Bucket Calves and the Horses
Bucket Calves
O and M got Bucket Calves. O is really the only one old enough to show it at the fair but we figured two was probably better than one. So we got M a calf too! Unfortunately M's calf ended up getting really sick and died. (And of course I waited to take a picture and now we have not picture of him and her.) We will have to get her another one when we get back from Montana. Here is a picture of O with her calf that is really starting to chunk up! He is getting to be a little chubby calf!
Horses
Since we lost Bubba, we have been looking for a replacement. Bubba wasn't the world's best horse, but he was good for our little family and was good for J. Since then we bought a couple horses in the last week. We picked up Chip (the sorrel gelding) after a horse sale and we got Roanie (the blue roan mare) the next day from a gal in Pocatello. Chip is a 7-year old gelding. I actually ended up knowing the people we picked him up from. He is really level headed and he loves to be loved. He has been a great horse so far. I took him up on the mountain and he was a little startley but with some work I think we can get him over it. He is pretty tall and given I don't got the body proportions that I use to have...it is a loooong ways up there to get on. The more I ride him the more I really really like him. Roanie is 14-years old. She is quite the little mare. She is really short. O really didn't enjoy riding much until we got her and now we cannot get her off of Roanie! I think we made some good purchases and that these horses are going to be great for our family!

Happy Birthday Baby Bug!
Today our sweet little baby bug McCall turned six! Holy cow where did the time go? McCall has always been my little baby bug! I cannot believe that she is six now!
Here are some things that we adore about her right now:
-She gives the absolute bestest loves in the world! She gives great big bear hugs and kisses.
-She LOVES to sing to the radio and she can belt them out. We love it!
-The girl can boogie with the best of them. I am actually a little a feared of her first school dance. Them kids won't know what's comin'!
-She loves her sister and brother. She loves to play with Cash and she makes his day. When we see a school bus, Cash automatically says "Call, Call" in hopes that she will be getting off the bus to play with him.
-She says that we are "BESTEST BUDDIES". I hope it stays that way forever!
-She is truley my little cowgirl. She loves her animals so much. (Unfortunately they keep dying on us...her kitty, her horse and this last week her calf.)
-She prays for the Lamanites (and sometimes the Nephites) in her prayers every night...sometimes she forgets and asks, "Now who were the bad guys in tonight?" (Looks like them scripture stories are paying off.)
-She is very competitive and puts her whole heart into what she is doing. She gives 200% everytime.
-She is getting to be such a good little reader and she absolutely adores Kindergarten!
-She can be a little mischevious! Ask her bus driver....
-She is going to be in the Major League Soccer someday! She ROCKS! We love love love to watch her play.
-She will secretly do things for her sister like picking up the room or making her bed. She does it because she likes to see her smile and be happy! (Mommy sure smiles about that too!)
-She has learned to climb our tree and thinks she wants to live up there with the monkeys!
We sure adore our little princess!
