Buckaroo Bliss: June 2011

I do have to say I wouldn't trade this western life for anything. I love the smell of sage after a good summer rain, the feel of a colt just learning how to turn back a cow, the sounds of bawling calves and yells for the iron. I'm most comfortable in a good set of chinks and my worn out boots, with the sound of my spurs scuffing the barn floor. My saddle is my choice of seating compared to a spot in an Opra hall. My make-up is made up of the dust from following a few hundred head of cattle. My jewelry is made up of silver from a bit maker and my best peice is hanging in my horse's mouth with a floral tooling only a cowboy could admire. My favorite books are not printed yet told by a few buckaroos while having a high-ball after a day of branding. I'd rather see myself to the ground of a round corral coming off a bronc-y colt than sitting in a classroom hearing what has or is to happen after I experienced what I prefer to. Hearing from an old horse trader.."You have to be a lady before your a cowboy"..I do believe he was right. There's always a place for a little glam in your life. You just have to find your calling and which hat looks prettier...

My lil Buckaroo

Hello All, I haven't been here to blog in ages.

Been to happily busy with my new lil boss, Brody Blevin Kelly. Born March 24, 2011 at 7 lbs. 8 oz. 21 1/2 inches long with Daddy's hair and Momma's eyes. He is the most amazing blessing. His lil bright eyes, silly giggles and Mr. Squirmy moves are the best. I truly now know what my own Mom feels, There must've been a huge hole in my heart before he came along, cause I can feel it all swelled up since the first moment I heard his cry.

To let you see the lil man from birth to now Here's some photos..
