Busy Weekend.....

Well of course the baby was born early on Friday so that started the weekend here off with a Bang! He's a lot more animated today, but is still quite the quiet one compared to his brother. Thankfully! I can see though, where Collin is going to give Gregory a run for his money later down the road. He's built to be a football player. LOL

And today, while I was at the hospital, my sister in law calls to say they want to come and pick up my nieces colt. Dang it, I just got to the hospital! Which it did turn out best that we left, since Gregory and Hannah were a bit wide open in the room, getting into Everything. Gregory mostly. He was being a real turkey. My son David had bought everyone lunch, so this was keeping them busy temporarily. LOL But it didn't last to long, unfortunately.

So Gregory and I came home, I put him down for a nap, HMPH! When David comes in to tell me that someone was outside on the road looking at the horses. OK..... this is something that does happen, just not all the time. So I head out there, they didn't want to talk to me so they took off. I hate that when ppl do that. I would rather have them stay and chat. Makes me less suspicious. Well, I figured, since I was up and out, I might as well get Tonka ready for his departure. So I put a halter on him, and he Flat refused to walk anywhere. About 10 mins of trying to go somewhere, backwards worked for about 10 steps, sideways for another 5, my brother showed up with their trailer. He came in and helped me get him out. It took about 10 mins maybe to get Tonka loaded his first time ever in a trailer. Bribed the boy with grain, worked great! He was so Leary, but he did it, as soon as all 4 were safely on the trailer, I secured the butt bar, and closed the door quietly. He was on! We gave him about 5 mins to get used to it, then they were on their way. One down a few more to go. Sigh...... Their timing sucked, as far as me being at the hospital, but, it worked out for the best in the long run. David got Gregory to sleep for his nap, I fed the horses, then took a nap myself. Boy howdy did that feel Goooood! I could have slept the whole day I think.

A Little Early....

Well at 12:10 am Sabrina's water broke. So.... we b lined to the hospital. They checked her in, got her in a room all by 12:30am. The doctor arrived at about 1:30am. She was prepped for the surgery and taken to the OB operating room. Only one person was allowed to go in with her, I was "it". Although they wouldn't allow me in there until they had everything in place and they were about to start cutting. It's a good thing I went in there with her, cause she was VERY scared! I just wanted to hug her and say It will be AOK, but.... that would have been a really bad thing. :) So..... I just held her hand, wiped her tears and talked to her.

At 2:30am, we saw -----
for the first time! Enter Collin Lee.....

**Weighing 10.43lbs officially and is 20 1/2 inches long! Wow!



Mother and Son are both doing quite well. Collin is just perfect! 10 fingers, 10 toes....

Boy He has a Healthy set of lungs.... He's just the most precious thing!

Anticipation~~

After the LONG wait, tomorrow has FINALLY come.. We will be leaving here around 9:45am. They have told my daughter that only one person can be in the delivery room, so I get to be it! I'm under strict rules ~ No photos of the actual cut and whatnot. She doesn't want to be grossed out by the cutting for the C section. :P Can't blame her, but.... I may have to snap one anyway. If she doesn't want it, she can always bury it later. I plan on taking a lot of photos of the new baby, so be prepared...

I think we are as prepared as we can physically be. We have a crib, car seat, bassinet, high chair, walker, port-a-crib, diapers, bottles, formula, bibs, clothes (OMG a Butt ton of clothes), blankets, a new diaper bag, bottle scrubber and pacifiers. It took quite some doing to find the bassinet sheets, but we managed to find a few. Thankfully. The only thing we haven't been able to locate is those little hand mittens, so we are going to improvise and use socks. Oh another thing we can't seem to locate is those crib protector pads. I can't find them anywhere. It's like they disappeared off the face of the earth or something. Oh well, another improvise and we will just use the receiving blankets instead of those. I can't think of anything else we need. It's been a chore getting prepared to get everything together for Collin. But we prevailed!

So tomorrow is the day~ So watch for pics of Collin..... ;)

Grandkids~~~

Gregory and Hannah







Can we say...... Ham's??
Just pull out a camera and the photo shoot commences. They are a riot also a Pair of Devils when they want to be. ;) They are cousin's, but they look a lot alike I think.

Shots Day.....

They all got wormed first. They must have actually liked it because they weren't trying to wipe it all over me this time. LOL

This is Cassie and her OH so concerned look. She just wanted me to go away so she could eat her dinner. She really didn't care one way or another.

This is Cotie's "concerned" look. He's almost to mellow. Is there such a thing though? Really?

Then they all got their shots. The foals got their first one, I was Really surprised at how well they did. Out of them all, Tink gave me a fit, only because she didn't want to be on a lead of any kind. Then Peppy, he must still be mad at me for taking mommy away, boy he was rowdy. He even reared up, the stinker. Only I was not going to put up with the nonsense, so we just worked it out. When he realized I wasn't going to give up cause he wanted me to, he settled right down.

Shasta, Dusty and Tonka were so uneventful they didn't even need a lead over their necks, they had one anyway, just in case, but for the most part, they were fantastic.

The one that gave me a fit?
G-R-A-C-E..... Have I ever said how much this mare and I don't get along? I really don't like her much. She took off like a someone had shot her in the butt. GRRRRRR..... So..... she didn't get to eat. When I went to get her out of the other pasture, she started to run, I was like Nope your not gonna and played this game of not approaching her. Snagged her and then went to give her her shot. You would have thought the needle was 10 inches long. She shook her head, tried to do whatever she could to remove it. So I pulled it out. Reattached it to the syringe and popped her with the wormer to give her something else to think about, then redid the shot. What a Major brat. The OTHER adult horses, I didn't need a lead or anything, I just walked up and popped them with both. Including Cotie, he really doesn't care about things like that. But this Grace and I - hmph, I think she and I need to do some working, cause this isn't going to cut it. I told David yesterday, if he hadn't liked his horse so much, she'd be going down the road, cause I surely don't like her. He needs to get out there and spend some time with her, she's being a major wench as of late. Even went so far today as to kick at Zelda. I yelled, she stopped. GRRRR...

Which makes me think I'm going to build Zelda a separate pasture of her own. There's no need for her to be beat up by any of them and since she is getting up there in years, she can't get away as fast as she used to and she's loosing herd status. Pisses me off that Grace is being so mean to anyone that's in her area with her. Did I say how much she and I don't get along? LOL I liked her better when she was in foal, at least she had a more even temperament.

Now where to put up Zelda's new area. Hmmmm......
