On to Boston!!

Our flight begins on a grand ol' Southwest flight!!  I love Southwest, I fly it on a regular basis!!  We flew out of Denver straight to Boston.  It was about a 4 hour flight.  Bronc did amazingly well!!  He slept about an hour and then was awake the rest of the time, playing and snacking!

We have arrived in Boston and this is our caravan of luggage, we all thought we packed light... Doesn't look like it here!!!

This is our first hotel we stayed in, the Westin.  It was a really beautiful, huge hotel.  Not to far from the Boston Harbor.  Bronc really like looking out our big window, what a cool view!!

 

Here is a view of one of the cities awesome skylines!! 

Bronc and his Bracelet!!  This is a bracelet that Tyler made for me in 2007 out of an old poly rope.  I wore it all the time and when Bronc was born he would always hold onto it when he would nurse.  So it is kinda like his "comfort item".  He always chews on the thing and loves to hold it when he is asleep.

This is a really nice boat on the Harbor. 

We went on a Duck Tour which was really pretty cool.  As horrible as I am with history, all I can remember is that these were used in I think WWII as land vehicle as well as boat.  This Duck toured us all around the best places to see in Boston and then we plunged into The Charles River.  Bronc loved it!!!!

 Beautiful Churches in Boston

A really interesting looking bridge

This is our reflection in this glass building as we passed by.  We were in the HOT PINK DUCK!!! 

The Cheers Pub from TV!!

There are several graveyards along your path in Boston.  Right in the middle of the city.  In strange places in my opinion.  I am used to seeing cemeteries off to themselves, these however are right in town. 

This particular one Paul Revere, John Hancock and even Mary Goose aka Mother Goose are buried here.  

Isn't this so pretty!!  I love flowers and they were all over the city!!

 This is the Holocaust Memorial.  There were six different towers that were really tall and you could walk through them all.  Each one is dedicated to the 6 Death Camps.  Each tower has numbers etched in the glass for each Jew that was killed. 

6 million Jews were slaughtered and 1/2 a million of these were children.  This was really an interesting place to visit. 

 After our Duck Tour we decided to walk all over Boston.  There are several of these water attractions for children to play in.  Something different to me as well.  The city life is really interesting, you see business men and women walking all over the city. They are walking in heels and business attire.  I bet they have sore feet on a regular basis.!

That is pretty much a wrap up of Boston, we were there for one night and one day.  On to Concord next. 

Oh, and I must say there will be a post about Dunkin Doughnuts...another shocker!

Vacation Part One

Tyler's Mom and Sister had a trip planned to Boston and Maine, which was unbelievable!!  I kinda invited myself.....  Wondering if I shoulda just stayed home......But I didn't!!  We drove to Colorado to Rachelle's on a Sunday.  This is Bronc letting me know that he was tired of his car seat.  Note, he was just out for a diaper change and then right back in he went.  Bronc actually did really good on our 8 hour drive. 

 Stretching his legs, we got out for a bit to stretch and tend to another diaper!! Fun!

 Here is Bronc and Uncle Wes enjoying a muffin on the back porch!

Bronc being silly on the table!! This child loves to be on top of tables.

 Bronc and Uncle Wes looking at the Yaks. 

 I know one day Bronc won't appreciate this picture, but isn't it just so cute.  He really enjoyed Colorado in the buff!! There was actually green lush grass to play in, and the weather was cool.  Something we haven't seen around here in a year now. 

We stayed in Colorado until Tuesday and then flew out to Boston.  Next stop Massachusetts!!!

Me having some Kristin time!!!

Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I finally got to have some Kristin fun!!  It has been ages since I got to drag calves!!  Jodi and I drug calves at East Camp at the Perkins-Prothro Ranch the last day that Bronc and I were there.  We had fun and Bronc enjoyed himself as well!!

I could do this on a daily basis and never get tired of it!!

Talking to my honey! 

Sweet kiddos!!! 

So guess what is now on my agenda???  An all girls ranch rodeo team!! Yup, there is an association called the WRRA (Womens Ranch Rodeo Association), and we got us a team put together.  Im so excited, we have been practicing and our first rodeo will be at the Coors Ranch Rodeo on June 4th in Amarillo!!  Wish us luck!!

I know...I've been slacking!!! Updates coming right up!!

Good day to all!!  Busy times, going and a blowing is all we seem to know these days.  I thought it would get better since I am staying at home with Bronc now.  It hasn't....it seems worse.  It's all good, makes ya tough....not to mention tired! Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me get ya updated right quick!!!  So after Bronc's first Birthday, Tyler - Bronc and I went to the Perkins Prothro Ranch for nearly two weeks.  Bronc and I just stayed 9 days and then Tyler stayed 14 or so.  We had a great time at the ranch!! Good food, good people and good times!!  I even got to drag some calves!!  Here are a few pictures I took of the guys in action!!

 The "Crooked PP Brand" as Tyler called it!! LOL!!

Sweet Avery and Ali Jo

Meet Pepto.  Pepto is our female Red Border Collie.  She is a sweetheart, wouldn't hurt a fly.  She naturally has taken the role of babysitter when Bronc is anywhere in sight.  She follows him around and makes sure he is o.k.           BRONC'S  BESTFRIEND

 Bronc also has a natural love for horses!! 

 Our Little Cowboy in the Making!!!

I don't think I have posted a picture of Bronc with a messy face yet!!  Here he is after enjoying quesadilla's with sour cream and avacadoe!! Yum Yum!!

 Bronc riding the toilet paper, he rides everything!!

 Our child has a panty problem.  Everytime I am folding laundry, Bronc digs out the undies and strings them on his head, whips them around and runs around crazy!!  Don't know quite what that is all about, but it is pretty good watching!!

 Western Heritage Classic in Abilene, TX just got done happening!! It is an annual event and has been going on for years.  It is a big gathering!! There are vendors, ranch rodeos, ranch horse shows, chuckwagon cookoffs and much more.  I went down to help The Rusty Rose and Ranch Royalty/Cowboy Honor companies!!  It was a long 6 days, but lots of fun.

Check out our Motorized Horse that we got to try out.  It was so fun and hauled booty big time!! The man that was riding him let us take it for a spin.  This little horse would spin a hole in the ground, but didn't back up worth a darn!! We laughed the entire time riding him around!!

Another mode of our transportation.  We decked out the 6-wheeler and drove around throwing out free goodies from Ranch Royalty/Cowboy Honor!!

I've decided I am going to start a new fashion trend...Sunburn jewlery!!

 

Meet Mr. Fishlips 

 Time for Bronc's First Haircut EVER!!!!

When we got home from Abilene yesterday, this is the first thing Bronc did.  He climbed into the dog's waterbowl, he thought it was the swimming pool that he had been swimming in at Mimi's house all week!! Little booger!!!  Oh, and notice his little boy haircut he is sporting!!!  So cute!!
