I am the wife of a soldier, and the mother of two little ones (ages 3 and 1). I am passionate about my God, my family, and my country. I chose the title for my blog because I started it around the time that we found out my husband would be going to Iraq. I am so proud of his service to our country. Also I am constantly striveing to become more like christ. Hence the title "passionate patriot conforming to 'His' image.
I will be ordering some more Thoene books to read
Jan. 18, 2008~ Friday show and tell ~
Friday show and tell is hosted by Canada Girl. Just fallow the link above to check it out.
I still have not figured out how to get pictures off the video camera, so until then I needed to figure out what show and tell I could do with the pictures I already have. So this one will be about horses.
This is my mother-in-law's horse. Her name is charity. She is a quarter hourse She has had this horse for many years. Charity is trained in the western style of riding. This is my husband and son riding her.
This horse is my sister-in-laws. Her name is Glory, and she is a Theroughbred. She got her horse when she was a teenager. She got her horse the same time her mother got hers. They were origionally purchased in California, but have traveled with them when they moved. Glory is trained in both western and English, although my sister-in-law mostly does English. This is my sister-in-law leading glory around the arena with my son riding her.
This is my mother-in-laws rocking horse. They have had this longer than their other horses. The top picture is my darling daughter riding, and the bottom picture is my darling son riding her. Somewhere there is a picture of my husband riding this horse when he was the same age. Actually, there is a picture of him sleeping on the horse. According to my mother-in-law, my husband was very hyper as a kid. (like father like son) and he used to vigorously ride this horse, and then just crash. One minute the horse is rocking and the next he is asleep. Anyway, this horse has been in the family a long time. Maybe it will still be around when my son has a son.
Anything horses is a wonderful show and tell. And I love the last pictures the best! Rocking horses and children - can't beat it.
(I just love your pictures of your children that you have at the top of your blog)
