Crickets!

I have crickets! Coming on the middle of January, freezing temps and I have crickets! In my bathroom. Do I have a cricket nest, cricket den, cricket pack . . .What?

The good thing is, they do not squeek! Must be too cold for turning on the ladies! LOL sorry.

So, this is the fourth time I've been taking my evening dunk to find a cricket in my bathroom.

On the up side . . . they are better then spiders!

Have a great weekend!

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.

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.
