Party!

I don't have any pictures with me at the moment but we had a great block party/birthday party for the kids.  I made the cupcakes with the umbrella's and gum for beach chairs.  I will try and get a pictures, but I got the idea on pinterest of course.  The pinata was a big hit.  All the kids got to hit the pinata and seemed to have fun.  Grandpa got whacked a couple of times.  Luckily it was a nerf baseball bat.  But he was taking some pretty strong hits from a 4 year old.  It was freezing outside but the kids still ate out in the playhouse.  They really tried to batton down the hatches out there to keep the wind out.  It was very cute.  All in all I would say a success. 
Yesterday we went out to visit Tara.  I don't have any pictures of her but she is at boot camp.  We finally decided to go and have her trained or she was going to be made into glue.  She has lost a lot of weight and it was only three days and her trainer got on her and was riding.  So far she has not bucked.  She just seems to really be into doing what is asked other than when she is worried about what the rest of the herd is doing out there.  Brandi and Skinner are going to have to go out and start riding with Tara and her trainer so that they can get a bit of training as well.  It was great to see though.  Hopefully there will be some posts about her on www.backwoodsbuckaroo.com which is Tara's trainer's website.  She lost so much weight she actually looks like a pony instead of a big horse.  Brandi was pretty happy to see her.  So next weekend hopefully they will get a chance to get out there.
