fishing trip #2

amazing view!

Jason and his kids in the raft for a fish

Rhett was protecting Isabel from anything he could and she could use it, she's busy!

Christian and Colton caught salamanders all day instead of fish. they loved it!

June Birthdays and fathers day celebration

our annual hay ride!

Seth turned the 14! I can't handle it, he's too big. what happened to our little preemie?

Isabel is so into playing games with us right now. here is a collage with her being silly with a hat at grandma's. Mary Beth came in and tried to join but Isabel wouldn't give it up. click on it to make it larger and you can see her proud little smile of victory at the end. she's trouble all right!

I DO have a horse still!

the kids and I have finally had a chance to go and spend some time with our horse Jimeny! she has been really neglected the past six years. I recently moved her to a friends house and they have a great place for us to ride. Jim is just the perfect horse for the kids, I am so excited to ride her more and more! Colt can ride all by himself and is really feeling like one of his hero's Roy Rogers. " Mom I wish Jimeny was a palomino like Trigger" is something he says quite often. well Colton get some hair dye and let's make her a blond! Isabel and Clay are really enjoying getting a pony ride. Isabel just wants to pet and pet her. Today I was leading Her around with Colton and Isabel on her back and they started to slide off the side, she just all the sudden stopped! when I turned around the kids were leaning and about to fall! what a good girl she is, she could feel them slipping! I have had Jimeny since I was about 9 years old. she has a special place in my heart and now in the heart of my kids too!
