This video is not as impressive as the others since it is done on a home recorder and it is not in as high up of levels as the others but I love frissons and it is enjoyable to watch this horse preform.

And make sure you turn off my playlist.

This horse preformed the same night as Andreas but we are not sure weather it was before or after. This horse has a lot of grace and talent but I still like Andreas' dressage better, she had more spunk and playfulness. I hope y'all enjoy.

NOTE: Turn off my playlist music

Andreas Helgstrand

This horse is amazing! We found this video a long time ago but had forgotten about it till today when my sister thought of it again and we both agreed that it just had to go on the blog!

I dare anyone to try and dance as good as this horse. I hope y'all enjoy it.

I am finished!

I am now done with the puppy I was making!!!

He is not quite as good as the first one I made for

Cromwell but I am fairly happy with the way he came out.

  

The legs were the hardest part I could not get them to go on the way I wanted :)

Guess if you can

Ok, how many of y'all can guess what it is that I am in the proses of making? I am missing two small parts of it but it should not make much of a difference as they just might make it harder having more things in there.

When I am done I will post another picture so y'all can find out the answer.

Tagged

Wow! Not only have I been tagged again but I am combining two tags! Thanks to Sierra and Madison for tagging me.

Ok so for the first I am to try and think up six things that I have learned in the last month. (Has anyone noticed that even if the tags are different they generally have something to do with six?)

Here we go...

I learned...Playing ping pong to swing music can be a lot of fun!

I learned...I can come close to doing as good as my brothers playing Ghost Recon MP.

I learned...Trying to keep your hair dry while watching four little boys in the pool does not work.

I learned...That my cat really does have some use after all.

I learned...How to rap the horses leg with the new medication.

I learned...That Calvin being gone for three days wasn't such a bad deal. JK :)

Ok now for the really REALLY long part...

I am: Shy with people I don't know and way to talkative with those I do.

I know: More then some but a whole lot less then most.

I have: Lots and lots to thank God for.

I wish: That the East can come down here for Thanksgiving, the Candlers come down sometime (or me be able to go up to see them) and that my family can make it up to Virgina next year.

I hate: Hmmm...depends on my mood and what I am doing; for instance right now I might say that math is fine and I kind of like it, ask me when I have been staring at my books for three hours (or after my brother has been telling us at the dinner table all the joys of math and physics) and you might get another answer. :) I also hate it when the font of your post get really really huge for no reason. (second part written after fixing the said hated thing twice. (make that three times.))

I miss: All my friends that have moved away and left me and those that I met in Virgina.

I fear: That this post is going to take me a long time to do.

I feel: Like asking my brother and sister who are home right now if they want to play some ping pong (it is in the living room right now so it is easy to get to)

I hear: Music my sister put on in the background a timer going off and my sister doing something with dishes in the kitchen.

I smell: Crasins there is a bag of them next to me

I crave: I don't know

I search: for a answer to this odd question :)

I wonder: What we are going to do for lunch since our last plan was foiled

I regret: More things then I like to remember

I love: Lots of things but most of all my Lord and Savior

I am not: the type of girl that has to have makeup and nail polish on all the time in fact I rather dislike both.

I believe: Christ Jesus is Lord and in control over all now and forever.

I dance: Whenever I get the chance

I sing: At Church, with my family, and whenever I think no one can hear or I forget that someone else is in the room.

I cry: Not very often but I do every now and then.

I don't always: Remember to get the eggs every night (in fact I very often forget)

I fight: When I think I am right. (most the time it is more of dessication weather a quote was this or that and also I am most of the time wrong)

I write: Less then I should as any one of my friends could tell you.

I win: Very rarely

I lose: Most of the time it seems to be the only thing I am really good at.

I never: Want to have to live in a big city.

I always: Forget what I am supposed to be doing and start doing or thinking something else.

I confuse: Myself and everyone around me.

I listen: Very well when I am not supposed to know what my siblings are talking about and sometimes not so well when I am supposed to.

I can usually be found: In my bedroom sleeping, reading, or doing my school. (and just about in that order too)

I need: My Lord God and Savior

I am happy about: Getting a new CD last week

I imagine: Too many things for my own good.

Wow! that was a long one I think if this part has anything to do with six it would be that it has sixty questions.

Okay, I now tag:

1. Johanna
2. Sierra
3. Savannah
4. Hannah
5. Madison
6. Robert
7. Yeoryia

Note: If you have already been tagged by one or both parts of this tag you by no means need feel obligated to redo it.

The Texan~

P.S Sorry it took me so long to get this done.

What do y'all think?

Well I got a wild hair and started playing with the templates and I found this, what do y'all think?
I do not know however if I will keep it because as you can see by going to some of my post like my latest one with my cat that it has messed up were the writing should be in reference to the picture. So this could be very temporary.

The Adventures Texan~

I Have been tagged again!

Actually twice I at one time but since it is the same thing I will just do one post.

I have been tagged by Savannah and Lauren.

These are the new rules.

The idea of the tag is to look in your pictures folders. Find folder #6 picture #6 and post. We do not categorize our folders by number, but this is one picture I found that might pass as a "folder six", "sixth" picture.

 

Now some of you will now when this was taken and were. :) For those who don't I will give you a hint two of the people in the picture are the same who tagged me.

Now I shall tag

1. Sierra

And I think everyone else I know have been tagged so I shall not re-tag.

The Texan~

A few new things.

I have added a few things to my blog that I would like to draw to y'all's attention. One is that I now have some songs on my playlist with words and I want to know from y'all if I should keep the or not. The other is that as I am sure y'all have noticed by now I have added a friends test also.
This shall end my short and perhaps pointless post.

The Crazy Texan~

My Cat.

About this time last year was when I first found my cat MacGyver as a little screaming kitten in the front bushes who was terrified of everything!

Last night when we brought in our ladder to do fall decorations and he started to climb on it we realized that the last time he had climbed on it was when he was a cute little kitten so here are

 just some pictures of my cat enjoying our ladder.

When he was a few months old.

I dare you to come and get me!

I am the ruler of the world.

What is that down there?

I am so cute.

Wow how many more pictures

are you going to take?

Ok, don't y'all think that was plenty.

                                            

                                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~   

One year latter.....

maybe not quite as cute but he is still dearly loved.

But he can still give some pretty odd looks.

Alright how do I get down from here?

Click on this one and look at his 

face he looks like a mountain lion.

 

(really I think he was crying)

Update on Star.

I think most of you remember that last June my sister's horse Star got her leg hung in some barbed weir and had exposed three inches of bone and had severed a tendon.

Well since then Star ha

s been at our house and we have been doctoring her although it has been a very long and disappointing time because instead of getting better over theses months of doctoring her she has gotten even worse and the wound has grown, *UGH* the problem we are having is with the proud flesh that keeps wanting to grow we it is awful she has over the months she has had two surgeries which is very disheartening because every time she has a surgery it means that the last two months of work was completely worthless, but now I have some good news we have finally found a cream that seems to be working the proud flesh is just melting off which means not only is it getting much better but since this cream 

melts it instead of eating at it the wound no longer drips blood and has a rotten smell to like it has for so long. So we are greatly rejoicing that this new stuff is working so well. 

Here is a picture so you can get a idea of what the wound looks like.

You might notice that the wounded leg is swollen about twice the size of the other leg this swelling has been like that all these months and sometimes even more swollen then it is there. It so sad to see how much Star has had to suffer but at least she is healing and we praise God for that.

The Texan~

Tagged again!

I am have been tagged again! :)
This time I was tagged by Savannah who has spiced it up a bit. :)
So here is the new version...

What was the last movie you watched? I do not remember the name and I do not wish to it was pretty dumb.

If you could live any were in the world were would it be? Texas!!! and if it had to somewhere other then my beloved state I live now most likely Virgina. But I also love Scotland and Ireland and would like to live in one of them only it is a long way from the rest of my family so will just settle for going there on a long visit someday. :)

Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility? Pride and Prejudice!

Skirts or pants? I love both and will generally switch between them according to the circumstances.

Would you rather sing or play a instrument? Play a instrument. (I can not sing!)

Love or hate roller coasters? A few months ago I would not have been able to tell you since I had not been on any, but since then our friends the East took my brothers and I to Six Flags and I can now say "I LOVE THEM!"



Well I gave six random things about me last time I was tagged so I will try and think of a few more but do not count on it coming out to six.

1. When I was little my mom once actually had to tell me that I had to eat my stake before I could have more broccoli! I just loved broccoli back then. (I still do but not more then stake)

2. I used to think that leaves changing colors in the fall was a complete fairy tale. (It just never happens down here.)

3. I used to be afraid to do anything on the computer without help because I was just sure I was going to crash it.

4. I used to think I was going to be a great gymnast. (big dilution.)

5. I do not want to go to college!

6. My brain is fried so I can not think of another thing to write but if I do I will post it in a comment on this post.

Alright now for a picture...

My cat used to love to sleep in the sink or my mom and dad's bath tub for some wired reason.

This has been a lot of fun I hope y'all do not mind to much that my last two post have been so much alike.

Here are the new rules for this.

Post the rules on your blog
Answer the six questions asked
Write six random things about yourself
Post a favorite picture
Tag around six people
Link to the person who tagged you
Leave comments on their blogs to let them know they've been tagged.

Now I am going to tag....

1. Madison
2. Jennifer
3. Johanna
   

And think everyone ells I know has already been tagged with this so I will not go through the ritual again but y'all know I would if y'all had not already been taken. :)
Thank you Savannah for coming up with a new version.

The Texan~

It seems people have got the tagging bug! :D I have been tagged by Hannah!

So here it goes.

1. I am the youngest of five children.
2. I used  to look on the chickens I raised almost as my children. *embarrassed*
3. I now have a cat named MacGyver but is more commonly known as evil cat.
4. I love to crochet and am working on a scarf and a blanket right now.
5. I really enjoy reading. (I have just started Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.)
   
6. I am also an Aunt at age fourteen.

Alright now these are the rules I am going to tag several people preferably six I believe and they are supposed to link to my blog give six facts about themselves and tag six more people leaving comments on there blogs telling them that they have been tagged.

I think I got the rules right you can look at Madison's or Hannah's blog to double check.

Now I am going to tag:

1. Sierra
2. Savannah
3. Jennifer
4. Martinez Family i.e Jo
5. Lauren

And I think that is all I can think of who might do it I could do my brother and I would but I don't think he would like it much. :)

I hope y'all enjoy!

The Texan~

P.S Anyone I tagged does not have to do this if they don't want to and if you have been tagged  already by someone ells no problem you only need to do one. :)

Day on the town!

Thursday my sister Jo has piano lessons and since she and I are generally the only ones home, when she goes it is my day to be alone at home. But today things were a bit different and I went in with her and my other sister Jen picked us up before the lesson for some shopping! Now most the time I HATE shopping! But this type of shopping is a bit different. :) After getting Jo and I, all three of us headed off to join forces with Grandma and go hit one of our favorite resale shops! :) We had a lot of fun there since today they had the dollar table and a 70% off rack so we got to go through every thing and get some nice skirts and blouses. Jo also got a beautiful dress for her Irish piano recital that is coming up. While us three girls went through all the racks looking for bargains Grandma greatly enjoyed herself sitting with Cromwell and letting all the ladies in the store gather round and say what a adorable grandson she had, Cromwell was just praised to the sky. (and I might add that all of it was with a firm foundation he is the cutest!) Once we left the shop it was time to take Johanna to her lesson and once there Cromwell once again was told how cute and adorable he was by Jo's teacher. :) After dropping Jo off grandma, Jen, Cromwell, and I went to have lunch with grandpa and daddy.? Then Jen and I took grandpa and grandma home and stayed with them till it was time to get Jo again two hours latter. (She gets really long lessons because she is her teachers favorite and because she is so advanced in her music.) Once Jo was collected we dropped Cromwell off at his Nana's house then Jo and I were dropped off at dad's work and Jennifer had to go to the dentist and that ended our day out on the town. We had a lot of fun thx Jen for taking Jo and I around with you we really enjoyed it!
