Ok i know it's been way too long! The problem is my life really isn't all that exciting! Well that and i don't have a ton of time. Savannah has slowed our home computer down so much that i don't really even get on it and when i'm at work i'm really not supposed to be blogging!! If you can believe that!So let's see. The holidays were great. We went home to my parents on Mercer Island like we

So it's been a while! Savannah has started Junior High at Canyon View in Orem. She's actually doing really well! Yes, I'm a little surprised. It was a bit of a rocky start with them giving her the wrong schedule and all but it was all smoothed out and she's doing great. Making new friends, a couple that i actually even approve of! She's even getting all A's and i think one C which she is working

Ok so on Wednesday August 6th we, Me & Savannah, Shery & Steve Goodman (the owners of the barn i train at) and their two vaulting daughters, Kailie and Josie headed out in the "Dolphin," a slow traveling motor home, to Salinas California! We traveled at an ungodly speed averaging about 55-65mph taking us an unheard of completely numbing 16 hours to get from Provo to Salinas!! But none of us cared

So Croatia was AMAZING!!! We had so much fun. It was so relaxing & the most perfect vacation. We would sail out in the morning and lounge around until about lunch. Our chef would make us some huge 3-4 course lunch that was always so good. After lunch we'd all go swimming and mess around in the water. The water was like none other. SO CLEAR & clean. Really salty so everyone but my mom and I would

Well for once there seems to be a lot to catch up on. Although i'm not at my computer so i won't be able to add pictures until tonight. First off it's been a bit of a tragic week. On thursday we lost Kramer to a car accident. Kramer is the Cocker Spaniel we've had for nearly 8 years! He got out of our yard and out on the busy street and got hit by a car. It has been a rough few days. He was the

So i took Heather's quiz and here's the skinny...You Are Ariel!Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.Which Disney Princess Are You?Surprise Surprise!!!

So Savannah started vaulting last month. It's like dance & gymnastics on a moving horse. So we signed her up the beginning of May and her class was on Saturdays. The fourth Saturday there just happened to be a show. So she was in two divisions/classes. And in her Freestyle class which was the biggest, 13 kids all of whom have been vaulting for months she took 1st!!! She's so athletic and can do

Well nothing new to report. So what else is there to talk about...HORSES. So here's the latest horse we're selling. Belle.This is me and Belle a couple weeks ago. She's beautiful and she can jump but she's a bit crazy, which makes her a crazy &%#$ LOL!! It sucks because if she'd calm down she'd make us a crap load of money! Oh well. There's always the next one. So i'm currently training this

Well it's over. After all the work we put into it, it went really well. Ok well that's a lie. It started off HORRIBLE.I'll try and make this short...Savannah was supposed to ride Sundance....She is young and hasn't done any horse shows before but i figured if i lunged her until she was on her last leg she'd be ok. Um...I was wrong. After spending all morning clipping, grooming and braiding her i

So Savannah has her first horse show this weekend! She's so excited. I think she'll be in 2 or 3 classes. Just walk/trot, poles, and maybe a game class. It's going to be so awesome to watch her. If you know Savannah she is one of those kids that because she took Karate for a month when she was four she is now and always will be an expert in Karate. Or if you tell her something you inevitably get

So i ended up having surgery about two weeks ago. Had to have a couple screws put into my finger to hold it together. Everything went good and i'm riding again!! Things around the barn have been so busy. Shery & I are trying to get things in order to be able to board more horses and we're also putting on a show on the 26th of this month!! So we're getting an outdoor arena put together which will

So gross, so i deleted the last pics because as Heather pointed out they were definitely way too sexy!! LOL K so here's the story...A lady asked if i would ride her stallion in the stallion alley, basically a showcase of stallions for bidders to bid for a breed with certain stallions. So i went out the previous Wednesday to discuss what i would charge her to ride, which obviously turned out to be

So the other morning Savannah says "oh crap, today is the read-a-thon and i wanted to bring treats, can we stop at bud light?" So i asked her what she just said. She then said "can we quickly stop at bud light?" So at this point i'm totally confused so i start laughing and tell Savannah that bud light is beer. To which she says that's great but it's also a c-store by the school. So after going

So i dropped Savannah off at school this morning for breakfast like always. It was about 7:25am and when i swung around the lot and started leaving a lady came out of no where waving her arms running at me. I rolled down my window and she told me, somewhat out of breath, that there's no school today!!!! LOL i started laughing so hard!!! I look over and Savannah's crutching back towards the car!!!

Well my amazing cousin Heather aka "Hee-th" stopped by last night on her way through town to check out Savannah's knee. Good news, it seems to be ok, at least no ACL injury. So she showed her how to use the crutches to regain strength and some stretches to do and told her in a week or two she should be good as new!!!

So this is Shiloh in August of 2005. I found him for my boss's son who i was training at the time. They bought him in November 2006 and he didn't look quite like this because he had his winter coat and had loss some muscle because he wasn't being used as much. But you get the idea. Here is Shiloh now. Hmmm...anyone see a dramatic difference.  Kind of a long story but the gist is this. The kid was

So yesterday i let Savannah skip school to go snowboarding with Meghan up at Sundance. So before work that morning I made sure she was all bundled and set to go. She looked so cute. She's getting so big. It's a little crazy to be sharing clothes with her!! Anyway, Meghan was supposed to be there to pick her up at 7:30 and i was off to work at 7:15. I called Meghan on the way to the office to let

So not much new to report. Well except for the owner of Sunspring Ranch has made me her barn trainer! Woo Hoo! So i'll be the head trainer!! What this really means is i'll be able to hopefully start making a little more money which only helps my situation right now.One other thing is i'm hoping to get my house refinanced this month which will also save money!! What would it be like not living pay

As all my family and close friends know Savannah was diagnosed High Functioning Autism or PDD-NOS when she was 8. I knew something was wrong when she was 3 but it took 5 years for doctors to actually test her, they were too busy pointing the finger at me because i am a single working mother.Anyway Autism and the many forms of Autism are becoming so prevalent these days and it is scary! What is

I hate my blog! If you haven't noticed i'm very indecisive about it. I just haven't found any background i like and i am in no way creative enough to put one of my own together. I can't even pick the colors i like! Every time i think i have something i like i see someone else's and realize mine looks like i let my nephew designed it! So this is it. THE END, i'm not playing around with it anymore.

Oh my gosh!! Yesterday i found out i was old!! I haven't fallen off a horse in years not to say i never thought it would happen again it's just that i didn't know that when it finally did happen that it would HURT!! I'm so old. I was riding Belle who is a tall pony. So to those of you who aren't familiar with horses she would just look like a small horse to you. Anyway she was a little hot headed

I LOVE to read!!! It's funny because I used to hate to read. Never in high school and certainly never in my spare time. But somewhere along the way someone must have given me a good book that i couldn't put down and now i'm hooked.I always have whichever current book i'm reading with me at all times. In my car, purse, or nightstand. It goes with me everywhere all day long until i'm onto a new one

So we survived another Christmas and New Year! We went home again to Seattle and had a really good time. It was nice and relaxing! I didn't get many pictures because i got a new video camera and was trying to figure that out most of the time. So now i can start posting little videos i guess. Once i figure it out that is.Anyway we just mostly hung out with family at home. I did go out one day

Ok so my work Christmas party is tonight and we are doing, of course, the white elephant exchange. So anyone got any good ideas. The thing is i'm the administrator for a manufacturing company. So the majority of our employees speak Spanish! And i'm also the ONLY female in the entire company!!!Hmm...not sure exactly what everyone would find funny. So far I'm thinking a can of air freshener,

Two-flessa...email me yours and lets see if it gets there by Christmas 2008.Amanda, you too. I'm still waiting for your email address so we can talk.

Man it's freezing here and i am sick of it. Both barns i ride at are like big ponds of mud! They both have indoor arenas which makes it nice but they're not heated. So yesterday i was wearing a fleece vest with a fleece jacket over it and then a down jacket over that. I have a good hat, boots & gloves my mom got me for christmas last year but i'm not sure they go to below 500 degrees!! Needless

Does anyone know how to design your own blog or do you have to use one of their templates? I was just searching through some and some people get really into this. Favorite blog sites and everything! But i saw one that didn't actually limit you to a 2" strip!!! It was more like the whole page! How do you do that?

So those of you who know me well know that i would rather do just about anything myself than have to pay someone to do it for me. That's not to say that if i had the money to pay someone i wouldn't!!! Or that while figuring things out for the first time it doesn't drive me completely insane.
