Congratulations Glenn & Jennifer

On October 17, 2008 my big brother and Jennifer got married. Nathan and I had the opportunity to go to Sacramento and celebrate in their big day. It was a beautiful wedding at the Wine and Roses Winery in Lodi, CA. And much much warmer than it had been in Boise.... which makes me happy. The night was filled with an amazing dinner and great dancing. I am so happy for the two of them! And am thrilled to have Jennifer an official part of the family. We love you!! Congratulations.

Region III

Arabian Region III was in Reno, Nevada in July but I feel it necessary to go back and talk about it. Mostly because I just like to brag about how awesome Nathan is at his job!! Nathan showed three horses there; Nobles Top Gun, Sagehills Honey Bunny, and Spinner. In Arabian reining there are three classes that professionals can ride in; Purebred Open, Half-Arab Open, and the Futurity. At the end of the week Nathan was Champion in the Half-Arab Open with Bunny, Champion in the Futurity with Top Gun, and Reserve Champion Purebred Open with Spinner. Plus he had only ridden Spinner for a total of 6 days before he went in the class. Nobles Top Gun
Region III Reining Futurity Champion

Sagehills Honey Bunny

Region III Half Arabian Reining Open Champion

Like I said I think he is pretty awesome at his job. Don't forget to check back in February for Top Gun's Scottsdale Futurity debut.

Brady's 4th Birthday

Brady turned 4 years old on Saturday September 6th. Yes he may be "just a dog" to some people but anyone who really knows that couldn't be further from the truth. He is my child, my monster, pride and joy and my parents grand dog. You get the idea! So to celebrate his big day Nathan and I went to the store... well I Nathan tagged along and rolled his eyes at me... while I bought special canned dog food and pig ears to celebrate in a way that Brady would appreciate. We put the food in his bowl, lit a candle, and sang him happy birthday.
This is Brady giving a high five because he is so excited about his presents! You can now poke fun....

Softball Practice

When I heard Balihoo was creating a fall softball team I couldn't wait to play. But since I haven't played baseball in... well ever... Nathan and I decided to head to Boondocks to brush up on our skills.

Turns out it is a good thing that I am thing one playing softball and not Nathan because I kicked his butt. He may claim the baseballs are harder to hit than the softballs, but I don't buy that excuse.

We had a great time and it took us back to our younger days of go-karts, miniature golf, and arcade games... oh wait we still do that. But I had even more fun beating him.And here is a picture of my totally awesome softball team, Balihoosonfirst, with pink thunder in the middle.

My first blog entry

Since this is my first time blogging it may take me awhile to get the hang of exactly how to do this. I thought this would be a nice idea to allow friends and family to know what Nate and I are up to. I will try and update this regularly, although I can't promise anything.

These days we are both extremely busy. Nathan is busy riding horses (big surprise) and getting ready to head to Reno with Annie the end of this month for the NRCHA. I am looking forward to graduating in December and desperately trying to hurry my last semester along. While going to school I am also working for Balihoo Creative, an advertising agency based here in Boise. We both love what we are doing in Boise and Glenns Ferry but hate being so far away from friends and family.
