THE RICHARDS!

This week for a couple of days this family that we knew from Utah came! As you can probably tell their names are the Richards the two parents Mark and Emily have to kids named Dax and Taj. When they arrived here we just hung around for a while! Later that day we went to the space museum and of course the best part for Dax and Taj was the fact that you could get into some of the planes so we spent quite a while in that room and then after that we went around and looked at some planes and stuff related to that until Tag sated to get cranky and then the boys stayed behind to go to the store and buy some planes for Dax and Tanner and all of the girls and Taj went home to put Taj down for his nap and also to just hang around. When all of the boys except for Taj came home we swam and went in the hot tub. When my dad and I got out we made chocolate fondue. Its basically melted chocolate and cream. Of course we got angel cake and fruit to go with it! I love fondue so it was very good! The next day we swam a lot more. In fact i think that we swam just about all day! Later that day when everyone was ready for dinner all of the parents went out to dinner while Cicely, kj, and i babysat the other kids and tanner just played with them and kyle was of course just playing video games alone in his room. By the way i am going to put a slide show of the pix that i took that night. When all of the parents got home everyone was tired and ready for bed so we all went to bed. In the morning when everyone was awake we just hung around knowing that they were going to leave the next day. We went in the pool again and then when we got out my dad made fondue except for this time it was a different fondue it is basically just a bunch of different kinds of melted cheese and we got turkey and bread to dip in this fondue and it was good too but not as good as chocolate fondue but you cant blame me! who doesn't love chocolate! The next day we didn't go swimming but we did watch a lot of TV and at about 11:30 we all said our good bye's and they were on their way to their hotel in Las Vegas and the next day they went back to their home in Utah. It was a lot of fun!

FUN DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Saturday there was a temple trip for the young men and young women and so Cicely, Kj, and Kyle went. They left very early so when everyone was ready and Cicely, Kj, and Kyle were gone we all decided that we wanted to go and do some shopping and do something fun. We decided that we wanted to go horse back riding so i brought my boots to change into. When we left we went to a farmers market which is an out door market where people can sell stuff and we realized that there was a chili contest so there was a lot of people there. While we were there we bought some bread,honey,soda's, and a snow cone for Tj. When we left the farmers market we went to this place at colossal cave which is not too far from our house and we went on our 1 hour ride. The horses that we got are the same horses that we had when we rode up in pine top because they share horses and i got gizmo this time and last time i got cat baloo. Last time Tj got a very mean horse named Jake so we told the people that he didn't want Jake so he got frosty but sadly my mom ended up with Jake. My dad got smoky last time and this time he got yet another good horse named mike. We all loved the horses that we rode except for Jake nobody liked Jake. When we left horse back riding lessons we went to the store and bought a lot of stuff that i don't feel like listing. After that we went home and un-loaded the car and then my mom and i left to pick up the other kids from the place that they were supposed to get picked up. After that we watched football and then ate dinner and did some other non-important stuff and then went to bed.

Horse back rididng lessons!

Today i went to horse back riding lessons and i did the usual setting pretty up fro riding but after i was in the rink and i had her warmed up they told me to post(gallop) at first i was scared to do it but after a while of trying to make her do it she did it for a second and it was not bad. When i finally got her to do it for longer than that i was scared that i was going to fall off! When i finally got the hang of it but i still had to hold on to the horn on the saddle it was time to go. I of course was not excited to go but i had fun today! It is a lot different than walking and trotting so i think that i still have to get used to it! I am glad that i started now though! i don't have anymore pictures of lessons but i will be sure to get some more!

Here are some pictures of my riding lessons that i finally found.

Well I was looking through the pictures on our computer and I found some pictures of my lessons. I decided that I would put them on my blog so that the people that go on my blog can see what I do and where I ride. I mostly ride with sister Mayfield but in most of these I am working with brother Mayfield. In the first picture I am riding in the small rink because it is my first lesson. I really love horse back riding lessons but i only have 4 out of 10 left.
