The boy, the gun, the chicken run and an annoying Aunt

This boy, well this boy is a bit obsessed with guns. b.b. guns, rifles, shot guns, muzzle loaders, pistols, 22s, and on and on. He is the Obama administrations worst nightmare.

(what do you expect? we live in Nebraska where hunting is topic of major conversation)

2 things were picked up so far on this trip, a buckle belt, and overalls. Making the perfect farmer/hunter/cowboy wear.

Look at that form Uncle Sean!

Now we move onto the chicken run. When the rifle is not in hand, this boy is running around like a chicken. Why a chicken? well, I just dont know.

When chicken runs and rifles aren't on the mind, this boy can get grumpy. It may have something to do with a certain annoying Auntie and a camera.

Lets play pretend okay?

We have been in Utah for a week. And what a week it has been. It was so fun to share the title with Summer. Dont I look killer tall and skinny with long brown hair?....okay fine, its not me, its Shaylee Welch. Shes a doll.

You know there has to be some sort of jumping shot in my collage of pics right?

Maya kisses like her daddy, open mouth and slobbery. Me? I prefer

grandparent kisses. Mwah.

Asher, Leah and AJ cheering on the mutton busting.

We learned why they should never hold rodeo events in the heat of the day. But the hot dogs were still good.

Pink night. Lynds and I were tough enough to wear it.

Look! They were tough enough too.

One of the great things about Papas house. The lawn mower.

And the nekked pics. I found her down at the corrals Sunday morning just like this.

A couple weeks left. Lots of great things on the menu. But it will be nice to get home and see my money maker lover man. This one is for you Paul. Mwah! (grandma style of course :)

Dinners on Susan

Admiring the lone Black Eyed Susan that bloomed and spread when the others either died or are on life support tonight, I saw an interesting sight.
Lets take a closer look....

And look who we meet... a yellow crab spider and his dinner, a bee.

Ive never encountered a yellow spider and wouldn't have even noticed if his wing flapping dinner hadn't been so obvious. Neat.

The kids weren't as awed as I was, since the Schwann man was across the street and they knew what that meant, toffee crunch bars.

I gotta do something about those toffee crunch bars....
