Introducing....

our new additions to the ranch!


Dad bought two little calves. He was hoping to start a herd, but accidentally bought 2 males. Oops! The one on the left is Butter and the other is Honey. Yep, we named them - still gonna eat em.
He has the 2 cutest ranch hands who go every morning and evening to help him feed and water the "herd"! I need to take a picture of them in their boots out there gettin dirty!

We've Gone Country

LOOK AT THEM BOOTS!
(can you hear Alan Jackson in the background?)

ha ha, I found these cute baby boots at a resale store for a few bucks and couldn't pass them up.

BUT...
It's official! We are moving to the country! We closed late this afternoon and celebrated with a picnic dinner out at our new ranchita. (don't know what to call 12.81 acres, seems a little too small to call it a ranch) The sellers will be moving over the next few weeks, but we are looking forward to moving in mid-August. Anyone want to help?

Its been quite a roller coaster since we found this property 4 months ago. Three appraisals, two lenders, one lawyer, some easements, and many renegotiations later - its ours! Its not your typical property, some may even call it ugly, but to us its a diamond in the rough! Well its not even that rough, but there is so much potential here. More details later, but here are some pics from our evening.
