Little Cowgirl

On Saturday I got to spend some time with Livy at the Horse Show.

Here Livy and Aunt Susan are practicing for the show.

I love this little girl!!!

Livy found a miniature horse to pet.

Here's my little cowgirl all dressed up for the show.

Aunt Susan got these cute matching shirts for her and Olivia to wear for the show.

Livy loves Lexie, her pony.

The show begins!

Livy is happy with her blue ribbon!

Livy asked permission to ride the miniature horse, and she really enjoyed that!

Melissa And Ross Are Engaged!!

 We are very happy to announce the engagement of Melissa to Ross Moore!

Here's the beautiful ring!
