Having a lovely day. Ava was a riot and kept us laughing!!
My Niece Elsa Reese
Nothing much to say, other than... She's beautiful.
Momma too.
Even when she still had some swelling she was really cute
Coming home from the hospital
Continued...
She had to be on Billi lights and Grandma loved just sitting and looking at her little head.
Like this...
And they took the impressions of her hand and feet. Aren't those shoulders awesome?
all gussied up for the doctor.
One hot momma just days after giving birth.We love them both and hope they are doing well and loved being able to be with them and enjoy their company. Kiss that baby for me Brandi! Love you.
Out of Control
We are out of control. No. We didn't buy this gorgeous horse, but we did in a way... *cough* We decided that since Dad doesn't have enough time to keep Spark ridden, and she is a gorgeous, fantastically well bred mare... why not get a BABY!!!!
These pictures are terrible, but the best I have for now. This is the stud we are breeding her to, and I'm sure it will be a great cross. He's driftwood and bluevalentine bred, and has a phenominal disposition. A nice horse that I'm sure will give us a great baby. Now we just pray that she'll settle.
I promise, he's not high headed, but we had just brought Spark and he was interested in looking at the fresh meat.
A remarkable story in fact, we found him just a month before the owner was cutting him and getting out of the breeding business. Sinful to cut a nice, well bred stud like him, but to each his own.
Spark came in heat a few days ago and they have bred her. They're covering her every other day until she goes out again and then, we just cross our fingers!
My New Baby!
So I never did officially post that we got Get Smart, but here he is. Isn't he darlin'?
I love this little guy, though he's growing and changing every day. Since we took these pictures he has filled out alot and is actually kind of chubby... I tend to feed alot without giving him enough exercise. What can I say? I've been busy. But I did pass all my sumer semester classes with A's.
Tending Ava Belle
Such Cute Girls. Mom loves to dote on Ava. Notice the outfit, bracelet and bow. (She's glad Brandi's having a girl, in her words they are much more fun to dress.)
What a doll
She's taking after grandma with liking green apples
At first she was just sucking on it and then she actually got a bite out of it.
Polly The Paint
Hello all,
I am officially breaking the Tait's horse, Polly the paint. She is a two year old paint mare who has never really been handled. She was born in a stall and stayed there until we brought her over here. As a concequence, she was an absolute nut. She would strike and kick and bite, nearly all at the same time. :) She was also terrified of nearly everything that is not commonly found in a stall.
The Tait's are on their mission and want to see her progress so I thought the easiest way to stay in contact with them would be to make a blog of her training experiences. I made a link on the side under OTHER LINKS and you can see our progress as well. Since the Tait's are going to be following it closely you can make comments here. Or if you want to comment there, just don't say anything that might offend them, like, "That's the dangum uglest hearse I iverdun sawed!" :)
Love ya all.

July 4th
It can't be the 4th without a parade, though we were seriously considering not going. In the end it was fun. :)
We sat by some pretty cute kids, and I got a few new painting ideas.
I laughed so hard when I looked over and saw this! Mom is holding Tell, (you can see by the watch) and the way loud sirens are going by so she's trying to block his ears with Maji's help... You can see by Tell's face that... I don't even know.. He's scared? Purplexed? About to cry? Enjoying himself? Regardless, I thought it was exceptionally funny.
GRR!
So apparently I post what I would feel is chronologically, however the stupid blog thing doesn't do it that way.. If you have a trick which remedies the situation I'd be pleased to hear it, or just keep your mouth shut and read the post's backwards.
Family Hike, CONTINUED!
Mom packed snacks. Isn't that nice?
Hiking... Uphill... On the craggy rock... I'm out of breath.
And the rains descended and the floods came and beat upon the earth... and us.
So that's about the end of it. We got to the Durango and drove on home.
