Beauty At Three

Here are some pictures that Mom took of Sky over Memorial Weekend - 3 years old and one month...

Summer Time Is Here

So as we all know by the heat - SUMMER IS HERE!  Last night I could not help but dream of Christmas decor and a building a fire in the fireplace.  I really do not enjoy the heat but I also do not enjoy the freezing! ;)  Is 70 degree weather all year round too much to ask for?  I guess so.
We competed (I attended) in the first chuckwagon race of the summer last weekend and Shannon ended up 3rd running rubber tire / big horse.  His award for his success - a duffle bag.   It is a nice duffle bag - for a duffle bag that is.
Our female Catahoula had her puppies on the 11th.  Shannon said she would have them that morning but I never dreamed it would be before I left for work but sure enough I went and checked on her as I left and she had one in her mouth.  I proceeded to call Shannon and explain to him that she was trying to kill them (in a very dramatic tone)!   I was informed later that she was only protecting them and was just scared of what was coming out of her - rightfully so.  We ended up with 8 leopard blue eyed pups! Beautiful pups!
I still miss my Sky bunny and I have been reunited with her since Monday around 11 - yes I still miss her and lil Miss Kayden Campbell but Grandma Jan has requested them both for a couple of days so they will be off to stay with her tonight and tomorrow night.  I plan on getting caught up on some much needed sleep.  I will not get to sleep in but I will get to go to bed whenever I want, I consider that a treat.
I have been promoted to the News Editor of the Stone County Republican.   Took on a lot more work but it is more of a satisfying job.

Kayden competed in her first Shodeo a couple weeks ago and got 2nd in Poles and 3rd in Barrels.  We are so proud of her for just getting out there and doing it.  Sky wanted no part of it but hopefully she will come around.  She enjoys riding but we had to strap her in the saddle and she didn't like that at all because Sissy didn't need to be strapped in.

We had a great 3rd birthday party for Miss Skyler celebrating at the ranch and at Nana and Granddad King's.  Thank you to all that came and shared that special day with my baby girl.

Kayden will be celebrating a her 7th Birthday on the 6th of July.  We will be having a party at the Crane City pool either the last weekend of June or the weekend after her bday.  She is growing up so fast!  She is an EXCELLENT reader and student, such a lovely young lady!
We are so proud of both the girls.

Enjoy life because you only get one! :)
