Pony Day

I had quite a fun time with Esperanza and Brego yesterday! I had planned on riding Esperanza, but she was very tense, so after I saddled her up, we strolled leisurely around the neaighborhood. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. She threw a fit about the saddle, but as soon as I showed her that I wasn't tolerating her kicks, nips, etc., she calmed down--so much that she allowed me to put on her bridle without any fuss!
Sophie and I were bored later in the afternoon and I was thinking about riding horses, when I looked at her and said, "I should put you on a horse." I had meant some other day, but 2 seconds later, she has her shoes on and is jumping up and down in excitement. How could I have said no? We went out; I put a halter on Brego and tossed Sophie up there, telling her to hold on tight to his mane. She loved it! Brego wasn't so enthused--I doubt he even knew there was a human being on his back--but he was great. I led him around a few small circles while she clung to his neck. She looked so cute :) I should've taken a picture. Oh well, we'll just have to do it again.

Puppies!!

Violet had 6 little "shmultzy" puppies on the third! They are sooooo cute!! We named them Puck, Trinity, Hamish, Lily, Giselle, and Alex. It was quite a rocky delivery at first, and Violet had the first 4 at the vet. But, everything turned out fine.

Ice Ice Baby!

Last Saturday was WINTER FORMAL!! Wooooooo!!! It was an absolute blast! I went with Devin Carroll -- he and Adam Williams are superb dancers! I do not have pictures at the moment, but I will soon!

Bravin' the Bronc!

Yes, that is me on top of Etoile! I've been waiting for this for 2 years and 7 months!!! (plus 11 more months if you count the pregnancy) It went alot smoother than i thought! My neighbor came over, gave me a few pointers, and kept her in control. I mounted and dismounted several times, but she didn't seem to care a bit after the first time! We were all very surprised--expecting her to make like her namesake (shooting star)! Haha!! It was a fairly smooth ride, and I can't wait to get back on!!!

Homecoming!!!

saturday was HoMeCoMiNg!!! my date was Colton Pitcher! my mom was out of town that weekend, so i had to do my own hair--but it turned out pretty well, i think =)

for our day activity we went to the zoo! it was a blast! we were gonna run around the lion pen, but they didn't quite look up to playing with us. hahaha! from that day i learned 2 things: ryan lewis can run 14 mph, and rainbow snow-cones are yummy until the flavors get mixed together into gray mush~~bleh!

the dance itself was a blast! dress: Dillard's -- jacket: Target -- shoes: Payless -- Colton carrying me so i wouldn't have to walk in my painful shoes until i could take them off: priceless! I am a horrible dancer, but so was everyone in my group so i didn't feel so bad =D it was so fun jamming out! even slow dances were wild! colton and i started many random games of couples' tag just to confuse everybody and would gallop around the gym until the dense crowds would kill our momentum! fun fun!

snip snip!

sorry i waited sooo long to say anything! hahaha just thought i'd share the fact that for the first time (a couple months ago) i cut my hair short for the first time! i finally got a decent picture so here you are! oh btw after a year and a half i decided to dye my hair a color other than red =P
