You know you are a Redneck if......

You haul hay with a car!!!! We were driving down the interstate today and came across this in the lane next to us. I thought I had seen it all. We started busting up laughing and hurrying to find our camera. When I stuck the camera out the window to capture this moment the couple in the car started waving and grinning from ear to ear. They sure thought they were something and we just couldn't get enough. It was the highlight of our day! lol

Crazy Hair Day


Blake had crazy hair day at school so we had to participate. He doesn't have much hair so we decided to spray paint it Blue with a Green B. He was so proud of it and wore it the entire day.

Mule Colt








This reminds me of the last time I spent with my Grandma. Two mules were born when she was out here and we just had another one born. We named her Milly and she just loves the kids. We haven't had one so friendly before. She will just come right up to Shaylee and the kids. She is a Dunn which is my favorite color of horse.

Pictures of the Kiddos

Our cute little Emma thought these sticks were the most beautiful things. We tried to give her the flowers but the sticks were so much more beautiful.

Trying to take pictures without the kids smiling all weird, not going to happen.

Another attempt, Blake can't quite get it right today. I don't know what to do.


Emma finally has long enough hair to put in pigtails and she looked adorable.



Another missing tooth

Shaylee was suppose to be taking a nap one Sunday afternoon and she knew what she had to do to get out of taking one. Her tooth was barely loose and the little stinker twisted and yanked until she pulled that tooth right out. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking if she could keep it. Blake got real serious and said if you keep that tooth the tooth fairy won't have enough teeth to put in our babies mouth. Did you know that is what the tooth fairy does to the teeth she collects? Neither did we!!

Handsome Blake


Blake loves posing for pictures. He loves getting his picture taken.

Emma the Horse Whisperer


Emma is always outside talking to her favorite horse Ice Man. She gets really frustrated when he doesn't listen to her. She loves horses and can't get enough. She is Daniel's right hand man when it comes to taking care of the horses.

Turkey Hunters

Daniel got a turkey one morning and we were all pretty proud of him. My children were so obsessed with the turkey that they were each taking dibs on which part of the bird they got to keep. Shaylee got the tail, Emma didn't want any part of that animal, and Blake got the beard. Yes, I guess my kids are pretty morbid but very proud of their Daddy.

Shaylee went turkey hunting this year. Daniel took her out target shooting and she shot the bullseye every time. He knew she was definately ready. She slept in her clothes and laid on top of her covers so she could get up fast when it was time to go. She is usually not a morning person but the day of the hunt she was up and reasy to go. They got in their place behind the blind at about 5:45a.m. and by 6:15 Shaylee was wanting to get out and find the Turkeys herself. Daniel kept telling her to wait 10 more minutes and about the fourth time she asked he finally gave in.
They probably walked about 10 yards and a Turkey flew down right in front of them. Daniel was so mad and looked at Shaylee and said I told you we should have waited. I told Daniel well you are the Boss you shouldn't have given in to her. Easier said then done I guess. Needless to say they came home seeing one but empty handed.
