Meet the Alpers: Shawn, Tricia, Bryce, Bryee and Maize
Part of the show crew, actually our prime motivators.
The Alpers make their home in Indianapolis. Shawn is in Human Resources with Rolls Royce and Tricia is an eighth grade US History teacher at Craig Middle School. Tricia's school is closing at the end of the year and she will be relocated which is still to be determined. Bryce is going to turn eight in April. He still enjoys football, karate, gymnastics and going to shows. Bryee will turn four in March and will attend preschool next fall. Bryee enjoys everything as long as it's her idea. Both kids love to come to the farm and Bryee is a great chore helper.

Meet Annette Haas: The rest of the show crew
Ye gads, an actual lawyer in the family. Annette has PASSED HER BAR AND IS NOW A REAL LAWYER, OH MY!! Annette has changed jobs, she is now doing collections with the large and prestigious firm of Barnes and Thornburg. Annette made it to all the shows this year and was superb help. Both the girls are pushing for a gelding to ride and drive

Meet the Moleskis: Nick, Michele, Jackson, Elaina and Zeus
Michele is still Head Administrator at the Plainwell Nursing home facility. Nick still works for the Kalamazoo Gazette but like so many other businesses of late, the Gazette is closing their doors. Jackson is eight and a second grader, he is doing very well and is very creative, his lego creations are impressive. Elaina is five and a real animal lover, she has turned into grandma's big helper. They make it out to the farm fairly often especially so Nick and Dad can watch football together. They have added a whippet, Zeus, to the family. He is everything that they wanted in a dog and has adapted well to the farm and Elizabeth. We will be watching Zeus while they are in Florida.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Meet the Mullens: Alex and Rachel.
The rest of the show crew. Our summer son. 2005 marked the ninth year Alex helped show Armageddon Clydesdales to their best advantage. We wish to take this opportunity to thank him for all he has meant to us.
Alex is a for real doctor of Veterinary Medicine. We attended his hooding (went to OSU and survived). They are now in Cleveland where he works in a eight man practice, long hours and not near enough money. It's an all equine practice so the experience is invaluable. Rachel works at a private school teaching spanish. They are getting married this summer.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
Meet the Myers: Bret, Jordan and Breckan
The stay at home crew without whom we couldn't go anywhere.
Bret is chief in charge of everything. He takes care of the old folks all year round, we couldn't do this without him. Jordan is twelve and in the sixth grade, still plays baseball, loves to draw and read. This is Jordans second buck, last year's was big, this year's is unique. This is a piebald deer because of all the white markings and it is very rare. Breckan will be eight in April, is in second grade and is doing well. She still goes to ballet. Breckan went to her first horse show with us this summer and was a great help. Both kids love the farm and help Dad with chores. Bret enjoys beating mom at the Wii.

Meet the Wells: Brian, Teresa, Madison and Tess
Best Friends you have become part of the family. We have done some camping together and look forward to doing more. They take care of Elizabeth for us when we decide to globe trot.
Teresa was our only ultrasound tech for a lot of years. She held things together at the hospital for us until Michael retired. She is now going to be teaching a vascular ultrasound training program. Brian is enrolled at Wayne State in the Mortuary Science School.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Bonnie and Vasser: Both gone but not forgotten.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
Elizabeth: Mom's new baby, she can't replace Bonnie, but she sure helps make mom smile.
Now you've met them all. The rest are a bunch of pictures we want to share with you. We were able to do a lot of traveling in 2009. We hope to do a lot more in 2010.
