Arielle's First Horse Show!






Today Arielle rode in her first horse show. She was a bit nervous because it was an English show and even though she's been taking lessons for 4 months, she's only rode English a few times. I was impressed at how much control she had over the horse when she did the "Hurry Scurry", "Barrels" and "Jumps". She did awesome and took home 2, 2nd place and 2, 3rd place ribbons.

Time to recap May. What a great month its been, last month of school and all the wonderful chaos that entails! Arielle had a 3rd grade dance performance, Toby had a choir concert, both kids had track meets galore. End of April we celebrated my birthday which Scott, Crystal & fam came down for- what a good goofy time we had eating cake, going to the park & flying a kite. In May Julie & Steve took us on a ATV tour in Bryce Canyon. End of May we also took a quick trip to Vegas with Dad and layed out at the pools at Worldmark all day. It was delightful, too bad I don't have pics. Sloans also came to visit us over Memorial Day and we did a SWEET hike through some water up at Red Cliffs. We figure that hike gives us bragging rights. Wish I had pics of that too. What a wonderful month we've had. Trying to relish every bit of family & St. George before we move!
