Athletic Supporters and ECR

<

First I want to thank our athletic supporters - Dawn, Chad, Holly, and Ty. They all helped in dozens of ways, and made a great weekend extra special! I also wanted to add a link to Merrick Studios. Those of you who want, can go there to see some professional pictures of the guys! I especially urge you to look at Teryn Lee's pictures # 24 and 25. His horse stumbled on an uphill bareback jump. The picture is awesome. You can copy the following link and paste it in as an address, or you can do a search for Merrick, go to Event Proof Page 2008, then go to ECR, then find the Teryn's in the alphabetical listing. http://merrickstudios.morephotos.com/mp_client/pictures.asp?eventid=0&eventstatus=0&categories=no&keywords2=no&groupid=%201911&bw=false&sep=false
I put a picture of Teryn and Holly with his new saddle, and the other picture is of Ty accepting "PopPop's" buckle. Teryn was in the middle of selling his horse and didn't get back in time for the awards ceremony, so Ty helped him out!

Eat Your Heart Out Sister!

We ate out with Clay and Amber and her family. Little Ayden is adorable and seemed very content! I thought I'd upload a few pictures for the family, since Ivy has been having trouble with her blog!

A Visit with Clay

We got to visit with Clay briefly. He looked great, and told us that he got A's in some really tough classes that would have knocked me on my rear! We're hoping that Big Teryn and Clay can enter a Cowboy Extreme competition sometimes within the next year!

6/20 ECR Results

A couple pictures from the Extreme Cowboy Race this past weekend. Father and Son competed in the Amature and Professional divisions respectively. Teryn Lee won his division earning his 4th championship. Big Teryn got 8th and was happy to win his first ever buckle. I'm pretty sure I'll be in the dog house for putting up the picture of TLee entertaining himself with Ty's techno gadgets on the trip up. There is also a picture of the belt buckles, the Teryn's relaxing, and TLee giving Big Teryn last minute instructions, and last but not least Craig Camreon interviewing Big Teryn.

My Grandkids!

Looks like Ryanna has more in common with 'Mimi' than a middle name and wild hair. I think she loves donkeys!! Look at Ryanna doing the army crawl! I had to add Poppop and Ty riding horses.

TLee's Visit

These are a few pictures from the weekend. Teryn Lee did an Extreme Clinic for the Cowboy church. Also 7/8 of the family, Holly and Teryn, and Tio and Ryanna

Sweet Little Ryanna

Trish said that she took Ty and Ryanna swimming the other day, and Ryanna played and played until she turned blue. When Trish took her out of the water to warm her up, Ryanna cried until they got back in. I can't wait to go swimming with my grandbabies!!

Wonderful, Lovely Donkeys!!

Last night our chapel group met here at the ranch, and I put MiHijo through his paces. He was a HIT! They loved his tricks!
The other day, I was trying to get MiHijo to pick up a piece of paper sack for me, but he thought the sack was a donkey eater! So we had a little 'situation' on our hands. As I was working with MiHijo trying to convince him that the sack wouldn't hurt him. Teryn made the comment that he thought I would win the battle. I smiled inwardly thinking that Teryn was aknowledging my superior intelligence and awesome training ability. After I thought about it for a minute, I realized that there was a certain smugness in his voice that sort of changed the meaning of what he'd said! He was really referring to another quality that donkeys in general, and I specifically, are well known for. Whatever the reason, I am proud to say that Teryn's prediction was accurate. It won't be long before MiHijo and I can take a walk, and he will pick up trash for me!
I'm adding a site about the Burro Lady of the Big Bend. It's worth it to take a look at the article. The Burro Lady was a living legacy for many years. I always admired her, and it was always a treat to see her in her travels! The following is one web address - http://www.bigbendchat.com/portal/forum/whats-happening/%91burro-lady%92-dead-at-age-65-t2926.0.html;msg56596 If you have trouble with that address you can type in a search on: judy ann mager @ big bend chat. com - a good article should come up.

School's Out!!!

A couple of pictures of Ty's end of year activities: baseball, and the Elementary Musical. I tried to get a picture of his award's ceremony - he made the A B Honor Roll, but he was walking too fast. Some of you may recognize the picture on the rock outside the college where the musical was held.
