More Horse Fun!

Things have finally calmed down enough for me to blog! Last week was crazier than I thought it would be. I worked several 12 hour days. 12 hour days are not fun spent at a school! My team and I are getting more into a grove, and I think that I will be getting home much earlier! Today I left right at 3:00! It was nice.

I don't think that I mentioned it earlier, but Ashlyn is now in daycare. She is going 3 days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Ashlyn just really needs interaction with other kids her age. I also needed to give my poor mom a break! She was beyond generous to watch Ashlyn full time last year. Now that Ashlyn is older, and MUCH more adventurous, we decided that daycare would be best. We choose a school right down the street from out house. It opened a few months ago and is just beautiful! Her class maxes out at 5 kids so she gets lots of attention. They do sign language, Spanish, colors, etc. When she moves to the 2 and up room they will even potty train her!!!! She is really enjoying school and I think she is benefiting from it already. Today when I picked her up, she saw me and came running. It was too cute!

Our weekend was pretty busy. I now have to get a lot of stuff done on the weekend, that I used to be able to do during the week. Ashlyn had her last horse competition on Saturday. It was a lot of fun as usual, but very HOT! I am kind of sad that it was her last one. She is just too cute to watch! I am posting some more pictures of her competing. I will get some more pics this week to post!


Here is a project that Ashlyn did at daycare the other day. Thought it was cute idea.

She insisted on wearing her cowgirl hat.

I love this one because you can see how excited she gets.

This one is my favorite. Too cute!!!

They were doing special activities for kids that day. They had a bunch of tricycles, so Ashlyn's Grandpa taught her to ride one.

She even found a cute little boy to ride with.

Petting the horse

What a great action shot!

Dad actually got on a horse and went for a ride.

I even rode too! I haven't been on a horse since high school. I forgot how fun it is!

Leading the horse. Seriously, doesn't she just look like a natural?

Lining up for a horse stick race.

Grandpa helping her.

We took a break to go get lunch, and was instantly out!

Love this one!
