Yes, We are alive!

Hello all, sorry it's been a while. We have been real busy getting back to life after summer vacation and back to school. Monday's were nightmare day's for me but Now that Allie doesn't have to go to cheer practice after Ashley's riding class we have found some free time Monday nights. Tuesday had become our day of rest before Wednesday nights at Awana, Thursday's and Saturday's will be devoted to Allie for Chargers football games. This week however Allie has a Jamboree to attend Thursday and then the first Chargers game will be on Friday.

So what have we been doing????? Since my last post. Tommy and I had a great but scary anniversary. The great part was getting to spend some alone time together. We took a very long drive out to see some waterfalls...Beautiful. The scary part was the fact that NO ONE was around and you had to hike up steep hills to get to them. We are talking hold on to the roots of the trees to pull yourself up and pray they don't break. Also the fact that no one else was there, all I could picture was a bear having us for dinner and no one knowing where we were. I also have developed a fear of heights. So trying to come back down from the hills didn't set to well with me. On top of that Tommy told me to wear tennis shoes. Now I don't know about everyone else but I have "tennis shoes" for different occasions. Walking , Athletic, Hiking, and my good everyday just for style NO traction shoes. Since I had NO clue what we were doing of course I picked my GOOD ones. Needless to say they aren't my good ones anymore. Tommy also had this wonderful surprise for me. He went out shopping to make Chocolate covered Strawberries (MY FAVE) just for me. Bless his little heart, I will just say this. Never use Frozen Strawberries. Tommy got a A+++ just for effort though!

We have stayed busy with school stuff too. Lot's of homework!

Tommy cut down our Apple trees. They were really making a mess and the bee's and other insects were loving them. So bye bye Apple Trees.

Tommy and I also got to go to the race this weekend. We didn't think we would get to go but last minute Tommy won tickets at work, Yippee! We had a great time there, as always. We went with Duffer and Nicole. They had other tickets so we didn't get to set with them. Check out Nicole's blog for pictures.

Ashley is loving her riding class. Monday, Tommy finally got to attend. He got a show. Ashley even got to jump for the first time to I was happy that Tommy got to see that too. I however thought I was gonna pass out because last week she almost fell of when her horse tripped, so when her teacher said "let's do the Cross bar", I thought "Is she CRAZY" it was only Ashley's 4th lesson. Well she did it though with her teachers help. Her horse must have sensed my fear because unless Ashley's teacher was right next to her her horse would trot right up until he got to the bar then he would slowly step over it. GOOD Horse. He may have also been a little camera shy because I was standing there trying to get a picture. Oh well maybe next time.



Well that's all here. I posted a Slide Show from Bristol and Ashley's last class for you to enjoy.
