Our anniversary trip!!





Chauncy Have been married for 4 wonderful years. our anniversary

was on the 16th of July and his birthday was on the 17th. Chauncy

has been looking for a horse to rope off of because the one he has

now is not good in the arena. well he found this Mare who just has

a horse colt and the lady said she would sell the mare for $1000 and

the colt for $300 we think we got a great deal. So for our anniversary

we decided to go get this mare and colt by ourselves, we told Seth he

could have the baby horse for his birthday so he was ok with us going

by ourselves and leaving him. we went to mesa on Friday and left our

Kiddos with Jodi in Pima. we went and at at El Paso Thanks Jodi for

the certificate. it was really good. we stayed the night at aunt Linda's

and got up early and left for mayor on Saturday morning. we met

JC and Ladawn at the McDonald's there in Mayor and ate breakfast

with them. it was so good to see them again. we miss hanging out with

them like we did when they lived in Pima. anyways we made it to

where the mare and colt were. we saw them and just fell in love right

there. we let them get to know us a little and then we started to load

them in the trailer. well the mare loaded really well but the colt didn't

want to go out of the gate. we finally just let the colt be and after

an hour he finally went in on his own. they traveled really well. We

were in mesa getting gas and a lady walked out of the store and

asked Chauncy if those where our horses and he said yes. she asked

him "could we feed them something like a chip" Chauncys like I'd

rather you not. your more then welcome to go pet them though. so

they did and couldn't believe they were seeing a baby horse they

were funny. Well we got back to Pima about 5 and unloaded the

horses and headed up to Thatcher for the fireworks and to see

our boys. Seth was so excited to see his baby horse. so on Sunday

morning we took the boys out to see them and they got to

feed the baby horse we named him stellar and her name is sage.

They just love helping daddy with the horses.
