Happy Halloween!!!

The girls are the only ones that got to go trick-or-treating.  Jordi is the clown in case you can't tell. ;)  Poor Jayden was very sick.

Go BSU!!!

You gotta love the make-up.

Travis, Jordan, Taylor and Camden

Raegan is proud of her candy

Captain Kris.  Who is scard?  Hehehe!!!

Our little "clown" of the family.  Kya had to try on Jordi's wig and nose for her costume.  It was pretty cute!  P.S.  Notice the first missing tooth.

The kids had some serious fun in the pool this year.

Family Life

Jordan was suppose to be watching Raegan...Ya right!

We froze over 100 quarts of corn from our garden and a nearby field this year.  Jayden was in charge of taking the husks to the horses.  

Makya's first day of school.

This year I made a deal with Kris.  He could get a new truck if I could get a chicken coop.  I know it sounds like a funny request, but it worked.  Jayden and Kris working on the chicken coop.

The finished product.

Raegan feeding the chickens.  You gotta love the outfit and shoes.

Raegan loves her Daddy!

Raegan's preferred way of travel.

I was taking pics of this horse we want to sell.  I think the pic of the neighbor boy is hilarious.  He definitely looks unhappy on the very back.

Jordan's new found love is JUMPING! This is Makya's horse Royal. He is absolutely amazing!!! He is our babysitter and our thrill seeker.

Family Ride

Below are pictures that I took when we went on our trip to Joseph and Enterprise, Oregon this year.  We stayed in the cutest little cabin that also boards horses.  It was the perfect get away.  We went to a competition for the kids on the way up.  They all competed and placed.  Jordan took 1st, Jayd took 2nd and Kya took 8th.  There was alot of kids competing against all of them.  The class was 12 and under so poor Ky had to compete against the big kids.  She did very well though. 

 We spent the next four days riding in some on the most beautiful country God has created.   Makya surprised us so much.  She grew in leaps and bounds in confidence and her riding ability this trip.  Jordan and Jayden jumped every log in sight.  What wonderful memories we have been able to build together!

Wallowa Valley

This was Makya's first time going through a creek.  She was really concentrating.

Follow the leader.

There is a funny story behind this picture.  Kya had gotten off her horse to go to potty and when she came back and held him he kept knocking her hat off.  She would put it back on her head and he would knock it off again.  Finally she held it in her hand and looked at him very unhappy.  Click on this pic to get the full effect of her expression.

Daddy and Kya

Jordan spent more time jumping logs than anything.  At lunch we would have to find a pile of logs to picnic by so they could practice jumping. It was alot of fun!

I think this is my favorite pic we got.  I want to blow it up for our wall.

Horse Competitions 09

This is the belt buckle Jordan won this year.  To get it you have to place 1st.  GREAT JOB JORDI!!!  Her and Jayden competed against each other.  There were about 15 kids in the class and Jayd placed 2nd.  I am such a proud mama.

Makya on her horse (which she stole from Jayden).

She is SOOOOO stinkin cute!!!  She was so excited to compete.  She told Jayden, "I'm gonna beat you on your own horse and then say, BOOYA!!!"

Jayden is always smiling when he is riding.

Jordan spinning Uno.  Check out her lips kissin to him...."faster, faster!!!"

This is a picture of the second show Jordan and Jayden competed in, but Kya's first.

Our nephew Camden petting Jordan's horse.  Isn't he so cute!

This is a picture of Jayden at his first show.  He did SO good.  He placed first.  They even put a picture of him on the reining website for this area to promote kids reining. Check it out.  http://www.snaffle-bit.com/Photo_Gallery.php

This is a picture of Jordan at her first reining show.  She did well for her first time.  She has a slight disadvantage because she is up against kids who have been doing this for a while.  She took 2nd in this show.  We were very pleased.
