Remembering the past part 2

Fortunantly I have 2 moms to write about. I am going to write about my step mom today. This challenge i challenged people to do is very hard, there are so many memories. It is hard to just pick one. This one memory i am going to write about happened about 2 years ago. I think i was in SLC for my bridals. By the way was an amazing experience and i thank Benita for it. She made my bridal fun and very memorable. thank you for doing that for me. Benita had asked me if i wanted to register any where for the wedding and i had not really thought about it. She told me that it would be a good idea just because there are certain things you may want and if there is a list of things then people can choose something from your list instead of trying to guess what your style is or what you like.. so i decided to do it. So we decided to register at target! (love target) after my bridals, Benita, Aryn and I headed to target. We registered and they gave me this scanner gun and said you can scan what ever you want to. I was like sweet.. we all set off to go through everything and scan everything... I remember just having a blast not only with Aryn but Also with Benita. We would scan something way out of the ordinary and would just laugh about it. It was fun becuase not only were we acting like kids but benita was having fun to.. She would find things to scan and then laugh about it. We were in target for a couple hours. it was so fun to be able to something like this with a mom. i had a blast... it was fun because it was a whole day as the girls no worries about the boys. it was just us girls. starting in the morning with hair and make up then bridals,laughing at poses i was doing and then shopping. it was a very good day and very memorable. Benita is a wonderful and caring person. She is always there when you want to talk or need advice. She has been in our lives going on 22 years this june. She is not just a step mom she is more than a step mom. I just want her know how thankful i am for having her in my life and being there for me as a mom and a friend. Thank you for all you do. thank you for making that day really special to me.

Remembering the past challenge

I am challenging every one to post a memory from the past about a time you spent with not only your family but your MOM... Something you will remember for ever! i had a hard time thinking of just one good memory.

I remember back when us kids were little, mom would pack us in the car and we would head to subway... Mom would order a huge sandwhich that had lots of things on it. Yuummm. We then would all pack in to the white convertable car and head up the canyon. All the boys usually sat in the back, and i got to sit in the front with mom. Mom would have the top down and we would jam ou to the music. Usaully Indian music or Roxette(by the way i still listen to Roxette). It seemed like we would go around the twists and bends super fast(heck we were kids we thought we were driving way fast) and one of my brothers hated it. it was like you would hit one of the turns and you look over the edge of the road and was like you were going to fall over... We would end up stopped at a little meadow in the canyon, and eat our lunch and we would play for awhile. This one time we stopped at this meadow and there was this pond i remember we sat under a tree to eat and out in the middle of the pond was a moose. it was so awesome. when we were done we would head back down the canyon and head home, hoping for another adventure to come with mom. Mom took us for rides all the time it was so much fun and i will always remember the times we all spent together in the past. Mom always tried to make things fun for us kids, instead of spending tonz of money that she didnt have we would do simple things like go for rides and adventures... I am very grateful to my mom for everything she has done for us kids. We went through some rough times in our lives but mom was always by our sides to her best ability. Thank you mom for everything and i love you... I will def. be writing more about our child hood memories, there is more to come.

my new horse

so we have been riding this horse to see if we want to buy him, he is such a good horse. he is so pretty and is the horse i have always wanted! he is a quarter horse and is palamino. very beautiful. about 8 or 9 years. cole just loves him. we are going to give the owner an offer so hopefully they take it and i will have my self a new horse. i will post pictures of him in next coupl of days.....

my horse

so last year in may cole took my horse and his horse out west with him on his big desert trip. he goes out west for 5 days. they go out and camp, look for wild horses and try to ride with the heards of mustangs. this horse was my very first horse. she was not the best, she was moody, stubborn. pretty much everything that a female is. she had very bad habbits from a previous owner and we had spent countless hours working with her. i had her going so good. her attitudes were not as bad and she was coming around. well cole took her out there so he could ride the heck out of her and get her over not being able to leave other horses. 2 days past i was getting hubby sickness 3days past and i could hardley sleep at night and then here was day 4 and i kept telling my self one more day. then all of a sudden i hear a truck pull up and a horse winny. i look out and to my relief there he was! i was so thrilled i ran out side to see him. but he didnt look so happy i open the truck door and he looks very upset... i ask him what is wrong and why was he home a day early. he then begins to tell me what happened. he said he was sorry but he had to leave my horse OUT WEST!!! that something happened and she couldnt make it. then i look in the trailer to see if this had been true. i started to cry. i was so sad i had worked so hard with her and now she was gone in just a few days. had i known she wouldnt have been coming home i would of said my good byes. so he tells me that one of his friends needed a horse to ride so he offered for him to ride mine. they went for a ride all day and he took it easy with her. well that night she would not eat and would not drink. cole knew something was wrong, she just wanted to lay down. cole took her out of the correl and started to walk her. knowing she probably had a gut ache. she then started to fight around with him trying to roll. so one of our good friends got some medicine and gave her a shot. well she was hurting so bad she ended up getting away from cole and ran away. cole tried to track her down but it was very dark and late. he got up the next morning and went and tried to find her. figuring she would be back. well he came up to a wash and found her laying there. she had passed away. so he went to her and barried her as best as he could. every one was so upset. he said he was so sorry i told him things happen and some times there is nothing you can do about them but your best. it took awhile to be ok with it. we sure do miss having her around....she is probably up in horse heaven eating all she wants running and bucking. and having a hay day.. RIP missy
