Westin's Baptism at St. Barbara's Mission

WESTIN DEAN'S BAPTISM
GODFATHER - MARK (MARKY) GOODWIN
GODMOTHER - LORA (LO LO) GOODWIN
At exactly 9 months old Westin was baptized at The Santa Barbara Mission during the 4pm Mass. It was a beautiful ceremony, with lots of clapping and soft song. Both kids were very well behaved during the mass. We celebrated with dinner, drink and cake afterward. Thanks to everyone for attending and making it such a special day. BUT a very SPECIAL THANK YOU to Mark and Lora for stepping in and accepting the gift of being Westin's Godparents - We love you both!

Little Man's First Haircut

Westin Dean received his first haircut yesterday. He was great! He just sat there looking up, wondering what is going on. Then he saw all the toys in his lay and was keeping heavily distracted; which was perfect for the stylist to cut away. He will be 9 months in a few days, he has 4 teeth and really gets around the house with a half crawl/half army pull. He eats well and is a very happy baby!

SB Fair & Expo 2011

We spent our Saturday at the SB Fair & Expo. It was so much FUN! We went twice; in the morning then back agagin in the evening. Ashlin could not get enough of the rides. She must have gone on 25 rides or more. Both kids were so great it was hard to leave!

EASTER continued...

More fun Easter photos. The Easter Bunny brought 5 baby chicks. Ashlin named her chick Flower. They all had a great time in the bounce house and on the egg hunts!

EASTER 2011

HAPPY EASTER!! We had a really great long Easter weekend. There were egg hunts, 8am mass, a costum contest (Ashlin won a big basket) and lots of quality family fun!

Horse Showing in Santa Barbara

It was another very successful show! This makes two shows in two weekends - I am so tired (no days off in between and of course sick the whole time)! All my clients and their horses were fantastic and thus earned 33 blue ribbons (first place awards) and 8 division Championships. All clients were very happy, including parents. With their blue ribbon they also earn a prize, including: polo shirts, wine, gift certificates, etc. Many of the girls are extremely generous and usually get some prizes for me. This time they gave me a blue emordiered polo shirt, Ashlin a super tiny embroidered polo shirt and a saddle pad- LOVE IT!!

Loving the Camera!!

Horse Showing in San Juan Capistrano

This past weekend I took 4 clients and their horses to show in San Juan Capistrano at The Oaks (a AA rated horse show). We left Friday morning and returned late Sunday night. It went great; there were first place ribbons and prizes as well as a Reserve Championship. The girls are really fun and silly (ages 14-17). We shop, eat out a lot and laugh and laugh - OH and of course they ride! I know these horse look a like but they are all different horses.
