Two days of working cows and a night spent on the mountain… I met the cowboys after they’d gathered the Bayer Creek Pasture. I rode along for a while… I have to say, the kids are getting to be great help… Yes, they still goof around and chatter and are, well, kids, but they zoom…

Cheer
GOODNESS. It’s not only Back to School Time, it’s also Back to Sports Time. I missed the little girls’ volleyball game yesterday, as I took my sister and nephew for a quick picnic up on the mountain before he had to head back to Texas today. Then today: No pics of Wyatt. Jaxon is number…
Double Digits
Gah! Meant to take a photo today… The most recent one will have to do… August 22, two 22 year olds got married… 44 years ago! Guess how old we are? It’s the year of the double digits! Happy anniversary to us!
August 10
Happy, happy birthday to my youngest!
Mission
With the wildfire last week, my last fair entry for the kids wasn’t written… and now Victoria’s kids have competed in their county fair… so, I’m definitely behind! My plan was to try to make a video, but my first obstacle was not enough room to download the videos from my camera. Maybe someone someday…
Beef
Oh, it was the Beef Show today… and three kids looked pretty sharp! (Quinlan’s steer died unfortunately.) We may be prejudiced, just a bit, but we thought they looked great! With one of Jaxon’s steers, the judge agreed, granting him Reserve Champion Black Angus Market Beef!
Sheep Show
Again… I have zero clue about sheep, but we’re there to support Jaxon and Lacee who do! Oh, don’t forget Reagan, who entered the Peewee Show… they don’t pick winners, it’s a “everyone gets a ribbon thing”… but don’t tell Reagan who had her Showmanship Skills lit up and glowing! Jaxon and Lacee each have…
So It Begins
I missed the Horse Show… but between Jaxon, Lacee, and Lorelei… there were 13 ribbons. Whoop, whoop! Jaxon got Reserve Champion Intermediate Horse Showman and Lorelei got 1st in Junior Trail riding. Today was the Swine Show with Quinlan in FFA and Lorelei in 4H. The Fair Results Page lists Quinlan as 1st in Dark…
Throwback Thursday: Yeehaw, v.2.0
This was first posted July 18, 2015. It was a close race between a tipi q&a post and this one with the grandkids in the kids rodeo. I absolutely couldn’t resist looking back on these precious ones! So… another long day, though very enjoyable and actually COOL. Yes, folks, I said, COOL. 99.9% of Kids’ Rodeo…
Reagan’s Day
Learning Reagan.
Party
Happy birthday, a day early, Lacee!
What a Blast
What a blast I’ve had the past few days! My cousin, who lives in Laos, on the other side of the world, had come to visit me and my sister. At one point, he mentioned how fun it was to sit and visit with Burtons… family that knows his stories and history and father. I…
