You need to cheer up?

This does it to me every time!

Giddy Up!

Oh, what a blast!!  I used to ride when I was younger. Much younger!  But, getting back on horses was like coming home.  I felt so at peace. It was so fun to see my kids take to them as well.  Julianna was in Hog Heaven being on her horse, Black.  She had a grin from ear to ear.  It made me determined to get her married to a rancher or farmer.  I gave her a nice little pep talk encouraging her to do just that.  Let's see if she listens. 

The Great Utah Outdoors

I decided a month ago that I wanted to have one last hurrah before school started.  We went to Utah to see my sisters.  Lindsay came from NY and since she wanted a fun packed vacay with no traces of NY, we went camping.  Now, I have NEVER camped with my own family.  This was surreal!  We had such a great time! Jodi had friends who had a boat and raft.  We spent the whole day on the water which was so fun!  I have rarely been on a raft.  It was terrifying but exhilarating.  We had so much fun.  I am grateful we have a photographer in our family so we can document all these moments.  Thanks Lindsay!!
