Horse'n Around

Clarissa took horse lessons starting at 3 years old or so. She took to it real natural and never was afraid! After we had the two years of bad luck, and the gal (Nicole) got married and had her own family, we have just not found anyone to do lessons for her. Well, my mom found someone (Melissa). She had her first lesson on May 1, 2009. Melissa was really impressed that she knew as much as she did...She is supposed to have her second lesson this Saturday...as long as she is doing better in school! She was really nervous and timid at first but once she was able to ride Buzz with Melissa's daughter Marinne, she was calmed down. She was so excited and talked about it all the way home. I am proud of her and her accomplishments.

It's getting hot in here- so....

Well, the air is on in the house...the pool is ready for swimming...

I will miss the cool weather! BUT, I like the hot weather too! We got our pool done at the end of last summer and we have been just itching to get in and have a full summer of swimming! I got in for the first time today, and man oh man, it felt great! Clarissa has already, you know kids, they will shiver before they will admit that it is too cold to get out. She swam last weekend; I thought that the water was a little too chilly, but not strong willed Clarissa. Now we just have to figure out what to do with the back yard. It is a mess!
