CATCHING UP!!!!

Perry, Jaden, Angela, Travis, Landon and I giving our horses a break on the trail. One of many breaks actually, I think they just wanted to stop and visit. It was GREAT fun thanks for inviting us to go Travis and Angela.
Landon and I on our matching BIG black horses.

Travis and Angela decided to have a bath while on the mountain. They are posing in Colleen's bathtub.

Finally upto date posting! Yesterday Landon and I went on a 6 hour horse ride up Willow Creek with his dad Perry, brother Jaden and our good friends Travis and Angela. It was nice to get away and relax before work begins it was quite enjoyable and plenty hot but GREAT! Here Landon is on Whiskey trying to get himself hurt, no just kidding this is how he always is being silly and showing off .


JaKelle, Jake and Jarrett are trying to find the Beaver that grandpa saw. We were to noisy to find him as soon as we got off the 4-wheeler I'm sure he heard us coming. They thought they would try to find him anyways but no such luck they never got to see him DANG IT!
JaKelle and me on our bright yellow 4-wheeler. JaKelle kept telling me she was big enough to drive but I'm not brave enough for that yet.


Jake, Landon and Jarrett on their 4-wheeler. Can't hardly even tell who those kids are under their helmets.

Perry and MerriLynn on their 4-wheeler posing for the camera.

Again, slow posting but trying to catch up. Last weekend Landon, me, the kids and his parents went up on the mountain for a 4-wheeler ride it was a great day for 4-wheeling not to hot but not to cold either, that is until the sun went down and then it got kind of chilly. Here we are in front of Kens Cabin.

Jake going for a spin around the yard. Not really steady yet and he looks kind of nervous but he is doing great. Since I am so slow at posting he is a PRO at riding his bike now. He can even ride Jarrett's bike, and Jarrett's bike is quite a bit bigger than Jake's so he is doing GREAT!

Jake is getting on his bike all by himself he finally learned to ride his bike with no training wheels Yippee. Good thing for big brother's because Jarrett just decided one day to take of Jake's training wheels and teach him how to ride without. Jarrett and Jake are pretty good friends most of the time so he had alot of patience that day teaching Jake. The kids are always begging me to take them for a bike ride around town and with no training wheels it will be much more enjoyable for them I think.

Jarrett riding Spider bareback with no halter on. What a funny kid if he could spend every minute with this horse he would. I'm just hoping Spider will be alive for a few more years atleast until Jake and JaKelle are well enough riders to ride something else.

As you all probably know Landon is a horseshoer and that is what he does for a side job away from working at the prison. Well, Jarrett comes by it honest here he is 7 years old and learning to shoe is old horse Spider good thing Spider is gentle because the kids just hang out in the coral with him and lift his feet and ride him bareback with no halter on.

Jarrett leading Whiskey around letting her eat all the grass around the trees that the lawn mower cannot get too.
JaKelle is playing with our dog Rugger. Rugger is a 10 month old St. Bernard I know crazy because I don't know how we are ever going to afford to feed a full grown St. Bernard but we will he is the best dog ever. So mellow and he loves the kids. He is our Gaurd Dog.


Jarrett is quite the horseman, this is Landon's 3 year old horse Whiskey that he rides and Jarrett got a wild hair one day. He wanted to show his dad that he could catch Wiskey all by himself so he got the halter and went in and caught her. She is pretty tall so he had throw the halter rope over her neck and had to lead her over to the tire in the coral and climb up on it and put her halter on.
