Our Pups!!

Meet Ivy Baby!! This is my Corgi!!  I love this gal!! She is so funny has tons of personality and will lick you to death if allowed. 
 This is the gang, Pretty Pepto as I call her, the Red Border Collie, then Ivy and Rocky!!
 Meet Rocky.  He is a funny little guy.  His mother was a petite Corgi and his Daddy was our male Border Collie, Oreo, that ran away not long ago.  This breeding was an accident, but look how cute Rocky turned out.  Rocky took the looks of a Border Collie but inherited the short legs.  He is super fast on them!!!
 His Momma, Farrah, came to visit this past weekend and we took their picture together.  Look how big he is compared to her.!! They wrestled and chased each other all weekend long!!
 Not sure what Tyler is doing here, but we are saying goodbye as Flint leaves us for the weekend!!

Catching up!!! July through September!!

This is Bronc in July, he had just had a nice haircut not to long before that!!  He thinks he is big stuff climbing in the chairs and then he proceeds to the table top!! 
 Mr. Sock Man I Am!! Bronc loves pulling Tyler's socks off and then wearing them around!!
 They reach all the way up to his diaper!!  Silly boy!!
 Bronc enjoying his lunch!!

 Tyler and Bronc riding Peanut Butter at the Earth Ranch Rodeo!!
 My boys!!
 This little 3-wheeler is older than myself.  It has been kept around for years to pass on down for the other grandkids!!  Bronc loves scooting around on it!!
 Bronc helping Grammy shell peas.  Not sure if he is really helping or rather making a big mess!!
 There always seems to be a tornado blowing through when Bronc is around!!
 This is September!! Bronc is sitting in the stands at the Plainview Ranch Rodeo.  He has changed so much since July!! 
 Mr. Trash Man.  Bronc loves to throw the trash away!! So he was collecting trash at the rodeo!!
 Me and my handsome lil boy!!
 This little car has a funny story.  My friend Katie gave it to us.  They found it along time ago on the side of the road, so they picked it up.  Theie kids have played in it and now they have handed it on down to Bronc.  This is his absolute favorite toy that we have by far at this time.  He will play in it for hours.  And let me tell ya, what a time we have getting him out of it t.  Big fight if he isn't ready to get out!!!

This video show you how Bronc scoots aorund in his car.  Backwards mainly!! Slams the door!! Off we go!
 Does he look guilty or what??  He went and got a wad of toilet paper and was acting like he was blowing his nose.  Then proceeds to tear it into micro tiny pieces.  I didn't let that happen very long!!
 Baby Flint came to see us this past weekend at Tyler's mom's house.   It was so nice to catch up and get to be around the Good family!!
 Precious little Flint!! 6 months old!!!
Our summer has mainly consisted of rodeos, work, raising Bronc and living in between two places.  Yes, much needed update!!  Ok, first of all, we are expecting another baby in February!! Suprise!! Yes, it was a suprise to us as well!!  Its all good in the neighbor hood!! LOL!! Secondly, we are moving again and for good!!  We are moving back to the place that Tyler grew up on.  We are dabbling in a preconditiong feedyard and it is close to that place.  We had lived there for years and then moved.  So we are going back!!  Hopefully we can get moved before the baby gets here.  Hope this updates you on our crazy life!

Our Hot Texas Summer

Look at my poor yard. Does it look like July to you?  We have had some major drought this summer and hot ol' days to note as well.  It looks like winter time without the cold!  So this is one creative way to get cooled off for little Bronc.  Good ol' feed tub and a rubber ball that squirts water out!!
 

 

So this was Tyler's idea!!  We needed a bigger pool that we all could enjoy!! I was pretty agreeable since the summer has been so miserable.  Bronc loved it as well!!
 Playing in the pool as it fills up!!
 How cute is this picture, I just love it.  Little sweetheart!
 All ready to swim!!  Very refreshing!!

Oguinquit, Maine our last stop

This was my favorite part of our trip!  Maine and especially by the Atlantic coast is so beautiful.  Lush green yards and tons of beautiful flowers.  Everything just grows like you have never seen before, I guess compare that to Texas and that gives you the reason why.  Moist, Salty Ocean air and tons of rain helps!!  This is the resort we stayed at.  It was really nice!  The weather was perfect.  2 of our days there the temps. were in the upper 50's and rainy.  Compare that to the over 100 degree days we were having in June in Texas.  A 50 degree temp. change was crazy to me!!
Bronc enjoying the swing in his jammies, although he looks a bit grumpy here!!
Monkey boy checking out the ocean on the table top!
The rooms
Momma and Broncers playing in the cold ocean water and sand!
 He loved it!!
This is what I mean, look at these flowers and this perfect little ocean side home!! Wowzers!!
These wild roses grew all along the ocean coast!! Really pretty! 
 Our handsome little boy!!
 See the lighthouses in the background??
We had a really nice time on our trip to the New England area!! I recommend it to you all!!

Next Stop..Concord, MA

Tyler's Sister Rachelle, planned our entire journey along the Atlantic Coast.  What a beautiful trip.  I highly recommend it.  Our next stop was Concord, Massachusett's.  What a quaint little town!!
 We stayed at this really neat B&B called the Hampton Inn.  This town is so rich in history, not that I am a history buff or anything!! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.  Here is Bronc playing with family in the front yard of the B&B.  I have never seen anything so lush and green.  I guess because good ol' Tejas is in a major drought at this time.  It was very refreshing to be around rain, green forage and flowers!!
 This was the coolest part of Concord to me.  The story Little Women was written in this actual house by Louisa May Alcott.  We got to tour the home and 85% of the furnishings in the home were authentic.  Isn't that so cool.  Bronc was being somewhat of a pill during the tour so I didn't get to enjoy it to the fullest but I got enough of a tour to see the home and everything in it.  Recommended stop if you are ever in Concord, MA!!!

 
This is the school house that the Alcott's father built near their home.  It was really cool too!!
 While in Concord, I saw this toy store and thought it would bring Bronc great joy and fun to visit it.  He loved it.  He found a little shopping basket just his size to push around.  He pushed it all over the store, filling it up with goodies he liked!!  Silly boy!!
 Having a ball in the toy store!!
 Walden Pond was another neat attraction in Concord.  This is an actual lake that Henry David Thoreau lived at for 2 years I believe.  See there, I never remember my history.  Maybe I did though!!  Anyhoo, this is a local swimming attraction for the public as well.  It felt like I was back in time being there, it seemed that several of the people were wearing old timey bathing suits... Maybe that is why it felt that way!!  LOL!!!
Next Stop!!! Oguinquit, Maine...The most beautiful place I've been to yet!!!
