I am long over due for a post and I know that.  I'm so sorry.  I've been using three computers and it's been crazy.  Alas... I have a new computer.  I have changed to the MAC world and it is frustrating but I'm slowly figuring it out.  I do need to purchase Photo Shop for Dummies, that program is difficult!  I don't have Picasa in the right location on the computer either but I'll work on that.

Around here we have been busy the last couple of months.  May brought the end of school and that entailed a field trip to the zoo, ice cream party, talent show, field day and a concert by the great Arnett Howard on the last day of school.  It was busy.  Not to mention we started baseball practice.  It was fun and I am happy to say that Shea will be a second grader come the end of August.  Holy cow where is this time going?  We also received word that Shea was once again accepted into Monroe Elementary via Open Enrollment. 

Shea had a great time at the zoo, as always, with her friends.  They informed me that getting ice cream was their favorite part.  Not the Polar Bears playing, the Mountain Goat having a baby or the Tigers (who were procreating).  So much for education when ice cream is involved.  Here she is being "cool".

Our Spring and early Summer has been a wet one!  It has been hard to get riding lessons in but we have. Shea is doing a great job with Buster this year.  She has grown so much that she is in a new saddle.  Plus, she can do most of getting Buster prepped for riding and putting him back in his stall by her self.  Good thing as her instructor is pregnant!  There is even talk of Shea doing an open show this year.  We'll keep you posted.

In May we also participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Columbus.  It was an amazing site.  I can not even describe to you in words the emotions you feel after seeing the sea of pink.  From young to old, all walks of live and the magnitude of how many people have been touched by cancer.  I had promised the kids pink wigs if they did the walk.  Thanks to the power of Amazon, some arrived and they love them!

Again, still learning this MAC and how to use it and this picture won't move up!  This is Shea and her teacher, Mrs. Beachy.  Shea had all of her class mates sign this poster during Art class and they presented it to their teacher at the ice cream party.  Mrs. Beachy, they all love you!

We hosted a Father's Day celebration at our house.  It was a cool and off and on again rainy kind of day.  We still grilled out and a few brave soles went out on the boat to ski.  I can not believe this but this is the only photo I took that whole day.  What on earth was I thinking??

I promise to get better at updating.  Last night we went to a drive-in to see Cars 2.  I have a few pictures to share.  Hope you are enjoying your summer!!!
