Bird Buddies

 This summer we had fun watching The Hawk's parakeet Sunny.  Sunny the green parakeet is now Joey's best friend.  He loves her.  They spent two weeks together and Hannah loved every minute of it!

 

Independance Day!

Happy 4th of July! We had a great day! It is always fun to spend time together! We love Root beer Floats and Bbq salmon Burgers. Yummy! We made these festive coasters for our drinks. God Bless the USA!

Father's Day 2013

 

Hannah had a Art's Camp all week and she performed with a Flag.  This Color Guard experience was new for her but she really enjoyed it. They had a fun production on Father's Day.  We came back and had a BBQ.  We made Mike a Nutty Mix filled with chocolate covered almonds and assorted nuts.  We found a funny picture and put it on the container. Hannah also made a canister decorated  with duct tape to take to work.  He is a special Man! Thankful for his Dedication and Love for his family. It was a fun day!

Birthday Fun! 11 Years old!

Hannah is 11 years old!  WE made wooden heart name tags for the Guinea Pigs at the Piggie Poo Rescue.  Had taco bar for dinner with Lemon cake & lemon frosting.  Finished the night with a concert in the park.  Brought Bubbles and hula hoops for some outdoor fun!

Happy Memorial Day!

Lord, bring about in this nation an attitude of great respect and honor for all who are serving in the military and for those who have served in the past. I thank You for the many men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our nation. Please protect all of the men and women of our armed forces.  Give them courage, faith, and clarity of mind to do their job. Put a hedge of protection around them. Let no weapon formed against them prosper.  Give them strength to endure.  Amen!

Enjoying strawberry shortcake with family...Thankful for our Freedom!  Life is good! 

County Fair & Gymkhana

Hannah won 1st Place in the County Fair!  She was so excited.  She entered her two piggies Mille and Izzy Mae in the cavy area. She received a blue ribbon and trophy for Showmanship and her piggies received Best of Breed and Best Variety. The last day they had a costume contest.  She dressed her furry friends up as a bumble bee and flower.  She had a lot of fun

. 

She also experienced two Gymkhana's this year.  This is a competition with barrel racing, goat tying, & weaving poles. Sprocket the horse she has generously been allowed to ride is a wonderful spirited horse.  Hannah has had to learn to control his excited nature.  When he gets in the ring he wants to run immediately.  It can be very scary.  She relaxes her hands to take charge or he will bolt to the barrels.  I love to watch the kids handle these beautiful large animals.  It is exciting!  Hannah really just likes to ride.  I think she is glad to have had this experience.  It has tested her confidence and has got her out of her comfort zone.  She won some 1st place ribbons and second place ribbons on Sprocket.  But,  I don't think she really cares about that.  She just loves to ride and care for Sprocket.  He is a sweet horse! He is all business when he gets into the ring. 

Whooooa! Sprocket!
