Rigg rides a pony named Tucker

Life has been busy.

I think business is par for the course with 2 boys under 3 who run everywhere and climb on everything... 

thinking about it makes me tired

Anyway...life, busy...

and we have been going,going,going... to the zoo, to the children's museum, to the pool, to papaw and mamaw's and pops and mimi's and the park...

and to ride a pony for the first time!

So there are these wonderful people Mr. and Mrs. J, who for lack of a better description, love us.
Oh how they love us...

They let Andy and I have our wedding reception at their house, they were generous beyond belief toward us when Caden died, and now they give of their time to give Rigg his first pony ride...

Awesome.

(blurry pic taken on phone...however if you look close enough you not only will see Riggs doubt being mounted on a moving pony and Ryder's curiosity about his brother's large hairy seat, but the fact that my mom and I are wearing the same shoes...)

So Mr. and Mrs. J live super close to my parents, and part of their horse pasture borders my parents yard. We often take the boys to see the horses and feed them apples. Rigg loves it... and always runs down to the fence even when the horses are not out.

However last Thursday...(I am so far behind on keeping up with my own life) we went to see Mr. J and Tucker.

Rigg was a bit hesitant at first but really warmed up. I am so thankful for families who love on us and give us gifts like time and pony rides.... what an awesome blessing!

Oh, and Ryder was there too...but you couldn't stop the boy from running his chubby legs off. Wide open spaces are Ryder's favorite!(as are dirt, sticks, creeks, rocks, and making his mother run and sweat... all of which was available and happening at this point in time...little boy heaven.)
