Jackson Family Expo


Saturday we were a part of the Jackson Family Expo at Westwood Mall. It was a good day to be inside; it was very wet outside. I think there were about 20 booths from various non-profit organizations. We each had a healthy snack to give away and an activity for the kids. Our kids were throwing horseshoes and bean bags; if they got a ringer or hold in one, they got a beanie baby of their choice. Ashley (2) and Matt were our teen helpers and they had just as much fun as the kids.
We had a drawing for kids 8-12 to win a trip to the ranch sometime this summer. The kids were pretty excited about that.

Friday Night Fun


Well, haven't written in a while. Bill has finally healed from his surgery and we are back on track with activities at the ranch.
The last few Fridays we had an opportunity to play with the horses. The kids (and myself included) are enjoying getting back in the saddle. The winter was tough on us wranglers and soon to be wranglers!
Friday, Preston got in the saddle for the first time ever!! How exciting! He had a great time and told Bill he doesn't know why he has been staying in the house all the time! Everyone is looking foward nice weather.
