When Adalynn is Not Outside....

She is scheming ways to get outside. Even trying to trick us into thinking that her baby stroller just may stand up to her whopping 25 plus pounds.

It won't, child. Keep on dreaming...

Kelsers

The more I'm around this horse, the more I like her. Which is good, I suppose, and what we always hope will happen with something that we need to be around a lot. Kels and I took our first ride of the season today.


Here she modeled her tack for everyone: "Today I am wearing a black Proffesional's Choice Air Ride saddle pad covered by an awesome Billy Cook barrel racing saddle with basketweave trim. On my face is a blue nylon one-ear headstall paired with stunning blue contesting reins." Ugh. I wouldn't mind a new headstall, that's for sure!

This picture kinda freaks me out. Looks like she has a saddle horn growing from her head. She doesn't, really, just in case you were wondering.

Ah. That's better.

Kels wanted to show everyone her obvious displeasure of my bit choice for the ride today: a simple, o-ring Snaffle. Which she should love and be thanking her lucky stars for, because the Tom Thumb that she was being ridden in is much harsher.

And eventually she figured this out. And used it to her advantage to not stop until she was conveniently by Patches. Hmmmm. Seriously lazy too, once we had trotted for about 8minutes. Think some spurs may lighten her up next time. Keep her on her feet. Keep me from working so hard.

New Poll

Wow, I'm behind. While Keely may have not been a favorite, seems like it would grow on ya. Much like our kids probably will...snot-nosed and smart-alecks from the start, but they'll grow on ya.
Tessa. I like Tessa. Travis doesn't. I'm going to go recite my prayer...

My Lil Peanut Brittle

gettin' a little more like her mama everyday.

and her daddy. caught her rolling her thumb across her fingers the other day while miscellaneously thinking. a definate masselink trait.

Honey, I love ya, but....

saw this today and had to share:

"Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; and Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll beat him to death. AMEN."
