Of course he wanted me to make his cake as all the kids do!
This is the card I made him.
Reading my card before he opens the present from us.
Good thing Vanessa gave me what he wanted. Don't you just love his expression. He's like this with nearly every gift he receives!
It's a soft pellet gun.
He got some other gifts too. Vanessa had a "taco bar". Keannon's mom was there and Vanessa's brother Jacob, his wife Alyssa and son Barrett. We had a good time.
Have a good one!
She plays first base and sometimes right field.
She gets a hit.
This at bat she got on base because she took a ball to her helmet!
Kashton made the free throw.
Kashton scores.
Have a good one!

Vanessa's post on Facebook:
I've been treating Fancy for a limping issue for months. I thought we were finally on the mend when the limping started again. Bottom line....when I saw her on the morning of February 8th I knew this was the end. Something happened overnight that caused her to injure herself beyond fixing. She was in great pain and could hardly walk.
I took her to the vet and he confirmed what I already knew. I had to put her down. She was 18. Losing any of my horses was hard but this was the last one. The end of life with horses. You might be thinking, "why not get another horse?" I could, but it really doesn't make sense at this stage of my life and the fact we don't own any land.
I've had horses for most of my adult life. Feeding them twice a day all those years. I feel lost.
I continued to go out to the pasture twice a day for about a month to continue feeding the cats. I talked with my horse neighbors who graciously said they would take them on to feed.
I am thankful for the time I had with her. Even though I am grieved, I believe God has something else for me. Something good. For now though, I shed tears easily.
She attended Mineral Wells High School Coronation Saturday January 25th. This event has been happening for over 90 years! It's a much bigger deal than prom! All the kids get dressed up. It is so fun to watch them gathering to take pictures in their formal affair.
Vanessa let me know that Kennedy would be at the Crazy Water Hotel to take pictures at 4pm. I did get a sneak peak of the dress when Vanessa took Kennedy shopping last weekend.
Isn't she beautiful?!
Here is a back view.
Mom didn't feel like getting out so Vanessa took Kennedy by for her to see.

Kennedy and Vanessa.
Geez, who is that old lady?! 😏 I wished I had thought about what I was wearing and changed before I went.
Kennedy's date! Vanessa says he's a great kid. He and Kennedy are the same age and share the same birthday!
I'm sure there are more pictures to come.
Have a good one!
We had our first stint of winter weather January 9th and 10th. The Meteorologists were predicting 2-4 inches for us. I've learned that winter weather is very hard to forecast. All the right variables have to come together. January 9th started out with sleet and 32 degrees. It did change over to snow but the temperature rose to 33 and stayed there until nightfall. It rained nearly all day. So instead of the fluffy white stuff our snow was liquid. I was a bit bummed. Many communities around us got several inches.
This is what the horse pasture looked like.
This is the wooded area next to the horse pasture.
Have a good one!
She looks so natural behind the wheel!
Her daddy has been taking her practice driving for about a year so she is ready.
Have a good one!
