Photographing Triplets

It is pretty hard to keep track of twins let alone get the triplets all in one photo.  This is Rancher in the front ceter, Sweet Pea in the middle and Little Bit in the back.

Sugar is talking to them...

They are getting HUGE!  The two wethers will be ready to go on March 15th - any takers?

D.A.R.E. Graduation

On Friday, February 19th we attended a graduation ceremony in the Crook County High School gym.  All the 5th graders who completed a 9 week training program with Officer Coffman were asked to attend the graduation. 

From left to right: Officer "Dawn" Jordan, Officer Coffman and Officer Boyd.

5th graders in attendance from Crooked River Elementary with teachers Jody Fletcher and Jim Hite.

Here he is receiving materials from Officer "Dawn".  She was the original coodinator for the D.A.R.E. program in Prineville and many of the kids really miss her and wer glad to see her on this evening.

To Hunter and all of the kids who completed the course - AWESOME WORK!

New Window Graphics

I think I am just giddy over my new window graphics on the Suburban.  It took a lot of hard work since it has been so cold but I am finally done and here is the final product.

This is a close up of a side window.

This is the close up view of the rear window.

The windows look far better than the dirt all over the rig!  What can I say, I'm not a big fan of car washes when I live on a muddy road :-)

I think the graphics really jump off the rig and catch your eye.The vinyl cutter is my new friend and I have all sorts of plans.  I am waiting for the weather to warm a bit before I install on a customer vehicle but meanwhile I am working on some pretty cool graphics that are more bumper sticker size.

Big, Furry, Wild Horse is Tamed

It is spring and that means that it is time to clean up & clean out and reassess what we have & what we don't need any longer.

This horse named Token came to mind since he was purchased for Hunter to ride with us and he has not really been ridden but twice.

Hunter was very reluctant to ride up until yesterday when I started listing things on Craigslist.org and Token's name came up... 

 So, here is Hunter on Token.  He actually got on and off by himself and thinks he is ready for the bridle instead of the lead rope.

 Here he is manning this big wild horse all by himself.

 First lesson: What do you do when the horse wants to eat and you don't want him to?

 You show him that you are the boss!

We are both very proud of Hunter for taking this huge step.  I know that I am really looking forward to horn hunting on the mules and I am happy that Hunter will be joining us!

Good job Hunter!

Frozen Fog & Spider Webs

We had very thick fog again this morning.  Although it was not the frozen variety today it did remind me of a picture I took a couple weeks back.

I took this photo outside of our front door.  This web was hanging up inside of our patio overhang.  Didn't see it until that day :-)  Thanks for pointing this out crappy weather!
