A Ride on Millie
Here are some pictures from the first time I rode Millie last month. I finally got them in an email. I know they are a little small, but I couldn't figure out how to increase the size of the pics with out them turning blurry.

Ten on Tuesday
1. Yes, I am pregnant! We are expecting our new arrival around May 22nd. I had my first doctors appointment today and I was relieved to find out the baby looks healthy on the ultrasound.
2. This past weekend Dave got worried that we may be having twins, because I had a dream about it. I told him it was because we had been talking about the odds of having twins right before I went to bed. With several twins in the family anything is possible. Lucky for Dave the ultrasound showed just one baby!
3.Unfortunately I usually feel a little nauseous all day long but it gets worse at night or if I don't eat when I am hungry. And for some unknown reason I no longer sleep well at night, hopefully me body will adjust soon because I really need a good night sleep.
4.Went and saw Eagle eye last friday. It was very good!
5. yuck! it snowed all weekend. It has all melted, but it sure is cold now. I have to break up the layer of ice in the water trough every morning for the horses.
6. I worked for the emergency clinic Saturday. It was really slow, I think no one really wanted to drive in the snow.
7. I have been having a real craving for milk, especially chocolate. It is one of the few things that taste good going down when I am so nauseous.
8. Took Millie to Idaho Falls tonight to ride in an arena with Cindy near her place. Discovered that all though Millie is good on the trail, she has no experience in an arena and had a hard time figuring out what to do. Jolene is going to try to spend some more time with me and Millie to teach her a little better.
9. Its a good thing it is getting too cold to ride, because I won't be able to ride in a couple more months anyways. Dave gets a little worried when I ride now.
10. Finally got around to shaving Frodo again, just in time for it to turn cold. He looks so much better now, but I had to put on his jacket because he was always shivering.

Ten on Tuesday
1. Had another training session with Jolene last tuesday. Now that Millie is in our back pasture Jo came over to help me work on getting her trust and respect. It is a little more difficult without a round pen . Also with the dogs started barking every time I asked Millie to trot, which freaked her out. By the end of the lesson she had sweat pouring down her face. I worked with her alone again on thursday and she seemed a little more relaxed.
2. Went out to Stockman's for dinner friday with the usual group and had a great time. Like always the food was great!
3. Saturday We went on a horse ride with Brad, Jolene, Daniel, and Heather.I was my first time riding Millie on a "trail" ride and I was excited to find out how she would do. We went riding at the sand dunes and it was one of the funniest rides I have ever been on. Millie was awesome! She did not spook or scare at any of motorcycles and was very sure footed on the trail. I love that she never hesitated when it came to and unknown obstacle she would just walk on through.
4. Dave and Daniel both had the fun experience of riding horses that attempted to roll while they were still in the saddle. The ground was just to tempting for Miss and Barney and they really just wanted to roll onto their backs and rub a little. The look on their faces were priceless. you could tell they were think how did I just end up on the ground.
5. At the end of the ride Jolene wanted to test her colt that she was riding to see if he would cross water. Water is always one of the biggest tests because to a horses a pond looks like a black hole. We brought all the horses to a shallow pond at the Dunes and Barney like always just walked right in. Millie just followed without even checking it out. The other horses all had to test the water with their feet, but they all made it in even the young colt. It was a pretty exciting moment. I love the feeling of moving through water. Something about the water splashing all around.
6. After the ride we all went over to Brad and Jolene's and had some pizza.
7. Sunday morning I could barely get out of bed. I woke up congested and felt like I was getting the chills so Dave insisted I stay home from church and rest.
8. Had a lot of people over for Sunday dinner. For once every roll was gone by the end of the meal. Brianna had ran into an old friend Mellisa Scherck and invited her to join us for dinner. We also invited Jesse over since Louisa was out of town. With Daniel and heather that made 7. We had a lot of fun.
9.Even on the antibiotics Tevi got worse last week and even started vomiting over the weekend. So I brought her back to work and we took more xrays. This time it looked like there may be stones in her bladder. So Dr. Francis opened her up today to check and there were two pea sized stones. poor kitty! I am so relieved that we have finally found something. This surgery should make her all better! Dr. Francis said this is only the third case he has ever seen where a cat had stones.
10. This is the first tuesday in months where I have pretty much done nothing all day. Once in a while it is nice to not have anything pressing going on.
