Photos I missed!

Sweet Dokota with his constant floppy lip.  
Ava was so sick when we went to go pick up the Teens and Oregon Mustang horses.  She was such a trooper through and came with us on the 3-hour one way drive to pick them up! 
This orange feral cat (see the clipped ear) just showed up at our house one day and would not leave!  He was so sweet!  We tried to keep him, but unfortunately, he liked to cause fights with the other cats.  We re-homed him and guess what?  The cat came back!  He found his way back home to us.  Sadly, we still could not keep him as he would try to attack our cats almost daily.  We ended up re-homing him about 30 miles from our house. 
Mr. Grumpy, aka Pippi.  We did love him to pieces. We will always miss him! 
Photographers of Prom night.  I still can't find the photos! 
Baby Paisley! And me. :-)
We sold Simone to a sweet 12 year old girl in Oregon.  Simone is a great horse that taught Lucy so much!  Simone is now teaching another kiddo how to navigate the show world. 
The Sister's OHSET team and coaches! 
We made sweet potato gnocchi!  So good!  
A mountain lake somewhere in Oregon.  I can tell you that Oregon does not have a lack of beautiful natural lakes! 

Maddie rescued a very sweet bay roan mare and her baby from the Warm Springs reservation.  The goal was not to keep them, just save them and rehome them.  That goal was achieved!  Mare and baby found a new home... and Mom was pregnant and just foaled out another filly! 
Annie got a pre labor haircut.  I'm not so sure she likes her new style! However, this cut will be much easier to maintain once she has puppies! 
Rodeo time! We absolutely love out Sisters Rodeo! 

Last day of High School... ever!!!! 
Sisters rodeo parade! 


Hahahaha... Harper.... 
Another mountain lake!  

I'm pretty sure this was a qualifying bull event at the Sisters rodeo grounds.  Love out small town! 



Tumalo Bits and Boots 4h club! 
Harper came up to the house looking like this one day.  She was miserable.  We have NO idea what she got in to, but we are guessing that she may have found some ground bees, a spider, or a scorpion?!?!   We treated her and she made a full recovery! 
We also sold Kenny, our 2 year old horse we bought as a baby.  With Lucy going graduating high school and also going off to beauty college, it was time to find Mr. Ken Dog a new home.  
Sweet Hank, Dakota, and Kenny!  
A quick trip to Newport!  Actually, we were looking at a truck that we didn't end up buying. 
Barn apartment remodel!  
Beautiful Smith Rock and a pumpkin patch. :-) 
My baby that I hope to have one day.  This is baby TK just hanging out at the BLM facility. No, I don't have him.  It's a long story that I hope to post about once I get him!  
Did I mention that I joined the Sheriff Posse?! See if you can spot me.  Arrrrr
Happy 22nd Anniversary to us!  
A fun day with horses! 
Chris bought me these earrings over 22 years ago.  I have literally worn them every day for the last 22 years.  One day in November I realized that I lost one of them.  My heart broke.  I now have a new pair that is identical to these earrings, but it's just not the same. :-(
Meet Bubbles and Keith!  New additions to Lucy and Ava's new apartment! 

Making gingerbread houses with Lucy and Ava!  This was far more difficult that it looked! Ha!  


Merry Christmas!  
Watching Maddie try on wedding dresses!  
Chris needed a ladder for something and carried around a little extra! I remember it being funnier when I took the photo, but I really don't remember why! 
We have a barn light!  :-)

Not too bad for 44.  :-)  

The girls made me the BEST cake I think I've ever had the pleasure of eating.  It was a coconut cake with raspberry filling.  Oh my gosh... A delight for the taste buds for sure!  SO GOOD!
