OOPS I forgot to upload the pics.

A wedding!

Gwen, Earl, Medium Earl, and Steve all had a chance to participate in a wedding a couple of weekends ago. It was Earl's good friend Tyler who got hitched. He married Emily Evans who was a school teacher at one of the one room schools out here. The kids looked so stinking cute. Especially E3 in his little tux with tails! I was a fun day and I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Branding Season

it is branding season and My children are thrilled! Gwen recently got to brand her first calf, which she was ecstatic about. She is such a cowgirl, so much more than her mother. I thought I was a cowgirl until I moved out here and figured out what a real "cowgirl" is and that is defiantly not me. I am not nearly as tough as I should be. Any who, Gwen now lives for the branding. Every Branding we go to she jumps right in the corral ready to get to work, from branding the calves to helping me keep tally ("that one is a boy mom, and that one is a dirl"), to helping others mark after vaccinaction. Gwen is such a go getter and I am so proud of her. She even rides the calves as they get up! Earl is much more soft hearted than his sister. He is not quite ready to work with the animals. He prefers to simply chase the calves around.
