New in the neighborhood

We arent' sure just how he got here, but he has been a visitor on our street for about a week now. It's an good thing that he is fairly friendly. He even stopped grazing (sort of ) to pose for a few pics for me!



We think that he may have escaped from one of our neighbors down the street, but you'd think that after a week they would be looking for him ??



He has been a great source of entertainment, Danielle has his routine down. It seems he frequents different farms at different times of the day. Too funny !!!

Glam Day

So, Danielle and I deceided that we were in desperate need of a Glam Day !! So we drove out to our favorite stylist and got the works. We just love Carolyn. She does awesome work at affordable prices.




Turn around is fair play so I let Danielle snap one of me as well :)


And at last......

My July Forecast

An exciting astrological month begins with zany Uranus turning retrograde on July 1. When eccentric, independent Uranus turns retrograde, it's best to expect the unexpected. This planet symbolizes the need for change, and emphasizes the importance of flexibility in every aspect of your life.

On July 3, Mercury enters Cancer. For best results, put your logical mind in hibernation for now and speak from your heart. When Venus enters relationship-oriented Gemini on July 5, your desire for new experiences is strong. If you are single, this is a great transit for meeting a new love. In a relationship? Spice up you love life by doing something totally different from your ordinary routine.

A dramatic full Moon lunar eclipse occurs on July 7 and it's time to refocus your attention on your career and worldly concerns. Optimistic Jupiter and spiritual Neptune come together in a conjunction on July 10, and your idealism may open up brand new worlds. Then active Mars enters verbal Gemini on July 11, and everybody will be selling their ideas, projects and plans.

You will be assessing your most important relationships when Venus squares serious Saturn on July 21. And you feel extra protective of loved ones with the solar eclipse in emotional Cancer occurring the same day. The Sun enters limelight-loving Leo on July 22, and boldness replaces sensitivity. By July 26 when Venus trines Jupiter, you'll be more than ready to go out and play! As the month comes to an end, pay attention to your dreams and let them guide you as Mercury opposes the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction on July 30 and 31. Your imagination is in full bloom! Love planet Venus enters homebody Cancer on the 31st, encouraging you to hang out at home and give your mind a rest.


Wow! A dramatic full moon lunar eclipse on my Birthday !!!! What a great gift! I LOVE full moon nights!

High School Rodeo Finals

Danielle was in the top 15 at the NTHSR Finals last month; She and Mia had a phenomenal year. The finals were held in Fort Worth at the coliseum.





Pictured below are the top 15 finalists;



(I think a couple were missing)

Danielle and Mia were in the top 4 in the 1st go round but hit a barrel in the second go, so didn't make it to State this year! But they'll be back even stronger next year.

Father's Day

All Dan wanted to do on Father's Day was hang out with his best friend Jack;





Unfortunately, Dan's father's day gift was a new weed eater and the yard required him to put it to good use! He did a great job and at the end of the day he and Jack shared a much deserved beer!

Hopper Ranch Tuesday Nights

Another Tuesday night at the Hopper Ranch, this particular one just happened to be Danielle's Sweet 16 !! Merry Hopper brought out the birthday cupcakes so everyone could help Danielle celebrate her 16th B-day!







The birthday girl didn't spend much time off her horse so the only pics I got were on horseback.

Got a few good pics of Danielle's friend Kara, she boards her horse Judd at our place;
