Day at the lake

We took a day to head over to the lake. Natalie had a *great* time tubing ~ even challenging our friend to throw her off. She made a good run of it!! And she tried to get up on the waterkis. She didn't quite get UP, but she was doing darn good at getting out of the water. Just not...quite....there. What a fun day!!

And she's ... SIX!!

Natalie Grace in 6 words - you know, for 6 years old.

She has opted to celebrate her birthday BIG RED style ~ as she loves her Nebraska Huskers AND College Football.

Father's Day

A busy weekend meant getting creative to celebrate Father's Day. Zane had some cattle work to do Saturday and then he works at his "real" job all day on Sunday, but Natalie is always wanting to prepare a party! So while he was gone Saturday morning, we did some thinking and preparation for celebrating our favorite dad!

We played water balloons, swam, made snow cones, had a fabulous dinner of stuffed steaks, and finished out the day with a lovely fire pit session. Mmmmm, s'mores!!

Jenna's Baby Is Here

Jenna had her baby!! It's a boy, he's solid black and with the help of the votes, his name is ....

DUKE!!!

They are both doing well and Natalie is thrilled!!

Yes, he's already been on a halter! Sweet little guy ....

Pioneer Days

It was the annual "Pioneer Days" in Rhome. We headed up to town to watch the parade (very low attendance, unfortunately), a pony ride, a visit to a mini petting zoo, and the highlight -- the all-day wrist band access to the bounce houses and the water slide. She had a great time and even got to make her first purchase from an ice cream truck. All-in-all, a great day!!

Sweet Summer

Sweet Summer Watermelon! Seriously, this is the life!! Natalie is eating watermelon from the float in the pool!! And when it's THAT hot, why go in to take a shower ~ Yes, I made her just shower in the hose. Shampoo and all. Not too bad ... even if she IS acting like she's freezing. It was almost 100* out!!
