About Me

My husband James and I have been married for 23 years, and we live in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. We have 4 daughters, Ashley- 22, Briana-19, Marissa-11, and Daniella-7. This is our 15th year of homeschooling. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading, camping, games with my family, and Bible study. My most favorite place on earth is sitting on a white sandy beach with the "sand between my toes", listening to the waves splash on shore. Our family is also passionate about adoption, Guatemala, and missions.

Loving Horses

Posted in Homeschooling

The girls are LOVING their horseback riding lessons.  Ashley, too, although, I don't have any pictures of her yet.  She drives herself over, but next week I'm going to go over and get pictures.  Anyway, here are Marissa and Daniella riding Dusty.

Monday, my nieces came over with my parents, and we all went to Dollywood.  They enjoy spending the day together.  They get to see each other usually about 2 or 3 times  year.

Wow, the girls look great! How long have they been riding? Beautiful horse, too. I sure wish I could talk JJ into resuming lessons...

Loved the picture of everyone at Dollywood, too!

Wow, that looks like so much fun! I'd always wanted riding lessons! It looks like your kids and your nieces are really close, that is so sweet! Hope you guys have a great weekend!

I love that last picture! How precious!

Thank you for being patient with my slowness of blogging (don't think that was grammatically correct! haha). I've missed touching base with you and am glad to peek in at your life again!

Blessings, Julie

What great pictures! My youngest (3 yrs. old) sometimes thinks she is a horse and prances around the house and in the yard with her LOUD neighing! It really is so cute.

The girls look SO happy on horseback. I would have LOVED to do that as a child and frankly would still love to. Riding is so good for your posture and for strengthening your core muscles too. What a great opportunity for them!

I love that last picture. You need to get it framed. How sweet. I'd love to be able to give my girls horseback riding lessons. I think it would help Jaedyn (SnowCrystal) a lot. Is that your horse, or do you go somewhere else?
