Roxy and Willow at the new farm.

China relaxing in the sun. This is only the 2nd time I've been able to walk up to her laying down. It's a trust thing and big horses don't lay down as much as the little ones do.

China, Roxy, and Willow.

Saturday at the new barn/farm, shortly after move in time.

New farm. The girls seem to handle the move pretty well.

Rylee and Cale last weekend. We had Rylee part of the day on Sunday. Took the kids to the bike path and rode bikes and played with bubbles. Then shopping and lunch.

Rylee and Cale racing their bikes.

Race car game - we played twice. He did pretty good!

There's a small play zone with a slide and tunnel.

Slide again.

Air hockey - The only game that lasts longer than 30 seconds! Ok, well maybe there was 2 games but this one lasted pretty long!

Jon and Cale playing a game. Had to hit a button to make balls fly into the frog's mouth.

Cale has been acting slightly naughty at school lately. He has been spitting/blowing raspberries when he's told to do something. He's been not listening when they tell him to pick up toys. He's been pushing/hitting other kids. We took toys away and took school away and it didn't help. So we decided to try positive rewards. If he's good at school, he'd get his choice of toys back. Then, if he was good all week, Chuck E Cheese and a Janesville Jets Hockey game. He was good all last week! This week, 1 bad day, so far.....

Last weekend - just laying around

China, Roxy, Willow, and Tessa after playing in the snow.

The horses playing in the fresh snow (which is now all gone).

Snow on the trees in our driveway Friday night.

Kobe after another bath. He's shedding so bad right now!! Broke down and got a Furminator brush. It works great!

Updates

I took China and Willow to the vet on Monday for vaccinations. Both did great!! My large animal vet really likes Willow. He says the same things about her as he does about China - quiet and kind eye. Very nice to hear!

Back at the barn. I was trying to get side by side pictures to show how big Willow is getting, compared to China. Didn't work out the way I wanted.

Cale tonight after a long day. He really needs his hair cut! Soon! Hoping tomorrow or Monday night at the latest. He is getting over an ear infection and cold. We are really tired of having a sick kid. Seems like he's had something all winter.

Kobe in Jade's bed - doesn't matter where we move it, he normally ends up in Jade's bed, instead of his own. But, in the bedroom, he stays in his own bed. I don't get it.

Friday night, Kobe got a foam bath again. He loves it. It's a big massage for him and then he gets to be 'naked' (without harness) for a couple of hours.

Cale swinging at the park a couple of weekends ago. He's learning how to pump the swing with his own legs.

Winter??

Kobe had surgery yesterday to repair his wrist. New ligaments in place and now recovery for 8 weeks or more. The white patch on his hip is shaved and there is a pain patch there for a few days.

He looks sad in this picture but he really was pretty active tonight.

Kobe chewing on his new bone from some friends. It'll keep him busy for awhile. We don't let him chew on it for very long and we are always around.

Cale and me on China last weekend. Cale is in his own little pad called a buddy pad. It has stirups for him and attaches to my saddle. There is padding to hold him in place and a handle for him to grab on to for support.

Little Willow last weekend, as well. She's getting so big! She is already the size of a small horse at 10 months old. She's growing so quickly!! I have to get her a new halter soon.

Sledding with China a couple of weeks ago, when we still had snow.

Jon and Cale in the sled.

Cale in the sled by himself - screaming GO FASTER MOMMA!!!

We went to see Monster Trucks on Friday night with Mike, Rylee, and my dad. The truck pictured above was the first one to go and got stuck. The kids thought it was great. They had to bring the CAT in to bring it down.

Cale and his earmuffs sitting next to Grandpa.

Cale and the E3 Spark Plug Big Foot truck. He's so little compared to the truck!

Cale and Rylee

Saturday morning - Kobe sunning himselft outside. He really likes the snow.

Cale slidding down our front hill.

Sunday - playing in toy bins.

Cale and Kobe - Cale likes to pet Kobe and give him treats.
