TRAIL RIDE 9/22/07

We had our church Trail Ride on Saturday at the Tarrant Ranch. We had a great time riding, fellowship, worship and fun! I am excited that I got a picture of all of us together. That is a accomplishment, normally we get somewhere and everyone goes in different directions! Savannah even took a few pictures herself! (she took the one of me and "Shelby!") It was a great day! On Sunday we had our 4 year anniversary on the grounds-with a potluck dinner, games, play day and good ole fellowship. It was a great and blessed weekend.

FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!



Football is here! Our son is playing this year on the JV team for our high school. He is #73. They did a great job last night and won there game. We have been blessed that he has moved closer to us and is going to the same school district as his little sister. In the past, they have lived out of town and with him here, we get to see him more and be involved in his sports. Yeah! My husband has said they have created a monster with me! Being as I am always at Savannah's school and have started helping the moms booster club with the football team. We get together every Tuesday night and decorate the locker room and there lockers. It is a fun way to be involved and meet new people. That is right up my alley! I know I have been blessed to be able to stay at home and be involved with our children. We are proud of you son! Way to go Tigers!!!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

GREAT FIND!

I wanted to let you all know about this great product I have been using on the horses and our dog. A friend of ours told us about it in Mid August. By the way, she is a die hard fan of this as well! I have been using it since then and love it! We have a horse that has allergies and rubs his tail head almost bald, nothing had worked so far. I tried this product and within 3 days he had new hair growth there. He also rubs one spot on his mane, there is normally no hair there, I have been putting this on it and he has new hair growth there. My mare got gaulded by her girt and I used it on that and it cleared up within 2 days. The dog had a spot she had scratched and I put it on her and hair growth visible within 2 days!! I know that sounded like a infomerical, but we have had great success with this product and I wanted to pass along a great find to all my blogging buddies!!

Girl time!



Well the last couple of days have been girl time around here! My husband left on Thursday to go help one of our friends with his cattle. He is coming back late this evening. While my husband has been gone we have been having "girl time" as Savannah calls it. We have watched a girlie movie, went on a trail ride with a couple of friends. And I have had a few nights off cooking supper! We went today with a few friends on a trail ride on a ranch in our area. Me, Savannah, L.D. and Mary had a great time. The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful as was the great fellowship! We have enjoyed our "girl time" but we both are ready for Daddy to come home! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

SAVANNAH'S 2nd RCRA RODEO 9/8/07




Savannah had her 2nd RCRA rodeo this past Saturday. She did a great job and we are very proud of her. She wanted to ride my horse this rodeo. Her and "Angel" did a great job!! I did not get pics this time of the sorting, I was helping and missed her turn! Her and her Dad did this rodeo together and got to spend some quality time together. I am glad they had the opportunity to do that. The RCRA is a great organization and we are blessed to be a part of it.

Just a thought........

I have had several people ask me what am I doing with all my free time since Savannah is in school? Free time what is that?? I know I am busier now than when she was with me at home. I am trying to get everything done before I have to pick her up. I have my normal things I do during the week and than anything else that gets added to it. Today was grooming day, or as my husband calls it spa day for the horses! I took her to school and than came home and got to work on the horses. They get the royal treatment-clipping there face hair, braiding there manes and tails, brushing down, cleaning there hooves, fly sprayed. They get braided 3 times a week and a bath once a week. Then I am also riding them during the week, along with all the house work, whew! I know I am tired with her being in school! I hardly sit down to eat dinner! My goal is to have all my things done before I pick her up in the afternoon. So I can spend some quality time with her. Of course she helps every evening fixing supper, that is a bonding time for us. I still remember the times in the kitchen with my mom! I also want to organize/declutter all the rooms of the house while she is in school. We seem to have accumulated a lot of stuff and it is time to sort through it! Well, better get off and get back to it here! Tomorrow is busy as the farrier is coming out first thing in the morning. Savannah has her 2nd rodeo on Saturday and we have church and a play day on Sunday. A busy weekend lays ahead. I will get pics posted from her rodeo next week. I was wondering what do you do with your free time?? (or what do you do that you enjoy?) I know for me it is riding my horse, that is so relaxing and so close to God. A great time to reflect and enjoy God's beautiful creatures and the outdoors!
