Max's First Horseback Ride

Max went for his first horseback ride last weekend.

OK, so not really. He did get babysat for the first time though. Thanks Peyton!! She said Max did great so I hope it's true. :) Chris and I went for a ride with the dogs and then Max got his picture taken. He was six weeks old. He's going to love horses and dogs just like his parents. Otherwise he's going to get left home a lot.

Sitting behind a family in church last Sunday I saw a dad write some words on a piece of paper for his son to copy and practice writing. The words were Dog....Bike....Wii. I thought that was very funny.

First Flyball Tournament

Murphy competed in her first flyball tournament last weekend. She did great for her first time. This is her running up to the box.

This is her catching the ball off the box and turning to go back down the lane.
This is how Max spent his time at his first flyball tournament. He was very good but Chris took him home early because it got hotter later in the afternoon. The band-aids over his ears are holding in cotton balls to block out some of the insane barking that is constant at flyball tournaments.
Max sleeping blissfully at home with hands over his head like usual.
We've finally moved down to St. George. I'm so glad to have Chris closer again and to have cut my budget for gas more than in half. It's pretty hot down here but we're all adjusting and doing good.
