We Love the Ranch!

Ford is looking at the champion calf handlers! He someday wants to be just like them!

Ford got right there in the action watching the branding and watching daddy.

Ford got more comfortable with the horses towards the end of the trip.

Here is Izabel and Elli doing their job scaring the calfs into the coral. The fun didn't last too long because Izabel just about got ran over by a calf. She would have if Uncle Chad hadn't saved her.

Here is everyone checking up on Izabel to make sure she was okay. She was fine once she got back to work scaring the calfs.

We could not find Izabel, there she was in the big loader loving it! When Ford saw he had to get in too.

Dad took them for a ride in the loader, it was nice that Adam got to use this big machinery for the concrete job instead of his strong back.

Here is Izabel on the horse with Grandpa McGee, she was a little nervious if you can't tell from the expression on her face.

When Ford saw Izabel freaken out on the horse he freaked out too. Thank goodness Grandma Zan was there.

Here is the first day of branding. Grandpa McGee is still going strong doing that hard work!

May means get the garden ready!

Ford loves to throw, especially dirt! He loves to throw the dirt in his hair. So at the end of the day I have a dust covered little boy!

Here are the kids getting dirty as usual. Izabel loves digging in the dirt finding bugs and worms.

Here is Grandpa Doug rototilling our garden. Uncle Jay cut down a big tree that was in the way of the garden and Adam dug out the stubborn stump and roots. All I have to do now is get the garden planted!

Here is a close up of Ford show casing his new hair cut if you can tell, he looks taller now and a lot older with his new do.
