weekend shenanigans...

happy Tuesday!!!

first off I feel the need to apologize to my followers because I haven't posted since the day we got to St. Louis from my phone! I have been so incredibly sick the entire time I was gone and it only got worse. yesterday I spent the day running around trying to get from doctor to doctor & I still don't feel great! so I apologize for the lack of posts last week! but other than that I have some awesome photos & a rundown of how the show went :)

timmy is hanging out in the barn before his ride with my mom.

here he is with his third place ribbon from his championship class. we were very proud of him.

alexa & cody won their equitation class which is a big deal!!! this means that she is going to nationals in Chicago in August of 2014. we are very very excited about this since this was her goal for this year!

timmy loves his treats!

cody says who me? waiting on alexa before his ride.

alexa & cody also ended up fifth in their training level championship class which was very exciting for her!! not bad for a twenty three year old quarter horse!

ribbons from the weekend!

despite being sick it was a very good weekend. I am just hoping my meds kick in soon so I start to feel better :)

five on friday.

well. we made it to st louis in one piece which is why I haven't posted but here we go!

1. in st louis for championships & we are having a great time. 

alexa and Cody here with the pumpkins. 

Reagan and I in the indoor arena. 

Ella pretending she's riding Reagan. 

2. I am extremely sick. that is the downside to this trip right now. I was okay Wednesday on the drive down and it went downhill from there. 

3. fall is wonderful. it's beautiful here. great weather and wonderful fall decorations. 

4. my mom has a championship class this morning around 10:30 so wish us luck! 

5. alexa turns 14 today so we are having a little barn party and going to outback for dinner. it should be a wonderful day!! 

have a wonderful weekend. I will have more photos to share! 

weekend shenanigans...

oh this weekend!!
I wouldn't say it was the most fun, but we made it kind of fun!
I went to go see runner runner. it was quite good & Justin Timberlake did a good job in the movie.
Saturday & Sunday were full of running around before leaving this week.
I went with my mom to ride Saturday morning before going to the tack shop to get some last minute things before we leave. we got a bunch done around the house before Alexa got there that afternoon. she had a fantastic lesson on her Cody boy & we came home & cooked dinner.
Sunday morning I went & helped Alexa with Cody. we came home & met up with my best friend Jess for lunch at that same Mexican restaurant! by the time I come home on Sunday, Jess will have moved & started her new adventure at Disney World so we needed to meet up because she is not sure when she can come home to visit for a while. After that Alexa & I spent the day running around & getting things done before we leave, since I am at work Monday & Tuesday this week & we leave early Wednesday morning! we had a great time & then it started to rain & storm pretty bad, luckily we got everything done!

now I have to get things packed because doesn't everyone wait until the last minute?

five on friday!

happy friday everyone!!!

I hope it's a good one!

here is my five on friday!

1.  going to see runner runner.
 

2. meeting up with one of my sponsors tomorrow to look at some new browbands for my horses & belts that she is making! 

     

3. tack shop date with my mom tomorrow afternoon! picking up all of those last minute things we need before leaving for St. Louis early Wednesday morning for championships!

4. teaching miss alexa this weekend to get her ready to go for our trip to championships next week! very excited for her.

5. packing. yes. this is the worst part of getting ready to leave!

I am really getting excited for my trip next week & hopefully we will be bringing home some championship ribbons!
