Branding, cows to hills

 

 

 

 

We helped brand calves and take cows to the hills. P was riding Copper and he got in some nice warm dirt and rolled. P was a little freaked out I made him get back on and then get off after a while and then a few miles down the road he was ready to ride again. Yeah. J and I took turns driving and riding it worked really well when B woke up I fed him and drove and when he was asleep J drove. The kids only wantedd to ride when Dad was. D is the photgrapher of the kids on horses. They branded when B was just a week and a half old so I mostly sat in the van and fed him but I did get to rope a few. It took along time to catch, sorry Tate, because I am so very rusty, but it was fun still. I love springtime for a few of these reasons.

This is a few weeks ago but they were as good as its gonna get for a wahile. This 4 child thing is extremely time consuming, especially when one of them wants to be attached, literally. But I love this new life. I love kissing him, bathing him, just holding him, sometimes most of the day.
