I know! Can you believe it?!

This is my girl! My dollie! My honey sugar sweetie-pie!

Take a look at her picture on the side of my blog! What happened? Where did the time go?

Let me tell you about her - she's smart, funny, talented, hard working, determined, faithful, fiesty, strong, true and devoted.

She has opinions and shares when asked and sometimes when not asked! She has a crazy sarcastic sense of humor but knows how to keep it in check. Don't pick on or criticize her brothers. That's her job and nobody else better do it!

She rides fast horses around barrels and through poles and sometimes out in the wide open fields!

She's confident in herself. She enjoys her friends and has met some great cowgirls through HS Rodeo. She has an infectious laugh but only flashes her big smile every once in a while.

This is my dollie! My sweet pee! My honey sugar sweetie pie!

She dances to her own song!

Enjoy being re-introduced to Bailey Sue.

Dadgum! I'm gonna have to have a give-away! I don't know how long ago it was but I said when I hit 300 posts, I'd have a give-away. I'm at 295 and counting!! Whoop Whoop!

A Re-Introduction is in Order

This is me! I put on weight, I take off weight, I put it on, I take it back off! It's never ending!

I got red, I go brown, I fade to blonde, then back to brown, then get the red urge again . . .

This is my man. I love how when he hugs me for a picture, he hugs me tight. As if to say, "She's mine."

We are going on 21 years in April! Wow!

I'll re-introduce you to the yeah-hoos a little at a time!

Now, if any of you know a good way to publish or even save a blog onto a CD, I'd love for you to share the knowledge. I had two hard-drives crash in a months time and I lost every picture that I had. My blog is now a valuable family album if I can get it printed or saved somehow!

Have a beautiful Thursday!

STARTING FRESH!

I'm not sure where 2011 went! I know that I have missed my blogging friends desperately! So, I'm starting fresh and wishing you all a Happy New Year! May 2012 be a year of revival in the individual heart and soul and may you drink deeply of the water that quenches all thirst!

Balling Babies

Our boy, Bo has taken up tie down calf roping. Here he is typing down a calf. He'll look at this picture and point out all that he's done incorrectly. I look at the picture and think, WOW!

This was his first Tie Down Calf Roping competition. The Jr. Lewis Competition of Champions - if you are familiar with the sport, you know that Jr. Lewis comes from the South Hutchinson area and is known for training calf horses, etc. Bo finished 2nd in his age division and won this rope can and some moolaa!

So, Bo decided he was going to take this event seriously and called his Uncle David, who has an abundance of calves. Uncle David owns LaPar Dairy and decided just for Bo, he'd sell some of his calves. They wheeled and dealed, haggled and negotiated but ended up with a fair deal! Bo came home with 8 Holstein calves to practice on.

One thing we found to be a disadvantage at home was how long the legs are on holsteins, but he kept working till he could flank them all. And when he roped his first calf in competion later, he flanked it with no problem! We've had fun learning the art of tie down calf roping.

And the balling babies have settled in to their routine, get fed, get flanked, get fed, get roped, get fed, get flanked.

Just Another Day in Paradise

I'm home! I will never take being a stay-at-home mom for granted again. Working Real Estate is great because I schedule it around my family. Working for a company is the pits! For the past 15 years, if my kids needed to go to the dr, I scheduled the appointment. If I wanted to have lunch with a friend, I went. When I took on a 3/4 time job, I suddenly lost all my freedom and I DIDN'T LIKE IT!!

So, I am now back home - Hip Hip Horray!

Now, I'm back to blogging and will get caught up with all of you in between the two inches of dust on my curtain rods and the walls that need painting, grass that needs mowed, corrals that need painting, fences that need build!

Rather then just post a whole bunch of pictures of what has been going on around the Broken Y, I'll start with my Saturday night!

My sweet dollie

took me on a date! Her treat!




We went to the

Yes - those are Crocs!
