A lot actually. But, it's all been good :) I'm finding it harder and harder to actually sit down and update my blog lately. The kids are keeping me nice and busy! To pick up where I left off...our anniversary night away was fun! It's been so long since Isaiah and I have gone out/away alone. Usually we are both so busy on the weekends "catching up" on household stuff, it was nice to send the kids off and just enjoy ourselves. Actually, just Hailey went away to my friend, Tina's, house. The twins ended up staying home alone for the night :-o That's the first time we have ever let them do that. We did have our neighbors (who we are very good friends with and whom we go on vacation with every year) keep an eye on the house to make sure no parties were held! All was good, no parties or guests. I was still worried! I ended up getting very sick with the stomach bug while we were away though. It was hard to tell if it was something I ate, or that I had "one too many" beers, or if it was really just a bug. I have come to the conclusion that it was a bug since Isaiah and I ate exactly the same thing (we shared) and that I was feeling so much worse than what too much alcohol would make me feel like. I still had a great time though! I didn't get sick until after we had gone out and were in the hotel room for the night. Hailey was in the Sandwich Fair Horse Show, which was really fun! It was her first show ever and she really did quite well for it being her first one. She was in two classes and took home a 3rd and a 5th (out of 9 kids). She really had a great time and it was such a great confidence booster for her and her riding. She tells me that she wants to show all the time now! Here's my little rider:
Hailey and Lily wasting time before they ride.
Warming up.
Almost ready to ride!!!
Lily and Hailey with their "leaders".
Lined up, waiting to enter the ring.
Hailey, concentrating :)
The ribbons! Hailey's friend, Lily, won Champion!
This is one of my favorite photos from the day :)
And a little video
We are so proud of her! I hope she has many, many more wonderful days with horses like this one!
