We spend most nights lately watching Tyler rope or ride. He gets the happiest look on his face when he gets home from work and Owen asks him if they can "Rope cows?" Tyler knows he'll get to go rope and ride without me complaining because all the kids want to and he is so good to take them with him. Weston runs the chute for them, he is pretty good at getting those steers all lined up and into the chute. It is hard work for such a skinny guy, but he'll do it for hours. Especially if there is a pop or a dollar for him at the end.
We finally made it on a camping trip this year-no sickness! For the past few weeks there have been campers across the street camped out for the Martin Harris Pageant and Paige keeps reminding us that we need to go camping.
We had a good time rope swinging, playing it the river, changing clothes, playing in the river again, and changing clothes again. The weather was perfect. Owen loved sitting around with the adults and reading Western Horseman magazine.

I LOVE that top picture! Too bad all of your kids aren't in it, it would be perfect to frame.
It looks like you guys enjoyed the last part of your summer, and I'm so glad that you finally got a sick-free camping trip! :)
That is a great picture of Cal and Jer. You must have a nice camera because that last picture of the horse with Paige on it is amazing! It has so much detail I can see ever vain in the horse's leg.
Xander wants to go to Paige's house today. I feel so bad that we don't live closer so that we can pop in and bug you!
im jealous, i wish we would have gone camping with you. i wish troy would rope a little more and take the kids, they always want to do stuff with him, i miss going down to green shed and watching all the four of them rope.
