Marlee didn't like being on a horse as much as she did last time-shes kind of afraid of heights now.
This girl wants her Dad to hold her all the time & he is happy to.
the boys caught this^
Marlee had fun with this toy car^
And she loved being pushed in the swing by so many
this baby calf was so cute
We had lots of fun taking rides in the ranger:

The best looking cowboy
I can't believe how long Marlee's hair is getting!
the boys also caught this:
the kids had fun playing games
The Beesons came & brought us a baby cat. The mother is Alley cat-a cat we gave them a while ago because we were moving & couldn't keep it. Port was so sad to say goodbye to Alley cat & now he has one of her kittens that looks just like Alley. It is a boy & is named Buddy.
cutest little girl I know
Some of the cows that were just rounded up:
Marlee loves the cows & said moo over & over again.
Branding the cows- the kids liked watching.

It was such a beautiful night
The Smarts-Josh doesn't know that you can smile in pictures:)

The guys butchered a steer & cooked it in a smoker- it was very good meat.

Marlee liked having room to roam
Clayton caught a turtle:
Porter reading a book to his cousin Kalie aka white lightening
I even got to go on a roundup & rode Custer
I think the desert is so pretty-the views are great when you are riding a horse.
Our dog Sage went out on the round ups & was so tired at night that she could barely walk.
brothers-Ryan, Jared, & Laun
Bringing the cows in:
I love this man-we have so much fun together!

We went to the river to cool off, here are the kids loaded up & ready to swim:
Us girls- you like how white I am compared to Marlee
The kids had fun swimming & building sand castles:
Marlee with Buddy on the way home:
We stopped by where our dog Huck is buried:
We had such a fun time & it was nice to have a long weekend so we could stay a while. Misty made us great food as always & Laun made his bacon & jalepeno hamburgers for everyone. We came home tired from staying up every night with all the adults talking but, it was worth it.
And with it being memorial day weekend, Lucy let me know that Cooper & Mikes graves were decorated & visited- I'm so happy thankful for family remembering our baby.
