Texas

I do realize we went to Texas in May and it is now July, but I am just always so dang busy. We had a great time. The wildflowers were beautiful, it was not overly hot, we didn't have a tornado (always a plus in my book), we got to visit everyone, the kids had fun, we ended up with leeches on us (EWWWW), we caught frogs, we had a fish fry, nobody got overly sunburned (I did get a little but it wouldn't be me if I wasn't), We had to hike to the lake because the water is so low. All in All it was a great trip.

Just a couple of windmill pictures I thought turned out pretty good!

Spring Randomness

I haven't blogged in so long, I now have a ton to catch up on. I think I have enough pics to do a post everyday for the next week so hopefully that is what I will do. These pics are just some random things we have done this spring. We finally had a nice day and decided to take advantage of it, we played outside and then Becky and her girls came over and we went on a ride in the razr up the hill for a picnic. It was great fun, of course I only have pics from before the picnic because I can't ever remember my camera (good photographer huh). Anyway we have had lots of fun so far.

WYOMING Spa Treatment

Sally and her crew were here this weekend. We had a great time and the kids never run out of things to do when they are here. We went out to check on them and found this. We discussed whether or not to make them get out and decided it was just mud and it will wash. After a good 20 minutes of "bathing" in it, Ella runs up and says "Mom I got mud on me" she was crying and totally shocked that she was covered in mud it was hilarious. The other kids had to be drug out when they started to shiver and turn blue. We got them all showered and the only thing that suffered was the shower with a 1 in layer of mud.....

Of course because he is the smallest he got the worst of it and didn't mind at all.

This morning before Sally and Luke left Chey made pancakes for us all. I didn't get the camera until after my kids finished but here are the pics I did get.

Thanks Sall, Luke and family we had a great time.

Branding at Nick's

These are just a couple of my favorites from the branding. I will post the ones of the kids from this last week in another post.. I was a little more disturbed by the branding than I thought I would be. But once you get desensitized we all had a good time.

I Looked Out The Window....

ELK!! That's right they were at the end of our field.. One more wonderful thing about living where we do.
