Cale and Percy


Choo choo!!
Cale playing with his trains.

Tessa and China - buddies already

China really likes her new home!

China's new home - l to r - Tara, Jasper, Tessa, China

Andis Clipping demo - they clipped/shaved all this into the side of a horse to demonstrate how to clip a horse.

Sat night jumping event course - couldn't get any action pictures from our seats.


Priefert Percherons - BEAUTIFUL!!

Big Jake - World's Tallest Horse as of Feb 2010 - over 20 hands tall!!




Midwest Horse Fair was great this year! The weather was decent and our rides were good. Tons of shopping and great horses/events to see too! Lots of people I knew showed up this year too, so that made it that much more fun.


Cale is doing well. Pretty sure he's hitting another growth spurt. Thought they were supposed to slow down on the growing by now?? His 2T pants are getting too short already. Geez! Summer is almost here so we'll try to hit some rummage sales for winter items! He still loves his trains!

All about China


Right before moving her - all the gear to keep her clean over night

After - right side


After - left side



The before - dirty but not too bad


This coming weekend is all about me and China! Finally! I look forward to this weekend all year long. Midwest Horse Fair in Madison! China and I volunteer for mounted horse patrol. We keep people from sneaking in without paying and answer questions for 3 hours each day. In return, we get in for free! Tons of shopping and famous horse people and demonstrations! It's a horse girl's dream! All about horses!


I will miss Cale and Jon but it's only for a few days and I'll be home every night.



It was 80 degrees today. Perfect weather to get China cleaned up. Tomorrow is supposed to be 75 with slight chances of rain later in the day, rest of the weekend, 60-65 and sunny. Really can't get too much better than that for mid April!

Hoppy Easter!


Who knew Easter egg hunting was a contact sport?










Running in the field of eggs




On your mark, get set, go!


Cale and mom at home on Easter


Could be weeds, I don't care, they are pretty!







Cale had a good Easter this year. Meaning tons of candy and useless toys! But he loves it all! He even got to participate in his first ever Easter egg hunt. It was him and one other little girl. And a ton of grown ups. Check the pictures out!

Also, the tulips are blooming outside out front window too! I love them and decided to add them as well!
