Izzy and Patsy

These are some pictures from a horse show a few weeks ago....been meaning to post them.

 

Izzy in her showmanship pose

First time riding alone at a horse show

I thought this was funny....the big draft horse next to Patsy, the miniature horse

Izzy won her 1st walk/trot class!

Showing off her ribbons that she won...2 firsts and a fourth

Jr. Historians

On the job....playing old fashion games

I was proud of them...it was sooo hot and they really didn't

get many visitors to their area. They kept a good attitude.

Cousins and friends

Cashing in their "treat tickets" for some ice cream....perfect treat

after such a hot afternoon.

Butterflies

Izzy and I found some monarch catepillars on a walk the other day so we brought them

home. We put them in a jar so we could watch their transformation into

beautiful butterflies. We have done this several times in years past but it never

gets old. It is so amazing! We even found a "baby" catepillar and were amazed by

how much he grew everyday. It is so neat to see the beautiful

new creation that comes out of the chrysalis.

Birthday Girl

On her birthday morning...ready to open her gifts.

She was so happy to get her 1st American Girl doll...Rebecca.

She opened it and said "You did it, Mom...you really got her!?!"

Special birthday meal at Red Robin

Family birthday party....opening gifts

Breyer horse...just one of many nice gifts that she received.

7 candles on an ice cream cake

It was a very relazing, fun time.

Happy 7th Birthday Izzy! We love you!

High Point Winner!

Her Trophy

Riding "Miss Sparkles"

Isabel did great at her horse show this weekend. She got 4th in

showmanship, 1st in lead line on Sat. and 2nd in lead line on Sun.

She had the most points in her age division so she won the

Pee Wee High Point award for the weekend. I am very

proud of her. Her winnings included a trophy, a stick horse,

about $30, and an embroidered chair. She is a happy girl! (despite

the strange expression on her face in this photo)

July 4th

Had a great 4th of July weekend. Went to see the fireworks on Sat.

night....the boys still plug their ears :) We also enjoyed time

on the boat, watching a golf tournament, swimming, and

camping in the backyard.
