Stacy's baby.....

While we were in Utah for the graduation we were also anxiously awaiting the arrival of a baby! A horse! When we got to Manti we went to visit the Mom to be, gave her a little pep talk about having the horse while we were in Utah so that we could see our "grandchild". This is mommy looking quite depressed and miserable, all she would do was stand in the stall and stare ahead like, "please let this end!!"

Well nothing happened and nothing happened and we were losing hope that we would be in town for the delivery.........We left Kaysville, early in the morning for our long journey home, I quickly fell asleep in the car and missed a phonecall and a text telling us to hurry up...the baby had come! We were on our way to Manti anyway to pick up Stacy to bring her back to California with us, so the timing could not have been any better! I would have felt horrible to take her back with us and have missed the birth, so I guess that little pep talk I had with the mother worked! When we got there the colt was only a few hours old and soooo very cute! Mom was pretty protective but Stacy managed to at least touch the baby and get to spend some time, taking pictures and just watching the most exciting thing nature has to offer. The horse is a Dun which is a rare coloring and it also has a white 7 on his forehead, she has named him Ace!
