New Address for the Cokers.....

Fridays are our LOGAN days...

It was hard to get the football back....

he has a great arm already....Look out Saints!!

After lunch we always go outside,

Logan loves to be outside, even if it was cold!

Playing with the wind chime with Uncle Chris.

Whoa, there must of been 100's of black birds flyin over!

CONGRATULATIONS TO Lindsay & Jeremy,

while we were playing with Logan, they closed on

their new house.....Hard work pays off!!

Lots of running space for our lil Logan...

Blast from the Past...

The coolest part about Facebook is finding old friends.
I Looked Laura Clarkson up and we chit-chatted for
awhile before she revealed she lived about an hour away
from me in Emory, Texas....what are the odds??
We both drove for 30 minutes and had lunch at Sister's
cafe in Canton and talked about so much....

We talked about DRESSAGE at Barrington, IL

We talked about my first Cross-country corse

where I fell off and my sweet mare Bailey just

stood there and waited till I got back on and then

had a clean round.....I was pumped!

We talked about HOOSIERState Park in Indiana!

We talked about Kentucky Horse Park where we

had a blow out and sat on the side of the road for

hours before someone helped us!

We laughed about the infamous Torrence

Watkins who made my children question

"Why is so mean and why does she call your

riding crop a pea shooter?"

Laura remembered the boys and how all the

pony clubbers were always surrounding Tony and

how funny Chris was when he would walk BUBBA!

Laura remembered the day Tony did his

first photo shoot for his modeling career!

THe best part of the whole afternoon was when

we both agreed that LIFE is not about horses....

Laura shared with me the trials and tribulations of

her life being a single MOM now and losing her business and

making a decision to move to Texas......she expressed

to me that she knows that GOD has a new season for her

and wants to know what it is......I was excited that GOD

sent me to love on her......Isn't GOD awesome??

January Events..

While the Chi-town Zitko's were in town we

surprised Jeremy for his birthday at El Jacalito's
