My Wonderful Muddy Boys

OK So I've been wanting to post this for awhile so here it is. Robert and I were in the house when Taylor comes running in saying we have a pool now come and see. I never imagined what I would see when I got outside. I couldn't believe the hole the boys had dug. They were so muddy but they were having a blast. I think they played in it for hours I couldn't get them out. When they wanted to come in the house I made them strip down to their underwear. The older boys hated it but the two little ones could care less. My bathroom was such a disaster in the aftermath of all of this. I still have the hole but they haven't filled it back up with water since then. Thank goodness LOL!!! I love my boys they surprise me everyday.

Breaking our first horse together.

We got this horse about three months ago. We got him for free from a Lady who couldn't afford to feed him. His name is Moon Dancer but we just call him moon. He is 5yrs old and has only been halter broke. Robert and I are in the process of breaking our first horse. It has been so fun and interesting. The hardest part has been trying to get a saddle on him.. We think someone tried to saddle him once before cause he is scared to death of the saddle. We put together a shoot and loaded him into it this weekend. We got the saddle on him and let him loose. He bucked , kicked, and ran around but just couldn't shake the saddle. We left the saddle on all night he did so good. So now we can saddle and unsaddle him with out the shoot. We did put him back into he shoot the other night and I climbed in the saddle. It was so much fun and exciting. I was so proud of myself . I cant wait to really ride him on a trail . He is such a good horse and always gives you two eyes, he never turns his butt to you and he loves the kids. His ground work is really sound so all we need to do is finish the saddle work. I never thought I would break my own horse let alone do it with my husband. I Love it cause its our time to be alone and do something together with out the kids.
