Happy 4th of July to y'all!! Hope you had a wonderful day celebrating along with our country, our freedom and independance, and remembering the men who fought to give us that Freedom and Liberty.

My family went to the Independance day parade in Steelville this morning. We had had plans to haul the horses over there to ride with the parade but unfortunatly we discovered that the brake lights konked out on us so we couldn't do that like we had planned. So we just hung out over there all morning, saw a TON of people we knew like i think we saw about EVERYBODY we know! *lol* not really =) It seemed like it though because it seemed every time you would look up it would be like " Oh hi! haven't seen you in a while," or, "Hey! How've ya been?" etc.........it was absoloutly insaine....Anyways.......

After we made it home fro the parade we went over to some friends house who we know from church. They had invited us over for a cook out and fireworks. Their dad also read off the Declaration of Independance and we had a time just to discuss it and think about how things have changed over the years and how some of our freedom is slowly being snatched away from us through some phony government leaders that have come to office, and we also prayed for God to guide our leaders into making wise dissisions for our country. I'm afraid our country needs prayer at this time.

Then after we ate the guys lit off a bunch of firecrackers. It was cool.... =)We were there until like...10 i think. Then we had to drive home it was like over an hour drive home...now i'm so exausted!! *lol*

i better wrap this thing up though now so Adios !!

God Bless AMERICA!!!!!

4-H's fun show was this afternoon (about 1 o'clock). I wasn't sure if we would get to ride or not because it poured the rain all day yesterday and last night and a bit this morning. So,we were undecided as to wether or not it might have been canceled or if we should just go for the heck of it. Well, we went anyways at about 11 this morning and the arena was a little on the muddier side of life*lol* So Nicole (our co-leader) moved us all over to the indoor arena which was rather small so we didn't any barrel racing or poles so that sucked. but it would have been risky to do it in such a small area or in the mud for that matter.
It (the show) was rather uneventful,(i thought it was sorta boring...) everybody was just moping around and being such wet blankets and it was all rather dull. The only action that happened was during western pleasure when my horse Gunner started bucking like really doing the big sha-bang where all 4 went off the ground at once! it was hilarios!!! =) i spun his head around at kicked him up again and he chilled out a bit after he got that outta him. I think we needed that bit of excitment to liven the group!!
The pics from today that i took turned out pretty crappy so i'll skip the bother of uploading them.

Happy Trails!!

Good morning! hope your friday finds ya well and in good spirits=)

my weekend is looking really full so far. Tonight we have a 4-h softball game,it rained all night so we'll have to see if they are still playing or not because if the ball diamond is muddy then they won't have a game. Tomorrow i have a horse show. Not a big one, its just a fun show or playday or whatever you want to call it. Again it might be canceled because of the rain, but i'm really hoping it wont be.

Sunday is my dads birthday so after church we're going to go to Giant city or Little Grand Canyon or somewhere like that to go hiking and walk some trails.

My aunt is here visiting us for the weekend too!! She got here last night for my sisters birthday and is staying through sunday. we've had fun visiting and some playing ball out in the back field. My sister becca and my aunt camped outside in a tent lastnight but i'm afraid they got a little bit wet with all the rain we had*lol* But they said that they had fun anyways=) i better go since i only have time for a quick post so adios!!

Happy Trails!!

Emilee's party went great Saturday, the only thing that went wrong was the weather....rain. It was beautiful all day then suddenly it just started POURING the rain down at about 3:40ish. So we had to grab up everything that was set out on tables in the yard so it wouldn't get soaked. Cameras,plates,napkins,food...yeah...all that had to get hauled back in to the kitchen, but it all worked out just fine. We set up the tables up against a wall in the kitchen and set out the food and sodas on that. When everybody came we just played some card games like moffia and spoons. We did play a some volleyball after the rain quit even though the grass was awful wet. After it got dark Colt and Justin got out their guitars and went outside to the back steps and played some songs.

Some pics from the party.....
