Bummer

Today we woke up to Blake gettting sick. Poor guy.
Makes a momma sad.
A little brother mad.
And a dad...that's glad he's out of the house!

I know, I'm a bad mom...didn't have any Gatorade in the house

Grady was there to offer emotional support~

Hopefully it's just for the day...Get to feeling better Blake!

This past weekend Mike's sister Mandy and her husband "Nathan" aka Jason came up from Brighton, CO to spend the weekend. It was so great to get to see them. So with company comes lots and lots of good food...thanks Grandma Lynda, music, laughter and maybe a few too many BEER MARGARITAS. Sad to say, I was the one who ended up lying on the bed while everyone else had a fun night! We miss seeing them so much!

Photography Class

This weekend I went to Rapid City for a Larry Larson Photography Clinic.

This man is amazing in what he can do with horses and how to show their best features.

I learned so much and met some really neat people. Here are a few of my pictures.

HA HA...these were my BEFORE shots BEFORE the clinic....I thought they were okay. Boy did I have alot to learn~!

WOW...what a difference. I now know so much more than a few days ago.

The girls that rode looked so neat in their outfits!

such beautiful details

this girl's mother makes all her show outfits. She made this one!

And the best part about the whole trip...

Blake and Mike came on Saturday to see me...

visiting Bear Country was on the agenda...

It was a great weekend. Grady got to have a sleepover with Grandpa and Grandma Drayton. Blake got some quality time with just Dad and Mom. A great Mother's Day!
