Church dresses

I LOVE being able to take pictures of our girls on Sunday.  They usually don't last to long, but at least we get a few pictures that turn out OK.  I can't believe how big the girls are getting, I LOVE the age that they are right now.

Everyday!!

All Koriann wants to do everyday all day is SWIM!!!  It has been a scorcher already this summer and The girls just love the pool.  Aspen only likes the pool when it's warm, but Koriann on the other hand could care less if it's warm or freezing cold.  To the outside world it probably looks like my children are homeless, but in all reality they just get in and out of the pool all day long.

 The girls play really well together and Koriann is very concerned when Aspen tries to stand up in the water.

Love Aspen's little sun hat, Koriann usually will only wear her hat if her dad is around.

TY Branding

 LOVE being up at twin in the summer.

 The view from our tent, I wasn't about to sleep out in the open with Koriann.

 Koriann keep chasing the horses everywhere, we seriously couldn't take our eye off of her.  On afternoon she had woken up and got out of tent by herself with only her shirt, undies and boots on and was standing over by the horses petting BLACKIE!!  Talk about a heart attack!!  Blackie is very skittish on the ground, but for some reason he was being as calm as could be.  It's is amazing how horses can sense when they are around children and just know when to behave.

 Koriann was so excited when she woke up and saw her daddy was back and they were roping.

 These 2 seriously melt my heart, she is such a daddy's girl it is not even funny.

 Zeke is so patient in everything he does with his girls.  Koriann LOVES him so so much.

 We all had a blast roasting marshmallows.  Everyone was eating them except Koriann, she doesn't eat very many sweets and was just watching them burn.  Then she would get all sad that they would flame up and be gone.  It was so cute to watch all the kids.

 I seriously don't know how Val does it everyday!!  If I am doing even half of what he does at his age and with his health problems I figure I will be doing good.  There was at least 3 times where I thought he was going to get dumped but nope he stuck it out and rode and roped the WHOLE day, which they stated at about 4 am!!

 Koriann was upset because she wanted to ride her pony and Zeke couldn't ride with her at that time!!

 I have decided I don't know how I used to do it, I was dog beat tired by lunch, seriously though it was pathetic I didn't even wrestle more than a hand few of calves, I merely earmarked, branded a few, and did ralgro.  I am going to chalk it up to being out of pratice and mostly being old!!

 Like a fat kid in a candy store!!  I think he had perma grin on his face the whole time.

Ok so this is a very LONG post but I am to busy/lazy to split it up.  We had the funnest time down at TY Camp!!  We decided to leave Aspen with Grandma and Grandpa Tucker, which was best decision ever.  It was wind and kinda cold at night and oh so dusty.  Besides it was kinda fun just having the one on one time again with Koriann.  Speaking of Koriann she was in HEAVEN!!  She played so stinkin' HARD, and only cried when she couldn't have the horses or dogs!! She escaped with minimal injury to face and hand from pestering the dogs to death.  She LOVED riding the baby calves and wasn't scared of any thing that was going on.  Zeke was like a fat kid in a candy store and was just soaking up every minute of it.  I was a little worried at first about watching Koriann and keeping her safe but all that worked out well and we all had the best time and can't wait to go back.  Hopefully next time it won't be a dust bowl, let's all pray for rain!!

Aspen 13 Months

This little half pint has grow up so much the last month!!  She is into everything!!  We seriously can't turn our back on her.  She still isn't walking yet, hence she is going through EVERY pair of jeans we own in this house.  Aspen is such a persistent little one, she will hold her ground for as long as possible.  She is still a bitter, which in her defense is only when she is defending herself from Koriann.  She had her first overnight-er at grandma and grandpa Tuckers.  She was a n angel baby, or so they say.  Will eat anything you give her, but her favorite thing to eat is TOMATOES!!  Still sleeps like a champ.  LOVES the pool and cries every time she has to get out.  IS just the cutest little baby around and we all LOVE her so so much.
