Happy LATE Birthday, Ann Mary!! :)

Well, I took a blogging break and in the process forgot about our niece, Ann Mary's 12th birthday!!! Sorry, sweetie!!


We hope you had a wonderful day and that you are enjoying being 12 YEARS OLD; I cannot believe you were just almost one year old the day we got married. I still remember you sitting in your Daddy's lap in your pretty white dress. :) You were such an adorable baby and you are a gorgeous girl!!

And, congratulations on making the Honor Roll!! Smart girl!! :)

We love you!!!!

Uncle Charlie, Aunt Julie, Claire, Lily & Drew

My little barrel racer...

Claire raced (well, loped, trotted) barrels with her cousin Sarah tonight(This is late Tuesday night and I can't sleep) at my Mom & Dad's roping arena. She did great! She is truly a natural and not afraid at all. Although, Mama is a little bit afraid but I trust Sarah (she's been riding since she was 3 also) and I know first hand that Sarah can handle it. So, GOOD JOB, GIRLS!!!!

When I get a picture of her riding , I will have to post it! I did not bring my camera so I didn't get any this time. :o( I will soon. They ride at least 3 times a week so I will have plenty of chances.

Lily wanted to ride too but she will have to wait awhile until she can ride with me. :o)

Just an update on what my little cowgirls have been up to!!

*Congratulations to our niece Allison on placing 4th out of more than 300 kids at livestock judging camp. And also to Ann Mary for getting to be part of the team and doing so well! GOOD JOB, GIRLS!!!! :o)
