Horse Show Number 1 - 2009

We had a great Day on May 30th. I was trying to be two places at once with two busy kids. Thank heaven's for a husband and sisters. Dave was in charge of Zach and getting him to his Karate testing. I had Ali with me, we got up at 5:30 to go to my parents house and wash her horse. Grandma Diane made her breakfast with Hayley and Jaxsen, while Christy, Andrea and I washed horses (mostly Andrea and Christy - they are horse washing champs).

After that was completed Ali went with Christy to the West Jordan Arena and I went to get a cat carrier at my house and ice. Hilerie's cat Smokey decided to be a stow away and got in the horse trailer the night before, she didn't discover that until she was at the arena. ha ha ha

Anyway, on my way to the arena I stopped and watched Zach earn his yellow belt. WHEW! What a day. Dave and I have the best kids ever!

All the kids tore it up. They did so awesome and made us all proud. Hayley rode Tahoe and even though he is an old man, he still wants to rip up the dirt. Surprised cowgirl Hayley when he took off like a jet to run poles. Emily and Ty both rode Cocoa, Ali on Spinning Jet. It was a great morning and we were done by 1:00pm. Nothing like the horse shows when I was growing up that ended at 2:00 in the morning, and lasted both Friday and Saturday ALL day long.

After the horse show we got shakes at Riley's, for Dad, Zach, & Grandma J and went to Grandma Jeanne's house where Dave and Zach were helping grandma tear down her fence and clean up her yard. When Ali & I got there, Zach was flat on the couch with a fever, and Grandma Jeanne was gone with Aunt Bette.

:( Zach fought a fever all weekend and he just felt lousy. Took him to the doctor on Monday and he had Strep. Took Ali with me to the doctor also, and found out she had strep too, just wasn't showing any signs of it yet.

Here are some pictures of our fun weekend, until the fevers hit.
