One Busy Weekend!!

WALK, TROT AND LOPE

We had one busy weekend. It first started out with Danielle competing in a walk, trot, lope contest at the Texas Tech Equestrian Center. Her cousin Trina had asked Danielle if she would like to ride her horse in a competition since the girl that was suppose to ride was not going to be available. Danielle decided to give it a try. She trained for two days and considering she only trained for two days she did great. At the competition they ride in circles in the areaa and the judges judge on how well the horse obeys its rider. Danielle did great! The horse was doing just fine until it wanted to out run all the other horses during the loping part. If it wouldn't have been for that I think Danielle would have placed higher. Here are a few pictures. Oh, she also lost her hat while loping.

My kiddos and Confirmation.

Jessica flew in on Sat. morning and Janet, Justin and the kids came in Sat. afternoon.

They came to help celebrate Danielle's confirmation at St. Joseph's church in Slaton. It was great having everyone together again. My grandbabies are just a joy to be with. Cole is getting so big and is starting to talk alot. Natalie just smiles and shows off her two little bottom teeth. She's just adorable.

Danielle decided to leave with Janet and Justin. She will be gone all week. So I guess you can say I will have an empty nest for awhile.
