It's A Wonderful Life: August 2010

We'll be Sporting Red....

.........................Ok here it is.............Josh got accepted to the Periodontics Residency at the University of Nebraska!! We are going to be HUSKERS!!! We are really excited to finally know for sure where we will be going!! He was also given an offer at the University of Tennssee. They are both good schools but we chose Nebraska because it would be closer to home. Josh is really excited about the program at UNL. I have never been to Licoln, but he says it is really clean, lots of trails to exercise on and very family oriented! So here we come Nebraska! Even though I am from Canada, I have become a softy here in Virginia with it's mild weather. So I'm going to have to toughen up for those COLD winters! Josh graduates in May and then we will head west. It is a bitter sweet feeling, because we have loved it here in Virginia and have come meet some awesome people!!!

THe Stables

The Stable had some beautiful horses!! They were very friendly too! The girls even got to see a horse have it's bath, they thought that was really cool:) Being there actually made me want to have some land and a couple horses....someday:) Izzy can't wait for that day....the day she can have her very own horse....someday:)

This horse was VERY friendly, every time they got close he would nuzzle up close.

The girls must have smelt really good!

This was one of my favorites! He was BEAUTIFUL and so, so friendly!

Lilli got to go for a ride also and did a fantastic job!

Izzy Rides Chip

She was sooo excited for her horsey ride!!

Lookin Good!

Carol had Izzy practice some balancing while she was on the horse. She said that is what they work on first before they do any "real riding."

She was a natural and did so well....what a beauty....my little cowgirl!

Izzy Turns 4

Here is my beautiful Isabella Faith!! She turned 4 and I can hardly believe it! She is such a joy to have in our family!! She has the brightest eyes, they just sparkle! She is an awesome sister and best friend to Lilli and an awesome big sister to her little brother Talmage! She has the most amazing laugh I've ever heard! It just brings me to a smile everytime. I want to "bottle" it and keep in with me forever, so that whenever I need a little pick me up I can just open it up:) She loves horses and says she is going to race someday. She has an awesome imagination and her and her sister can play for hours making up stories as they go. She loves to sing. She also loves to jump wherever she goes. She is a great helper and loves organizing things. She can spell her name and is excited about learning new things. Isabella is quiet, but fiesty and can hold her own ground! And says the darnest things:) We love you so much Izzy Bizzy:) Thank you for being the wonderful girl you are and bringing us so much joy!!
