I must admit I'm not a big fan of KCL.  Having said that though I have only been around one of his foals, but it was nothing to speak of.  Oh trust me you will know! Wink  Your still her "mom" I just feed her and take care of her for ya! Cheesy  I have been on Fran about 5 times bareback with a halter and lead rope.  Matt has led me around.  When he lets go she doesn't like to move.  It will come!   I can't wait to see Frans lil bro or sis!  How is Bossy doing?

Bossy is a pain in the butt.  She wasn't friendly when she was younger but now she follows you every where you go and you cannot do anything with the other horses out in the field because she is there.   I told her she was going to go be broke in a couple more months.  I am sure she won't be hard to break but she has a little bit of a different personality than Fran had.   Sometimes I want to choke her.  I have learned not to go out in the field with treats because then you are in trouble.  LOL, must be like her grandmother

They have to get that treat thing from grandma Shot because Renee will eat them but really could care less one way or another.   I mean zero in on you when you have them.  I think Bossy has a smeller like a bloodhound

It gets cold for a few days then gets into upper 50's and 60's for a few.  Supposed to be around 50 this time of year, said it was another cold winter and going to be another wet spring.  Horses are like giant mud animals and so is my dog   Sad

Ok so when are you and Rams due?  Not at the same time I hope.  My neice in WY lost hers and she is a little bit bummed out right now.

I'm due in October and Rams is due in August.  Close but not the exact same time, lol.  I always hate to hear that when it happens.  I go Tuesday for a early Ultra Sound, we are excited.  They normaly don't do one this early but the doc said she would sneak me in since this was our first.  I'm hoping we can see or hear the heart beat, then I will feel a little more at ease.

The horses are doing good!  Bullwinkle may be growing a tad, but he is SO hairy.  He looks like a wooly mamouth.  I wanted to put him back online but he seriously isn't doing himself any justice with all that hair!

Oh maybe you will have yours on my birthday, LOL.  All my horses are starting to shed and some are about 1/3 of the way there.  Spring must be coming.  The hairiest ones I have are the weanlings except for Lena's baby, here just don't seem to grow hair.  I am sick of the mud around here and all the dang wet weather.  Time for summer then I will be cmplaining to you all that it is too hot.  Just can't seem to make me happy.   Tongue

I noticed Rosie is shedding alittle yesterday.  The mud will be back here today and then it will freeze back up mid week!  Gosh I just love it!  NOT!  Have you started your job yet?

It is already in the mid 40's today and we are an hour behind you on time.  Mud everywhere.  Ponds are running out the overflow drains in a river.  I have been working through Manpower for 3 weeks already.  Have to work there for 90 days for them to hire me.  They already told me I have the job and are trying to work out something with manpower to get me out of the 90 days.  The junior college has excellent benefits, health, dental, eye, retirement, 1.6 days vacation for every month you work 1.4 sick days for every month you work and you can bank them indefinitely.  That is like 4 weeks vacation a year and 3 weeks of sick pay a year.  Work really isn't bad at all.  The local newpaper has a job opening that would suit rams to a tee, since she is a puter whiz.  LOL.  Are you and Rams having morning sickness yet?

That sounds really nice!  I'm glad you are liking your job!  I get 6 hours of personal time off every 2 weeks, and 4 hours of sick time off every 2 weeks.  I have about 12 weeks of sick time banked for the baby.  It will be weird being home every day!  I'm positive I will have PLENTY to do! LOL!  I haven't been sick at all, and I don't think Rams has eaither.  She is kinda outta the morning sickness stage.  The mud will be here before we know it too!  I feel bad for the horses!  Fran thinks Bullwinkle is HER baby!  My FIL bought my neighbors horse and is boarding it at our house.  Well Bullwinkle got alittle too close to the new horse and it pinned her ears at him, well Fran came fly up with her ears back and got between the two of them and pushed Bullwinkle outta the way! Roll Eyes  Crazy horse! Good news!  My friend Jenny said she would help me start her this summer!  I really like the way Jenny rides and treats her horses, so I'm excited about that!  Along with Matt he said he would help me also.  I have been on her, had her saddled so she will be super easy!  I want to work on lunging, and now that im knocked up i might ground drive her!

Well at least you can get her started.  And you won't have to do much I am sure.  If she has a good 90 days she could be turned out again until you are able to ride.  I really hope you will enjoy her.  I think it is funny that she mothers Bullwinkle.  I bet he will surprise you and be a lot taller than you think.  Some of Shot's babies mature so slow and hot was 3 when I bought her and is about 2 inches taller now than she was then.  Glad to here that you and Rams aren't having morning sickness.  The college bought my contract out from Manpower so I started offically with them yesterday.  I found out that you get 9 days off with pay during Christmas and New Years and it doesn't count as vacation and you get another 2 days off during spring break that doesn't count as vacation.  I actually am a employee of the State of Kansas and it is mandatory that they withhold 4% (which they match) for retirement.  Oh well, it will all count up in the end.   Yes, you are going to have plenty to do once the little one comes along.  Hope the pups don't get jealous and the horses are going to feel left out too.  Get ready for loss of sleep.  Is your mother going to come and help you the first week so you can get some rest?  smile

I sure hope Bullwinkle grows.  He looks like a scraggly weanling now. LOL!   My Rose didn't stop growing till she was 4ish.  And I think every year she fills out.  I already enjoy Fran, so I can only imagine once I start riding her.  Yeah I imagine everyone is going to be jelous of the little one. lol!  I'm glad the baby will be young going into winter, that way we can have fun playing with it in the winter and get our systems down, then in the spring and summer we can get out side some.  My mom I think is planning on comming down the 2ned week.  Matt is taking the first week off with me.  I will be off work till the first of the year!!!!  Congrats on the job!  Sounds like a good one!  Extra time off is always great and retirment, wow!  Do you think the horse market will ever go back up? Undecided
