Pictured above: Paula and Taupanga. Taupanga is one of our papered Miniature horses. As you can see, she isn't too sure of the camera. This picture was taken at end of 1997 when the mini's were three month old. We also have New Mexico Foxey Star who is Taupanga's half sister. The only difference is Foxey has a white stripe running down the front of her face and a white snap on her left nostril.
Please be sure to come back real soon we'll be adding more.

Pictured above: Paula Sueanne and Dad. This picture was taken a few days before graduation which took place on 18 May 2001 Paula thinks we're giving parise to God because she made it through all 12 years of school just as her sisters did before her. But the truth be told... I'm giving praise to God because now Karen and myself have earned our rite of passage. And now we can keep ice cream in the house for more then two days! LOL.. Karen and I love our children so very very much. The happiness and pride we have for each of them goes far beyond anything we've shared on this family web-page.

Now we come to what started the whole frenzy of having a wep-page: Pictured above is Karen in her sewing room doing what she does all most all the time... Sewing!
Karen wanted to have a way of showing and selling the things she makes. Of which are all the Costumes and English Riding Apparel you see the girls wearing while they we're competing.
She also made all their hair bows with nets and all the bells and whistles that go on them. As well Karen made and sold to many other riders costum made Riding Jackets and Pants.
Karen also made and still makes Horse Blankits and so many other things for both riders and horses.

Pictured above: Kaylie, She is Tameron's daughter.
Kaylie was born on what used to be a very unhappy day for me.
September 20th. 1985 was the day her grand-pa was hurt, and had to retire. I'll never forget how I felt waiting for our third grand child to be born.
In the past on this date all I wanted to do was be angry about what happen to me. When Kaylie was born all that was in the past was forgtten. I remember holding her for the first time looking at her and telling her "Thank You" Everyone ask why was I saying thank you.... So I reminded them what day it was. Oh and by the way Kaylie was some two weeks late... Or like I believe she was right on time! You can't tell me God don't answer our prayers.

Karen and I while enjoying a picnic in early May of 2001 up in the Florida mountain on the 4 wheeler. It was a beautiful day. We seen 14 deer and the spring flowers and catus were all in bloom.
As our children get older and move on to start lives and families of their own. Karen and I have time to spend together and do some of the things we've wanted to do just for us. However you can bet our children and now grand children are never far from our thoughts.
Of which... We better get going for home. Summer vacation is almost here and we need to eat the ice cream before they come to visit. Well hide it from the growen up's so we can share it with the grand kids.... If you can keep a secret... We'll give them some too.
