115th Reason I LOVE LIBBY!

I have been so busy that the days are flying by!

I got a new job and that takes up a lot of my time

since I am now, FULL TIME employed!

Paychecks are nice, but not much 'play' time.

That may change come spring time!

Yesterday I had the grandkids.
Briann is a little cowgirl!

The only reason she comes to Nana's house is to "RIDE LIBBY!"
The only reason I get a "hug" is
 to 'Ride Libby'.

So Nana being the ole softy
(and needing more hugs),

and Libby wanting some much needed attention

I decided to make a little girl happy!

(I remember what it was like to want to ride a horse.)
(Well, actually I still 'want to ride')

And a little "cowboy" too!

 We were babysitting Parker, and when he

understood that Briann was going to ride Libby,

He HAD to ride also!

Here they are waiting for Nana to bring Libby in.

I just love this picture of Libby and Briann.
And Libby even looks clean! LOL

Once around the pasture and it was NOT ENOUGH!
She would not get off, and insisted upon riding more!
But she had to get off and let Parker ride.
(It was cold! and 'dad' was freezing!)

My eldest, Phillip, Briann's daddy, was the guard to make sure
children were safe.
Need not of worried because Libby was an angel.
(But always! Just in case!)

Number 115th reason, I LOVE MY HORSE!

What was so special about today?

When I got up this morning and saw the sun

coming through the trees into the fog,

I knew it was going to be a special day.

Why so special you ask?

Because PARKER got to ride Libby today.

And when we trotted,

he giggled a lot!

(It looks like we are going hell bent for election,

but actually we were doing a slow trot!)

Then it was Briann's turn,

and she kept saying:

"run," "run,"

her version of 'trot'.

So we did,

and she giggled all the way!

(Libby trots ever so gently with the kids and me on her.)

Parker does not normally wear pink,

but my helmet was way to big, 

and since Briann had her BIKE helmet with her

they wore that.

(I KNOW, bike helmets are not proper gear! But it fit and better than no protection!)

The kids had so much fun!

And SO DID I!

Here is Briann and her mom patiently waiting her turn.

Parker and his mommy.

Then the unexpected happened!

My youngest Son Cameron, wanted to ride.

So here I am giving direction as to what to do

because she is so light on her cues, I 

wanted him to totally understand that.

AND Because of his foot wear, 

He was not allowed to use the stirrups either.

So he was 'horsin' around and Libby was being such a sweetheart.

And here is Father and Son!

Riding "MY" horse!

Yes, I knew today was going to be special!

Because LIBBY has made it so!

Dreams REALLY do come true!

Me and my Granddaughter

Briann.

She is turning into quite the little

cow girl!

Riding my painted pony!

Who is so patient and kind.

Yes, My dream!

Just a little something I put together.

Hope you enjoy!

R U Ready for Halloween?

Libby Is!

Looked at dad for help!

He told her he was "sorry"!

Is she thinking "&itch"?

"If I would of known,

I wouldn't of cantered up to see what "mom" was doing!"

"Umm....does not hamper my favorite past time."

Lilly was not to happy with Libby!

You think it is her costume?

Libby loved the attention.

Suppose to get a storm front move in,

so if there is rain, she will be all white again.

Or maybe marbled...

Ummmmm......
