This week one of my biggest dreams have come true! I got a HORSE!! I have wanted a horse ever since we gave away Jackson.(Our horse six years ago). Ever since then I have been trying to talk my dad into getting one. In October 2006, there was a add in the news paper about tryouts for Aberdeen Idol. If you won the prize it would be $300! So I was thinking if i win i can start saving up to get a horse. Well ,the night before Aberdeen Idol tryouts, my mom told me to go to bed so I could be well rested and have tons of energy to sing. I couldn't sleep because I was to excited so i decided to go and watch T.V. Then after 3 minutes of watching I heard my mom yell my name. I walked upstairs to ask what my mom what she wanted. She was mad because i did n't go to bed and then she told me that i was grouded and that i could not try out for Aberdeen Idol. Then i went to the bedroom upstairs and cried myself to sleep. The next day i was so mad that i could not even talk i kept givving glares to my mom and see if she would give in but that never happened.Then it was Sunday and so i was still sad that i didnt tryout for the contest. Later in church, Amber Park ( really good friend) came up to me and ask me if i tried out for the contest. I said no, and told her i was grounded. Then she told me that there was another audition for it. I hurried and ran to my mom and ask her if i could do it. And she said yes, but on one condition. To go to bed early every night. I gave her a big bear hug and thanked her and ran off. Three nights of fun competition and nerves. The last off the night they were announcing the winners and calling there names. It was between me and Jordan Harker(really good and fun friend!). Then he came in second and i came in first out of fifteen. I was very exicited and i was having a blast! When i got the i knew exactly where it was going. My horse fund. And i saved my money and as going to by a horse. A year past and i still didnt cash the check yet and so I decided to buy a silk blanket. It is a really pretty purple and has the Nauvoo Temple on it. And the on Saturday,July 19 2008 , my brother in law Mark was looking on ksl.com at a house and then he looked up horses and saw a really pretty horse named Harley. Was a really pretty brown color and a maane and tail that was a dark red. He ws beatiful and very sweet. And so we bought him and now his name is Teton! he is very nice and cute i wil post so pictures!!!

Hello, this is Aspen's wicked witch of a mother who grounded her from Aberdeen Idol! Now let me tell you the r-e-a-l story! this child of mine does not sleep! Not when she is exhausted, not when it is bedtime, not when she should. It was after I found her up several nights after midnight-on a school night-that I grounded her cute little bunz! It was probably harder on me to not let her try out for the contest because there is nothing I like better in all the world than watching my kids perform and develop their talents! But I was NOT giving in! I had to teach her a lesson about going to bed on time and ever since I made her do that, she goes to bed right on time...Aspen's time! Oh well, don't say I didn't try! We do love her and her 2.5 horses! Dianne
