Branding........

One of the benifits of being married to a cowboy! I love branding, of course I don't do much of the work, but it is SO fun! Every one loves it, especailly these two cowboys. Look at those grins, I can't tell who is having more fun!
Cades family does it the "old fashioned way", with a fire and horses. Not everybody brands this way. Its part of what makes it so fun though! Cade dragging a calf to the fire on his colt. Yep, I married that.

EVERYBODY gets in on this! All the little cousins, from 14 to 2 year olds. They all want to help and be involved.

I don't know why this is in here twice. It is so cute though =D

This is Carson riding a calf, or at least the tail (haha) end of it. He rode two or three. He LOVES this stuff! Such a little cowboy.

I have a video and more pic's but the computer isn't cooperating right now so..........

Kenzie was there too, but she thankfully slept through 3/4's of it. But she loves it too.

So cute, so much fun. I love that my kids get to grow up this way, its kind of a lost art. Very western, very tough. I think.

Spring time on the ranch!
