1st week of the New Year

Its been pretty uneventful around here so far,  guys went to ride dirt bikes, going to try to find sometime to ride Trouble today.

I did sign up for the the  "The Great Trailrider's Distance Derby" I’m really looking forward to get started on that, I’m thinking its what I need to get my tail in gear.  Have been looking for a GPS that is technotard proof  and learn about my tracks and stuff.  Thankfully I have a 14 y old LOL

I did get some pictures this week, so I am keeping that goal just none of them I think are interesting enough to post.  and I need to get them off of my phone and camera.

Got to go out and take my FIL out to lunch tomorrow for his birthday, Why do people always pick the most expensive place to eat…. I mean the cheapest thing is a baked potato at $5 Hello I can buy 5lbs of potatoes for $5…. Don’t mean to come across as cheap, but we are trying to save for a new house with property, and it seems like for the last 10-12 weeks we have been having to go to eat out at a minimum of $60 a dinner … it adds up quick… Yes, I am a numbers nerd, and are following  Dave Ramsey  hope to be debt free by the  end of the year.. But It will be worth it to spend some time with my FIL he’s a really great guy.

well, I better get busy on this house and get some stuff done around here, because we are still running around like a chicken with our heads off, with everything we got going on….

2012 is Here

Yay!!!! Hope everyone had a Happy and Safe New Years Eve.  We spent our time at a barrel race watching my niece and my sister in law riding.  It was great fun  I haven’t been at that arena well over a year. 

I really need to find my big girl panties and go ride  

decided I’m not going to set any resolutions this year, but I am going to set some goals and try to achieve some dreams.   I hope everyone one else does too.

here a few of mine

1. Try to spend more quality time with my kids & family

2. Take a picture everyday for the entire year, just what ever floats my fancy

3. start riding and barrel racing  again and pray to the Good Lord above I don’t totally embarrass myself and I can at least run an 18 sec pattern that is going to take a lot see below

4. Get back in shape, so desperately need to get back in shape LOL, it is totally scary in that department over here

5. Get TPWB back on the track and having fun on his bike

There are lots other but going to try to concentrate on just a few at a time… oh got to get this house cleaned out and organized it amazes me at how much stuff we have accumulated  crazy I tell you crazy.

2011

I can’t believe that 2011 is almost over with, it just really flew by, with a quickness.
I’m really thankful for such a wonder year.
just a few
this is the infamous REID she is the most awesome dog ever, and oh my she has so much to say!!! I think she thinks she human.
my son TPWB please excuse the helmet hair, so thankful God Blessed me with both of my kids.
Crush the new Barn cat, He has done an awesome job taking Suzuki’s place, but I still have a hole in my heart for Suzuki, I promise she was the best barn cat ever!!!

and of course the girls.  Trouble just impresses me everyday… there for a little bit I thought she just flat out didn’t like me but we seem to be progressing
Happy New Years everyone  & be safe

TPWB is Back

Well TPWB is back!!  We actually took a break from dirt-bike racing this past summer and fall. 

I think TPWB needed the break, I know his Dad and I did.

But he is back, he had to move up in bike size, we still have to get it set up shock wise for him, because he so light weight, reminds of a bobble head on the track.

Took him to practice, only the 2nd time on this bike,  the 1st time him and his Dad went, TPWB came thru the back and informed me that not horses can throw their riders, dirt bikes can too.  Dad was trying to show him something on his bike and apparently the bike threw him.  But all is well, except a few sore muscles.  But so glad to see my son back doing something he loves.

new bronc halter

Just wanted to share a pic of the new bronc halter my Brother & Sister law gave me for Christmas.  I just absolutely love it!  He is so talented, I just wished I could make stuff as nice as his.

I'm so lucky

Today is hubby's birthday, and I'm so lucky, its hard to believe that we are in our mid 40's Oh my where did the time go?  I used to think that 40 was old, not now heck no!!!!!

But so lucky I found him or he found me or that we found each other, it doesn't matter, just that we are together
Happy Birthday

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!! I hope Santa got everyone what they wanted.  I know I sure did, Hubby and I had such a good time with the kids this morning and I will never forget Bug walking out of her room, with her eyes so wide in amazement that Santa really did come see her.
And my Paisley Bell boots, Oh my I just love them all the color combinations I'll be able to do, just endless possibilities, love it!!!! 

And the Custom made Bronc halter from My brother and sister in law, he does such awesome work! will have to get a pic up of soon,  Hubby made me promise to use this one, it really is way to pretty to use.
Again Merry Christmas!!!!!!
