6-wheeling Redneck Fun

What can I say?? We recently invested in a 6-wheeler, thanks to Wes and Rachelle!! That is probably the most handy piece of equipment we have ever bought. We feed horses out of it, haul the welder behind it, haul trash and junk and even play with it!! Of course my near 32 year old husband and Cory had to put it to good use in the snow. It was fun watching.. Here are a few pictures of our 6-wheeling redneck fun in the snow yesterday. I suggested that the guys put on some ski pants, just for added warmth and so their jeans wouldn't get so wet and cold. Ivy luvs riding in the back of the 6-wheeler. And we're off, Cory was driving and Ivy and I were in the back of the 6-wheeler. I had to get out at one point when Tyler was driving. That boy is crazy, I thought I better get out... Me and the little man on board was sccaarreddd. Plus, what if Tyler dumped us over, that wouldn't have been a good thing with a bun still in the oven!!

Jumping the ditch. As you can see I am a foot now. Thank Goodness!!

Here is a video of Tyler and Cory...

Meanwhile back at the ranch... While the guys were risking their lives, I deceided to snap up some cool pictures. This picture I took through an old dead mesquite tree, in the background is our place.

Here is picture of our place, I was about 3/4 of a mile from the house.

This little girl is so funny, she is a low to the ground kind of dog, with short legs and all. She was attempting to go across the ditch, which had about 4 foot of snow in it due to the drifts. She sunk and got high-centered and was like, Mama, HELP!!! She was stuck but she made it over!

Here is a funny video of Ivy getting high-centered again...She makes me laugh!!


All in all it was a fun morning. Tyler ended up crashing really bad and hit his head, his left knee and lower back hard on the side of the frozen ditch. Needless to say he is pretty sore and his back is swollen in the bend, but got right back on that dang tube after that crash. The price of fun and crazy fun at that!!

Snow Days

Well, most of you heard that the Texas Panhandle got slammed again with winter weather. I love it, I could be such a mountain girl. I just love snow and any activity that has to do with it. But, I live in the flatlands so I will just have to dream and visit the mountains as much as possible. Due to my pregnancy I can't ski this year :( My best bud Linda is skiing it up without me at this very moment, I am jealous!! Of course it is worth it, we will get our little man soon!! 9 weeks to go!!! The sun was setting and I happened to look out the back door and how beautiful. These pictures don't do justice at all. That is the CRP pasture just west of our house, it was perrty!!

My silly dogs were so happy that I came outside, so I thought they needed their picture taken too!! Pepto was happy for a picture and Ivy was like, yeah whatever Mom, you take enough of me as it is. She wouldn't even look at me. Silly girl... Ivy spent alot of time with me yesterday in the casa. I have a yucky cold and I just took it easy yesterday afternoon. Ivy was a snuggle-bug and I think she knew I didn't feel good. She is the best dog ever. I just love my Sugarplum!!

Attack of The Styrofoam

Oh my goodness..........it is the attack of styrofoam. Just had to note how much I am not liking this stuff. I got new furniture for my office/guest bedroom. The furniture company packaged my stuff really great. Although, every piece had a gigantous amount of styrofoam around it, not to mention a huge amount of cardborad too. It's everywhere, everywhere and everywhere.... carpet, my clothes, my socks, my hair, sticking to the walls, on the other furniture, oh and not to metion my dog Ivy even had some stuck on her. It is literally driving me bonkers seeing it everywhere. Just thought I would mention again how much I am not liking STYROFOAM!!! Well, I better go attack it with the good ol' rainbow vacumn cleaner, and then I might be a little less bonkers!!

Roller Derby Twins!!

I came across this picture the other day when I was going through my closets. It made me laugh!! Roller Derby Twins got some major Fro's going on!! My twin Carrie is on the left and I am on the right!! We were 3 in this picture!! Luv it!

Spoiled and Not Even Here Yet...

Most of you know that we had some major snow the night before Christmas Eve. So the snow kind of spoiled our Christmas plans to go to Abilene. We basically were snowed in Christmas Eve due to the gigantic snow drifts. Tyler decided he would go check on his cattle to make sure they stayed in, BIG MISTAKE!! The snow was blowing so hard that he basically drove right into our ditch about a mile from the house. Blizzard like conditions. CAN YOU SAY STUCK!! Ha, he had to walk home in it, poor thing.. Anyhoo, point being we weren't going anywhere for a while. I was pretty bummed, but then my friend Linda got flight delays so she ended up coming and spending Christmas Eve and Day with us. We got the big ol' tractor out and bladed us a path to go pick her up at John and Katies. Then we had Christmas breakfast with them, that was really nice!! SO, about 3 pm on Christmas Day, Linda and I deceided we would get the Big Dodge out and tackle going to Abilene. The roads were terrible for about an hour and then we cruised on down to Abilene. YEA!!

Spoiled and NOT Even here yet... The Moral to the Story... So I get to Mom's and it's time to open my presents. I mean to tell ya, I get a bajillion of them.. is that a word?? I use it alot... I'm thinking to myself, Mom, all I wanted was a Gift card.... Guess what?? The majority of my presents were for my little man Bronc, that isn't even here yet. There is more to the story. Time to go home and I am loading Tyler's gifts. No kidding, there were like 10 to open. I was like dang, Tyler he banked it up this Christmas. Guess what?? Yep, most of them were for the little man again!! Can you say SPOILED!!!!

Here are a few pictures for ya Mom and whoever else.

Tyler and all his Loot!! That was kind of funny. He didn't go with us to Abilene so he could check up on the cattle. But he sure did remind me to be sure and bring all his loot home. What a terd!!
Tyler and his paceys... I guess Bronc and him will have to share!
Too cute!!
This boy was so excited to get these pillows. How strange is that?? We were at Mom's for Thanksgiving and he was loving Mom's couch pillows. He asked me why we didn't have such soft pillows on our couch?? I was like, I don't know, who cares, I like the ones we have. Well, needless to say Tyler got soft pillows for Christmas!
Can you say SOFT or WORTHLESS when he hits the couch??
Look at that, the pillows are being put to good use.. I think he is spoiled too, I am in trouble!!

Kristin Is Preggo

I have a few friends that use this blog website and I thought it would be great for my family and friends to keep up with our adventures a little better!! Most of you know that Tyler and I are expecting our little baby boy the first week in April. We are soo excited!! I have been busy preparing his room and getting my house major organized. Here is a picture of me when I was nearly 6 months along.

I have had a really great pregnancy other than the sciatica that I get just about everyday. Ouch!! Legs, hips and butt-cheek pains.... No complaining here, I am fortunate to have had an easy pregnancy thus far! Tyler is ready for Bronc to get here!! Oh, I forgot to mention his name is going to be BRONC RIGGIN RICE!! My Grandma thinks it will be soo funny when he gets to talking, he will say "My name is Bronc Wiggin Wice!" Those R's are hard to say...

I will be 29 weeks along come Friday. My friends have been wanting an updated preggo picture so here ya go!! Oh yeah, don't ya just luv self portraits!!

Here are a few pictures of Bronc's Room, "Work in Progress".

My friend Linda and Katie helped me out this weekend painting and papering the office. I decided to make it a guest bedroom/office since Bronc's room used to be the guest bedroom. Now I can still offer a bed to our company instead of the couch, although it is a really comfy couch. Just ask Linda Lou. Just waiting on the new furniture to get in and then all will be complete.!!

Gotta have a sweet Ivy picture. My little sugarplum. She is the best dog ever.

I think this blog will be fun. Gonna see about making it a little more cute. Give me a few weeks. Tataa for now..
