NEW GELDING

CODY DID A castration at his family's ranch that Shelby and I had a chance to watch. He did a beautiful job as always. Some of these pictures are fairly graphic but for all the members of PETA out there, this was a surgical procedure done humanely with anesthetic, using sterile technique, and much care. Dallas is a happy, very unaware yearling.

HOLBROOK

I KNOW! CRAZY right?! I'm not a fan of sitting at home; Snowflake is a bit limited though when it comes to broadening my daughters horizons. A favorite place of ours in the valley was the Mesa Museum of Natural History. I got to thinking of it after about our 156th trip to Pioneer Park and decided on my next day off with my girl that we would head to the nearest museum I knew of that had dinosaur related exhibits (a Shelby favorite). So off to Holbrook we went. Glad we did.

SHELBY STOKED ABOUT our dino-trip


I LOVED THE display of old cameras


THE HISTORIC, STILL in use court room. View from the judges seat.





THE PONY EXPRESS: This tradition is special to me. As an 11 year old girl I sent a letter through The Pony Express. I was SO excited when I got it back. It was a thrilling experience for a young horse lover and owner and plan on sending one through for Shelby this January 29th run.

AN EMAIL FROM MY AUNT CAROL-

A United States Marine was attending some college
courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in.
He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, GOD if you are real then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 min.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting.'

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.

The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence.
The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What in the world is the matter with you? 'Why did you do that?'

The Marine calmly replied, 'GOD was too busy today protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me.'

The classroom erupted in cheers!
