Wild Misty

Today I was going to ride Misty.  My dad always works with her first so at least she can be humble enough to ride.  My dad brought Misty next to a tree.  There was some sort of noise or a rock hit her, she jumped and my dad had no choice but to release her.  Misty gallopped and gallopped around the field.  I slowly hid behind Logan because Misty was coming at a dead charge for me.  Then she ran out of our eye sight.  Misty went into a cactus area of ours and forgot the entrance out.  My dad and her both darted towards the entrance.  I actually thought she was going to jump the barb that protected me from her.   Logan grabbed a rotten fruit that she liked and threw it to her.  That got her mind off of escaping.  My dad grabbed the rope and staked her in the mud where there was no food.  He did that to teach the horsey a lesson.  I think it did teach that horse a lesson.  Misty also tore up my dad's garden.  I can't ride my Misty until she is trained now. :(. I am going to miss the little trot to her.  Thank God we even have a horse.

Working for The Lord

Two days ago I had an idea for our goat pen.  We had a divider in between the fence for the goats.  I thought we should close the entrances off, get the divider out, and make a gate to it.  Then the goats could mate.  My dad liked the idea, and I was so happy he did because Logan is usually the idea person.  Four guys are working their tale off making the goat project and making benches for a church.  I made a little path to the entrance of the pen yesterday, but the chickens trashed it :(.  I think the pen and the benches look awesome so far!  Thank you Jesus that my dad and Mike get to have good fellowship with friends!

Posè= relax

This little one is tired after drinking milk and eating bread.  We need to be like this cat, being able to relax and not to worry.  Just relax for a little bit and have some fun!

Cuties

This is what I thought of.  The kittens names are sugar and daisy.

Fellowship and fish

Today everyone in my family plus Oberline went to Shane's ranch.  We had a picnic with Shane and the lunch made me think I was in America because Shane made bbq pork.  All the kids went out to the goats.  Is was really weird because there were only 5 half grown goats and no babies.  After the fun with the goats we had the yearning for climbing something.   We climbed every where we could.  Then it was time to get some fish from Shane!  I overheard Shane talking that someone needed to get in the slimy green water.  I thought he was joking.  I was the first child to get in the water.  Eventually all of the kids got in and worked together to capture the fish.  This was a very fun day out on the ranch with Shane.  On the way home Oberline and I were  counting  how many horses and foals we saw.  There were 18 horses mixed with some foals...very cute!!    What an exciting day it was!  I think everyone is exhausted from the fun, long day.  Thank God for the picnic, more fish and the wonderful time with our friend Shane!

Dancing and singing

  Yesterday it was Oberline's Birthday!!  It was her first birthday party in her life.   She woke up early early and went into my mom and dad's room.  Right in the morning we went to take the goats up and see Misty.  I asked her if she wanted a ride on Misty, she said yes.  She hopped on and Misty did a really good job.  Then when she wanted to dismount she just fell off.  I don't think she knew how to get off.  I think Misty did really good for a yearling.  At 9:00 my dad took her to the bank so we could decorate.  We have ribbon stringed up on the walls with smiley faces.  When she got back she didn't really say anything.  I think she didn't say anything because she doesn't know how to respond to it.  She had a fun time singing and dancing.  Praise God for Oberline to have a good Birthday!

                                                                                         I think she had a great time.

  

Happy Birthday Oberline!

In the midst of the water

      Yesterday I was planning to have a nice night with pop, movie, popcorn, and electricity.  While we were making popcorn we lost power.  Then our popcorn was burnt and barley anything popped.  We watched Star Trek and  power came on and off like 4 times.  There was lots of rain and thunder and also my parents were gone at a church service. All the animals were scared.  When my mom and dad got back we went back to watch our movie.  I heard my mom yell Logan's name. I ran out and saw water was coming in from the roof and down the stairs that lead to the roof.  Water was everywhere! I started picking up important things on the ground like boxes of bibles.  My brother went to help my dad sweep the water off the roof.  Then after awhile I went up there to help sweep.  Then Oberline walked up and helped me too.  It was pitch dark, the rain was so cold and there was lighting and thunder all around us.  After sweeping and sweeping we took a break on the ledge.  Just as much water as we were sweeping out was just falling again, again, and again.  We took another break and just sat in the water.  It made no difference to our clothes to sit in the water. There was so much water that the wrinkles in the water made me think I was in the ocean.  After an hour of sweeping, the rain was like needles on my back.  During all this in the dark, Oberline and I staring singing and rejoicing.  Then the boys started knocking holes in the ledge of the roof so the water would run off.  Oberline and I grabbed the chairs that were up there and hid ourselves from the rain.  When we were finished, we went down and realized we had cement all over us.  I rinsed off and my mom said that the water was cold but since I was so cold it felt like it was hot.  That was not the kind of Saturday night I was expecting.  It is still raining now at 10:29  the next day here.  Thank Jesus for the rain.  All the farmers will have a good season of crop this year.
