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!

MCI Banquet

Aimee and friends before the Xmas

Banquet this evening

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I love this little guy! He is so brave and will do

anything I ask! I did have him in the house before

Curt took this pic, but backed him out in fear that

he may have a horse-sized accident.

All I Want For Christmas... (viewer discretion advised)

Peyton lost 2 teeth in 2 days this week. Thanks to

Cousin Charlie, the tooth fairy apparently pays a lot

more than she did when we were kids! And btw, unlike

her cousin, she thought the blood was pretty cool ;)

MCI Concert

On Thursday we went to Aimee's first Gr. 9 concert

at MCI. She was one of a few students chosen to

exhibit their art work. We were very proud of her!
