Busy Saturdays and Weekdays!

We have been so busy the past 2 weeks. On the 11th we went to monticello for the horse sale, it was fun to see people we haven't seen since we left. We do just kind of hole up down here in the valley. It's too bad that the horses didn't do better though. There was a lot of horses that had great training on them that just couldn't get a bid, but that's how it goes. Hopefully the market will come back up. Koriann loved looking and riding a few of the horses. Then on the 18th we went to the San Miguel Basin Fair, it was so much fun. There fair is really big, they sold around 100 animals. The kids got really great prices on their animals, which is good because they put so much hard work into it. I also helped put on the Buyer BBQ, it was through our cattlewomen's club, the West End View cattlewomen's club. It was a lot of work, but it turned out really nice. Koriann and Zeke saw all the animals aned exhibits and even went to the carnival. The rides were a bit big for her to ride, maybe next year. Here are some pics of how we spend our evenings together. Koriann reading the newspaper, so many choices.

Koriann and daddy having a grass fight, daddy wasn't playing fair.

When Koriann sits on grass she always keeps one leg raised, I have know idea why.

Koriann's favorite thing to do, pic on daddy while he sleeps.

Finally done Branding!

So many toys to chose from.

Koriann loves hats and especially cowboy hats.

Playing some basketball.

Getting ready to go to Buckeye again.

We are finally done branding, yes. It seems like it has been a never ending job, but all 1200+ are now branded and on the mountain. We can finally relax and have some family time. But we do love working and riding horses, so I guess that it isn't all bad. So just to warn everybody out there, never go to Moab for the 4th. It was the worst parade I have ever seen, I use to think going to blanding was bad but blanding's rocks compared to Moab's. But we still had a fun time being together as a family, Koriann thought the motorcycles were really cool, and she also loved pulling the grass out. We went to the doctors today and Koriann is still in the 97th percentile for height. So she has just been growing so fast. Here's some random pics of thing that have been going on.
