Our new landscaper.

Cruz is helping to reconstruct our landscape project. Maybe he is just helping us tear down as tomorrow is sadly our last day at the Tucson Winter Circuit.

"Tucsonisms"

Tucsonisms and their definitions:

1. Squirt & Stir - Water & Harrow the arena

2. Hedden - Ali is Hedden in the ring. Ali is Hedden to the first jump. Ali is Hedden into the jump off.

3. Gladiator Ready - The cry of Ali, Katherine, or Amy before they go in the ring.

4. MOJAM - Modified Junior Amateur

5. Drewville - Jumper 2 - we love you Drew!!!

6. "cause he just doesn't care - he just will" - speaking of the water truck guy who will get you wet if you stand at the in-gate "cause he just doesn't care - he just will!"
