  2. OMG, it’s a flashback to when you were 3 and the only girl on the soccer team who made a goal! You were trying to impress this little boy who was the ‘star” of the team.

    Carson just came back for overnight camp in Vero Beach.
    This week beginning of horseback riding lessons, the barn is associated with the riding academy of her new school.

    At the end of the month, she starts circus camp (Sarasota is home of the Ringling circus) complete with Big Top
    for a couple of weeks before starting school.

    Then crew starts. Am very busy keeping her busy.
    One more summer of this, then she needs to get a JOB.
    Am actually thinking of looking for a car for her so she can transport herself. One more year before she gets her temps.

Almost done with the exterior! We just have plumbing and electrical and stain the decks, buy a new BBQ… The yard will take a little more time, hopefully not more than a month.

Its so beautiful!

Horse girls

July 1st, 2014 by alex

Sienna and I arrived to pick up Page at Pony Camp and she was out in the paddock riding one of the big horses. She was riding backwards, standing up, and even trotting! She has no fear. Sienna was loudly yelling “Gaga” over and over and she had a great time watching the girls play on the trampoline. I think we have another horse rider in our future…

Its been a bit rough the past week or so, both the girls caught Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. Thankfully its over and Page can attend Pony Camp! She goes all week from 9-2. She was a little nervous this morning when Brendan dropped her off. I am excited to pick her up and she how she liked it!

  1. Wow

  2. Wow doesn’t do it justice. It is spectacular!
    I can breathe the oxygen the trees are given out
    and feel the peace it exudes. It’s a sanctuary.

The garden area is coming along, just a little more fence work, then we add in the planters and irrigation. The steps are coming along, almost to the top and then we need to add a bit more mortar.

Middle deck is going in and then we can finish the siding and paint.

Still waiting on the new front door to finish off the siding and painting on this wall.

Screen Shot 2014-06-23 at 12.08.12 PMWe are hoping for an end of week completion on the exterior of the house and probably still a month off with the landscaping. Now if only I could convince Brendan to get an Endless Pool for the lower deck 🙂

  1. Isn’t the endless pool the Pacific Ocean? Between you and us.
