how to ride a horse

Alex and Casey take their first riding lesson. Hmmm...something doesn't seem right...

Are these riding or flying lessons??

******************

Ok, this is looking a little more like it.

The girls had a great first lesson and can't wait to try again!

August, the First 10 Days

If August has 31 days, why does it always seem like the shortest month to me?

My big girl is now 12 years old, even though I could only find 7 candles to put on her cake.

The first day of school already? How can summer break be over so soon? Even though Casey vowed not to get up this morning, they were both up and ready for the bus, and even had smiles on their faces.

They know they love school!

And we did finish Alex's room in time for her birthday party. It wasn't easy getting all of that wallpaper down, but she loves her new room. Now on to their bathroom. No more khaki walls!
