Spring Has Arrived!

It's finally Spring here in the Texas Panhandle. The wind machine got an early start (about Thanksgiving) and has continued to pound us. That coupled with a lack of rain has sure been discouraging. With Spring comes the start of yet another Horse Show and Rodeo season for the girls. This is the third year Morgan and Lauren have participated in the Big 5 Horse Show Association. Landry is finally old enough to participate and is enjoying haltering Lauren's reining and cowhorse mare, tying goats and running barrels and poles. Morgan decided not to rein this year but to focus on her roping. She made her debut two weeks ago and had a nice run and roped her calf fast enough to be third had she not picked up a leg (she is roping against some pretty wolfy boys). Lauren had decided to take over on "Sally" and do reining and working cow horse. She is blessed that her best friend's dad is Andy Adams (World's Greatest Horseman in 2006) and trains horses here for some other friends of ours. Andy has started working with Lauren and after working with him for the first time on a Friday she was 2nd in the working cow horse the next day at her first Big 5 Horse Show.

Donna and the girls are counting days until school is out--only 4 weeks to go. Jess is staying busy with church stuff and chasing after his "Little Women". Morgan and Lauren started a lawn mowing business last year (Little Women Lawn Care" and have already started mowing some of their yards.

We are all looking forward to summer and all God has in store for us as a family!
