Trish and Family

Trish and her kids are doing great! Trish is 1/2 through nursing school and going strong! We have to watch her though! She wants to give us all shots! Things have been less intense for her this summer. She has had 2 week long breaks and has enjoyed spending special time with the kids! Nursing school has been hard, but she's doing great and we are so proud of her! This is a picture of Trish and kids when we were taking a walk on the ranch. I also had to add one of the kids with their Popop because he is the center of their universe!

Another Fire

It was a busy season for the firefighters this past spring! 20000 acres were burned off during one fire, and the front entrance to this ranch was scorched! Luckily, no buildings were hurt! We're in the monsoon season now, and have had daily showers for the past couple weeks, so hopefully we're finished with the fires this year!

Ty's Remuda Grows

"Gimpy" is Ty's newest ride! He is an awesome, solid horse and Ty LOVES him! If it gets too quiet in the house, I'll look outside, and find Ty laying on Gimpy's back while Gimpy grazes in the pasture! It reminds me of when our kids were little. I loved looking out the kitchen window as I worked and watching the kids ride with wild abandon! Usually they were bareback, and often without halters or bridles!

Clays New Hobby

Look what Clay's been doing! He's braiding halters and lead ropes. A boot manufactorer saw his creations at a horse show and ordered some, then gave Clay a pair of handmade boots in exchange! These are some lead ropes that he made for a friend in Kansas!

Plan B

It doesn't look like I can keep up with the Mustang Makeover progress on a consistant basis, so be sure to check the blogs mentioned in the post below. They are both active now! Also be patient, TLee and Holly still don't have internet access. They have to blog when they come over, go to town, or climb a mountain!
