Cowgirlin' It

Jared had a conference in Arizona the first of this week, so Kenzie and I dropped him off at the airport and then headed to Morgan for a few days. Kenzie got to see Grandpa's calves for the first time. Not only did she get to see them, but got her first "cowgirl" experience as she observed from a safe location while Bonnee, my dad, and I vaccinated and branded the calves. Good times!! I'm not sure how much Kenzie liked it, but Bonnee and I had a great time.

Kenzie also got to sit on the tractor (she was never on it while it was moving...I promise!) She loved it.


We also had a BBQ down by the river that will be in my parent's back yard when they get their house built. Can't beat a grilled steak and then a bonfire and S mores with the sound of running water and fish jumping in the background! I'm just so glad that I get to raise my family in a place where we can be close to family and where we can have these kind of experiences.

Thanks mom and dad and Bonnee and Kyle for a fun few days. Sure beats sitting at home alone.

Jared had a good conference, but we are glad he's back. We feel pretty lucky that 3 days is the longest we've had to be apart since we've been married!

Too cute! My dad loves to take Grant on tractor rides too and just enjoy the country living. We are blessed I tell ya. Looks like life is treating you well! Kenzie is a doll!

Love Kenzie's smile in the photos. Your parents seem to have picked a really great property. Can't wait to see it when the house is done. Isn't it nice that our husbands don't typically travel with their jobs. I just don't know how some Mom's do it alone.
