Winning Show....

These are the two little girls that Sara trains at our barn - J&B Stables. We recently took them to a show up in Clemson, SC. Sydney (holding the ribbon) won Reserve Champion in her division, which consisted of 6 classes and then Carly went on to place 2nd - 3rd - 4th in each of her classes. This was Sydney's 2nd show and for Carly, it was her first.

They each did an excellent job and came home very happy little girls. We are so proud of the job that Sara has done with the girls.

Sara went on to show the next day, and came home with a bunch of ribbons too! So all in all it was a great weekend!

HAYDEN TURNS 12

Hayden has finally become a pre-teen and finally turned 12 this past Thursday.

He is now taller than me (not too hard to accomplish, as they all are) and acts as though he is 20!

In other good news, he is still playing hockey but for the Bantam team, which is above where he should be, and he also made the Cario Middle School golf team. This means extra running around for both me and Bob, probably mostly me as Bob is in his season right now.

Speaking of which, Bob opened his season with a 14-0 win and then went on to win his second game 4-2! But then he lost his game yesterday 3-0. Let's hope that the girls pick things up a little bit and get back on the win list.

First day of School - August 2009

Okay, here they are....... first day of school 2009.

Bob is getting quite handy with his cell phone, and took this picture after I had gone to work.

I can't believe how quickly they have all grown up.

Sara has gone into High School this year, Nick into 8th grade and Hayden has FINALLY left what I call "baby school" and moved on up the ladder to Middle School.

Let's hope for a great year!!!!
