It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Monday we put up the tree and decorated it. Since then Josie has redocorated the tree several times. But only half way up the tree, just to where she can reach, so the top half is still the same.

Xanadu

Remember the movie Xanadu, anyways Josie has been watching it for the past week, non stop. Well this is her version of the cowgirl dance. She likes the skate girl. I myself am a fan of the movie also, have an extra hour and half watch this for sure.

Cowboy Rose

So I'm starting a new blog it will be Cowboy Rose, yes I know many of you have waited along time for this. Unfortunately there are no purses. I do however know an excellent blacksmith, metalsmith, John Smith, wait no. So here are just a few things to start off with until I get my new blog page up and running. Someone has to run and you all know it is not gonna be me.
Well here it is CowboyRose http://www.metalandironhomestuff.blogspot.com/

Shipping

We went to the ranch at the beginning of Nov. They were shipping cattle, so the kids got to help. Mom came with me and we all had a ball. Mom got to ride and was in heaven and I got a new purse(mom made it for me)





Dakota decided to just watch this day






Now, where did Carrie go?

Top of the Mountain

Old Mother Hubbard

I opened the cupboard to get Josie some cereal and this is what I found. She said her baby was sleeping. I guess this is what you do when you have no room, the whole house becomes your room.

Let me 'splain, No there is too much let me sum up

As a few of you may have noticed I've taken a sabbatical on the blogging stuff. Lots of reasons, I won't bore you but as the title says "let me sum up" Obviously we had a baby, beautiful Macy Kay Macy was a crier that rivaled Cy, and Fletcher was working out of town. So needless to say the months that followed are blacked out. So, moving on to May. We went to Cali to visit Uncle Bugs, thats what Josie calls Boggs Next went to NM and Josie competed in her first rodeo and won a buckle, Fletcher was so excited he almost peed his pants. Not really but he was excited
Of course the Arnett reunion to UT.
the Busby reunion to Cyclone Lake and all the fun that follows that.
Finally we are back from NM we were able to stay for a full week. It is so nice to stay in a house where everyone has their own room and we don't bump into each other on the way to the bathroom or kitchen. Wendy and Brit came and we made the trip to Alb. thrift stores with all of our kids. So much fun you should try it sometime.
Then they rode horses and played in the wilderness that is the ranch.
Macy is now crawling and has quite the temper, must be a redhead thing.
Wendy also took family pictures except Fletcher couldn't make it, even though we were in NM. I will post those lovely pics as soon as Wendy finds time to send me them.
