The Muench Bunch

Luke had been up early washing and preparing for show day at the county fair. When I walked into the barn he had a girl braiding Joker's mane. I had to grin because these girls show up and are more than happy to help Luke out. Joker also had his tail braided and Luke asked me if I could braid it better for him. I decided I would try a braid from the top starting as a French braid. I was kind of proud of my braid and before long Luke was leading his horse to line up for his first class, halter geldings. I snapped a photo and sent it to Jayden. She messaged me right back, but unfortunately I did not open my phone and read it. She had said, "NO mom!! Take the braid out." I really don't know what I was thinking. I knew better and had a moment without thinking. Halter class you want the biggest fluffiest show tail. You want to show off a beautiful long thick tail. Many people use fake tails jut to make them look big and full. Joker has a beautiful tail, but on this day, he

 Jayden not only bumped her flight up an extra day, she also got a first class flight and did it all without paying anything, using frequent flyer points. It was a big day for Colt, his very first time traveling on an airplane. It was also a big day for Jayden flying alone with Colt! I was amazed she would even attempt to travel just the two of them.  Noah drove them to Dallas, a3 hour drive.

She had Colt in his warp and he slept most of the flight. She said he did great all day. I picked them up and made a stop to grab a bite to eat. Colt got scared of the workers and cried, then as we sat down to eat, he soaked through his clothes and diaper. We didn't r

 Luke attended his first prom as a Sophomore with his Junior girlfriend Abby. They started talking and attending youth group together in February. Her mother like me, limited how often they got to see each other. After a month and a half, Luke officailly asked her to be his girlfriend in person with flowers. He is such a romantic little gentlemen. When they talked in Feburary, they decided on going to prom together within a few days and then got to know each other. I went with Luke to meet her when he had to sign papers to attend her prom. She seemed very cute and giggly. Later we invited her to come to the house to meet us and Mark and I sat out around the fire pit and talked. It was awkward to say the least. Luke saw very little of his new freind other than youth group. Before long it was prom. Luke got measured for his tux and picked it up by himself. On prom night, I was invited by the other moms to come for the piture session. They knew I had a "good camera" eventhough t
