Will you answer the call?

Noah Gabriel Smurdon

I wanted to share this information with you all.  I could tell you all about Noah, but instead I will post this link so that you can see for yourself what an amazing little boy he is.  I say is not was because as you will see he is still doing good work here on Earth, even though he is in Heaven.  His Mommy and Daddy are amazing people and it is very clear as to the reason Our Lord chose them to be his parents.  If you can, please donate to this cause and I will really appreciate it.  No matter what, please go to this link and read his story.

There you will also find the link to his CaringBridge page where you can know him and his parents even better.

Letting Noah go....

It's official!!

Zenyatta

It's official - on March 10, 2011 they scanned Zenyatta and she is with foal.  She's gonna be a momma!  I am so excited - 11 months is a long time to wait.  I lookin for a big bay colt.

Rachel Alexandra

Also confirmed is that Rachel Alexandra is with foal.  She was bred to Curlin a couple of days before Zenny.  Both mares are due the first week of February, 2012.

Curlin

Maybe Rachel will have a big red colt!

Congrats to Evan

Citadel bound......

We love you and are so proud!

And...

We are proud of you too, Graham.  The Herald Bulletin's 2010 Boy's Tennis Player of the Year.

Sorry to be so late with the kudos, guys.

Congrats to Deborah - With All My Heart Blog

Deborah's Scottie, Bella had 5 babies - 4 boys and 1 girl. 

Just makes me want a Scottie but Troy still says no to getting a dog.  And if we do, we are still leaning towards a Welsh Corgi.  They are just so hard to find around our area.  Anyway, those Scottie pups sure are too cute, Deborah.

February 6th

February 6th is the birthday of my two favorite guys - my husband Troy

and Ronald Reagan.

And it was announced that Zenyatta will be bred to Bernardini.  Should have a beautiful (and hopefully a bay) baby.

Congrats to Zenyatta

Queen Z won Horse of the Year.  And she deserved it!  She brought so much joy to so many.

In her new life - off the track and on to motherhood.

May we be at peace....

So much strife this past week, and so much sadness.  I try to keep it all in perspective and pray for those in Arizona and pray for our country.  We still have the freedom of our thoughts and opinions.  The actions of a disturbed individual cannot  and will not separate us from our freedom.

I love this picture - a good thing as there is alot of this stuff around.

And so peaceful, too!

And I love this picture of the newest members of our family.  My sweet sister-in-law (what was she thinking) got two Poodle pups - one for each son (nephew).  I guess she wasn't thinking about when one son leaves in a year (Citadel bound and we are oh so proud), and the other leaves in three.  Oh well Holly - by then you will be a seasoned veteran and won't know how you ever managed without them.  Looks like they will make good snow dogs....

And least you won't lose them.

Love and Faith to all in blog land.
