Updates, Get Your Updates!!!!

Dear Reader,

I know I have left you hanging for quite some time. I can’t remember the last time I wrote and I need to start writing to you instead of leaving you in the dark like I have for so long.

COWSI have 3 beautiful baby boys and the mothers are all doing really well. The first birth was on July 3 @ 12:30 pm. The baby that was born to Molly we named him Ben Hur but he just goes by Ben for short. The second baby born was on July 17, 2007 @ 10:30 am. He was born to Nubbin and we named him Spartacus. The last the baby born was on July 24, 2007 @ sometime in the afternoon. He was born to Scarlett and his name was Newt. I named the first two boys because I wanted to have babies named after famous men. I had to let dad name the last baby or I would never hear the end of it. He picked Newt which rhymes with cute so it’s not too bad. Ben has been learning to lead on a halter and leash and Sparty is on his third day of leading. They are both doing fabu! I’m really proud of all my little boys.
If you go to the link below you can get a look at all the wonderful pics of the babies:

GYM
I have started going back to the gym again. This is the beginning of my third week of going. It is not so bad right now. When I first started going I really hated it, but now I am at the point that it is ok to go. Hopefully this will be good and I will make some progress again!

STUDENT
I have a student riding one of my horses. She is really great and a good worker. She is critical about her riding just like I use to be. I really enjoy coaching her, she takes her work seriously and I like that. We are planning to go to some shows in the near future which will be fun. I am so proud how much she has progressed in two weeks, it’s unbelievable really, but she has done it!

Movie Reviews (Short and Sweet)
Stomp the Yard = really good dancing movie, it’s different from all the rest though. Very interesting.
Apocalypto = excellent story, another hit by Mel Gibson. A bit gory as suggested in reviews but the story is amazing.
Hannibal Rising = big disappointment, not a very good film and it really wasn’t as great as the other Hannibal movies. Not hardly any gore either.
Reno 911 = Absolutely freakin’ hilarious, if you want to laugh watch this. I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard!
Miss Potter = A nice sentimental film, if you read the Peter Rabbit books, it’s about the creator of them. It was a little bit of a love story as well. Probably the best chemistry between Rene Zellweger and Ewan McGregor yet!
Breach = A really good true story about a breach in the FBI. Gary Cooper was fabu and Ryan Phillippe did well as a secret spy. The story is true don’t forget!
Shooter = Mark Wahlberg was eyecandy as usual but the story was really good. Kind was like a government conspiracy movie. Very good guy movie.
Black Snake Moan = Very sexual movie. Christina Ricci was really strange in it. Samuel L. Jackson does a fabu job playing the electric guitar, I hope that part was really. J. Timberlake didn’t have his greatest performance. Movie was just ok.
PRIDE = An excellent inspiring film. Terrence Howard was very captivating and even though I normally don’t like him Bernie Mac was pretty good too. Good film for everyone.
Astronaut Farmer = Really inspiring film as well. Gives the impression that you should never give up on your dreams. Not a true story but would be interesting if it was. Billy Bob Thorton was great as a dad and a man with a dream. Good movie for all.
Factory Girl = Probably one of Sienna Miller’s toughest roles to play. She plays Edie Sedgewick, Andy Warhol’s muse if you will. The movie is a true story but it shows that Andy was not nice and kind of scummy. A tad on the long side too. Interesting flick for people who like biographical flicks.
The Number 23 = An excellent film. Totally pulls Jim Carrey out of his funny man roles and into something different. The movie had me guessing the entire time. Don’t think the ending is predictable at all. Kinda creepy but it was great.
Zodiac = A true story as well. About the unsolved mystery of the Zodiac killer from the 1960’s. Jake Gyllenhall is great and Robert Downey Jr. even though he is screwed up he’s great too. Good cast and great story. I never figured this one out. At the end you get the deal with what happened after. Really good murder mystery/drama flick.
