Ride'um Cowboy!

Now that is one happy cowboy! We went o Hailey's for the "branding of the cows" and Dax thought that he was in heaven! He was so excited to be able to ride a horse all by himself this year. While we were out there he told me that he did want to go to Disneyland for his birthday but that he had changed his mind to going to Colton's house because "THIS IS AWESOME!"
Avery and Kylie just a chattin' in the horses. Yes - they are also riding all by them selves! When we get these two girls together there is NEVER a quite moment! They are tooo fun!

Trace is just hangin' out on the horse! What a cute little stink!

I love this picture of my dad with all of my kids! I think that they get the love of horses from him. Thanks dad for taking them out on the horses!

I really don't know how many times they went around. All day would have been fine with all of them I think! LOVE IT!

So the kids all switched places and I wonder who thought that it is was good idea to let all of the little girls try to walk. This is how it went....step, giggle, fall down, get up, step, giggle.......! What a great Grandpa to put up with it as long as he did!

I just think that this picture of Trace and Kaycee was just tooo cute! They are just a the cutest stage in life. Love them! I just wish that they would figure out that they are good friends already! It will come someday....I hope!

This is what I call a fun game that wasn't thought thru! They hold on to the fun swinging rope with a metal clasp on it, and throw it. I wish that I had the picture of the end of the game when it first came back and hit Avery in the forehead. Then trace thought that he could get it and it hit him in the head too. Maybe next time we will think it thru.....maybe not!

Who will win?

We have been having this conversation at our house a lot lately.........When can we have a puppy??? Our kids LOVE puppies!! Right now it is easy for us to win because we have been renting our house since, forever so we tell them that we we can't because the owners won't let us. I wonder what will happen when we actually buy a home and can't throw the blame onto someone else? I don't remember being the kid that just brought home a puppy from Wal-Mart or the corner, I remember my sisters did but never me. Brian he grew up with a dog forever, they were never his dogs mostly his brothers, but he always had one. His excuse is always it's not fair to the dog to be trapped in a little back yard in the hot summers (because we will not have an inside dog!). A dog needs to have somewhere to run and play and be a dog. Sound very logical but I still wonder who will win when the kids are bawling and willing to to anything, how strong we will stand? By the way, these are my sisters dogs because her kids won!!
