A thing called life happened.....

It seems that life keeps me so busy I forget to update this blog....for long periods of time. I always have good intentions....
So to update:
Hannah is 2 1/2 going on 5. She's going through many bouts of the terrible twos. You never, never want to hear your mother say to you, "just wait until you have kids...." because really...that's the Mommy curse! It has been a challenge for sure....figuring out what works and what doesn't work. Hannah really is a good girl she just doesn't talk very much and I think she's gets frustrated.
She's growing up so fast and everyday she seems to learn something new. That has been the fun part about being a parent. I love to see her learn something new, retain it and master it quickly. She's at a fun, but quite tiring age!
We've had our ups and downs with racing. Several horses have retired this year including, Activator, Afleet Bay, Speed Away, Anxious and Winabull. So far they all have fond great new homes except for Speed Away. He decided to go get himself hurt the night before he was supposed to be leaving for his new home. I've been able to help several people find homes for their own horses too. That is very rewarding!
Murphy is still doing very well. He's fat and happy and makes me smile. I've shown him in four Mini Trials this year and have had two seconds a fourth and was eliminated once for missing a jump. Not his fault but we would have been second in that one too. We've done a handful of hunter paces as well and have more planned for this fall. Two more Mini Trials too. This has been the busiest show season for me and by far the most fun. I've ventured out by myself, gained lots of confidence and proven to myself that I can do well. I love my horse!!
Tipping is fat and gorgeous. FINALLY!! I'm really sad that I have not had much time to ride her. I put her on the back burned because Murphy already knew what he was doing and Tipping is still in the learning stages. Tipping is for sale as well but only if I feel 100% confident in the new home.
Sealy left for her new home in GA back in the spring. The girl who bought her adores her and Sealy is doing super! I'm soooo proud!!
Let's see....Jade is still here. Hannah loves her to bits. She still must be on a lease at all times. Somewhat of a pain but she's so good with Hannah that we deal.
I guess that's it for now. Hopefully I will make more time to update here.
Tomorrow is going to be a hard day. That is the 3yr date since Dad passed away. I still miss him so much. I think about him nearly everyday at some point.
