HELP!!!

I know my blog following may have tapered off a bit but I need anyone who reads it to pitch in and help me out. I have committed to do a little 2 mile walk/run for Crohns disease. I am the team captain and I need to come up with a good name for my team. So far its called "Got the Runs" but I need input on a better name if there is one. If you come up with a name that I like better than the one I have I'll send you a $20.00 gift card. Put your thinking caps on and make me laugh....

The Horse Expo...

So a few weekends ago (yes, I am a horrible blogger, I am trying to be better) we went to the horse expo. Most people I know don't know what the horse expo is and up until Emily I didn't either... the horse expo showcases a bunch of different styles of horses and all the stuff that goes with owning a horse...an arena that Em could flourish in. Normally I would think snore city but it actually turned out to be quite fun.
This is Feika...a Friesan horse from.....(waiting for the drum roll)....Holland! He is the main reason we went, Jeff connected with him as you'll see in the little video.
Before you click play you need to know that this horse is not only from Holland but it knows Dutch. The owners met up with Jeff last year and they found out that he speaks Dutch. Well, the horse kinda freaks out a bit when it hears Dutch because that is its first language...they told us that when he likes someone or something it sticks its tongue out...watch....

I made him wash his hands...
Next we ran into the Clydesdales

my personal favorite


We then headed over to the kid section so that everyone could make their own stick horses...Em doesn't look to thrilled here...

But as soon as they set up the jumps she was off!
Abby and Beth just kept adding more and more yarn to the mane and forelock

So as much as I hated cowboys growing up I am now surrounding myself with them as an adult. Next I'll be wearing a buckle.

This day is for the crapper

Dreaded day tomorrow...COLONOSCOPY!!
actually the dreaded day is today since I can't eat and we all know how much I love food....
Anyway...this post is to let you all know that it is colon cancer awareness month and if your 50+ I encourage you to get screened. If your under 50 but have a history of colon cancer in your family, talk to your MD about a screening. Wish me luck tomorrow.
