THIS POST IS ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT I AM CATCHING UP

JOSH BROUGHT A HUGE LOAD OF HAY IN A FEW WEEKS AGO. I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 180 BAILS. HERE SOME PIC'S I TOOK WHILE THEY ALL UNLOADED IT....

THIS IS FRANCIS. OR PAPA CLOUDT (CLEWT) AS THE KIDS CALL HIM. HE HAS BEEN THERE ALL WINTER LION HUNTING.


HERE THEY ARE UNLOADING THERE IS CHRISTIAN CLOUDT, FRANCIS, BRADY, AND JOSH. JOHN WAS THERE TOO, BUT I THINK HE WAS HAVING A FULL BLOWN ASTHMA ATTACK AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

HERE IS BRADY....

OH, HERE HE IS AGAIN....

THEN WE HAD TO GO RESCUE THIS BABY STEER. HE WAS LYING ON A ROCK AND HADN'T MOVED ALL NIGHT. WE LOADED HIM IN THE RANGER AND WE HAVE BEEN NURSING HIM BACK TO HEALTH. HE IS DOING JUST GREAT. HE COULDN'T WALK FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

OK. HERE IS ME THIS WEEKEND. JOSH BROUGHT THIS HORSE DUNNY UP TO THE HOUSE, HE HAD PUT MY NEW SADDLE ON HIM AND TOLD ME TO RIDE HIM. I WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE THIS HORSE HADN'T BEEN RIDDEN IN LIKE 8 WEEKS, AND WE HAVE BEEN FEEDING HIM THIS CRAZY EQUINE FOOD SO HE WILL PUT ON A BUNCH OF WEIGHT. SO I FIGURED HE WAS REALLY "HOT" WHICH MEANS REALLY HYPER FROM THE GRAIN. JOSH SAID OH NO HE'S FINE. SO I RODE HIM AROUND. THEN CADE WANTED ON SO I RODE HIM AROUND AGAIN. THEN HE BLEW UP AND STARTED BUCKING WITH US. I HELD ON AND PULLED HIS HEAD TO THE SIDE REALLY HARD, AND JOSH CAME RUNNING TO THE RESCUE. WE WERE OK. AND CADE THINKS I AM THE GREATEST BUCKING HORSE RIDING MOM IN THE WHOLE WORLD!! HE SAID LIKE 30 MINUTES LATER. "BUT MAMA YOU DID GOOD, ONLY YOU FORGOT TO PUT YOUR HAND IN THE AIR AND SAY OK I'M READY BOYS, I'M READY BOYS!" SO FUNNY!!

YESTERDAY, I CAME HOME AND THIS WAS ON THE FRONT DOOR FROM KALLIE... (SHE'S REALLY INTO VALENTINES DAY)....

TRANSLATION: (HEART)TINES DAY IS FUN. YOU GET ALONG FOR (HEART)TINES DAY. DON'T BE MEAN TO ANYONE.

AND HERE IS KID ROCK AND HER DAD......SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE KID ROCK WITH HER RAG A MUFFIN HAIR WHEN IT ISN'T DONE!

HERE IS THE COW WE RESCUED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. JOSH WAS WORKING WITH HIS PUPPIES TRAINING THEM TO BE COW DOGS, AND COLTON DECIDED TO RIDE IT. I THOUGHT I RECORDED IT, BUT I NEVER PRESSED THE BUTTON. IT WAS GREAT!! HE DID SO GOOD!!

OK THIS IS MY WEIRD KID COLTON. HE PUT IS ALMOST NEW $40 DOLLAR CINCH PANTS ON THE FIRE PLACE TO WARM THEM UP BEFORE HE WORE THEM LAST WEEK. THEN WHEN HE CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL HE HAD A MAJOR KNEE BLOW OUT. HE SAID HE JUST KNEELED DOWN AND THEY BLEW OUT, WELL AFTER SOME CLOSE INVESTIGATION, HE HAD SCORCHED THEM AND BASICALLY BURNT THEM. SO HE CUT THEM INTO SHORTS WHILE THEY WERE STILL ON HIS BODY. HE CUT THEM SO SHORT THE POCKETS HANG OUT. WE TOLD HIM NOT TO WORRY, BRADY HAS SEVERAL PAIRS OF WRANGLERS LIKE THIS, HE THOUGHT THAT WAS A TYPICAL LENGTH OF CUT OFF SWIMMING SHORTS. AND DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THE ROPE ON HIS ANKLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT'S ABOUT.....BUT HE HAS ALL OF THE CUT OFF PARTS HE SAYS HE'S SAVING THEM FOR NANA TO SEW IT ALL BACK TOGETHER..

BIRDIE HAS AN OBSESSION WITH MY HAND CREAM...NEED I SAY MORE....
