Kates horse riding lessons

We have found a great riding lesson for Kate.  She has been a few times and is really enjoying it.

This is the indoor arean where she rides.  It is a really nice facility.  The open door off to the left is where the stables are. 

Stables

They have these cute miniture ponies.  Kate doesn't ride them.

This is the horse Kate rides.  He is a sixteen year old quarter horse.  His name is Skiz.  He has been great!

Yesterday was Kates first time roping.  She really liked it and picked it up pretty quick.

These are Kates new boots. 

One of the ironies of my blog is that the more I have to blog about, the less time I have to blog.  We have done so much this summer that I haven't had a lot of time to write about it.  I'm going to try to write about all we have done, but it won't be in chronological order.

Last weekend, the kids and I went to Mom and Dads.  It was a great weekend!  Kate "had to" get in the river because she had ants "all over her".  The kids stayed up late every night playing tag and ghost in the graveyard with Tyler.  We all got together for dinner and laughed a lot!  It was the typical weekend at Grandma's and Grandpa's.  Of course we all missed having G'ma and G'pa there. 

Vicki made the best birthday card for Mom and Cody on smilebox.  The movie (below) is when we were taking the pictures for the card.  (I thought you would like a "behind-the-scenes" look, Mom.  Love ya!)
