Revised Story - Imaginary Trip to Disney World

One day me, my sister Stevie, my horse Bell, and her horse Camanchy traveled to Disney World with a blue wagen with a bed in it hooked to the horses.  We went by a pasture with nothing in it so Stevie and I opned the gate and rode the horses into the pasture.  Then I stoped the horses in front of the gate and unhooked them so they could grayz the tall green grass and run around for a little bit.  After a while I yelled "Bell, Camanchy, time to go!" so they hurried to us and Stevie and I hooked them back to the wagen.  Stevie opned the gate and drove the horses out.  I stoped to let Stevie hop on and we rode all the way to Disney World.

When we got there we droped off the blue wagen but when we got there it was about twelve o'clock am so we kwickly rode the horses to the stable and put them in a pin that was in the stable.  After that we fed them and gave them water.  Next we went back to the wagen to get our stuff.  When we were done we ran to our hotel room and put on our pj's, brushed our teeth, went potty, got in bed, and went to sleep for the night for a big day of rideing back to Pine Hollow.

The next day we got up, put our bathrobes on, ran to feed and water the horses and back to the hotel to get dressed, pack our sutcases, and checed out.  We went out to the wagen and put our stuff in it.  Then Stevie and I went to get the horses and Stevie put Camanchy's saddle on but I purpisly did not bring Bell's saddle because I was going to ride Camanchy insted of Bell because Camanchy is stronger than Bell is.  So we hooked the horses to the wagen.  Next Stevie hoped in the wagen and I got on Camanchy's back.  After that we were off.  We did go by the pasture again but we did not stop this time because we were almost to the barn.  We were happy to know it was Pine Hollow.

Everybody came running up to us, including the owner of the barn.  They were asking "how was it Lisa, how was it Stevie?"  We said "it was fine" then they asked how Bell and Camanchy actid and we said "fine" again.

Fort worth

Stock Show time. Here is Natalie with the cattle and specifically, her bull calf, Duke (aka Montego Bay). The show is Sunday morning - will update.

What color?

Just curious what color you would call this eye? It Natalie's, eye - and while she spent the first 3 years of her life with "blue eyes", I would certainly say these are *not* blue. But what color ARE they??

What do YOU think?!

Orthodontist Update

(forgive the wild hair - rainy & windy!!)

Natalie had her follow-up with the orthodontist.  Back in September, we began our journey with them.  Natalie had a crowded top jaw and a resulting cross-bite.  As she lost her baby teeth, it was clear that it was going to be a mess as her larger permanent teeth started erupting.

We found a fabulous guy who is very proactive and we were able to start treatment almost immediately.  In October, they placed an expander in her mouth.  We used a "key" to essentially unscrew it each morning and night for a total of 28 turns.

The final result is a jaw that is 7mm wider than when we started and according to our visit this week, has now created plenty of room for her permanent teeth to come in.

For now, our only thing to monitor is her top right front tooth.  He noticed that it's coming in a bit "behind" the left one and said if it's too pronounced, he'd like to just put 2 braces brackets on those teeth and correct that before it gets worse.

Otherwise, we got back in a few months.  The expander is still in her mouth to allow the bones to fuse and maintain the space in there.  Once she has her 4 top teeth in, they will use braces to straighten them out and then put a permanent wire behind them to hold until she's ready for her "real" set of braces at 12-13 years old.

So far, so good - it's made a world of difference already!

Running

 I  did a run today and got hot.  I did two miles (8 laps).  I felt really good when I finished.
