Goodbye Zan Par Smarty


Last night Zan Par Smarty was covering a mare and was kicked square in the shoulder. The vet came today and told us the bad news that Smarty had broken his shoulder and would have to be put to sleep.
Smarty was an own son of the great stallion Zan Par Bar. He was one of the last living stallions out of Zan Par Bar. He always produced great babies with small heads, defined necks, and a huge hip. Smarty has been suffering from arthritis and other ailments in his old age. We will miss having such a great stallion in our barn - he was trully a great individual. Luckily we have several of his babies that we will have to keep his legacy alive.

Dad and Braxton




Braxton loves his Dad. Especially lately. When David is gone he always asks "where's Dad?" Or I miss Dad. Or when he's in trouble, "I WANT DAD". Anyway, I think Braxton gets a little tired of all the girls in his life. The poor thing has had to wear princess dresses, get his fingernails painted, and act like a Mommy. He has been a good sport but I can see a few of those things ending. He is definately all boy and is starting not to be such a willing participant to his sisters requests.

Braxtons Hair

Little Boys seem to always have their hair sticking straight on end at the crown of their head. Braxton is no exception. No matter how much gel we put in it still seems to stick straight on end. It makes me laugh. The other day we had one of Braxtons friends in the car with us. When I looked in my rear view mirror all I could see was two little heads with hair sticking straight on end.

Old Stone House

Today Me, Cheryl and Camille went to the Old Stone House for more pics. We didn't get near as many as Cori and I did last week because of the sun. It sure makes a difference if you take pictures outside on a day when the sky is cloudy. We stole a couple though. It was fun.

Pictures of the Poppies

Yes Lori these pictures were taken at the old stone house in Alpine. The poppies were not out in full bloom yet. Wait for maybe one more day and it will be perfect for some real good pictures. This week I think Tuesday or Wednesday is supposed to be cloud cover. We should get anyone that wants to come up and take pictures to go. My sister-in-law Lore was at Thanksgiving Point and got charged a $75.00 picture taking fee when she was helping her sister take someones senior pictures. So we can all go to the old stone house for free. Rachelle, you should bring Azure, Lexi, and Gabby. It would be fun. This time we need to have Camille's kids there too. It would be cute to get some pictures of the cousins and friends.
