cow cow cow gator?!?

saturday = work day... heading out to the cows

austin was dusting off his ropin' skills

many different dos at the ranch on this day...

{jerry curls, flat iron look and bangs}

lots woke up happy to be outside

it quickly went down hill for this miss

while some worked, this is pretty much what we were doing

the beauty on the 47 acres

my beauty

my 2 most favorite cowboys alive!!!

emily i thought you got rid of this guy... must be his little brother. GET HIM!!

mooskata

i can't get enough of all charlotte's darling faces

today i'm grateful for her and her delicious smell, contagious smile and sweet presence... except when we are in the car and then the beast begins scratching her eyes out... at least that's what it sounds like is going on back there!

Satellite Beach

Yep, wild parrots. Lots of them. Hard to beat a place to live with wild parrots flying around in your backyard...if you know what I mean.

a trapper

Austin came out of his room during quite time and said to me..."munny, bang was running around my room and being crazy so I TRAPPED him"WHAT?!? that little sentence could have meant grave danger to little chitty cat... kinda a familiar situation with our fish Sink when Sink was "dirty and need a bath" YIKES
Silly boy

for those we forgot

not on Michi's ladder

Our first "Off Day" on P90X and we went all out.. an English style fish fry complete with Mushy Peas, Chips and homemade tartar sauce! YUMMM, Sam is a handsome man and a really scrumptious cook!

just a peek at the MESS

good chitty cat

it took a lot of work but we talk Austin in to a name that she could actually say. He originally name his kitten Good Chitty Cat but that was a little tricky and he did always pronounce the CH right so with a few name suggestions given by Sam and we’ve picked a good one!

introducing...

Bang Bang

Bang is a smoked color Devon Rex and his pretty much hairless right now but should have short curly hair as an adult...although I wouldn’t mind his to stay just how he is!

this is what Bang should look like in a year

Yes, its true we have ANOTHER pet!!!

I think this one is here to stay... but check back in a few weeks to be sure!

We dont have a very good track record for being a "forever home"

a Christmas miracle

ready for action folks!

what lucky little kids

my amazing stocking... thanks you Santa!!

everyone was as happy as can be with all that was given and recieved! I must say that i SCORED best of all... my PEARLS

After opening presents at our house we went to St. Cloud to be with the Munns family and to indulge in our Christmas dinner. YUM

"the gift" - Algerian Mini-hedgehog

Go-dad decided to add to our menagerie.

Kate is a lover of grandma and go-dad. She knows how to get her name in the will!

she seriously stands next to grandma gracing her legs and booty with her fingers until grandma picks her up... here grandma must not have notice so she sat and then finally LAYED down and whimpered until she was picked up by grandma (sam and i removed her a few times and would find her right back at grandma's side!

Christmas Sunday

desperate measures

Thrush is a nasty thing to go up against. After commencing our third battle with it we took action. A little thing call gentien violet. It did the trick... Only draw back it stains EVERYTHING purple!!


Before bed charlotte got her dose of the elixir.


After a wild night of nursing we were both a sight!!
