Horsey Night

Just had to brag and show off some wonderful cowgirl Leah pictures!! I couldn't be more proud...she's fully horse/animal obsessed like her mother and definitely Tonnka's #1 fan. We had such a fun night just putzing around the arena...got a few that were snapped. Be sure to catch the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lqam4zgSe8

Hello all! Been awhile since I've posted an update or pics...so here you go! I tried to take several from various corners of the property, so you can get an idea of the layout and size. With the fence up, it's a lot easier to see. What's REALLY easy to see, is the endless amount of DIRT we have out here! It's NUTS! Finer than baby powder...really. Gets everywhere, blows everywhere, it's super fun. We're tackling the sprinklers and a new horse shelter here very soon.

All is well with us though, just staying super busy getting things done around the house. Most recently, we had our back patio poured - it turned out really nice! Getting the stairs poured this Monday, so we should have that project finished up soon. Will be nice to enjoy a BBQ out back for Labor Day. Ryan just returned from 2 weeks in Virginia for work again and is busy at it since returning home. He enjoyed a really nice weekend with the Karlson family, celebrating our new nephew Gabriel's 1st birthday and baptism. Mommy Shawna was also baptized, so it was really nice that Ryan could at least attend.

Ethan starts Kindergarten this coming Wednesday and BOY OH BOY, is he ever excited!! We went to the school open house last night, met his teacher, checked out his brand new school (super nice!) and enjoyed ice cream there too. We stopped by again this morning to show daddy...we're all really excited for him. Leah and I will try adjusting to home alone time together while he's there. A new schedule is something we're all going to have to figure out.
Take care everyone! Keep in touch as always!
