A Cowboy’s Wife

Tyler, my oldest, has sorta always felt like my brother in a way.  I mean, I did have him at 17 after all so we kinda grew up together in a sense I suppose.  He always gave me a hard time from the early newborn days until about 14.  I remember waking up at 2am [...]

My BIL &  SIL had a baby today!!  Please say Happy Valentine’s and Happy Birthday!

Not much happening.  Gotta go and get groceries today so I won’t be on much.  Lovin’ it though.  Here’s a few pictures I took and edited.
First one is of a spur my man made and had in his back pocket.  

This one is of my man helping the bronc rider get ready this weekend at [...]

When you photograph horses, it’s always important to get the right stance.  The wrong stance can make their hindquarters look small, make them look skinny, and their head look big.  Taking the picture is only half the problem, getting the horse to cooperate is the other half.
I’m no professional by any means but here are [...]

We have a great family, most of the time.  My oldest son Tyler, has a very strong work ethic.  He’s not lazy by any means and it always willing to do a some work regardless of whether he’s getting paid or not.  I love that.  A kid that will work hard for nothing.  You don’t [...]

Our friends, on the neighboring ranch, have miniature ponies.  Well, a new baby was born this weekend so we headed over today to see the lil fella.  Oh goodness he’s a cutie!  I took quite a few pictures and just had to share them with you.  Truett even got to pet on the little pony.  [...]

You know, Elmer really is a beautiful horse.  He’s huge with a golden mane and tail and he really is a ‘Gentle Giant’.  Our friends we’re here this weekend and when she called him this, I knew it was the perfect nickname. 

There will be no rambling roundup today.  I’ve got too much on my plate right now and frankly, I just don’t have time to go around and find interesting posts.  Sorry.  My standmixer contest is over finally.  While I’m thankful for all the entries, links, and votes…I’m glad to not have to deal with that [...]

I’m so glad the weekend is over!  These kids eat like they ain’t gonna eat again in their lives.  All the boys had so much fun though so I’m glad.  Tyler’s the cool one and they all said that they thought Tyler’s DAD was DA BOMB!  LOL.   They said he’s sooooo strong because of the [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, my husband brought home 2 colts.  They need halter breaking, which is where Tyler comes in.  They’re just yearlings and have never been touched and sure enough haven’t had anything put on them before. 
For those who have no clue what halter breakin’ is….it’s basically getting the horse used to having a rope [...]

One of the things my husband did on his way to Colorado was pick a colt for his brother from his brother…get it?   What I didn’t know is that he would come home with 2 colts!  Yep, he went and bought one on his little visit.  They’re cute little boogers ain’t they.  Because they wouldn’t go [...]

Ummm, if I’m not mistaken, I thought horses were faster than goats?  I really didn’t expect to see the horses running in for feed time with a goat leading the way…lol.  He looks kinda cute out there being the leader though. Just in case you’re having a hard time spotting him, he’s brown and white and [...]
