Introducing Suzie

Here's Sadie's new pony, Suzie! Isn't she adorable! The first time Sadie rode Suzie, was when we first brought her home, and Suzie was a little nervous, but Sadie was crying because she wanted to ride Suzie so bad, so we put Sadie on, and Suzie kind of jumped to the side, so we pulled Sadie off really quick and it scared Sadie enough that she hasn't been on since.

So, I've been riding Suzie (yes, it's very comical) to get her ready for Sadie to ride next year.

Sadie loves to brush, pet and feed Suzie.

Thank you mom and dad for letting us keep Suzie at your house!

Congrats Shawnee!

Yeah! My adorable niece made Drill Team at Westlake High School! Shawnee is the oldest of my 12 nieces and nephews on Drew's side and will be a freshman this fall. We love her fun personality and are so proud of her! Congratulations Shawnee!



P.S. I still have my Purple Pioneer Pride, but for right now...go Westlake!

Deep Thoughts- By Teisha

My deep thought for the day-

I've heard many times that by exercising, you'll have more energy,- but how do you find the energy to exercise in the first place?

"24"

I have to give another farewell, this time it's to "24", the series finale is tonight.

Since Drew and I were married, (and with the help of a DVR,) we have been enthralled with the awesome character of Jack Bauer. He's tortured and killed and maimed any number of people- but always in an effort to protect the good people of America. I know some of the plots have been a little outrageous, and how many times did Jack have to find a hidden bomb? But it's always been exciting and left us dying to see the next episode.

This is the only TV series Drew and I watch, (okay, I sometimes give into the guilty pleasure of Grey's Anatomy once in a while), so we'll no longer have a show, which makes me sad, especially because this has been a long and good tradition for us.

So I hope Jack Bauer finally finds happiness (although it's doubtful), and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for "24", the movie!

Farewell Jazz and Thanks

One more season comes to another sad ending (sigh). Drew and I ended up with awesome tickets to last night's game. (Drew works with someone that's friends with one of the refs- or something like that.) We ended up leaving early in the fourth quarter, and Drew started cheering for the Lakers- you do have to give them credit- they are an awesome team. At least the Jazz gave us a good series against Denver, and I can now sleep instead of staying up late to see the outcome of the games. Thanks Jazz for the big push at the end of the season and exceeding all expectations, and thanks for producing an awesome rookie- Wesley Matthews- my newest favorite player. I'm sorry that the season ended with a sweep- the first ever for the Jazz in a seven game series, but I will still be back cheering for the Jazz next season!

Notes: My Grandpa Smith never misses a Jazz game. I watched Jazz games on his big screen TV at his house ever since I can remember, and for some reason it stuck with me, and I always try to watch their games. I don't even like playing basketball (maybe because I never have), but love to watch it!
