If you give a boy a rope, he will want a horse to go with it. You’ll get him the best horse you can find, and then he will probably want a saddle and bridle and dummy too. Then, he will probably spend hours begging you to "make a loop" for him... even though you may be busy cooking supper or patching jeans
What WOULD I tell that kid about his marriage? What do people say? Let me think.... *never stop dating your wife *don't go to bed angry *always kiss her goodnight. *GAG *LAME. ~ Take your woman to bed with you. I know what your thinking. Sex. Sure, yes have lots of fun sex, that's a big part of it, but that's not what I mean by taking your woman to bed with you.
You know the drill. You know the story, “Hi, I’m Amy. I have lost 64 pounds and blah blah blah.” But you don’t know this one, “Hi, I’m Amy and I gained back a bunch of weight”! I’m guessing you haven’t heard that one yet. Well, let me tell to you. It’s the truth that nobody in the weight loss industry ever wants to talk about.
On a funny note… eat naked in front of a mirror. I promise you will eat less !!! It’s scary Naked. You will see every flaw and imperfection. Every stretch mark, fat dimple, skin roll, and end up shaming your body. Turn the corner and learn how improve your health and learn to love yourself and your body. Turn the flaws and imperfections into victories and celebrations.
If you give a girl a rope, she will want a horse to go with it. You’ll get her the best horse you can find or she will talk her Dad out of his.... and then she will probably want a saddle and bridle and barrels to run.
When you have dreams of winning. Dreams of competing... Dreams of Gold Buckles waiting for ya at the Finals. You make your life work around your dreams.
My original goal was to get to 150 pounds so that I could wear any kind of pair of pants I wanted to any rodeo. They didn't have to be starched, but I blew right past that.
I can't bore you all with all the stories we shared over the years, but I must make note that I'm the woman, mother, wife, and cowgirl because of the man I once called Old Cowboy and now call Dad!
At cow camp this spring I got the chance to be around several father-son, father-daughter, and 3 generations of families. Just like most families, you could see lots of resemblance from Grandpa to Grand Son, and Great Grandpas to Grand Daughters.
After months and months in the hospital, Tyler was sent home to live life as best as he could with no arms and short a toe or two..... Feeling sorry for himself and sitting around wondering why me... were not something he did.... Instead, he figured out how to rig up everything on the place so that he could go on.

This week we will take our children back home with us and expose them to a new memory in life. A funeral. As parents, we have decided in the past that they were not quite old enough to understand the reason or the meaning of a funeral, but we now feel in our hearts it is time to teach them how to show respect for someone that was very important in their childhood.
Always looking for a way to make things run better, faster, and of course smoother.......His ideas always start with "It'd be better if you take them through that gate, down that ally"......" You can figure out the rest of the story....haha
Chris and Carlee got asked to ride Broncs at the Wild West Show in Dewey, Ok...... Our friend Shannon took this picture. It is such a neat place. Everything is old-time there from the fence, to the speakers, and to the grass arena..... makes for a great picture!!
When Chris came back in the yard this evening after a short ride on a colt, we got to looking at the old windmill in the front yard. I LOVE windmills, but this one is old and not too pretty to look at and it is right on display in the circle drive.
I'm not sure how many times I heard Michelle ask me that from Tyler Tx to Oklahoma City.....So this is the Crazy, Fun, Fast, but Successful Road trip we had!
After a long winter of the same ole day in and day out of stringing yearlings on a feed line and pulling sick cattle......summer prowling is always something to look forward to.
