Riding my horse at 35 wks!

Well, all through this pregnancy I have always asked what activities I should and shouldn't do. Up until about 4 months I still played bball and tried to exercise. I have ALWAYS been riding my horse and no one has told me otherwise. The only thing I was advised not to do was skydive or bungee jump, which I haven't. So, since we have moved I have really missed riding my horse everyday and decided it was time. So, out we went to ride and Brandon wanted to lead Rascal just to be safe. Well, that wasn't too fun, so I eventually got the reins and off we went. It felt so great to ride, even if me and the horse have gained a few lbs. He has been so great at taking care of me and understands when I am riding or when Brandon is riding him there is a difference. He has been so smooth and slow at the trot and lope with me. So, I figured I'd better get a picture of this and so far all I had was my phone, so I apologize for the poor quality...but here I am riding my horse Rascal at 35 wks pregnant. (You'l have to forgive me for riding in shorts, but jeans ARE NOT an option when it is 100 degrees out and also for the flip flops, my feet don't fit in my boots when they are that swollen.)

Update on life in Hagerman

Well, we have officially moved to Hagerman! This is where Brandon grew up and where his family still has their horse ranch, so it seemed like a good place to be. Brandon is working with his dad's counseling business and will start his 2nd internship in September. We were so blessed to find a great house to rent and it is 5x bigger than our previous home...plus it has A/C. :) We are out of town on this great horse racing/training facility while the owners live in California. There is a ton of great pasutres, a shop, barns and of course Tex LOVES the canal that goes right thru the property. We are getting unpacked slowly, but had the great help of his parents to move us here and my family to help get me unpacked! We couldn't have done it with out family! We dearly miss our friends in Rexburg and hope to get back over there after Casen is born. When we moved, I brought my horse, my dog and 3 cats...I am not a crazy cat woman, they are all ones that I have saved and raised on the bottle, so of course I couldn't leave em behind. Since we have moved into this home though, we have experienced some plumbing problems. The bathroom downstairs smells like sewage...and leaks...and has frogs coming into it somehow. Then our kitchen sink has something majorally blocking it and therefor is not able to be used...which poses a problem since there is also no dishwasher. But we are getting along just great and have more space than we know what to do with.l We will probably be living here for many years to come. I will get some pictures up soon.
