Taking a Stroll Down Vanity Lane

Every so often, I get these crazy ideas and this one....well...I flew with it! I got extentions put in today!! My head hurts...lol...but it's sure fun to doll yourself up now and then. Here's the transformation:

Kamber

For those of you that knew Kamber was leaving us this week....SHE'S STAYING!!! In a nutshell, aunt and uncle decided they weren't up for it. She was so excited when I told her she was staying and she's back to being a sweet little girl.

She'll be with us until at least November/December, possibly longer.

Black Thunder

Our new horse, technically Chris's-given to him on father's day, has had a few name changes. That's why it's taken me so long to post about her, but the song playing on our blog has finally inspired us with the final name: Black Thunder. She is the daugher of Abbaddon's Ebony Eclipse, who is a decendent from Courage of Equinox, a pretty fancy Morgan horse. Actually, her dad is pretty "fancy" himself and people from around the country breed their mares with him, for his good looks. We were hoping to breed Eden with him in a few years, but it looks like she's probably already expecting....that's another story. Her mom is Jet's Wayward Lass.

Thunder is BEAUTIFUL! She's solid black and just gorgeous. She's pretty wild and gets spooked easily because she was kept in a dark, small stable with no windows or lights. She's a yearling and is learning quickly, though. Once Chris gets the "spooks" out of her, he believes she'll be a good horse.

Chris wanted a horse with "spirit". He said Cayden is a "dead head" and you have to really prod Eden to get her moving, she's so laid back. So, he loves the wild flair that Thunder has.

I need to get better pictures, but for now, here is what I could round up.

Visiting with Cousins

Today we went to South Fork Campground and met up with some of Chris's extended family. We don't get to see them very often, so it was nice to say hello and catch up with everyone. Here are a few photos.

Here is Chris with his cousin, Travis McDowell. Also, with Travis was his wife, Lindsey and his step son, Wyatt.

And this is Chris and Taryn McDowell, another cousin. Taryn and Travis are siblings, along with Trent, who couldn't make it this time. They are John's brother's kids.

Last, but not least, Aunt Cindy with Chris, Korbin and Taryn. Also, there was Tom, Cindy's husband and Chris's brother, Matt . And of course, me and Landon were there, too.

It was good seeing everyone!

I just love the expressions on thier faces. They just seem content.
