The house is coming right along and garage is also now fully painted and windows installed.. it is looking so much better. Today the shingles on side of house up at gables are coming down and wood will be going back up.. Chris is doing such a good job!

The colt Survie is doing so good its looking much better and he is such a firecracker... I took these on 26Th..

First Day Of Preschool

Well we (I had to leave in a not so tear free manner on first day) made it through first week and he loved it!! These pictures are from first day and he was one excited boy..

House & Injured Foal Updates

Well next pictures after these will be of completely painted house YEA!! These are of the house painted without the foundation painted yet, it is done now today and I will be getting pictures soon.. In next post I will put from start to finish pictures as its such a huge change it will be neat to see them all in a row..





Today after his cleaning and meds I wanted to get a picture since he lost alot of the dead skin.. I went to get my camera and it was dead of course so these are cell phone pictures.. I took them after the red med went on so its really red but that's not blood its dark red coloring of the spray that keeps fly's off... Anyhow he is feeling so good he is a terrible handful he has had enough of all this and tries his darnedest to kick at any chance so its been fun.. The other side of neck looks equally as bad but its is looking really nice when I get done hosing it out everytime.. I've had some pretty nasty horse wounds over time this rates right up there but looks likes its healing faster than many I've dealt with and not sure if being up on neck is the reason for the faster looking healing but its so hopeful to see it look so good at cleaning time and with his attitude he acts very healthy and he is staying firm and eating well.. Mom is not reacting poorly in fact we take her out and my friend Diana is learning horse handling by helping and she has been holding mare outside of pen for me.. Mom never even reacts at all, just eats grass like its going out of style LOL... Anyhow update hope to get better pictures in few days.. It looks much bigger now that all the dead skin fell off...

A Deck In Progress -- Kent & Bobbi's

OK I'm usually doing all this about my hubby, kids, or critters.. Well I've been watching Kent & Bobbi's deck going up and its so neat I have to share.. I'm dying to see it done as are they I'm sure.. Like everyone kids and work keep house remodeling going at a snails pace but this is just sprung to life and looks awesome as well.. Someday I hope we can do a deck as there just looks like so much fun.. Well anyhow I'm sharing and will send another picture when its done..

Bobbi is my husbands sister and of course Kent is her husband.. They are both wonderful and I'm so happy they are getting this up! Only thing I'm afraid I might see Kent's motorcycle on it someday LOL..

Home From Vets..

Hinny

Home from vet. Well Survi(new colt) came home today after 6 days.. He is looking so much bouncing and full of himself since his injury.. He had surgery to open and drain the neck wounds but the skin will continue to slough off and he will loose quite a bit of it so a long healing process is in store for us and hopefully he has the luck to fight of any infections and heal completely.. So it will be a long time of hydro therapy and meds.. Here are picture I took right off trailer from vets they look so yucky but he is certainly feeling better as he is now hard to handle as he wants to run play and stay away from us getting sprayed with the wound spray..

IA Trip

Well we had a fun weekend. Tom and his dad took Tucker and I to go look at combine heads in IA.. They bought a new combine so a head is also needed to complete the combine for harvest.. We left Sat and spent the night in Council bluffs, IA then drove to Creston and Lenox to look at 2 of them.. They like the one in Creston so we stayed night and loaded it up Monday and drove 15 hours to get it home as its a slow moving set up.. It was fun and we had great time.. And I think hubby and his dad are excited to have it as well..

So Sleepy

Went to check on the new colt at vets today before they do surgery and he was plum tired.. I was able to get this picture with out disturbing him as he looked so content I didn't want to wake him... His neck wound looked so much bigger which was expected but it looked so sore I felt terrible for him.. They have him on pain killers so he's probably not in much pain I hope.. Hopefully after the surgery he starts looking/feeling better and he may be able to come home Monday they said if all goes well..
