We had a wonderful time in Montana over the last week. It was great to see family, get outside, and of course eat wonderful food. Here a just a few of the pictures and a couple videos from our trip. My sister-in-law Stacey got some AMAZING shots also - check it out here. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!!!!

This is Sean riding Shake Em, he is talking to Sassy in this video.

The other weekend Ryan flew down to Los Angeles with his parents to watch the races at Los Alamitos and support his mother who was awarded a pretty prestigious award in the horse racing community. She was given the Milli Vessels award which is given to one women every year who shows an outstanding commitment and achievement within the American Quarter Horse racing industry. It is very cool to see Mary get recognition for all the hard work she does!!!

This first photo is of Ed and Mary with their friends Candace and KC. They are the ones who nominated Mary for the award! KC also received the leading Challenge Owner and Trainer of the Year!

Here is the beautiful race track at Los Alamitos!

And getting the award! Congratulations Mary!!!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Today we had our first pumpkin carving experience. When Sean was asked what he wanted to put on his pumpkin he said, "mustache". Well, ok. Sorry about the ketchup on the face in this photo

Sean was a little unsure of the innards . . . he said there was scary stuff in there.
Molly was a little unsure about the whole process at first, but then we explained what we were doing and she got pretty excited.

And the finished product, mustache and all. Don't judge, it was my first pumpkin carving attempt since grade school.

Thanks Mandy & Matt for the invite! We had a blast!
