Mustangs

I will be putting up the pics from our Old Fashion Day but I did want to put up the reason for not posting this past weekend.

On Friday, we got a call from a gentleman who is donating a horse to the Renes. He had decided to get them a mustang but he needed someone to go up to Arkansas to pick them up on Saturday. My dad had to go to SanAntonio for work & couldn't go, so I had to learn how to drive the truck w/ horse trailer. I had never had to pull a trailer before but I learned how to pretty fast. Actually, I got the hang of it before I even left town :) Well, it was decided that Daniel would go w/ me & that we would leave Friday evening & stay in a hotel near the Texas/Arkansas border for the night. Well, due to some set backs we left at 8pm & got into the hotel somewhere after 1:30am. For some odd reason I could not get to sleep (hmm, maybe it was that energy drink that I drank to stay awake :) Anyways, we left there about 7ish & were at the auction by 8:30am. I got to help pick out the two mustangs- the gentleman got one for the Renes & one for himself. Driving them back to his place was fun because they are both wild & were fighting back there while I was driving through Dallas/Ft Worth traffic. Fun stuff! :)
Here are some pics that he sent me- the horses cant leave his place for at least a month so I have to be content to just see pics that he sends :)

The Rene's is the dark mare. His is the sorrel gelding.

Here they are enjoying a bite of hay :)

The mare eating.


Isn't she pretty! Yes, she is dirty :)

He sent this pic of a Texas longhorn.

Have no idea why he sent this pic to me but I thought it was a great pic.

Here is his sorrel gelding.

Right now I am looking for some fencing materials to be able to put these guys up down here. If everything works out I get to have two horses around here for a few months. :)

Fun w/ Renes 2

Well, the Renes came back for a short visit this past month.

Here are some pics of our fun times together.

Board games are always a blast- especially when your good friends are over :)

Here is my mom preparing a feast for us all (by the way- it was yummy! ;)

Peter & Hannah playing RISK. They always had a blast playing on a team & wiping out the "bad guys" :P

Hmm, looks like Charity is trying to climb on the table while Peter & Hannah are setting up their game. But in the background you can see Tabby & I playing the piano & organ.



Charity insisted on helping so she was given a lil piece of dough to role.




Here she is again having a blast. She kept sticking her hands in the flour bag until we finally took the bag away, lol.



Well, while they were here my brothers & their friends decided to put together another movie. What made this one so awesome is the Renes can speak Russian so there are authentic Russian speaking parts. My brother isn't quite through editing it but when he finishes it I will try to put it up on here.




Here is a pic of one of my brothers friends named Joshy; he got to be a Russian who just responded w/ "Dah" which is Russian for yes.



Well, since my brothers had their friends over my lil sis Hannah invited her friend over. Here she is w/ Brooke playing "Connect Four."

Brooke's brothers Nathan & Josh- other actors & director of the movie.

My lil bro Daniel. Great pic of him taken before they started taking the movie.

Daniel again but this time w/ his gun. Yes, it is a real gun & yes they used it for the movie. But dont worry it was not loaded & they are very cautious.

Our terrorist, Nathan. Isn't this pic awesome! :)

Daniel & Josh on the left awaiting instructions while Tejay & William discuss the movie on the right.

Joshy, Daniel, & Josh getting ready to head on out.

We are all now eagerly awaiting the completion of the movie.

Also, looking forward to this summer when the Renes come for an extended visit.

Just some updated pics of us

Our church had our annual Old Fashion Day (this years theme was medival/renaissance). Well, since we have the picnic at our house we had to get the outside cleaned up. Sorry didn't get any good pics of William or my dad.

Here is Charity trying to catch up w/ us- too cute of a pic to pass up :)

Another one, thought this one was a lil better.

Daniel mowing the yard which is over 2 acres so I know he is glad that someone invented the riding lawn mower, lol. :)


Here's Hannah walking Comet. In case you dont know Comet is part German Shepherd, Malamute, Timber Wolf, & Red Wolf.

OK, I had to take a pic w/ Comet too. ;)

Hannah, Charity, & Comet in front of our guest house.

Well, while the rest of us were outside mom was inside sewing up a storm.

The finished product. Here are the girls dresses.
