This month in sports, the Broncos blew the Super Bowl, the Olympics came and went, and we had our own downhill events on Woodglen with lots and lots of snow. Lots and lots of snow. Did I mention that it snowed?
After digging out from the snow, we celebrated Harry's 8th birthday. It was wonderful that so many people remembered, and we were able to take a lot of plush animals to Doernbecher's to make things a little brighter for the kids there on Valentine's Day. Lucie also went riding on Harry's birthday, though that probably would have been more successful without the Valentine's Day party at school and the donut afterwards...
I managed to make two quick trips to Phoenix this month. I don't know if either was really worth it, but I did get to see the sun, and on the second one, Hertz set me up with a Mercedes GLK350 and the hotel gave me a two bedroom suite! It was great... I drove from the airport to the hotel - went to sleep - got up - left the hotel - drove to work - and drove to the airport. Not like I get those kinds of perks when I can actually use them.
Lucie rode in her first horse show. She didn't actually compete as she was the only one riding in her class, but she seemed to have a good time (no one tried to make her dress funny or anything) and she did, and Dixie, did well for their first time riding in front of judges. We'll see if she decides to do it again, or if she just wants to ride for the sake of seeing the barn animals.
And, that seems to be it for this month...
 Welcome to the world, Harry. |
 You certainly were. |
 A star at an early age... |
 One of a million smiles... |
 Prince Harry! |
 We miss you, Harry. |
 In Harry's memory, we took a few plush animals to the kids at Doernbecher's. |
 Buttercup is getting really good at taking her toys apart. |
 The birds finally came back to the feeders when we got a little snow... |
 Did I say a little snow? Maybe it was more than a little. |
 After playing in the snow there's nothing like a little hot chocolate... What? You thought I was drinking coffee?! |
 I'm ready for Mt Hood and a real snow board! |
 Or maybe we can make tag team mogul sledding an Olympic sport! |
 Bleak or beautiful - it is all a matter of perspective (and I don't know what Dad is complaining about... he's the one at the top of the hill!) |
 I also rode in my first horse show this month! I had to get Dixie ready. |
 And I had to get my own saddle... |
 But finally we were ready and before I knew it I was in the ring! |
 Don't worry though - my success isn't going to my head. I was still a goofus for the picture... |
 And I really couldn't wait to see the baby mice at the barn! This guy is only 18 days old! |
 Buttercup doesn't really look like a puppy any more. |
