Fun On The Ranch With KW and Cowboy

Well, we think Kaleb and Kyler had a good time here at Holt Ranch. They had fun coloring halloween pictures, playing in the barn and with the rabbits, gathering eggs, decorating cookies, carving pumpkins and just spending good quality time with Grandpa and Grandma. We sure love it when they come to visit (or as Kyler would say,"Stay for three weekends").

Funny comment. I was feeding the boys breakfast, one morning, and I asked them if they would like some beet jelly for their toast. Kaleb said, "No thanks, I'll just have this grease on mine", referring to the butter on his toast. Too funny, huh!

Cosmo Fantasy Contest

Last week, Danielle entered a Fantasy Contest at her school. They had to use a model and do their hair with some kind of theme. She had Courtney be her model and she did a witch. She didn't win but I thought she did an awesome job.

Missing Our Friend

On October 18th, a good friend of ours, Jeff Alder, passed away due to a motorcycle accident. He has been a caring, dependable and great friend to Kelly since childhood. He truly will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Cathy, and his children.

No Elk :(

Well, the boys didn't get their Elk but, they sure had fun playing Guitar Hero. The competition was severe. Just look at the concentration on their faces. Dani and Courtney asked their Uncle Paul if he wanted to play. They were so excited when he said, sure. Now they think Uncle Paul is way cool.

Still No Elk Meat!!!!

But they saw some beautiful country. Kelly and Paul came home with this picture after an evening hunt. They still haven't had any luck. Kelly left for his meeting in Flagstaff this morning. Paul is on his own until Saturday for the hunt. The girls and I wish him luck.

Elk Hunt

Opening morning for the Elk Hunt. Dani was so pumped. The weather changed that real quick once she got up on the mountain. Down here at home it was raining, up top it was snowing. Kelly, Paul and Dani left the house about 6:15 am. They came home pretty bummed out cause they didn't see anything but deer and other hunters. There's always tomorrow.

Courtney Has Gone To The Darkside

Our little Vampire, we're so proud. This is what the "Twilight" series has done to our little girl. She now requests our horse's blood for dinner. We alternate from the chickens, rabbits, cats, dog and horses. The rest of the family refuses to change.

Princess Laynee

Here's some pics of our Princess Laynee. Kimi and Laynee are both doing really well and Kelly and I are so thankful for this beautiful gift from God.

Princess Laynee Is Here

Last night, October 1st at 11:14 pm, our beautiful granddaughter was born. When we left about 1am this morning, mommy and baby were doing great. Kimi and Mark named her Laynee Jo. Her weight was 7lbs. and 20 inches. Lots of dark hair. What can I say, she's beautiful just like her mama. I'll post pics later.
