Getting Your Child Ready for the Real World

Following is a guest post. As the saying goes, the children are our future. As parents we feel the need to guide our children in the right direction so that they can live fulfilled, happy and successful lives. Unlike us, however, our children are growing up surrounded by technology. It’s an integral part of our [...]

Cowpoke’s New-Old Horse, Smokey, Rainy Days, and Wet Boots

We haven’t seen rain in FOREVER around here so the nice shower we had the other day was absolute heaven.  We let Truett play in the rain puddles all evening, fully clothed and all, including his Mickey Mouse ears he got from Disney World.  Those are the little moments I enjoy most. Remember Sparkplug?  Well, [...]

Tryin’ to Catch Me Ridin’ Cozy

40th logo (2)

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, I had one, almost everyone had one over the years it seems.  They were so much fun and required leg work, which is always good for the heart.  Nothing against the battery powered ones or anything but it always seems like with something more simple like this little coupe, it [...]

Terror of Tiny Town

It’s hard to believe that it took 10 years for us to be blessed with this handsome lil’ fella but it did and now he’s a three year old terror.  Can someone tell me who the heck made up the terrible two’s because they were wrong. It’s the terrible three’s.  Three–where they can do everything [...]

Dandy’s Western Wear One Man Rodeo Show

Temp 569

I’ve always gotten the cutest little comments about my boys when they were growing up. I guess there’s just something about seeing a little fella in Wranglers, boots, and a cowboy hat. Anyways, we headed out to the Dandy’s to buy Toby some Cinch Jeans that are SUPER cheap ($20 in fact because he buys [...]

I decided to force my kids to take pictures with me even though I hate pictures myself.  I don’t have very many with my boys so we did a few quick ones.  I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend and we spent almost every single moment together the entire weekend! We went to a ranch [...]

three-ring-adventure

Have you seen these swing sets?  These beautiful wooden swing sets that when you look at them, you go wow?  Clearly it’s more than a swing set, it’s a whole playground! I have a terrible memory but I truly don’t recall ever having a swing set or even a little swing for that matter, I [...]

I think all these photos represent Summer fun!  You’ve got steak from barbecuing, the beautiful scenery and sunset, and a cutie patootie swimmer.  What else could you ask for?  BUT, since I can only enter ONE photo into the 5M4M contest, I’m entering the third picture of my little man swimming:) Could this be part [...]

Little Man

Little man is growing so fast.  He’ll be 2 September 25:)  He’s got so much personality that I just melt when I sit and watch him.  He’s a singin’ & dancin’ dude and if he’s not a cowboy when he grows up, he might be a famous performer! I gave him his first buzz a [...]

Unique in Their Own Way

Just a random post today.  I’ve got some house cleaning to do and won’t be on the computer much today.  I thought I’d post a photo of each of my loves.  They are all tired and filthy but still cute.  They all are so unique and it’s always interesting to see what they’re gonna say [...]
