A Crazy Week

 The last four days have been CRAZY busy!

 It started in Thursday with a visit to the Disney Immersive Experience for Alex's Birthday. It was really fun and the kids enjoyed it quite a bit. 

Friday the kids continued celebrating Alex's birthday by going to see the new Transformers Movie in the theater. 

Saturday was Maddy's in house horse show. I posted about it on Facebook, but for those who aren't on Facebook this is what I shared. Yesterday was another amazing horse show at Poco Vista Ranch. If you looked strictly at results you could conclude that it wasn’t Maddy’s best show. But I would beg to differ. The unique thing about Horse Back Riding is that you are not judged solely on your performance. You are relying on a partner who weighs 1000 pounds to also do their best. Yesterday PD chose not to be the easiest horse. What I witnessed was the tiniest rider with a huge heart and a new found confidence who used every bit of her skill and determination to will her horse to cooperate. I am so proud of Maddy for never quitting and knowing that at the end of the day the color of your ribbon does not determine the level of success.

Yesterday was Maddy's dance recital. She has come so far. Since January she has been participating in tap as well as ballet. She is learning so much and really enjoying it. I love watching her confidence grow. I am so grateful to all the women who pour into her and remind her that she can do anything!

We are hoping for a quieter week this week before we head out to visit Mimi and PopPop!
