LOTS OF PICS

Ok...Just sit back, relax, and you might want to grab you a bag of popcorn because a LOT has been going on and I just haven't taken the time to blog. So here goes...Swimming has finished...the Playdays have finished...another trip to Ruidoso...Post Stampede Rodeo Parade..

Maegen did great in her swimming lessons this year. She is even diving pretty well. Rhaeden finished his playdays and received a very pretty belt buckle. Another trip to Ruidoso and it was GREAT !!! btw...leaving again Thursday to go back to Ruidoso one last time before school starts..so here are a few pictures that has been going on in the last month. Rhaeden and Maegen rode on the "Ragtown" float for the Post Stampede Rodeo Parade. I hope you enjoy !!

Post Stampede Rodeo Parade:

Mike saddled up old "Spook" and the kids have been riding him some after work before we go to bed at night. Sorry...but the night I took my camera Rhaeden was with Danny.
Rhaeden doing the barrels in one of the play days. He kinda made the last barrell a little wide that is why he out of the picture a little. I was zoned in on the barrel. Rhaeden improved every week and finished really strong. I am really proud of him !!! Sorry I don't have a picture of his belt buckle.

After the awards ceremony in the park with hot dogs we headed over to the swimming pool.

Another trip to Ruidoso. The deer was right outside of the cabin and Rhaeden was in the hot tub at the time. It was absolutely gorgeous just standing on the side of the hill a rocks throw away and never ran away. Just casually walked right passed all of us grazing as she went.

We went out to the Flying J Ranch one night. Rhaeden shot a pistol. Rhaeden and Maegen panned for gold. We watched a "gun fight" (but it wasn't a real gun fight because no one died). We ate supper and enjoyed some good cowboy music. I even snapped a picture of Mike when he wasn't looking.

Maegen's last day of swimming lessons. Didn't her dive improve sooo much ?
