Snow day!!!!!

 We had 5 inches of snow overnight.  It was totally unexpected!  The girls had a snow day at school! We played with horses, watched movies, sat by the fire, made brownies, and had lots of fun!  Yay for snow days!







Good horses and naughty horses!

 Bad boy Truman broke into the feed room.  It appears that he is quite happy with himself.

 Good girl Belle packing Maddie around on her 2nd time under saddle!  She did very, very, very well!
 Ava and Truman are both in a mood!

 Maddie and Lilly did well on our trail ride.
 Belle is an adorable horse.... especially when she behaves herself!
 Good boy Dakota!
This mess was made with love by our very own Lilly.

Ice skating!







A few birthday presents!

 I love this coupon book from Lucy.  I wonder if she really wants me to use every coupon?  That would be a ton of work!

 Chris made me this box to carry wood in from outside to the fireplace.  We painted it together as a family.  How sweet!




Madeline's 1st Equestrian meet of 2018!

 The 1st meet is always the 1st weekend of February.  We got very lucky this year with warm weather! Let's hope that the March meet will be warm as well.

 Maddie used Dakota for team penning.  Dakota really seems to love cows!



 Getting ready for English!
 Lucy and Ava playing around!
 Maddie carried the Ashland High School team flag.  She is the 1st horse in the line up.

 Maddie used Lilly for drill this year.  These 2 have come a very long way together!  Lilly would absolutely not do drill last year!
 In hand obstacle relay! 

Maddie also competed in Western Horsemanship, trail, Reining, Canadian Flags, bi-wrangle, and key hole.  She placed very well in her western pattern and reining pattern and a respectable place in trail!  The team did very well in drill and placed 2nd!

I love skiing!!!
