Branding calves with friends.

Wyoming Cowgirl roping

Branding season is upon us, and it is great! Warmer weather, lots of friends, and of course, roping - if you're into that sort of thing. 😉

We went to our first branding on May 6, and had a great time. There was quite a crowd to help out, and we got to catch up with lots of friends. Some I hadn't seen since last year.

The older kids rode along and Jenni even roped a couple calves. I kept the two little ones with me, and we came later, helped with the food, and played with friends. 🙂

I did enlist my teens to check on  the sleeping toddler while i snuck in the pen and grabbed a few closer photos. It is hard for me to get in there and get the shots I want - I am always afraid I will be in the way, ha! 

I have been so stinkin' busy with the spring rush, that I just haven't taken much time to write. I have been working in my garden and taking care of kiddos... I will write a garden update in a few days or weeks, haha!

    These gorgeous, vibrant photos call me to travel West and see it for myself! This looks like a busy but exciting day. I am finally planting my gardens today. Between waiting until Jacki is off work so she can help and too many other things going, I am getting a later start than usual. Thank God for Springtime!
