OHSET 2022!

We had a very fun and successful Ohset season in 2022! This was my 1st year coaching the team, and Maddie's 1st year coaching our drill team.  It was a huge learning curve, but the did had some great placings!  Lucy rode Miss Reba-ba-ba... Ava rode Dakota and Owen.  These horses sure do put up with a lot of shenanigans! 

 

January and February 2022!!

We were feeling sad about our lack of skiing opportunities, so we decided that Mr. D would be a great candidate to fulfill our needs!  He didn't find loping through the snow one bit and the girls all had a blast! 

Our poodles are snow magnets in the winter... mud magnets in spring, and weed magnets in summer! 

Wait, we finally got to go skiing!! YAY!  This was our 1st time at HooDoo and we had a blast! 

These silly girls are "ice skating" on the frozen irrigation pond! 

We decided to add a room above the kitchen.  It only made sense really... Oh course, Mr Pippi is always right where the action is!  Silly boy! 

A beautiful January hike along Wychus creek! 

Oh yes.. I remember that we had to travel to Medford for Ava's orthodontist appointment, and we decided to take Annie with us.  We ALWAYS stop at Phil's frosty, and this time they made Annie a pup cone.  She loved it! 

 

Jalapeno pickled eggs!  A favorite around this house! 

 

Christmas 2021!!

                                                                    Beautiful skies! 

We make cookies for "Santa" every year.  I'm fairly convinved that Snowballs are his favorite. :-)

All the pups wanting a little treat! 

Christmas joy! 

Our favorite barn cat, Zane Gray.  

Chris and I always feed the horses early on Christmas morning.  I do recall that particular morning being quite magical.  The lighting, the connection, the sense of love, peace, and joy. :-)

I seriously love these kiddos.  They are the absolute best!  

Chris surprised me with a cruise to Alaska to celebrate our 20th anniversary!  Unfortunately. this never happened due to COVID... But that's okay, there are many more opportunities to enjoy alone time with my hubby! 

A little and Christmas fun! 

 

The 1st real snow!

 

Finding the perfect Christmas tree 🎄

Now this a full truck! 5 total people and three dogs.  Can't you feel the love? 

Lucy, our driver to the mountains. 

There was no snow this year, but it was still very cold!

We has lots of yummy snacks! Candy, little smokies, and hot chocolate.   It was so windy though that it was actually hard to keep the fire going!

We found a tree! It's perfect and SO beautiful!
