off and take photos.  They had a good time as they went with 2 other couples from church.

Just a few pictures of Leah and Julia's last show.  Leah took Izara and it was her first time doing stadium and XC.  She did really well and only had a couple of refusals the whole day.  Julia did excellent with Jackson and took second place overall in her level.  It was great weather and fun to watch them both succeed at their goals with their horses.

Jim's New Bike

 Last fall, Jim purchased this dual sport bike.  He wanted something that was road legal, but also something that he could ride on the trails or track.  He has really been enjoying it this spring since it has been so mild.  The kids really like that he has it because that means another vehicle is available for them to use since he rides it to work.  When we take Leah to horse shows, he loads it up in the trailer in the second horse stall.  When we get to our destination, he rides it around the area until it is her time to show.  We could probably assume that this will be his "favorite horse!"  

Glen Oro

         A couple of photos from Leah's first show of the season at Glen Oro.  She did well, but did get eliminated on the XC course because Blaze refused the corner jump 3 times.  I guess he needs more practice on that type of jump.  It was great to watch them showing again.  Jim enjoyed coming too and packed a second "horse" in the trailer. . .his motorcycle!  He rode that around the countryside while Leah was warming up/practicing.

Caledon Clinic

Just a few pictures of Leah at her clinic on Monday.  She participated in the stadium and XC events.  It was good to be able for Blaze to school over some jumps he normally would see on the course.  Especially water. . .he seems to be a bit of a wimp with water.

Mother's Day

Had a wonderful Mother's day this year with all the kids (and dog).  Got some great gifts/cards that were very thoughtful and nice.  Perfect weather made the day even better. I have been blessed with wonderful kids!

Happy Birthday, Hannah

Happy 18th birthday to our favorite oldest daughter, Hannah!  She has been a joy to our lives and we look forward to seeing all that God has in store for her in her future.  We are very thankful for the past 18 years we have been priviledged to raise her.  Have an awesome day, Hannah!
