Sammie's first Holy Communion May 3 2009

Sweet Sammie's first Communion

Spring Break

If you ask my kids they would say we work more during spring break....they say to me "isn't this suppose to be a break?" Oh well we have lots to do! The animals all need tuned up, and worked with, they yard needs work, the flower beds need help and the garden needs ready for spring crops! The house needs spring cleaning and they need to not sit around watching tv and playing video games all day!
We had a beautiful spring day and the horses did awesome!

ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

So much is going on! Since I didn't publish it and nobody was invited John and I got married February 25th at the Canyon County Courthouse. Yeah us:)

Exciting stuff is happening!
Horse show season is coming up I'll post those when I get them.
For now Sam is taking First Holy Communion this year at church on May 3rd at 9:30am at the St. Joseph's Church in Melba
Morgi has a Race Against Drugs dance performance at the Nampa Civic Center on Monday May 18th at 7:pm
That's all so far:)

So I know it's been a long time but at least that way I can come up with a lot of things to talk about! Well in January my brother Chris and his girlfriend Alisa stayed with us for a month before moving to Austin Texas to experience a little southern hospitality....We sure miss them! February brought a sweet little Dairy goat and she kidded just 4 days after we got her so we can milk her already we also bought 5 laying hens and sure enough we get 5 eggs a day we have 3 dozen built up in the fridge! Crazy! Sam has been working on classes for his first holy communion this year in May he had his first confession a few weeks ago he was so nervous! He also is entering his first year in Horse showing! He had his first show a week ago and he did sooooo good! His horse sure loves him! He's so insirational, I sure love him! Morgan tried out for a Rage Against Drugs performance our school puts on throughout the state and at the Nampa Civic Center and she was chosen for a dance part and as an alternate in another flag dance part. She is so proud and excited! She is entering her third year in horse 4-H and she pretty much does it all herself! She is so capable! She is so sweet and kind! Jackie is buys beeing an emotional teenager and turning her face permanantly blue from her cell phone but she is still maintaining her awesome gpa and She is entering her 5th year as a horse showman. She is definately my right hand man! I sure love her and her positive outlook on the world! The end of February John and I decided to make it official and we went to the Canyon County Courthouse and got married on the 25th! We are so happy! I sure love him! It's like God made us for eachother! He goes along with all of my crazy hippie farm ideas and I like how he drives crazy:) LOOOOOOVEEEE:)
Anyway the kids and I are coming upon spring break next week and our plans include planting early vegetables, riding horses, leading goats, and taking bike rides.....hopefully the weather shows us it's happy days
