AN ATTEMPT AT AN UPDATE.....

Ranch life has been so great, considering I have spent every Monday through THursday in the valley, shopping, swimming, and canning! Josh just finished in Sierra Vista TODAY! He took Kallie this week, and she has been having a good time, the first night was sushi and the book store, to buy the sequal to her book Ivy and Bean. Next was swimming and Golden Corral, and last night was Texas Road House. She was so exited to go!
Here is a brief update on our Summer: I have no pic's because I can't connect my camera to this computer SO SORRY~~

Josh: SIERRA VISTA...HAYSTACK RANCH...and absolutely nothing else, sooo boring and tiring but we are so happy he is finally done down there!

Misty: Valley canning chicken and apricots from our apricot tree at the ranch. Swimming, PLA (Pacific Livestock Auction) hanging out watching our cows sell for $1.10 per lb!! While all the other cattle were going for $0.65 to about $0.88 cents! Hanging out at the ranch, moving cows, going to the river, loving it!! I wish I could put some pic's on here! I left my suburban at the ranch because we had to bring a load of cows down to sell, and so I am a dodge 1 ton flatbed driver. I got it detailed, and I'm good to go. I don't want to drive my suburban in and out of the ranch all of the time, and this part semi truck dodge thing I've been driving gets 23 miles to the gallon! I think I love it!! Except that my left leg is going to be extremely buffer than my right from pushing in the clutch!

Colton: Is Working for Clint Lilly, a cutting horse trainer and a good friend of Josh's. He works from 5 am to 1pm everyday. He is in absolute HEAVEN! It is the only thing that makes being in the valley worth while to him. He got his Bear at Scout Camp a few weeks ago, We are so proud of him. We made a Summer goal Chart for family night a few weeks ago, Coltons goal was to break his colt "Surprise" over the summer. And read 5 chapter books...the book thing was more moms idea

Kallie: Kallie has had some fun play dates with cousins, and friends, she is going to a play on TUesday night, and has been at work with Josh in Sierra Vista this week. She wanted to cut her hair, but dad said HECK NO, so we didn't. Her goal was (on her own) to read 10 chapter books, 3 down...7 to go! THis little girl loves to read, and it makes us so happy. She will be sitting there laughing so hard, reading or she will get really sad, I am so glad she has a love for books.

Cade: Is making his mother pull her hair out. Seriously, this kid is out of control. Nana came home today and he said "nana i've been missing you all the day, I love you....will you ake me some cookie dough?"...Now he is sitting at the counter on his like 3rd BOWL of Cookie dough. At this point I'm jut going to let him keep going, in hopes he just pukes and gets it over with!! He is loving being here with Ashley and Lindsay and Matt! He has a new love...his name is Doug Alvey, Cade calls him Duck Alvey. Doug made all of us these cool belts, and Cade goies NOWHERE without his on, he wears it with a night shirt, and he wears it naked. I have pictures, but can't download them, they are hilarious.

Birdie: Playing paper rock scissors, intsy wintsy spider and climbing out of her play pen everytime it's time to sleep, also waking up at 5 am.

We miss everyone so much, but luckily have had lots of visitors at the ranch! I think this ranch life fits us just fine!!
