Latta Plantation Equestrian Center

Hi all! I went to a horse show today at Latta Plantation Park. The leaves have already began changing and the scenery there was gorgeous! I've rode there once before but I had forgotten how nice it is there. I enjoyed myself a whole lot today and for once, got to get in on the action a bit. Here a few pictures from the show... Hope you enjoy them!





Horse and Hiker trails. See the leaves!?


Racheal walking Copper in the early morning



A few riders making last minute adjustments to their riding gear before heading to the main arena.



A beautiful Friesian gelding showing his moves


Yes I was quite captured by this guy... :-)



Elaine and Racheal watching one of Elaine's students ride a test.



Doing a leg yield.







Racheal's halt and salute on Copper.



Just a random shot but I love the way his mane is here!



A gorgeous pony that, at first, I thought was an andalusian cross...




The same pony in it's stall.

Murray's Mill 2008

I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to this year. I was more intent on spending time with friends and forgot about the camera. But I did manage to get a few pictures. Here they are... No editing. :-S



Ben Cockman running the soundboard for the Edwards.



The Edwards Family Band. Minus Elizabeth who had to be somewhere else that day.




Arwen watching the tape table... So cute.




The crowd and part of the Boerger family listening to the Edwards play.

Wedding Shower

Hi all! Here's some pictures from Friday night. Amanda, Sonya, and Jeanette hosted a wedding shower for Kendra Davis. There was a great turnout and Kendra got a lot of things from her registry. Thanks to all those who came out for an evening of fun. We all had a great time! Oh... and the pictures? Ever wondered how often we point at things? This is a special post just for pondering. Have a nice day!



Jeanette explaining how to play "Name that price" and who's team we were all on.




Kendra pointing at something... I think it was Sonya. lol




Sonya telling everyone that Rebecca and I didn't count as part of the players because I was photographing and Becca was babysitting. lol




Sis. Pauletta pointing at Mom while she's explaining something.




Bro. Glenn's mom pointing while she tells a story...


And last but not least, Congratulations Kendra and Steven!

Update from me!

Well, this will probably be the last post for this week. I'm going to the groomers tomorrow, getting some last minute stuff done for Saturday and then hitting the hay so-to-speak. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! And if you're not doing anything Saturday, you should stop by and see me! Melissa Cockman and I are setting up a photography booth at Murray's Mill this Saturday. http://www.catawbahistory.org/murrays_mill_harvest_folk_festival.php The festival starts at 10 AM and ends at 5PM. Hope to see you there!




Here's some pictures from a photo shoot I did Monday.

Fun Times!

Hi guys! I was on the downstairs computer today and decided to go through some pictures from a few years ago. It's amazing how much can change in just 3 years! I pulled out a few of the pictures that brought a smile to my face when I seen them....





I was over at Melissa and Ben's house one evening with Michael. Just a regular jigger evening! At about 10:00, Melissa and I decide to make pancakes. Well... Why not make BLUEBERRY pancakes while we're at it? Neither one of us had tried it before but there's always a first right??Above is our very first attempt at blueberry pancakes... Now you can decide for yourself. Did we do a good job? Or should I say, "Can you tell what it is?" Hey, stop laughing!




MIA: Last seen bouncing off the walls... And then trying to fix them back.
Just kidding! This is Elijah helping me remove my wallpaper border so I could repaint my room. Being a nut as always!




Bet you'll never guess the story behind this picture!! This was taken at a girls sleep-over. Still can't guess? A bunch of us slept in the living room floor and before we went to sleep, decided to spice it up a bit. We went around the neighborhood friends collecting stringed lights and then proceeded to do the most EXTREME living room makover ever! I still remember it perfectly! It had an incredible effect once the lights were out!





A hiking trip? Sure enough! Me and Michael went hiking somewhere... I can't remember where, and along the trail this guy was showing some people his bird. (Why he had brought it hiking up the side of a mountain, I don't know) I don't much care for birds. I didn't like this one either. lol Michael held him first though and I eventually gave in and held him also. I went to pet him (Reaching around behind of course--I wasn't getting near that beak of his) and he tried to bite me!! The guy said he had a personality and that he wouldn't let anyone pet him unless they come from in front. It took a lot of nerve, but I tried it that way and he was a happy little camper then. Cute bird! But I still don't care for them. :-S





hahaha! This picture cracks me up every time I see it. Partly because I was suffering from insufficient oxygen. Partly because of the look on my face.
I was a bridesmaid two years ago at Jana and Caleb's wedding. The bridesmaid dress was beautiful! That's all I have good to say about it... When I had the dress fitted the fitting lady told me I wore a size 2. I was like, "There's no possible way..." So I got a size 4. Should have been enough extra room to work with right? Well, a size 4 fit perfectly. If I weighed 1 ounce more it would have been too tight. Well, guess what comes after the wedding? You guessed it! The reception. Guess what happens at a reception? You eat! In this picture I was slowly figuring out that my dress fit a teeny bit too snug... Thus the insufficient oxygen part of my problem, and that peculiar look on my face.
