Winter Trail Ride.

 Sidney asked if she could skip a day of school to join Amy on a road trip.  She was all caught up, so I obliged.  Amy picked Sidney up at 5:45am on a Wednesday morning and drove to Idaho Falls. 

They met up with MacLaine, as Amy was test riding a horse she wanted to buy.  This is Scarface.  

Maclaine loaned them all horses to saddle up, while Amy rode Scarface.  

They took the horses to a scenic trail.

You cannot beat this beauty.  Sidney said it was cold, but stunning.

When they got back to Maclaine's ranch, his wife had sandwiches and hot soup waiting for them.  Amy did end up bringing Scarface home.  I think he is going to be a great horse for her.  They got home around 10pm that evening.  What an adventure.  Sidney is certainly living the good life!

Fluffers and Ponies.

 Some cute pics of our horses.  Love this golden hour picture of Levi.

Pigeon is always so happy to see us pull up.

Sidney and Jayde are trying out a new drill team.  They have been attending Sunday practices and enjoying it.

Sidney snuggling with Pig.

Goofy boy.

Levi was so happy to stretch his legs, once the snow stopped falling.

This is a screen capture from the video below.  

Hallie had asked Sidney to do this tik tok challenge with the boys.  It was so fun to watch.  Make sure you have your sound turned on.

Pigeon looks chill in this one, but Sidney said this was like take number 100.

Bella, always a bundle of energy!

These dogs wrestle so much, my furniture cannot even stay in place.

Do not let this peaceful picture fool you.

Bailey enjoying some one on one time with Kendall.

Dutch and Dance.

Kendall sent me a bunch of Dutch pictures for the blog.  Izzy had her last day at Vista.  

Kendall and her friend wanted to do the Rasputin Just Dance at the culture meeting.  Ethane made her a pinky promise.

Sierra and Kendall have matching Stanley's.  They tied a bow on one to tell the difference.

A new term at Dutch (Kendall energy).

Window pictures.

Making dubs for the group.

Sunrises are beautiful at Dutch too.

Slayer (employee) of the month goes to...Kendall Strong.  Nice work!

The stands most recent culture meeting.

Silly picture, to show the Dutch colors.

We sold the first protein drink in the valley.  Competitive much?

The office skeleton.

When she is not at Dutch, she is dancing.  I still question whether this girl has bones.

She is all ready to compete her solo this year.  It is a stunner!

Random Acts of Kendall and Sidney.

 Kendall got a haircut.  The stylist took off way more than Kendall had anticipated, but after a moment of shock, she has embraced it.

I love it.  She looks so fashionable and edgy.

She can still manage to get it into braids.

The girls went to go see Mean Girls, the new version.  

Just hanging out.  

Shopping together, while I am away on a work trip.  

Sid braving the cold to go snowboarding.

Kendall has not figured out that chaco's and socks do not make for warm, dry feet.  When will this girl learn?

Last year's blog books have arrived.  The girls had a good time looking back.

My room is the place to congregate late at night.  Lots of good times and great conversations happen in this room, as well as some extreme goofiness.  Kendall acting like a frog on my footboard, while Sidney frequently practices her beam routine on the footboard.

It's All About Me.

I decided to check out the indoor shooting range and take some gun safety classes.  It is a very nice place.  I love the crew there.  They are knowledgeable and welcoming.  

Sabrina and I were doing some work at the ranch, when I managed to drop a 400 pound (or at least 200 pound) block of ice on my foot.  I literally thought it might be broken.  I waited 24 hours and deduced it was just incredibly bruised.  Ouch!

Me dancing to the 'old people rock' songs for my daughters.  They just don't make them like they used to!

Kendall's manager, Sierra, and I have a fun time chatting.  This is the same manager that Sid and I thought she had told us to have 'a horrible day' the first time we pulled through.  That funny incident set the stage for some good laughs!
