Welcome Baby JACK!

Baby Jack has arrived, I know that we are late getting this on our blog, but just found the time now. Here are a few photos of Jack. We are so thrilled for the safe arrival of Jack, the girls just can't get enough of him, nor can Troy and I. He has been such a great baby, he is very content and loves to look around at everyone.

9 Months and Counting...

This one is for you Meghan, here I am! I am counting down the days, I have just under 2 weeks to go. I am trying to do whatever I can to bring it on, but nothing is working. The baby will probably want to come when Chelseas Horse show is on...We rented an RV to camp out with the horses. Fun eh? Troy and I are now saying, "What were we thinking?" He said that he will bring the necessary supplies and hopefully we will make it to the hospital in time. We will just have to wait and see.... until then I will be keeping you all posted.

Yippee Yay Yeh! It's Stampede!!!

The girls all had a wonderful day again at the Stampede! They did some rides ate those mini donuts and corn dogs. We met up with Troy after the cattle shows and went out for dinner. Stampede is over now until next year! The girls have all gotten to know the Queen and Princesses. The Princess on the right is April, she is riding the touchdown horse for me until we have the baby! The girls just love her! As you can tell...

Meeting Charmayne James

Charmayne James with the Girls

What an awesome day for Chelsea, Rachel and Taylor. They were fortunate enough to meet and get an autograph from the Worlds Best Barrel Racer, Charmayne James. Chelsea had brought her "Scamper" (it is a Breyer horse) for Charmayne to autograph. Scamper is her horse that took her to many NFR's and made her the World Champion. They were all thrilled to meet her, what a day they had!

The girls riding in their 1st Parade

This was the girls first parade! They were very excited to particiapate. Chelsea was riding with her 4H club on Bubba and Rachel and Taylor were driving Gleam just in front of the club. They were having a blast throwing candy to all that were watching. It was a gorgeous day too!

They are looking forward to their next parade!

Reggies 1st Swim in the Creek

Here is Reggie and his very first swim, Troy helped him out at first. Now he just loves going into the water.
The girls are having so much fun with him, he really has been a great puppy for us. He is quite the character.

Who's That!!!!

This is my steer called Buttercup and I am showing him in 4-H next year and I Can't wait ! when Buttercup was a baby he was a caramel colour and now he is the colour SILVER. If anyone can find a name for buttercup put it in the comments. Buttercup is a very quiet steer when you tie him up. I think he'll be an Awesome steer for some steer shows like Claresholm, sweet heart classic show, 4-H and lots of other cattle shows. He will grow to be about just as tall as me. He is an EXCELLENT STEER!!!

Love Chelsea

Our big catch of the day

This is the end of our fishing day, Bob is in my right hand and Sucker is in my left hand. I have

caught these fish to eat and they were really tasty. This was an awesome day of fishing, I can't wait till daddy and I go again!

Love Rachel

Taylor and Docs Black Spanish

This is my new horse Doc. He is 9 years old and he is very kind. I ride him all the time and he is always in my heart. He is very tall. He has a star on his head and he is very smart. He stops when he is told. He knows better not to buck people off. I will be sending more recent photos of him soon...
Love Taylor

The Girls Gone Fishing with daddy

We went fishing on a boat at the far side of Lake Minewanka and we all learned how to fish. Daddy and Rachel caught one humungous fish that we ate for dinner the next day. The fisherman who taught us what to do he caught a small fish that we also ate for dinner. After fishing in the lake we went to a really nice restaurant in Banff and then we went to the candy store.

Chelsea and Bubba at 4H on Parade

I got two ribbons at 4-H on parade at Stampede park. I had so much fun with Bubba, I can't wait till we go to Regionals at the end of July in Olds. We are competing in 11 events. Should be lots of fun. Mommy and Daddy are renting a motor home and we will be camping with all of the other competitors and their horses. I will be sure to let you all know how we did.

New photo of our latest family addition...

Here is Reggie, he is 10 weeks old and is a black lab. He has been getting into mischief lately, but he is way to cute to be mad at.

Hey, please be patient, we will be up and running soon!
