MIHA Jr. Equestrian Meet

Wow! Thanks to everyone for a great day full of fun and competition! We had 15 schools from 2 districts, with 91 total riders for the biggest Jr. MIHA event in Holland yet!!!! I was coach of the Zeeland Christian, and Holland Christian teams, and responsible for 8 riders. Classes were larger than life!!!! (45+ riders in most classes!!!) And we still got a few placings! Great job girls! We had no serious injuries, no fall offs, and a great sportsmanship attitude coming from everyone on the grounds. All the nerves are now calmed, and the stress is back down to a comfortable level :)

In the morning, it rained and we were fortunate that the Van Rhees took a canopy pop up tent to hide under! Mrs. Teune brought all the snacks and drinks for the girls, Lisa Mckellips made sure that showmanship went smooth and handled all the misc. coaching tips throughout the day, and everyone helped EVERYONE get ready for their classes. Later, the day got hot and breezy, so it was actually about a perfect horse show day. Here are some great pictures from the event.... You all look great! I'm proud of everyone, and was honored to have the opportunity to help coach you. David Williams took all the photos from the event and did an awesome job. They are all on the website http://www.awakenedimages.com/ and here are some of my favorites!

Brayden Smith: 10 Months

This is my best friend's little boy. He is between 9 and 10 months old, and is crawling, standing up, and has his bottom two teeth!!!! What a cutie! He didn't really want to smile for us, but his mom and dad got a few out of him and we snatched them as quick as we could :) His mom, Stephanie, is really creative with props and ideas for clothing, so of course Brayden will always look as cute as a button! :) For more pictures of Brayden, check out our website under the baby galleries!



Brayden & Ezekiel :)

Todd & Shannon Engagement!!!

This is the covered bridge in Ada, Michigan. It's beautiful!!!! It spands the Thornapple River, which is REALLY high since we got all that rain earlier this week. It was spilling over the dam up the river and was moving at quite the quick pace :) Shannon suggested this park and we had a great time working with Shannon and Todd. The bridge has a long history story behind it, about falling in the river, burning down, and how they kept putting it back up since the 1860's. Now it is a well-trafficed bike path, as we learn to dodge the bikers as they came through :)

Shannon's beautiful ring was picked out by Todd, with some help from his mom.... Great Choice!!

They were up for some fun shots, and this one made us laugh..... :)

Todd & Shannon are planning their Wedding for September 27, 2008 in Grand Rapids!!!!

Derbyshire Horse Trials!!!!

Hey, after a long weekend at the Stevensville Horse trials, we are glad to relax back at home! I showed 2 horses and had a blast!!! David was the official photographer, so I got some really cool shots of me with my boys. Deville is the bay and Dakota is the chestnut... he is for sale, and completed 3rd in his division! (At his first Event!!!) Deville and I were eliminated on the Cross country course because I was tossed, and with the new rules, you can't get back on anymore :( Oh well.... We have a photoshoot this weekend for an engagement session, so look forward to seeing that with my new lens for my camera!!!! Yay!!!!!
