Branding

Hard working cowboy!

Nervous moms watching

Daddy & Paige--she needed a little encouragement that her big idea of riding would be run. Matt's pretty big once you get up there!

Watching all the cows and cowboys.

Our favorite cowboy--could he look more like a commercial?!

So we spent last Saturday at Ryan's work watching the branding & working of the calves. Its a pretty standard thing where we live to have the neighbors come over and help; I believe Ryan spent close to 7 days at various other brandings before his workplace had theirs. He did his fair share of wrestling & roping calves. However, we lucked out and had the first nice day of summer to be with Ryan. Paige loves branding and was excited to ride her Daddy's horses. Cooper was happy to just watch all that was going on. He spent some time napping, some time crawling around the back of the Expedition; and some time crusing the pastures in his stroller. He was a good baby and not too fussy with all the comotion to watch. It was a long day; but a fun one and a good time to catch up with a lot of people we don't see too regularly.
