November

Here is a little peek at our house lately...

Someone is getting pretty big-

We've been swimming, courtesy of Mr. McKay

We had all sorts of fun and Duncan is getting pretty good at floating on his back as well as swimming!

I have a similar picture of Duncan doing this at just about the same age- yes, they are ALOT alike :)

This is my old horse Jake. Long story short, he is in "greener pastures".  It has been an adjustment looking out my back door and not seeing him standing in the field or walking out to check on him and make sure he was warm enough and so on. He is a fixture on the farm. He was the horse that everyone got to ride for the first time or if they had never riden a horse because he was our gentle giant. You trusted him with anyone and all of the grandkids have taken a ride or two on him for the first time all by their self.  He was 35 years old, pretty old for a horse, and has been my best friend since I was a kid. I spent countless hours riding and spending time on him growing up. I hope my boys are able to have a pal like him to spend their childhood/adolescence on riding and enjoying horses. He gave us all lots of fun memories and good laughs. We will all miss him. 

Grandpa and Clayton after Thanksgiving dinner- Poor Grandpa:)

There is always something fun to do at Aunt Kecia's house. Air hockey, ping pong, you name and they have it to keep us all entertained.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!
