horse quiz bowl

reese and some of her friends competed in horse quiz bowl again this year.  they won 

5th place in the county competition.  between the rounds of questions, they found a way to relax...

 they had swing jumping competitions...reese won distance.

 jessie won best form

and m.g. won highest.

they had such a great time together...a wonderful group of girls!

afterwards we went to one of the houses and had a party.  

they thought it would be a good idea

to take a swim in the cold river.

the end of track season

mackenzie finished track season a couple of weeks ago.  this year she competed in four events.

 she furthered her personal best in the triple jump with a distance of 31'3". 

she also ran the 100 hurdles and the 300 hurdles and the mile relay.

simply fondue Christmas dinner

yes, you read that correctly...Christmas dinner.  in lieu of Christmas presents, we 

decided to all go out to a nice restaurant for dinner sometime after the holidays.  

unfortunately, our schedules were so hectic that the end of march was the 

soonest we could do it.  but what a deliciously good time we had!

my little actress

so...mackenzie is also involved in one act play this year.  the play is called "mill on the floss" and she has a significant role as maggie2 and a smaller part as lucy. 

 she never wears make-up, but had to wear make-up and color her hair black for the play

 at their district competition on saturday, mackenzie and her friend both made all-star cast

proud family
