First Day of School

Today was Jolee's first day of Kindergarten at Glen View Elementary. It was very exciting! Her teacher's name is Ms. Lawrence. She came home and said "It was boring." I think she really liked it but wouldn't admit it.
This is also the first week of High School for Jacob. Boy, I'm getting old. Jonah is now in the fifth grade, his last year at Glen View.
We are experiencing a lot of first this year.

Pony Finals 2008 - GOLD

We just returned from Lexington, KY for the Pony Jumper National Championships. Our team from Zone 7 won the GOLD Medal!! It was really a good feeling seeing a gold medal placed around your child's neck. It made all the hard work and money spent well worth it.

Jacob and American Hero were 4th place in the individual competition. That is 4th in the NATION!!!! We were very proud to say the least.

Jacob and Hero have been together for 7 years. American Hero is a wonderful medium chestnut pony that really enjoys his job. He and Jacob make a great match.

We all owe special thanks to Granny and Poppa. We definitely could not have been there without them. Also thanks to Mandy Lockett, Jacob's trainer. He has been with Mandy only 1 1/2 years. She has taught him sooooo much in that short time.

We hope to return to Lexington next year for Pony Finals. It was one of the greatest weeks ever!!
