Giddyup Horsie!

Our good friends co-own the cutest little white pony named Comet!  My kids (especially Amara) have been dying to see her!  Amara and Tiernan talk about horses all the time, and every time it's a holiday, Amara asks for a horse.  So our friends let us tag along to one of their daughters riding lessons and watch.  Little did we know that they were going to be able to ride her...

Here are the kids hangin' out on the gate.  Don't they look right at home? I definitely have some rancher blood in me because my mom and most of her ancestors lived on ranches.  I love the atmosphere of livin' off the land, hard work, team work, and taking care of what you have.  I'd be perfectly content listening to a fiddle or guitar and singing the night away like my mom did when she was a child, sharing a one room cottage with her family and grandparents.  What great memories she has and I am so blessed to know about her and her family.  Amara's middle name is Violet, the name of my mothers mother.  My mom say's Amara is just like her in every way.  Maybe that's why she loves horses and animals so much.  Violet's mother also loved animals so much that it is very rare to find a picture that she doesn't have a dog, sheep, horse or rooster with her.

Amara is in heaven!


There she goes!  Have fun Amara!


Tiernan's turn!


Could you just die at how cute Sinjin is in this over sized helmet?


What a cute cowboy!

Thanks Rountrees!  We love you!
