Horse Show!

The girls were in a horse show recently 
and I wanted to share.

It was SO SO SO windy and cold!!
But in spite of the weather and
the fact they haven't been a part of a show
in a year, maybe two,
the girls did so so good!

They were both so beautiful on Val,
and both seem to have inherited 
their horse riding/showing talent..... 
from their Daddy's side.
I am afraid of large animals.
Shhh. Don't tell anybody.

Miss Doodle won the blue ribbon!
Woohoo!!
Ok, ok, ok. She was in the Leadline class
with all the little bity cute ones
and they gave them all a blue ribbon and a 
bouquet of bunny suckers. 



Miss Rayray won 2nd place in two academy classes
and she won 3rd in the championship class.
Remember I said she hasn't shown in a year or two?
We were like.....WOW!
She also doesn't get to ride and practice much either 
since we live 3.5 hours from Granny and Granddaddy
who own the stables. 
So......I'm thinking if she was able to ride everysingleday,
the other kids wouldn't have much opportunity
to ever win a blue bc of her!
Don't you think???

Your girls looked so beautiful. I sometimes (uh but when I think of the work and time that goes into horses-oi) wish I had a pair or two to traipse thru the tulips with...OK, maybe not tulips-maybe the fields,...that is such a wonderful experience for the girls! Congrats to them both.

Your girls are stars in whatever they do... just like their mama! :)

Your girls are darling! Congratulations to both of them. I know you are proud. Thanks so much for your recent comments on my blog. It's so good to hear from you and touch base. Yes, I love the card catalog...I keep thinking how much stuff it will hold, and I always need storage place for "stuff!" :-) You should check with the library to see if they have card catalogs for sale. I love the old, old ones with the wooden handles or the old brass handles that have tarnished with the years. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,
Paula

My First Assignment!

Image
Oh, What a Feeling!!! That's the title of my first BFS Assignment. I'm to share a little about what led us to homeschool in the first place....and our ups and downs. The title is kind of funny to me...mainly because THIS homeschool mom runs the gamut of "feelings" about our home educating adventure. One day I feel great and encouraged...the next day I might feel like I've completely lost my mind to think I can teach my own children a livelong thing. One day I feel like I knowthatIknowthatIknow Father has called us to homeschool and the next day, I feel like I'm completely ruining the poor little dears! Please tell me I'm not alone! My two older brothers and their wives introduced the idea of homeschooling to me, who went to a private school all 12 years. There were friends here in our small town, as well, who were homeschooling when hardly no one else in a 60 mile radius was. I talked to my sister in laws at length about their reasons for homeschooling and...

Rayray's Recap of American Idol

Image
Since I haven't blogged on American Idol in awhile, our Rayray is going to blog tonight in my place. So without further adieu, here's your American Idol recap, through the eyes of a 13 year old. Hey people! I am so honored to be my mama's first guest blogger! Here we go...My first American Idol blog! I'm so excited! :D Allison, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing: Oh, Allison. Why in the earthly WORLD did you pick that song? That's David Cook's song! *Flashes back to last season* David brought it on that song last year. *flashes back to present* It was too low pitched. I wanted to see her hittin' those big notes tonight. I'm a big fan of Allison, but it just wasn't that great tonight. Anoop Dawg, Everything I Do I Do For You: You should've taken Randy's advice. Rough it up! It sounded like he didn't even try to take his advice. I'm kinda sick of ballads, too. Is it just me, or has he done one like, three weeks in a row? ( PajamaMama loved ...

What You Missed....

Image
Why is it that when there's tons of great stuff to blog about, I drop the ball and don't blog!!! Perhaps it's lack of time!!! Anyway, I'll catch you up on what you missed with a photo essay. Our Jelly Bean becomes St. JellyBean every Christmas. He grows out his beard and has his whole head dyed white. He has an awesome "suit." Not many folks get a private photo shoot with Santa in their living room! (This pic was only after phase one of beard-dying.) My nephew brought his fiance "home" to meet us all. She's a tiny little cute thing and we so enjoyed being with her! Fiance had never been to a Winn Dixie but loves the book "Because of Winn Dixie." So at 9:00 one night, guess where we took the poor little deprived child! Fiance is an avid basketball player. Had the nerve to do what no girl has every done....challenged the Hero to a little one-on-one. She let him win... These two cousins adore each other. They are two of the sweetest, mil...
