Seeing Santa

Our town held the annual Christmas Party where Santa always makes an appearance! The boys are always very excited to tell Santa what they want and how good they have been. They could hardly wait! This year the plan was to ask for compound bows and arrows. I can hardly believe how fast they have grown up!!! Our little princess just wants dolls and dress up stuff. She is much easier to please...for now! But she wasn't to sure about seeing Santa! Wanted to wish all a Very Merry Christmas!!!

Fun at the Fair!

ImageI love fair time. It is always so busy, but I really do enjoy it! This year was probably the busiest one, yet it was the most fun! This year fair started way early for me because I knew my kids would be showing in the horse show and I had a goal to find a cute show shirt for Hadlee as well as my niece Jordyn. I got on ebay like every day and I got really good buys on these two adorable shirts that sparkled!!!! The little cowgirls absolutely loved them. When I went to give the shirts to them at their grammy Tammy's they ran around in them for a whole hour:) Hunter was so excited to ride Peppy this year and he is really excited to do walk/trot next year! Hayden did an incredible job riding Peppy in the 9 and under Horsemanship class. He loped and even though Peppy does not like her right lead much, she did switch it and he rode well. What a pleased mom and dad he had as this was his first time ever in a class that he had to lope in.
On Wednesday Hadlee was in the parade and she was so excited-that is until she found out that she would be riding on a trailer instead of horse:( Not a happy girl at all, but she looked cute, but would wear her hat! This year my sister KariAnne and I were asked to be flag girls. It was a good experience and was fun. We carried American Flags and it was a real AHH moment as 8 flags entered the arena. Special thanks to my sisters for all the help. Jeri-thanks for taking video and pics. Also big thanks to my best friend, my mom for all your help, we know you were extremely busy, but glad you could sneak away to watch the grand-kids!!!

ImageMy daughter absolutely LoVeS anything that moves! No seriously she loves riding the horses as long as we do not stop!!! She always loves RiDiNg on any kind of toy that she can make go, or a bike that she can move. Recently we went to a pizza joint that has all kinds of things to do for kids. It is good incentive to get our kids to eat dinner all gone and the reward is playing:) She got in this Flintstones car and totally had the time of her life. We just kept putting more and more coins in until we ran out. She screamed so bad when we were trying to pry her off of it!!! You think I would learn something. I went to a local store that has one of those moving horses in the foyer. Well I had a quarter and thought, why not she is being a pretty good girl today. And this will only take a second before I go in and do my shopping. Bad mistake-sure she had tons of fun while the thing was moving, but when it stopped, it was a whole lot of yelling and crying. I had to go back out to the car and get her to calm down before I could come back in and shop. Then I had to walk fast past the thing so she would not see and start all over again. She is my little pRiNcEsS, but sometimes she makes her mom crazy!!!!!!

Fun Friday – What Dinosaur Are You?

Fun Friday – What Dinosaur Are You?

Sometimes I struggle with my children. They can really test me. My boys are old enough to stop when I ask them to, yet sometimes they do not. They are totally into DINOSAURS and I found this on a blog that I follow and it has really helped!! :)

We went to Hardware Ranch this winter! The kids all enjoy wildlife and this is always such a fun thing. This elk was one of the biggest they had that were feeding that day. It was a great day and kind of nice little get-a -way!!!:)
