Horse girl is back!
.
I finally got back into showing! I have to say that I don't think I realized how much I really missed it. I did two shows, and I'm sorry for not posting about the first one. I know everyone was dying to see it. But then Holly beat me too it. I just want to say thank you to my family for going and supporting me. It really meant a lot. Tyler was the best groom a girl could ask for! Here is my beautiful and talented horse.
Isn't she cute! Her name is Sanka and she IS the Wonder Pony! That would be Mom's hat on her head. You can have your kids pull on this horses ears, pull her hair, poke her nose, and she doesn't even care. I have laid down and fallen asleep on the back of this horse. I got a first place on the first show I did in South Jordan, then I just did my first full event in Ogden, in which I came in second. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait for the season to start next year!

Be Proud!!

Our kitchen is a mess!

So we had a unnatural amount of tomatoes in our garden this year. I think Tyler fed them some radioactive green slime or something. :) Someone had the brilliant idea to make salsa since we were also growing peppers. So that is how my kitchen was turned into a disaster zone!


Once we got everything chopped up, it was actually kind of fun! Until we found out that since we had put garlic into our salsa that we had to put it into a pressure cooker. We figured this out after we already did that bath thing. So we are heating them up again. Mom gave us this awesome recipe from a lady at her work and it's really good. I just hope that it's not going to explode on us! It's steaming pretty hard right now.



Check out our ghetto stove! So we have been doing this since five o'clock this evening. It's now 9:30. But there is an end in sight! Tyler just said it's going to be about 45 mins now! Yeah! I feel like little Sally Homemaker. I made a whole bunch of Zucchini bread last night and now I'm canning! Wish us luck!
