Horse 4H part 3 :)

Elanor ready for her riding evaluation. Riding Kimber, of course, her favorite! :)

Tallulah watching her awesome big sister riding. She loves to watch her sisters on the horses!

More sand to play with. Hooray! :)

 

Elanor riding. Walking first, then trotting. She did awesome! Though she was sad I didn't get a video of her loping...

 

 Adelle ready for her first riding evaluation! On BT - her favorite!

Adelle walking and then trotting on BT. She did a wonderful job for her first time!

Cowgirl sisters! 

All done riding, waiting for the barbeque and awards to be announced.

Silly girls. :)

 

My portfolio is awesome!

Little ham. :D

So proud of what she's accomplished!

Loving her cowgirl clothes!

And the awards! Sorry about the bad resolution... I need a better camera. :) They both got blue ribbons on their portfolios/riding evaluations. Adelle's first year, Elanor's second. Adelle did General Equitation. Elanor did General Equitation for the 2nd year, and Working Ranch Horse for the first time. I love how super excited Julian is for them!

They've both worked really hard, and done an awesome job. Every year I wonder if the effort and time is worth it, and every year I decide it is. :) They have learned and grown so much. They will both be riding in the county fair horse show/competition on August 2nd, and are SO excited about it! Anyone is welcome to come watch! It's free at the fairgrounds. There's really not a set schedule, just an order of events. Adelle will be riding in 2 events, Elanor in 5 or 6 or 7... Something like that. :)

Washing Kimber!

  

 

Good thing there's lots of sand for little girls to play in! :) 

 

 

 Aren't big brothers wonderful?!? :)

 

Horse 4H

Adelle doing her presentation on Horse Feet. :)

Julian being an awesome big brother, entertaining the baby. They have both been so patient this year, waiting at all the meetings and riding lessons... They're good buddies!

At a field trip with the 4H club, visiting a horse training facility. It was really neat!

Lots of super fun!

Lots of beautiful horses. Holy cow, they can get expensive! I don't remember how much he said this one was worth, but there were several that were $30,000+!

The buddies again! Good thing they like horses, too!

We even got to see a baby horse! SO cute!

April 1

Tallulah found a friend in the mirror this morning!

 Happy siblings! And happy Mommy - we found a trampoline on craigslist. Love craigslist! :D

 Mostly happy siblings - Tallulah's a little concerned, I think...

Super happy/goofy little girl!

Tallulah loves music! Especially playing the piano!

And who doesn't love Grandma's lasagna?!?

She wasn't too sure about swinging at first, but then decided it was fun to say, "Wheeeeee!!!" with Mommy.

 Julian saved up for a year to buy a Lego TIE Fighter! SO super excited the day it came!!!

Now it's put together! He is one happy little man, and I am one proud Mama! It sure is neat to see your kids set a goal and stick to it. :)
