What the ???

Bailey loves her new home. I came home Friday night and this is what I saw peeking out of the barn. She found her feed! Saturday morning I get up and head to the mall. When I get home I found this...
A round pen in our front yard. Well... no way! I was just as upset as our high class neighbor! Manly Man said that Neighbor came out peeked through the bushes, pressed his lips together, shook his head. That's almost worth me allowing it to stay. But... I do care a little about our image. Don't want to look too redneck in this high flutin' neighborhood. So, after a few choice words, Manly Man and Counrty Girl went to work takin' it down, movin' it to the back of the property. I refused to help! Just gripped while I watched them work. Isn't that the woman's job - nagging.

Keep going, only 13 more panels to go!
Bailey comes checkin' it out.
Country Girl poops out! So... I know I said that I wasn't helping, but, baby girl gets too tired.
So, here I go. Things would have been o.k. if Country Girl hadn't said, "Daddy, why does the gate open the wrong way?" What the **** You've got to be kidding me. We put the dang thing up backwards! Eeeeeeewwww, I was not happy.
Manly Man squats and surveys the problem. "Well, no big deal" he says, "We just have to take it down, again, and put it back up." Ooohhhh, Manly Man owes me BIG!
Sunday - it's built and Country Girl rides again.

We even get Brother on Bailey. Maybe all the work was worth it.
This is now where you will find Manly Man every weekend.

Wake Up Bailey

I think we bought the sweetest horse and quiet possibly the sleepiest! In all our pictures, she has her eyes closed!
I think she is playing possum so that we will not ride her!
Country Girl is still trying to name her. Her registered name is Marilyn Chex. Marilyn? Who would name a horse Marilyn! Lacy likes Platinum. But we have all been calling her Bailey. Any ideas? I am going to google girl horse names.
Blondie? Goldie Locks? Nothing seems to fit. She's still sleepin'!

Band Concert

Country Girl made Honor Band this year. She's the only girl saxophonist! They had their first band concert last night. They sounded great. We were so impressed.


They were dressed so sharp. Tuxedo shirts, black slacks, vests and bowties. This is country girl with a neighbor friend who is also in Honor band. They looked so cute and sounded great for a 7th and 8th grade band.

Welcome Home

Meet our newest member to the Breckenridge Bunch - Bailey. She is a registered Palomino reining horse. She can lead change, side pass, spin, run to a stop... and on top of that, she's a beauty! Country Girl will be taking her each week to reining lessons to get her ready for her first show.

Happy Halloween

Here are a few picts of our Halloween with our Hood. We had a blast.
A few of the men getting the trailor ready. Can't you tell they're working real hard!

A trailor full of goblins and princesses. I don't believe we could have fit one more on!

I think I counted at one time 35 bodies in the truck and trailor!

And here's Manly Man driving like a maniac! Kids were screaming for their lives, or maybe it was all the mommies screaming for their babies to hold on! We need a new designated driver next year!
