Hello 2016!

Hey!!!! I am terribly sorry I haven't posted in forevverrr!! We were really busy with Christmas and now I am busy with school and Storm! So I haven't had a lot of time to be on here. :) I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! I cannot believe it is 2016!!! O_O
Nothing super exciting has been going on here. ;D On the warmer days we played in the woods and climbed trees, which was really fun! We had some snow today and yesterday so we haven't played outside as much.

 Gessa loves riding Storm in the woods! Lyla isn't as eager to ride as Gessa, but lately she has been more brave. ^_^

Lyla calls Storm's hoof prints, Storm tracks. xD ;D She is adorable. We also had lunch in a tree the other day! ;)

Well I think that's all for now, guys! I think my posts may be 90% pictures.... xD

Talk to y'all soon!!



Happy Thanksgiving and Happy December!

Hello! Happy Thanksgiving!! Quite late isn't it? ;) I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner! We sure did! Lots and lots of food!! We are still eating leftovers!! #ilovefood

Yesterday, we celebrated Gessa's 3rd birthday!!

She was extremely adorable! What am I saying, she always is!!! xD :)

I cannot believe it is already DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 weeks until Christmas!!! SHOCKING!!!!! :):) Sunday night, we decorated our house!! That was a lot of fun! ^_^

Well... this is a really short post. xD Oh well! Have a great week!! :)

Hello again!

It has been such a terribly long while since I have last written!! We did end up riding Storm! The day after my last post, actually. xD  It was so much fun to finally ride him!! We also got to ride bareback too. :)

 

Gessa just loves him. ^_^ She is so cute!

 

 

In the interest of countering the focus on death and evil typically celebrated on Halloween, we decided as a church, to worship the Lord instead. So we had church in our barn, it was so wonderful and fun!! We stayed up late the night before with some friends stringing the lights!! :) We also got a lot of hay bales, which Callie made into a nice bed. xD  Unfortunately, I missed the sermon because I was tending to sick children, but I heard it was great. It was on spiritual warfare, which could not be more appropriate for the day at hand. We had chili and s'mores afterwards as well! It was a splendid fellowship with our church body. :) You can check out another post about it on Found Who I Am!

 

 

We were also very excited to hear that Matt Bevin won the election for governor in Kentucky! It has been 40 years since a republican candidate has been elected for governor in Kentucky! We are praising the Lord that a God fearing man has been chosen to lead our state. We went to the victory party for him and we got our picture taken with him! :) You can also read about his victory on Found Who I Am. :)

 

Grace and I attended one of our friend's birthday party on Saturday. It was a 1940s mystery role play party!! :) It was lots of fun! We got to dress up too!! The table was lovely and very well decorated!! :)

 

 

 

So that's pretty much all that has been going on lately. ^_^ I can't believe it's already NOVEMBER?!?!? How crazy is that?!?! Yeah, I'm not ready for winter.... xD

I guess this ends my post! Have a great week guys!! :) Farewell!



Welcome Storm!!!

Hey guys!! I really meant to write and post this sooner..... but I kept forgetting. So I'm doing it now! :)

This past week has been amazing!! On Thursday we picked up our horse!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D I am beyond THRILLED!!!!!!! He is a beautiful, white, quarter horse! He stands 16 hands tall! He's huge! He is very sweet and gentle! He is great around kids too! ATTENTION fellow Lord of the Rings fans!!!! Tell me, does he not look like Shadowfax?!?!?! I think he does! ^_^

So, to me he is Shadowfax.... ^_^  Lucky is happy to have a new buddy. :) The little kids love riding Lucky too! Especially Gessa. ^_^

 

 

Ok, now back to Storm (or should I say Shadowfax;)
We have not ridden him yet. I'm feeling very antsies in my pantsies about riding him. You have no idea. xD ;D He is 17 and has been trained at a Christian youth camp since he was 4. We are going to get a bare back pad because he was always ridden bare back at the camp. :) (Even more like Shadowfax) xD

We braided his mane. I know- we couldn't resist. xD But we took it out right after. xD Isn't it pretty though? ;) This was him and Lucky right after he got there!!

The kitties don't seem to be scared of him at all!! :D That's Eleanor rubbing Storm's hooves. xD

I'm not exactly sure when we can ride him, but I REALLY hope it is soooon!!!!!
Well, I guess that's it. Have a great rest of the week! :)

Encouragement at its best.
