Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving most families get together and eat lots of turkey and dressing, and watch football.....but not us! We get together and work cattle. Yes, we eat lots of turkey too, but the majority of the day is spent horseback, and we love it! We couldn't imagine spending the holiday with our families any other way, and while we were out riding all day, it gave us lots of time to think of all we are thankful for. Quinn and I realize we both come from wonderful families who are so supportive, and we are so grateful for the family we have created. We have three healthy children, and we could not ask for anything more. We came to understand this year that what we have to truly be thankful for, are things that you can't buy with money! We love and enjoy the friendships we have had through the years that have become stronger, and also the new friendships that were created this year. We hope that all our family and friends had a great Thanksgiving also.


This momma cow really didn't like what we were doing to her baby, I was a little nervous about what she might do to me.


Quinn roped and drug calves on his horse "Rusty"

Quinn went fishing and caught two!

The kids loved watching, but stayed in the back of the truck where it was safe.






This is a cow that Bopoo(my dad) gave to the grandkids. He thought she would be easy to recognize.





This cow is super friendly, she knows we have good treats for her.
