Tonight we went to the Buckaroo Rodeo and entered our Grandsons, Kaleb (6) and Kyler (4), to mutton bust. Kaleb cowboyed up and rode his sheep like no other. Kyler "Cowboy" decided he wanted to wait for next year to ride his sheep. Kaleb stayed on that big ole sheep like a real cowboy. They both received a belt buckle and I bet Kaleb remembers his ride every time he wears it. Grandpa and Grandma are so proud of Kaleb for showing that sheep whose boss. Yee Haw!!!!
For the last two days, Danielle and Courtney, spent precious time together. They seemed to be inseparable all day Friday and most of the day today. I love it when my girls laugh together and enjoy each others company, immensely. The last two days have shown me their sisterly love. They both get along really well and I am so thankful for this. Friday they hung out all day and then went to a movie together. Today was a messy day and the videos below will prove this. I know they both had a blast spending time together. Courtney, especially, is thankful for their time together because Danielle seems to be preoccupied with work and her boyfriend and Courtney often tells me how much she misses spending time with her sister.
I pray that all four of my daughters will have a close relationship through out their lives. This, truly, does a Mama's heart good!!!!!
Short conversation between me and Kelly as we are going over to watch the girls mud bog (across the street from out house).
Kelly: Those girls better not get that 4wheeler stuck (something like that).
Me: Did Brad say, "Tanner better not get that truck stuck". (gotta love that kid.)
Kelly: Yeah, but that's different, he's a boy and these are girls.
TYPICAL FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but...... gotta love that father.
What great memories I had while repainting this cow and these two birds that my sweet and caring father inlaw made, whom I truly miss. Kelly's brother, Brad, moved to Georigia and had some things left at his house in St. George that he wanted Kelly to have and these were included. I was excited to see these things that Kelly's dad, Merlyn, made cause we didn't have any of his awesome welding creations. While Kelly was in Colorado, the week before last, I wanted to surprise him by repainting his dad's cow and birds (years outdoors had done it's toll). It took me some time but what a blast I had. I took them down to our barn and plugged in Courtney's latest CD and let my memories flow. I could, almost, hear Merlyn telling me that spray paint is the way to go. I'm sure I didn't get my spray paint, here locally, as cheap as he did but, it worked just the same. OK, I cheated on the body of the cow and used the paint I had left over from painting our living room and kitchen. I really enjoyed working on the cow and birds, thanks Brad for letting Kelly have them. Now, if only I can figure out a way to weld that damn leg back on the cow. Stands up pretty good with the leg just leaning against it....... until the winds come. Again, great memories!!!!!!!
