Life at the Ranch

My front porch somewhat complete. Notice the rockers, aren't they cute. I bought them and they were white so I decided to give them a makeover. I luv them!!Notice my wildflowers coming up, they weren't quite ready to bloom in this picture but they are now!!
More porch picts.Tyler took this picture off of the front porch. We just had a afternoon shower and it really cooled things off, it was kinda chilly. You can see how blue the sky is with rain. Mamma and Bronc Baby all bundled up, look how smiley he is in this picture. Uncle Tell took this picture, good job!!
Our little family

The Flood

We had nearly 13 inches of rain in a weeks time. It was crazy, it rained forever seemed like. I was going to upload some video of the water running but it wouldn't work, go figure. Tyler's mom came to hang out with me two weekends ago while Tyler was gone to a rodeo. It happened to be the weekend we got a ton of rain while she was here. This picture is the bridge that you drive over to get to our house. There never is any water in it unless if rains a ton. This water was probably a good 5 ft deep and running super fast. Crazy fast..
We drove around the ranch looking at all the water, cruising thru water, tons of mud... It was alot of fun. Umm... no comment on Bronc driving, thanks!!
Behind me is another place on the ranch that the water was gushing and running like crazy.
So later on I told Linda we should follow the water on the 6-wheeler by our house. We drove for a quite some time and never could get to the beginning. The dogs love to go for 6-wheeler rides. The 6-wheeler was parked but in drive still, well we kinda were on an incline. The river was just about 3 foot from the front of the 6-wheeler. I was busy taking pictures and all of a sudden it starts to roll right towards me and it is headed to jump off the side of the river bank.... Scary... I would say a good 7 ft drop or so.. Yikes... Linda starts to freak out and I casually grab the brake on the handle bars and stop it. Good thing the dogs know how to swim.. Ha.. was that funny? I thought it was. Linda was pretty scared.

My pups and Bronc baby, that boy loves 6-wheeler rides. I imagine because when I was huge pregnant I would drive it up to the neighbors when the roads were muddy. I would have to leave my car at the neighbors in order to get out for work. So he is used to it!!

Bronc Baby and Mamma!!

Camera Charger Check!!

Well, I finally got my camera charger so I am back in action!! I nearly missed out on a whole month of taking pictures. Craziness. Enjoy the picts. of our little man. He is starting to show some personality to us now which is quite comical at times. Here is a picture of Bronc enjoying his teething ring, he loves to put things in his mouth already!!We went to Plainview last weekend to mow the jungle and here is Bronc at Aunt Joan's house. We also spent one night with Riley, Tori and Scout but for some reason didn't snap a single picture. We really enjoyed our short visit!
Bronc Loves his Bumbo chair. I call it his Bumbo Dumbo chair, always have to make up a weird name with everything.... He can sit up like a big boy in it.
Some Daddy and Bronc time!!

My cute little man! Isn't he getting long!!

A quiet moment in the car seat. He hates his car seat. Poor little fella.

O.k, Tyler has a thing now of letting Bronc taste different foods like ice cream and watermelon. Well, Bronc looovvveess watermelon. Every time Tyler would take it away from him he would start to whine and get grumpy and then when we would give it back to him he was so happy. I tried to post the video of it but it wouldn't work, I'll try later.

Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th!! I had the choice to go to Colorado Springs with Bronc Baby in the car for 9 hours or go to Abileno for 1.5 hours. I chose the latter. That boy hates his car seat. Probably because when we go to check water and put out mineral on the ranch we kinda let him be out of the car seat. Don't get mad we are on the ranch driving around Tyler's country, no one sees us... I feel bad... But it is just o.k. Get over it... O.k!! Over it...

So I decided to go to my Mom's casa lassa!! I made that up, what does lassa mean?? I don't know, I just say it all the time. Bronc was good for 45 minutes and then it was on. The screaming began and I told him that he had to stay in his car seat. Not that he understood, but he continued to scream anyways. So that went on for about 15 minutes off and on and then he wore himself out and went to sleep for the rest of our trip. Yeah!! I could actually hear my music, brown chicken brown cow or bow chicka bow wow..!!!

We had fun, we just relaxed ate good food and watched it rain. We did a little shopping and that was about it. I really missed going to beautiful Colorado Springs, I luv that rodeo. Oh well!! Life goes on!!

I Did It....

I am officially a full-time MOMMA! My job was wanting me to continue my work on the Lubbock/Plainview route, which would make me live in Plainview half of the week. Originally we had discussed that I would work the routes closer to our new home, but they kinda hired someone out of Abilene and she is gonna do that route now. So... my pickle you see. I couldn't find a babysitter and didn't want to lug Bronc back and forth to P-ville. The whole big purpose of moving here was to start a new life here. Tadah!! I am officially unemployed..... It is really quite scary, really the only part that is scary is my big cushy paycheck is no longer existent. So now onto POOR BOY RANCH WAGES!! We will make it work, I luv our awesome God, he always prevails. I turned it over to Him, and I know that he will direct us in the right path and bless us tremendously. The ranch folks at the Tongue River started a weekly bible study. I really am enjoying it. We meet every Monday at Becky and Tom's house. We take turns bringing supper and then we study. We are doing a Beth Moore study, Genesis is the book we are studying. I actually am understanding it much better, that was always a hard one for me, actually the entire Old Testament is hard for me. So, I am getting fellowship with great people and our Father. It has been really good for me!!

So, my camera charger is still lost. I am going to order me one today, I miss taking pictures. So maybe in a week or so, I will post some picts. Bronc is doing great! He is really smiling, talking baby talk, laughing some and sleeping longer at night. Can I get a Woop-Woop!! Like last night he slept 7 hours!! It was lovely! I love my pillow. .. We have a nice little morning routine where we sleep in together. Well, more to come I'm sure!!
