Past Week

I have been a little slow updating my blog. Summer is such a busy time. I did post some more pictuers from Cheyenne. This past weekend it was a much slower and quiter weekend than last weekend. It was nice to feel like I got caught up around the house.

Friday night Jenae and Aubree got to spend the night with Hope and Ben. They had a great time. Hope takes really good pictues. I posted some of the pictures that she took of the girls while they were at her house. I think they could pass for professional pictures.

Saturday and Sunday we stayed close to home. Aubree had a reaction to her chicken pox shot so we had to stay away from anyone that has not been vaccinated or had the chicken pox. Since there are a lot of little kids at church we decided to play it safe and stay home so she did not expose anyone.

Chip bought a new horse on Sunday. Jenae has really taken a liking to him. She has named him Comanche. I am not sure if that will become his official name or not. He is only a 2 year old so she only gets to ride him if Grandpa is right there leading him. The first day that Comanche came to the Whitaker Ranch, Jenae's horse Beauty was trying to get down the pecking order and she was pinning her ears back at Comanche. Jenae witnessed this and came in the house telling us all about it and how she punished Beauty for not being nice to Comanche. I asked her what she did to punish Beauty and she explained how she kicked Beauty in the belly and then only gave attention to Comanche. It was cute to listen to her being so serious. Chip tried to tell Jenae that is just what horse do when a new horse comes to the place. I am not sure if she understood what he was saying!

Aubree is always happy on a horse. She wants to ride all the time. When she does get to ride she insist that she holds the reins. Sometimes she is a little hard on the horse mouth. She pulls back on the reins and kicks the horse at the same time. She does not understand pulling back on the reins makes a horse stop. If Jenae is on a horse she starts saying "Aubree's turn" or "my turn" with in a minute of Jenae getting on. If she does not get to get right on she starts saying "I want to ride Cinnamon" She is such a silly girl!!!
