Cowboys and Ropers

Our first Christmas on the ranch was wonderful!

James Cowboy getting ready to rope him some animals.
Wyatt wanted to help
We went out early one morning to feed animals. The kids toddled out in their PJ's to help. Wyatt found a puddle to toss a few rocks into.
Soon his brother was helping him. Notice how James can't leave the house without his cowboy hat?
The sky was SO blue on this day! I couldn't get over how beautiful it was!

Izzy and Dad watching and waiting while our brisket smoked
Latest past-time: having races on the ranch. Isabel is going to be a marathon runner, I think!
June Bug is getting more and more comfortable with her new surroundings.
Perhaps a bit TOO comfortable!
We saddled her up on Saturday for a ride. The ground had finally dried out a bit and she was ready to go!

The rest of the gang.

We all like to try James' new lasso. Here I am giving it a try!



Every day I feel blessed that this is our life.
