It's Baby Time

It's baby time at Rydyn High! Sassy had her foal this morning. After a bit of an issue with Rylee's mare trying to steal the baby, we sorted out and Sassy and her little man are doing fine. We have to decide what we are going to call him now. Can't wait for the rest to come. They are so cute!

8 years old already?

So, it's Sunday afternoon and we have had a very busy weekend. Mom and Dad came up on Friday night and we had a lovely barbecue dinner. Some dummies stayed up til 1am visiting though which wasn't so smart considering how busy Saturday was going to be.

Saturday started with 4H for Rylee. Great news - he passed his Level 1 Horsemanship! Way to go buddy! We are so proud. It was great that Nana and Papa were there to see his awesome riding.

After that it was home for lunch, then mom and I and the kids hit the hot tub for an hour while Josh and Dad loaded bales and did chores. Then it was off to town for Jordynn's 8th birthday party.

We had Jordynn's party at the swimming pool in Lacombe. She had three school friends and Shaelynn, Ashley, Kolby and Kael as well. After swimming we had pizza and cake. Yum.

After wrapping up the kid party we all moseyed out to the farm and finished Jordynn's gift opening. She got lots of nice clothes and a few other neat things as well. Greg & Cheryl came out and we had a good visit and some more hot tubbing. Another dummy late night of 2:30am. Not picturing going back to work very well rested on Monday morning.

Now it's Sunday afternoon and I have accomplished absolutely nothing today. Terry is going to take the kids to a hockey game, so I feel a nap coming on...ps

Busy weekend

Friday night we went out to Yuk Yuks in Lacombe with a bunch of friends - what a great time. So many laughs! My cheeks hurt by the time it was over! We are lucky to have such great friends.

Yesterday I spent the day in Lacombe taking my Level 1 Reiki course. What an absolutely amazing time. We were lucky enough to have 3 masters there to teach us, two of whom I have received treatments from in the past. So much to learn. So many amazing ladies with touching stories. I soaked it all up like a sponge. I can't wait to participate in the Reiki group and to move on to the Level 2. I also am looking forward to using it on my horses and seeing how they like it.

Today is a day for playing catch up. Josh is working in the garage on some shelves for the tack room and I am supposed to be working on Farm books for income tax, and yet, here I am blogging away.

I have to say, I don't think there is anything more lovely than sitting in a hot tub in the evening with the lights off staring at the millions of stars. What a great way to end a day!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend as well! I really must accomplish something now!

It's Hot Tub Time!

Yay! After many years of wanting (yes Josh and I can actually wait for something), we bought a hot tub. When we were at the home show in Calgary, we looked at about 7 different companies tubs. We were really taken with the Jacuzzi tubs. While we were chatting up the sales guy, he offered us a trial run in a couple of their tubs at the store in Calgary. So, we took him up on it and were sold. Love the massaging jets and the foot massage jets. It was delivered yesterday and tonight it is finally hot enough to use! So, my plan is to make an easy chicken caesar salad for supper and then have family bonding in the hot tub tonight!
