We were pleased to hear that Will did so well on his ARA's for college. He will begin his classes on Wednesday. And because of his score will be starting his core subjects right away. We are very proud of him.

We didn't make it to the show on Saturday. After picking up my mom at the half way point we had some trouble with the van. The rain was coming down in buckets. The water was laying all over the road. It must have been just enough to make my belt slip. We had to pull over and have Will pick us up. Thankfully we were only six miles from home. Will needed the pickup for work the next day so the show was a no go. John made it home on Saturday. A rare treat. He was able to get the belt back on and all is fine now. We have plenty of winter shows to attend.

Yesterday was Crystal's birthday. She is the big 20. Will and Crystal spent the day running around and then had a nice dinner out together. We will have her birthday cake tonight. Mollie and Olivia made chocolate peanut butter cookies for Crystal for her birthday. :)

John was finally able to get to the barn with us yesterday. We took Polly along as well. John and I were watching Liv and Nick in the ring when I heard some water noise behind us in the creek. We turn and look to find Polly swimming. I couldn't get to my camera in time for a photo. It was the cutest thing.

With colder days being here it's hard for Noah. He rides his bike everyday and sometimes it's a bit too chilly for him to wander out. He is sure not liking that.
