Roping

The kids were riding and roping these horses while they were watching dad ride and rope.

Quinn has been roping a lot off of his 4 year old gelding 'Rusty', and he is coming along really good.

The sweetest dog ever!

Kip, my eleven year old austrailian shepard, died this past week. I can honestly say that she was the sweetest dog I have ever known. I got her when I was a junior in high school and she has been through alot with me. She was so good with my kids too, she would let them bounce on her back and pull on her ears. Any time we went anywhere on the horses, she was there every step of the way, and she loved to go feed cows. She was a great companion for many years and her death hit me harder than I ever imagined.....I'm so sad about this loss:(

She was always babysitting the kids
