Is he a Grullo?

So the little Colt-"Spirit" is growing up and looks like maybe he could be a Grullo.. What's a grullo you ask? It is just the rarest color of horse there is..we thought he was going to be a buckskin like his mother --but he is turning a different color..a lighter gray color and that would make him a grullo.. hmmmm..interesting

Skooter and Spirit enjoy a walk through our backyard (Don has got to get those gates on!)
Good thing they were more interested in mowing the lawn instead of eating the tomaters!

New Home for Tucker( Mr. Biscuit) and Smoky

Well, it looks like Tucker and Smoky have been sold to a new owner (Monica) in Salt Lake City
She calls Tucker "Mr. Biscuit" and just loves him. Monica enjoys Smoky too because he is slower and more trustworthy.. and so she decided to buy them both (she actually has a friend who will probably end up buying Smoky) Their new home is a Boarding Stable in the middle of SLC...I call it a horse prison.. but they actually seem to be happy there. They live in a 10 x 10 cement stall and are fed a couple of pats of hay twice a day and lots of treats. Monica rides them four times a week.. and they get washed and brushed and pampered every day. Smoky rode in the Days of 47 Horse parade in Ogden last week.. and did very well.
Good Luck in your new home Smoky and Tucker.. we will miss you ...(except we won't miss Smoky chewing on the fence posts! )

Don is that you barrel racing? LOL

Girls Camp 2008 at Heber Valley Utah

The end of June I was asked to be the Young Women's President in our new ward. Girls Camp was the following week! What a choice opportunity to get to meet the girls and have fun... Our camp was in Heber Valley on top of the most beautiful Mountain that President Hinckley dedicated for the Young Women of the church. It was the most amazing spot and the spirit was so strong there. There are full time couple missionaries who serve their mission at the camp..(wouldn't that be a fun mission?) We stayed in cabins and had running water and real live bathrooms with showers and flushing toilets!.. It was the Hilton Inn of Camping! There was 14 of us in our cabin. We did all kinds of fun crafts, hikes, challenge courses, skits, service projects and canoeing.. We were spoiled because our meals were all cooked by 4 fantastic cooks from the Malad Stake. We had lots of fun and hardly anytime for sleep--as we were up and going from 6 a.m. until midnight every night. (I was glad to get home even though I had a great time!

Happy 75th Birthday Keith!

Keith and Joan back in the day!
Keith, Linda, Jill, Kelly and Dixie
My brother is 75 years old---21 years older than me!! I can't believe he is that old! He looks great and we had a fun party for him since all of Lindas boys were up and visiting! Kelly and Patty and their girls all came and two of Keiths boys, Fred and Jeff and their families were all here, of couse Aunt Jill and my family! It was fun seeing all the cousins we haven't seen in a long time some of them 12 years! What a blast!!!
