just fun pictures from summer...

My Uncle's flooded road and cattle guard. I couldn't even get my pickup through to go see them.

Tractor pulling contest!! Big tractor actually pulling smaller one from being stuck the 4th time, because of wet fields.

Nephew killing his first sage grouse, skinning it and wearing a cocky smile.

Tractor being stuck first go around.

My favorite little buddy Ian who I have missed so much this summer. He is my church sitting buddy. I even bought him some new books for church. Can hardly wait to be with him on Sundays. He reminds me so much of my son, gifted and talented. Ian is so awesome, I love him to bits.

My son working with the famous horse that bucked me off and kicked me in the head. She sure did a number on me, but what a glorious recovery year it has been.

My son loves his horses. They have been such a great thing in his life.

My beautiful daughter with one of her funny faces. She is next to an awesome waterfall we stopped by one day on our way back from picking her up at University.

My back yard around the end of May or first of June. Yes that is snow.

My famous, incredible, loved, obedient, dog sitting on his famous throne as king of the ranch.

my motor cycle girl...

Tonight we went for a four wheel and motor cycle ride. We had a blast. The above picture is my awesome daughter.

Here she is in her motor cycle outfit trying to get her motorbike started.

Here is my husband who surprised us last night by coming to the ranch to spend the weekend with us. My brother is in the blue, and my awesome nephew is in the red.

My nephew was so awesome. Today was my daughters first day of riding her motorcycle other than on the road. We rode some pretty rough country. My nephew coached my daughter, and kept and eye on her. It was so fun to watch how lovingly he instructed her and helped her to learn the best and most effective way to ride her bike. Ever since they were little kids he has been her protector and good friend.

Here is the star doing the cool motor cycle language sign. I was so proud of her and how awesome she rode and handled her motor cycle. Sometimes it was scary but she kept going and did great. She has had such a great couple of months here on the ranch. She has learned so much and done so many things. She has grown so much.
