Toilet Papering

Sorry I don't have any photos to share, the camera is out of batteries, but if I find some I will add one. This morning we woke up to TP on the house across the street, the girl is a freshman in high school, and other neighbors were TP'ed on Sunday night. Scott and I were commenting about how pretty it looked, but it's going to rain today, and it will turn into a mess later. Eli piped up and told us "it isn't pretty, it disgusting, why would anyone put toilet paper on trees, it's a mess." Hopefully he will remember this when he is in high school, but I figure that will change in time.

BABY MAX IS HERE

My friends Cindy and Heiko, just had their third child, Maximilian, They already have Michaela, she is the same age as the twins (except 12 days younger), and Anna, she is the same age as Joey (she is 11 days older). Cindy was begging me to have one more baby so she could have another, seems like we have to be pregnant together, but I told her NO WAY!!!! So any way here is baby Max, and he's a big boy 10 lbs 5 oz and 21 3/4 inches. So with out further adieu, here's Max

The Horse Show

Ellie's Horse Show.

A couple weeks ago Ellie had her horse show, she is so proud of how she is doing in therapy. We call riding her therapy so she understand this is to help her, and can be fun. She loves to ride, and she can dance on the horse also, Donna, her therapist, plays songs like the Chicken Dance and YMCA, and a few other fun ones, Ellie will dance to the music and is getting really good at the Chicken Dance.

Here is a lot of the riders. Ellie is in the front row in a red shirt, I know it's hard to see her.

Ellie is on the right getting ready to get on Cash, one of her favorite horses.

Here Ellie is riding on Cash. There is always a leader, who directs the horse what to do, and at least one side walker. The side walker hold onto her, because they don't use a saddle, they sit on a special pad.

Here's Ellie and one of her side walkers, Jenny.

Here's Ellie and Krystal, one of the therapy horses.

The little hand next to her is Joey

This year they offered a sibling ride, and Joey got to ride on Flicka, Eli didn't want to though.

Here's Joey again

This is Jake his is a gorgeous horse. He puts up with a lot, he often carries the riders who need a back rider, someone who sits on the horse with the child and helps them sit up straight. Here Jake is going to have Chloe do the hula hoop on his back. She did a great job.

After the show they offered activities, one was a petting farm,
here is one of the animals

Check out Eli's toss, he is a great athlete.
