Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch

Elizabeth stared horseback riding last month at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. I have to say that this is the best thing that we have ever done! The people are absolutely wonderful and without them Elizabeth would not have the opportunity to ride a horse. Remnant is the only horse has ridden so far, but she just loves him. He was rescued from Hurricane Katrina. Click here to ready his story.

2009 Already?

Okay, I have been a bit slow on the updating of my blog. Well, more like non-existent….oh well. We have had a busy first 4 months of the new year! Rebekah turned 3 and got glasses. Elizabeth lost her 7^th tooth (I think it had a LOT of help), started horseback riding, and is enjoying singing in the Homeschool Choir. Ken and I celebrated our 11^th Anniversary at McMenamins with a wonderful time overnight. It was great to get away, even thought it was not far away.

I have taken TONS of pictures and video of the girls. Now I just have to organize them some how so I can post a few updated ones. You would think I would have had time, because the weather has been so lousy, but not really. There are always things to do and some place to take the kids. One day I will have the time to stay at home and do more updates.

2008

Well, it is New Year's Eve...another year has come and gone. It is hard to believe. Here is a slide show of our 2008 highlights! Let me just say, it was very hard to narrow it down to so few photos :).

Playing Puzzles

Rebekah has found a love for playing puzzles. She can sit and do puzzles for 30-45 minutes at a time. We have been having very cold weather and spending a lot of time inside the house. Yesterday was a whopping 5 degrees outside...brrrrr. Rebekah set herself for a cozy time of working puzzles with her blankie.

Let It Snow :)

We have had such a great, nice warm fall. However, that means no snow. The girls were soooo excited today to get out and play in the 2" of snow that we received over night! I don't know how much Rebekah remembers about snow last year, but we had TONS. She never did play outside too much, it was usually too cold and too deep for her to have much fun. She had a great time outside this morning.

Elizabeth made her first snow angel of the winter! Here is a photo of the process and one of the end result. She was very happy with her angel.
