Plain, ordinary quarter horse...

Tada! Super-Quinn! Lol!

Ok, whatever...Aimee felt the need to buy this hood

thing for Quinn and I thought it appropriate to make

fun :p

The Food Network Has Taken Over My Home!

Fine...I guess I can't really complain...Aimee and Curt

LOVE to watch the food network. The result has been

that I seldom have to cook! Aside from too much cinnamon

on chicken and too much cayenne, they are definitely

improving their skill!

They recently went on a hunt for a pasta maker.

When we went to Albertville they were all sold out

and ironically, Curt found one right in town!

Making ravioli. It turned out pretty good, I must say,

especially considering I am not a pasta lover.

I forgot to take 'after' pics, sorry

Christmas 2010!

Ok...I'm a few months behind with my blogging, I admit it! (Partly because I've been busy, partly because Curt's new camera takes FOREVER to upload pics) We had a great Xmas this year because a) the first year I didn't have to work shift work and b) our house was liveable!

Our kids got spoiled rotten of course

Aimee loves her art supplies!

Peyton

Charlie

Lucy and Sabrina -- both so stinkin' cute!

Little baby Owen

Chloe hanging out with Grandpa

Last but not least...moi! (How can you tell Curt was behind the camera this year?)

Nothing in particular to say about this photo, except

that I realized at last night's supper just how big Ruby

has gotten!

Creekside Extravaganza 2010!

Aimee worked very hard this summer, organizing

her first horse show, which was held at our farm on

August 14.

There was a pretty good turnout, with about a

dozen participants, mostly from the Wpg area.

Peyton even entered in a few events with Skippy.

Here they are at the mail box.

We were lucky and had great weather that day.

Unfortunately for Aimee, Quinn stepped on a screw

that morning and couldn't be ridden in the show as

she had hoped. But she had Babe as her back up

and it worked out well.

Hell Has Frozen Over and Pigs Can Fly!!

Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration...however,

this is what I observed this morning, to my utter

shock. We had not asked Aimee to help get Peyton

dressed before school nor did we hear any screaming

about tangles and hair pulling. Wow. Truly Amazing.

Practicing Her Camera Faces

This is the kid that announced to Curt, "Hey Dad,

have you ever heard of Herbal Magic? You should

try it. You get a dollar for every pound you lose. Maybe

then you'd have enough to buy a new truck!" I don't

think Aimee and I have laughed that hard in a long time!
