That's right, it snowed last night, alot. This is what we woke up to this morning. It almost hit 90 degrees here only four days ago. I really can't believe this. The last time it snowed this late in the year was 1997 and it didn't stick.
All of my snow clothes are packed. I am going to wear shorts and flip flops in protest of the snow.
It's that time of year again. We went to the ranch to help brand for the last couple of days. The kids had a blast. Braydon is getting old enough to really be some help. Drew didn't really like the look or smell of the cows so she just steered clear.
Here is a pic of Braydon before the branding and before he had been kicked by cows.
Here is him after the first kick he got (he kicked the cow back)
Here is him after the second kick. We had to pick ourselves up off the ground we were laughing so hard. I don't have any pics of the third kick, but there was one full grown cow that didn't get cut out of the calves and it kicked Braydon into the fence. it kicked him in the ribs but he will be fine.
Kinnly was so tired he almost fell asleep on his horse.
So by now everyone knows how much I love the Twilight books and how I am obsessed with the movie. My mom and Dad flew to Oregon yesterday and when she got there she called me and said that the movie is being filmed in the town I lived in My junior year. The dance room scene, where James tries to kill Bella, was filmed at the highschool I went to!!!! Had I known I would have gone with my mom and Dad and stalked the Actors and Actresses.
I got this email and I thought it was really cool
WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA : New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME)! Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word 'God' is mentioned.... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ NEW School prayer : Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King. It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong, We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong. We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles. But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd. It's scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess. So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take! AmenIf you aren't ashamed to do this, please pass this on. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'
We Finally started our house today. We have been trying to get things going since the end of January. FYI, it is a lot more involved getting a home loan then it was a couple of years ago. Mortgage companies have lost so much money lately they said that out of 300 people who got home loans two years ago, only 12 would qualify today. Anyways, here we are. I am so excited.
This will be the view from the front of our house. I'm glad we have such a great view because we have 900 square feet of deck so i am sure we will be spending a lot of time out there. I will keep everyone updated (not that anyone cares as much as I do). haha
