family ride

It was such a nice day today! The sun was actually shinning, so we headed out back to see if the horses even remembered us. It has been forever since we have ridden them.(except for Jason, of course) Isabel did NOT want to get on and ride. Last summer she was bucked off and hasn't wanted to get on since. She was more than happy, however to get all dolled up in her cowgirl gear! She kept telling Jason she needed a new cowgirl hat. The boys on the other hand were more than happy to ride. Evan was really funny, he just wanted to gallop. every time I'd get Izzy running, he would laugh and laugh!!(if you have never heard this kid laugh, you are missing out. He has the best laugh!) Will just wanted to ride with his Dad. He's a little Daddy's boy, and follows Jason around like a shadow. Bennett has gotten really good at riding, and was off on his own, out in the pasture. It made me a little nervous, because like I said, it has been a while. But he did great. Jason can't wait to get a rope in that boys hand!

Here are a few pictures of the boys playing cowboy for the camera. I think it is so funny how they have to get dressed in their cowboy gear to ride the horses. Will was really upset that I wouldn't let him go back in the house and get on his "cowboy shirt". I told him it was possible to ride a horse in what he had on. He said "it's not as much fun".
