It has been a very busy month in the church for us this month. Sam had his First Communion on Sunday, and I need to get the pictures downloaded. I am very, very proud of my children and my husband who has also decided to join St. John's Church.

I was also confirmed last month with oil and ashes. Those pics won't be posted!!!

Sam is an altar boy???!!! I was amazed and proud beyond belief. Go Sam!

2009-05-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

I am so proud of Sam.

Vi in the tub with very wet hair.

2009-05-18T10:46:00.000-07:00

You can barely see Vi down in the Baptism tub. It was such a sweet moment, and wet!

Sam and Boo. Sam is so sweet with the dog, and he is such a good kid.

2009-04-12T09:02:00.000-07:00

Daddy loves his new baby Boo! Alright he hates him. But we think he's pretty cute, and he is so playful. He and the cat actually like each other, and play constantly. He's now 4 months old.

Thank you to Michelle and Haley for all your love and...the cool pics!!

Two Pretty Princesses and a Prince

2009-02-28T17:47:00.000-08:00

Vi and her wonderful Bff, Haley. 3 firsts on Prince!

2009-02-28T17:41:00.000-08:00

Vi had her second horse show and again got third place, and there were more than 3 horses (Dad!)
Prince had to show 5 times as they had a problems with 2 horses (one of which Prince kicked the daylights out of, you gotta stay away from the Princey hay. My friend Michelle sent me these pics, and a video so I can get rid of the dark one, and all can see my lovely babies.

Time to get into makeup!

Vi's First Horseshow

2009-01-12T08:59:00.000-08:00

Vi's first horse show on Sweetie! She did great and we are so proud! I am going to try and edit her videos, they are too dark.

Vi can canter!

2008-09-07T12:49:00.000-07:00

Mommy is so proud.

Look, No Hands!

2008-09-07T12:35:00.000-07:00

Look at Vi, no hands!

Prince has separation anxiety. Bad.

2008-09-07T12:02:00.000-07:00

Poor Baby, stuck in a stall with mommy leaving.

Prince is an official academy showhorse!!!

2008-06-29T15:27:00.000-07:00

Prince was taken yesterday to the Horse Park not to be in a show, but to see how he'd react to being transported, strange arena, etc. He did so well that Lynn, the riding instructor, decided to have Ashlynn ride him. He won first place in the Pleasure Horse division and first place in the Equitation division (that is Ashlynn's skills). When Lynn called me you could have knocked me over with a feather! I am so proud of him, what a champ. He'll be in the Masterston Station horse show in the middle of July, and I plan to be there, camera clicking away.
Not to shabby for a rescue horse with no papers - I can't wait until Vi is in her first show!
Note: I always knew I posted too high, but good grief! Need to work on that...

Mom, leave me alone!!

2008-06-27T16:25:00.000-07:00

Remember when your kids were babies or toddlers and all you ever heard was crying for mommy, or "Mommy Mommy Mommy I neeeeeeed you!!" Well, I never thought I would miss that, but I do. Ten-year-old boys just don't need their mommies so much (unless you happen to be on the phone, in the middle of a conversation).

Sam playing The Rolling Stones. He can supply all your rock n roll needs :)

Erica would kill if...

2008-06-26T20:25:00.000-07:00

she saw this today. Sam, Vi, and best friend Haley just chilling watching a movie, no big deal except...there seems to be a ferret chilling with them...on Erica's bed!!

Vi is a ham

2008-06-26T20:18:00.000-07:00

Vi can be a little ham in front of the camera. She just got temporary braces! In PINK! Got to get a pic of that if she'll let me...

Erica graduates 2008

2008-06-26T20:10:00.000-07:00

Erica graduated High School, and will be attending school for welding in the fall. Check out the Clint Eastwood squint on that boy!

Sam can Jam

2008-06-26T19:59:00.000-07:00

This is from last year, Sam's first guitar recital. He knows mostly 70's Rock, some 90's, and some current. I will get a video of him playing hopefully this week. He learns the songs by ear, and never uses his sheet music (wow).

Vi can ride! That girl can post.

2008-06-26T17:20:00.000-07:00

This is Vi on Sweetie Pie. She actually walked my horse for the first time that day also, but I ran out of video. This film was taken on Father's Day. I did not realize our digital camera recorded sound as well so the annoying clicking sounds are made by me to keep lazy Sweetie trotting.
Vi also rode in a charity ride for St. Jude's Hospital. To my surprise, so did Prince. One of the instructors put baubles of all colors in his mane. I took a pic and will post it later. A man at the barn was horrified that these baubles would be in a BOY horse's mane. It was pretty funny.
