NEW MADDIE PICTURES

In light of us all feeling sad about HB, I thought some new pictures of Maddie on the blog would make everyone smile!

Unexpected tragedy

As most of you already know our family suffered the loss of a very dear member of the family last night. Harley (HB) was hit by a car. I thought I would post a few pictures of HB for everyone. Rest In Peace HB, you will be missed and we loved you very much!

Harley James Todaro (a.k.a. HB)

More from our trip...

It is our last full day here at the ranch and it has been absolutely perfect! When I orignally looked at the weather forecast it was suppose to rain all day today. But it has been sunny and beautiful! We switched horses for our afternoon ride and even though I am partial to Peaches I had a blast. We took out two pretty big horses Luna and Legend, halfway through the ride Steph and I switched so we could try them both out. They were a lot of fun!! I can't even begin to describe the feeling you have while you are here. Being my second time I forgot how active you are during the day, but it is so relaxing that you don't realize how much you did until after dinner and you are just ready to relax and enjoy your room or the other quite rooms the house has to offer. Here are several more pictures from today....

Legolas was the first horse Steph rode when we arrived here

Two of my favorite horses here just because their markings are so different

Steph and Legend

Me and Luna

Girls Trip!!!

As most of you know Steph (my best friend) and I headed to Georgia for a "girls weekend." We left Monday morning at 2 a.m. We got to the ranch around 2 p.m. and rushed out for a ride. We were in bed by 6:30 but did not fall asleep till almost 9 p.m. Today we had two great rides and are feeling more human since we had a great night sleep. Here are several pictures of the ranch and our ride......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Just wanted to write a quick note and tell everyone Happy New Year!! I can't believe that in just three months Maddie will be a year old!! Just a few quick notes about our holidays. First of all the weekend of the 13th my sister Shelli graduated college so we flew down to Louisana for that (my mom, angie, mandy, me and maddie). Then the whole following week and into christmas we were all battling sinus infections! Scott's brother Jeff from Texas came home for Christmas this year!! We enjoyed his visit very much. We moved into our new house and have no internet or cable there until the 8th. I will put pictures up of it as soon as possible. We celebrated not only my dad's birthday but my birthday as well over the holidays and my mom's is in a few days!! Here are some photos of our holidays....

My favorite shot of Maddie over the holidays

We put this outfit on just for Uncle Jeff, and Maddie must have worked her magic because the Steelers won and the Cowboys lost
