Babies On Horses

I had to post these pictures that Danielle sent me.

Oh how I miss these kiddos!

These are from a horse show they participated in over the weekend.

Abi is riding SnowBall.

I'm not sure what she is looking at.

Quite possibly the dirt.

or her knee.

Dani is riding Tater.

They both seem to be posing.

Look at the intensity in Kacey's face.

Apparently, she was upset 

because her horse, Sunny messed up.

I love that Kacey is very competitive.

Elijah looks like he's having a good run on Sassy.

I'm so amazed how the kids are improving.

They impress this MiMi!

I haven't seen them since February!

It's killing me.

But....

they are coming to see me this week

and I can't wait!

* disclaimer: I grabbed the pics off Facebook and I'm not familiar

 with the photographer but they do have their stamp on each shot. 

Sweet Life

Happy Monday everyone!

I recently dropped my camera bag.

My main lens that I always use broke.

Mark & I had no success as we spent hours 

this weekend trying to find a place to fix it.

Finally, as we were turning home,

we saw a pawn shop 

and decided to go ask them if they had any advice.

They actually had a lens that fit my camera.

I have never been in a pawn shop before 

but they have some bargains.

I'm happy that I once again can use my camera.

We then came home and Mark tinkered with my original and he popped it back into place.

Now I have an extra.

All that to say...

if you need a lens,

it may be beneficial to check out your local pawn shop.

Imagine how my heart leaped when the mailman 

handed me a big package this weekend.

Kim sent me a surprise for no reason at all! 

She is the sweetest friend!

 This ornament quickly found a home on my tree.

 Thank you my sweet friend.

Another highlight of my weekend...

Saturday morning,

Danielle texted me this picture.

Eli and Kacey woke up before Mommy & Daddy.

They fixed their own breakfast and were doing their devotions.

That just warms my soul.

She also shared a few from this weeks horse show. 

This one of Abigail watching the Gators.

She is 3!

I love the time they spend at the horse shows.

The kids have so much fun playing.

It's easy to see who is the leader in this group. 

Oh how I adore these girls.

I hope your day is wonderful. 

I am on a mission to buy "the turkey."
