Emily turned 6 this month! Wow, how time flies right on by. She is stretching out and getting tall. She's really starting to look like a big girl and losing a lot of her baby looks. She is funny as ever, saying the silliest things! She is still horse-crazy as ever, too, so David arranged a special treat for her -- a horse riding day! 'Course being the bigger sister has its benefits -- both Gracey and Sarah got to ride as well!

The place that we take the youth group for paintball is owned by a great brother in Christ, Peter, who also owns a couple of horses. The property is way up in the hills of Vacaville. Peter and his daughter Marissa took us to the top of their property and we could see for miles! It's so beautiful! Digger and Ladybug were patient and sweet horses with our amateur riders. Of course, carrots were in abundance to reward them.
