These Boys

These boys melt my heart on a daily basis.  They are my precious little loves.  

So many moments shared with them that fill my heart with happiness and love.  

Tyler and I are so blessed to have these two awesome little boys!

Secret Santa Blogger Present Arrived

I received my Christmas in the Country present yesterday! I was so excited it came from Utah! I had no idea who got me, but learned it was Jessy from www.larkandfox.wordpress.com

She sent me a postcard from the Dinosaur National Monument with a nice message.  In her message she said feel free to open before Christmas.  Well of course I couldn't wait! 

My presents wrapped all nice and neat!

This girl did fantastic picking my gifts. I jumped up and down because my new coffee mug was the bomb! A Pendleton mug that holds a ton of coffee and she even said a can of soup as well! I also got some new coffee to sample as well as this awesome Christmas tree ornament!

Good morning cup of Joe!  This made me happy!

Thank you Jessy from the Texas Panhandle.  I absolutely love my gifts.  They fit me to a tee! It was fun making a new long distance friend that I hope to keep up with!  Merry Christmas!

Christmas in the Country 2014

This year I am participating in a blog exchange.  I believe there are 69 total blogs that are participating across the U.S. And Canada.  We had to submit our favorite things and a little about ourselves.  Then the organizers select myself a blogger to send a present to.  I then send a Christmas gift to them via mail secretly until they open my gifts! It will be exciting to see who received me as their secret blogger friend.  Merry Christmas!

2014 WRCA Finals

The WRCA finals arrived yet once again.  Every year it seems it gets here faster and faster.  Sandhill Cattle Co. qualified so we got to enjoy the four day festivities in Amarillo. I took the boys to get new felt hats.  They enjoyed playing in the saddle chairs.  The little toots ended up not wearing their new hats at all.  They wanted their straw hats.  I guess a broke in hat feels better than a stiff one!

Bronc practicing his one handed riding, just like Daddy.

My Loves

Tyler and Frenchie

My blogger friend Rachel and her family came to the rodeo.  We really enjoyed our boys getting to play! She has four boys! Bless her! She is tough.

The guys fixing to rope in stray gathering.  

So this guy won both rounds of the bronc riding and the average.  He made two awesome rides on Harry Vold bronc's.  He makes it look so easy.  He rides with class and style.  I was one proud wifey.  Tyler won the Bronc riding average in 2007 and now seven years later at age 36.  He told me he thought he would never get it done again.  He was blessed with two amazing rides and scores.

2014 WRCA Bronc Riding Champion

Sandhill ended up 6th overall out of 24 teams.  They made quite the comeback after two no times.  We enjoyed our trip to the finals and hope to make it back next year.
