Grown like a Weed

Paige loves life. She loves it even more now that she can see the world from a sitting position.

She might love it more with hair. Still no hair.. oh well.. Still love my bald beauty.

All is well.

Just letting you know I am still alive and well. It has been awhile since my last post due to the fact my computer has yet again taken a dive. So I am patiently waiting for Brandon to finish his "research" into laptops to get a new computer.

Quick update on the the family starting with . Me.
I have started the CNA and Phlebotomy program at NPC and I have successfuly stuck my first victim in Phlebotomy and can draw blood using a butterfly needle and the veins in your hand.
I am learning to Team Rope. YA learning. Brandon bought me a horse named Foxy Roxy as Kohan calls her, and I am learning SLOWLY to head. ( for those of you not into Roping its not sexual get your mind out of the gutter. I catch the horns and drag the steer for Brandon the rope the legs.)
I have grown beautiful roses bushes which was on my list to accomplish so I can try a garden next year.
Brandon is also team roping. Which has led to bringing up an old injury in his hand and is at the orthopedic surgeon today learning if he needs surgery or not on his wrist. He is facing the gloom of being sent to Douglas for work. Good ol' APS is interfiering with our lives yet again. Just in time for winter and other obsticles to surface he will be gone and I will resume all roles of the house and life and keep sane. Not sure how that will go. If you have suggestions please pipe up.
Kohan has started Preschool three days a week at Emkes and LOVES it. He thinks he is just a grown up now and is enjoying sissors time at school. He rides sheep again this weekend at the county fair. He did his first junior rodeo with brandon a couple of weeks ago and thanks to Brandon jogging swiftly around barrels leading foxy Roxy around them, Kohan placed 4th in Barrels and got a check for $10.41. Which he is planning on cashing and buying himself a belt with a buckle since he "didn't win a stinkin Buckle" at the rodeo.
Paige has hit the 6 month mark!! she is rolling like crazy to follow you into a room, and can sit up like a big girl until she is pushed over by her brother. She is such a happy girl but is quickly learning to Whine when her mother enters a room no matter who is holding her.
More to come later with Pictures.. Halloween costumes are sure to be posted.:)

Where Leaving on a Jet Plane.

4 plane tickets. 3 suitcases. 2 carseats. 1 stroller. A three hour drive to Alberquerque. 1 hotel room . 1 early am flight tomorrow morning. 2 excited kids to see a whale named Shamu. 2 parents going to try and juggle all of this, and get on an airplane bound for Houston Texas to visit Brandon's Family is... Priceless.

Wish I was the bistanders watching this Family of four try to get on an airplane with all their crap and a five month old and a crazy busy 3 year old. Chaos for sure. Will let you know how it goes!

Ranch days

We have been super busy these days. Brandon bought a new horse - Primo. So we have been busy riding him and getting him into shape. We went to the ranch and brandon team roped with his brother and dad. And we did a LOT of riding and gathering to brand the spring calves. It was a long weekend but fun. Here are some pictures.

Paige and her accomplishments

This has been a Huge two weeks for Paigeepoo. She is almost four months and She is officially getting her first tooth! It is coming up on the bottom, and she is a grouch about it. She started on Rice formula. And is ALMOST ready to roll over. She can roll from her stomach to her back but not from her back to her stomach. She discovered her feet, and loves them. I have to put socks on her because she is sucking the ends of her toes raw. And she is trying so hard to laugh but just lets out a little grunt and a sigh.. so cute.
