Still more summer FUN!!!

Hello everyone.... So Doug and I had yet again another fun adventure when we went to our town's fair this last weekend or so. Doug caught wind of a horse competition and we got sucked in to it. I competed in the Novice group and Doug did Open and Obstacles. I got Third place and Doug got last in the Open and second in the Obstacles. It was a great competition. We borrowed a team of horses from a guy Doug knows in our church. It was great practice for our big competition in Sept. In Sandpoint with Doug's old boss and their teams of horses!!!


Doug and I practicing and us waiting for the judge to places us.
So another fun part of our summer came to a close this week too. Mathew (My little bro.) is going back home to Minnesota. Doug and I have had him every summer for the past two years and now the summer is over and we will stop being parents to a 16 year old for another few months. We decided to throw him a good bye party with the help of some of our friends. Enjoy the pic.

Mathew and his cake plus the pic of all the girls and two guys Mathew hung out with in Gooding, ID.
Doug enjoyed listening to all the girl talk that went on at the picnic table. haha Now I think Doug would rather all boys for children. ha ha ha!!!

How fun to throw Mathew a going away party! The boys will really miss seeing him. Hopefully he will come next summer!

We will miss you Mathew!

And great job on the horse races! The pic of you two in the cart waiting to go is so cute! Your horses are tiny compared the others next to you! :)

It looks like you guys are having a great time. I think your puppy is adorable! Makes me want one! We'll keep in touch and let you know our plans!
