Will catch you up quickly with latest photos. Have spent Fourth of July in Ruidoso and we have been doing really well at races. Things are definitely looking up! Home for 2 nights then we were off to SPI. Having a great time. Drake LOVES the beach. We spend the entire morning there.

Finally, some pictures! We are busily moving into our new home. Will work on those pictures next. Here are our deer friends. I bet they miss us! We are heading back to Ruidoso next week, everyone come stay for July 4th.

i will attempt, again, to update this thing. Our internet service is not that great here, and it is difficult. We are having a great time. We had two races on the Friday before Memorial Day. Won third in one but not quite fast enough to qualify for finals. It rained all day and was a muddy mess. We're very lucky no one was hurt. We had the family here and many great friends. We saw Joe Nichols in concert and Micah played golf at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. We love our house, have put finishing touches on the barn, tried out the hot tub, and we have a few great deer friends we feed outside. They are so friendly, let Drake almost walk within touching distance. We have a race on Friday and then I will be heading to Dallas and Micah and Drake to Midland where I will meet them on Sunday. We are going to Llano to move into the new house!!

Drake loves watching the horses run! As well as the tractors that come immediately after.
