Smores and more

We had a fun evening last Friday. We went to Amy's house, she is Tongue Rivers secretary. Her husband works for T.D. Kelsey and they live on his ranch east of Guthrie. T.D. is an amazing artist and sculptor. Check out some of his work. It is truely amazing. This Longhorn was on the side of the barn and the bull was so lifelike.
I had Morgan stand next to this horse to give you an idea on how huge this horse was!!
What a wreck that would be, by the way this piece goes for 67 grand whoppers! Wow!
Thats what I'm talking about!
So we started off our evening playing the nintendo wii. I had never played it before. Here is Tyler and Gage bowling, Gage beat Tyler! I boxed Lottie in a boxing match and TKO'ed her!! I might add that the hula hoop game jacked my lower back up, but it feels much better now.

We had a fun steak cookout and also made Smores!! Yummy!!
Amy and her girls enjoying the Smores!Our actual purpose for hanging out at Amy's was to build a fence for our photography entry at the Wichita Falls Ranch Rodeo this coming weekend. Tyler, Gage and Clell, which is Amy's husband, were nice enough to build our fence for us. Here is a sneek peak at our pictures. They turned out awesome. We all contributed photos as a group project so we have a ton of cool photos.
Starting the fence. The blister bugs were horrible that night. Crawling all over us..............
We had suprise visitors at our casa Sunday. The Brunson's stopped by on their way to a wedding. Here is Kale holding Bronc!

Summer days at the Rancho

We are still loving every minute here at the Ranch. What a blessing. I tell myself this just about daily. God really opens and closes certain doors in our lives when needed. He really has great timing. Here are a few pictures of the Tongue River crew enjoying a hot summer morning out at the roundpen.

Tyler and "Medicine Man". This is the ranches new stud that they got in the early spring. He is out of Mecom Blue, we had a colt out of this same stud and he was awesome. This is Tyler's first ride on him. He was trained prior to coming to the ranch. Let me just say, Tyler fell in looovvveee with him. He gets to rodeo on him and is going to show him as well. He is so excited!! I am too!!
My lil buddy Cutter. He loves him some Bronc Baby! I miss you guys! The Jone's family left Tongue River to go work at another ranch. We are super sad...
Amy, Hottie Lottie, Cutter, Bronc and Casen hanging out above the round pen!!Tyler down below! Ha!Stoney and Ryan roping on sale colts. This is Ryan, please say a prayer for him. He got bucked off Saturday and fractured 4 transverse processes in his lumbar spine. Wish him well!

Reunion

Sorry it has been a while. Just been busy doing Momma things and cooking for the ranch a bit. Seems like we've been on the go alot lately as well. We had the annual Borchardt family reunion two weekend's ago. Tyler had a rodeo in Nebraska and Groom so I proceeded to represent since he wouldn't be around. It is Tyler's side of the family if you didn't know! I'm sure everyone enjoyed meeting Bronc baby!! For some strange reason I didn't take but a few pictures that weekend..... So I don't have many to share! Wayne came down to the reunion and here he is holding Bronc. He also came and spent 2 days with us!! That was nice!
Here is Bronc in this ancient old bouncy chair. Maybe not ancient, but old. It is older than me. Tyler's Mom used to bounce in this thing!! Not sure what he thinks about it.

Here he is in the chair at his Great Grandparents house!!
Bronc chewing on his rag, he loves his rag!Bronc and Great Grandpa Cornelius enjoying one another!!
All in all we had a fun reunion!! Ate good food, mingled and played a little baseball of course.

Mohawk Baby

Last night after I gave Bronc his bath his hair was sticking up all over the place. I thought dang, his hair is really longer than it looks. So, I deceided to put a little lotion in his hair and give him a new cute do. His hair stuck up about an inch. He looked so cute.

Sweet boy having a morning nap. Mohawk Baby!!
Love this little Boy!!

Fly Fishing in Tejas!

Wes and Rachelle drove down from Colorado, a long 11 hour trip for just a few days. We really enjoyed having them and really appreciated them coming all of the way here for a visit!! Linda came to visit to, she recently had a Birthday so we celebrated that as well. We cooked a big steak lunch and made an awesome German Chocolate Cake..everyones fav!! We mainly stayed at the house because it was so hot this past weekend. But we did manage to take an evening trip to the fishing hole and enjoy a little fishing and some fun family time.

O.K. the one and only Wes, the outfitter ya know. Well, he brought a piece of Colorado with him. Fly Fishing...it was pretty interesting. Who woulda thunk it...Who would have thought? Proper terminology. I like mine better. Anyhoo. So Wes proceeded to fly fish and was successful. He caught supper more than once. Pretty snazzy might I add!! Fly Fishing in Texas!!

A bass that Wes caught with his Fly Fish Rod and Reel!
