Thinking about my boys.... and how much they mean to me!
We were blessed almost 29 years ago to have a son... what a son he is! He is the funniest, most handsome (except for HIS own son!), and greatest son ever! He is happiest when he is on the back of a horse.
He LOVES to ride! He loves his family and he loves to have fun! Every year the "boys" take a pack trip to the mountains of Wyoming. These are some of those trips:
Blaine in the lead, Travis and Kolby (riding his "Buddy Seat")
Papa and our favorite grandson!
This picture cracks me up because it was staged and I busted them! We are always worried about them keeping Kolby safe on the horses and 'remind' (they call it nagging) them to put his riding helmet on. Well they made sure to take a picture of Kolby riding with his helmet on. HOWEVER, when I was looking at this cute picture, I noticed Travis holding Kolby's cowboy hat in the background! Yeah, they totally STAGED the picture to pacify the women folk!
The favorite thing to do on the pack trip besides ride horses is fish!
Check out this string from a few years ago!
Then, almost 8 years ago.... we were blessed with another son! This time, I didn't have to do any of the hard work.... he came to our family through Tama! While Karlo isn't as into the horses and cowboy way of life, he does know how to have a good time! We love having Karlo in our family! He takes great care of his girls, works hard, and knows how to have fun!
He keeps trying to get me to go on one of the more "wild" rides down the river, but so far, I have managed to be content to stay and take care of the little ones or meet them at the other end with the truck and trailer!
I have ridden the river with Karlo....he was nice enough to keep it in the calm waters and let me ride in the "queen seat" right in the middle of the raft!
