Introducing...

Mickey.
Trying him out - so far, Mom and Dad like him. We'll see if he gets a thumbs up or down from Cody and Carla - our horse mentors. Price is right - age is right (18) attitude is right - he's sweet and friendly. He was VERY willing to step out for Buck, though. I certainly didn't worry that an 18 year old ex-dude horse would be too much horse for Meg, but he's quite a bit more lively than I expected. Fresh off winter pasture, though, so we'll see what time brings. So far, we're pleasantly surpised.

Joe's Birthday, part II

Big surprise for Joe today! Hard to find some dirt to try it out on, though.

Joe's Birthday part one - Ski Hill

The "Sonny Korfanta Fun Race" was on Joe's birthday - we had an awesome day on the hill. Beautiful weather, wonderfully well organized and smooth running race, all kids got a medal - great event. We had a ball.

Super Skiers

Bondo Brrrr

Snatched this pic from Pinedale Online this AM. They grabbed it from one of the webcams - It's -30 here this AM, but chillier in Bondurant. It was a balmy eight above for the kids first day skiing yesterday - sorry I forgot to take pix, it was a great day on the hill.

Christmas Eve

Kids got outfited with lease skis yesterday - had fun wearing the new goggles and helmets sledding today. A whopping 15 above and the kids played outside for two hours.

Buck's Happy Birthday

Was hidden in the interior panels of the cab of the Kenworth he bought a couple of years back. All the bills but one are 1996 - one is '86. Truck is a '94, previous owner bought it in '98. Who knows, but it looks like it's ridden around a while....
Happy Birthday, Buck! Wanna go to Vegas?
