Tulia hail storm

This is a picture from the storm that passed through Tulia yesterday. I was getting water on my camera lenses taking this picture.

2009-04-15T09:58:00.002-05:00

I was tagged. I had to go to the 4th folder and 4th picture and explain it. Will opening his present from Brett. I tag, Karla.

Will's 3rd bday party

2009-04-09T14:49:00.002-05:00

Stay away from the cake and no one gets hurt!!!! This is Will's 3rd birthday party. He had a bucking horse party!!!

Playing B ball

2009-03-18T08:59:00.001-05:00

Brett is so ready to be able to play basketball. He gets to do the Naz stars next year. It teaches dribbling, passing and general ball handling.

What we do

2009-03-18T08:55:00.003-05:00

I know people driving by are probably saying "those people in Nazareth start them out young." We are waiting for Steve to get us a big basketball goal.

We are on our way to state

2009-03-11T09:25:00.002-05:00

The boys basketball team made it to the state tournament. We are so proud of them. Nicky-our distant cousin is making his 3rd trip to Austin in 4 years. GO SWIFTS!!!!!

Brett roping fence posts

2009-02-23T14:18:00.002-06:00

Brett was trying to rope the fence posts as Papa checked the fence. WE were waiting to see what would happen if he caught one. Would he let go or hold on? He got one caught but it came off before he could pull the rope tight.

Will just had to have his toenails painted

2009-02-23T14:14:00.000-06:00

Will wanted his toenails painted so we did it. He sat so still and let me paint away. Brett was totally disgusted that his brother had his toenails painted.

Will

2009-02-11T10:38:00.001-06:00

Will loved the mud hole as much as his brother. One of our friends told Will there was enough dirt to grow corn in his ears. He thought that was too funny!!!!

Mud pen

2009-02-11T10:33:00.000-06:00

Little boys cannot resist the big mud hole!!!!

Ft. Worth

2009-02-02T10:13:00.003-06:00

We decided late Thursday evening to go with Steve to Ft. Worth for the weekend. The boys loved roping the dummy. Brett had the pulling part down and did manage to get 1 horn roped.

Sledding

2009-01-29T14:08:00.002-06:00

The boys and dogs sledding on the ice. Brett knew there was enough to sled so off he went. After a few runs down he would have to find a new patch to sled down bc he had melted the first patch. Notice he had the dog HELPING him.

Will fell in love

2009-01-19T09:24:00.002-06:00

Will fell in love with the goats. He was waving hi to them when I snapped this picture. I'm like to bad you like them bc we are not showing them. He believes a stock show is nothing more than one huge playground for him and all his friends.

Brett and the pig

2009-01-19T09:19:00.002-06:00

The County agent(DAD) congratulating Brett on a job well done. The judge told Brett that he drove the pig well. I guess all that walking before the show paid off. We got 4th out of 6 so we were proud. Brett asked what happened after the pig got sold. WE said oh this one didn't sell and is going back to the farm which is true but we didn't tell him that it will be pork chops before it is over.

Favorite Christmas Memories and presents

2009-01-08T13:28:00.001-06:00

The Horses

2009-01-08T13:25:00.002-06:00

Boyd and Steve made the boys horses for Christmas. They definitely were a hit. Brett rides his while he plays video games.

Christmas morning

2009-01-08T13:22:00.002-06:00

One of Brett's favorite gifts was the nerf gun he got in his stocking. Just ask Brett if they hurt when they hit. We were playing with them and I was shooting at the back of Brett's head and he turned around. I got him right below the eye. We learned a valuable lesson that day.

The best Christmas gift so far

2008-12-15T09:11:00.000-06:00

Will said the pens were the best gift ever. He has played with them constantly. Anybody that knows Will knows how much he loves cows and horses. The pens were just the icing on the cake.

The weed eater

2008-12-15T09:07:00.001-06:00

Brett got the weed eater. Both boys were outside in the 40 mph winds blowing leaves and weed eating.

The leaf blower

2008-12-15T09:02:00.002-06:00

My lovely SIL got Will a leaf blower. It is way cute and way loud. That of course is why she bought it.

Are you ready for

2008-12-11T11:09:00.002-06:00

Christmas? We had better be because we start ours this Saturday. I kinda like it this way bc the boys have time to play with the new toys before they get hit with a whole new set. Clay and family will arrive Friday so that he can hunt or should I say scare the birds. It is a joke around our house that the pheasant that he kills just die from laughing so hard bc he is not the most accurate hunter. A pitcher either but that story is only relived everytime we get together.

Tournament is over

2008-12-08T09:41:00.001-06:00

We are so glad the tournament is over. The boys are actually getting to stay home and play with their own toys.

Funny things kids say

2008-12-02T11:01:00.002-06:00

Brett was telling us about burying Sandee's cat and how Trent and him got to bury it bc they were the big kids. I said did you cry, no and then he went on to tell us if the animal is hard, it is really dead. I rolled so hard and he got mad bc he was serious. I said I understood but the way he told it was hilarious. BTW- something is always getting buried at the babysitters. She always has some animal there for rhem to play with. There was a turtle for awhile.

Are you ready???

2008-12-01T11:40:00.002-06:00

Are you ready for Christmas? We still have lots to do but after this weekend we should be on the down hill slide. We are in charge of the hospitality room this weekend for our big tournament. They are expecting about a 100 people. Hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather. Snow is expected here next week. My brother will have alot of fun hunting in the snow.

Boys

2008-11-29T20:25:00.003-06:00

We had too much fun decorating today. Can you tell we believe in our blue and gold swifts? They fight over the NICKY hat as they call it. Nicky plays for the swifts and is a distant relative.

Happy Thanksgiving

2008-11-26T10:09:00.000-06:00

Hope everyone has a safe and HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Don't eat too much!!!

Love,
The Young's

2008-11-17T13:22:00.000-06:00

Deer

2008-11-10T10:11:00.002-06:00

We saw these 2 mule deer Saturday when we were going between our 2 farms. We were about 75 yds away and they just let Steve snap as many pictures as he wanted.

balloon festival

2008-10-28T08:56:00.003-05:00

We went to the balloon festival in Palo Duro Canyon early Sunday morning. Our camera doesn't do night pictures very well but you can see how close we got to the balloons. They didn't get to lift off bc of wind but it was still a real neat experience.

Soccer-ugh!!!!

2008-10-21T11:07:00.001-05:00

Soccer brings out the best in him. He was sick and tired of it by noon on Saturday and swore he was never playing again. Luckily the last game is Saturday.

Better update

2008-10-16T10:24:00.002-05:00

I figured it was time to post something. We had Monday off so we got lots of errands done but no extra naps. This week has been so busy and it doesn't look like it is going to slow down anytime soon. Today we have soccer practice and I have to work the ballgame. We also have to check on switching internet providers but they are feeding us supper so at least I don't have to cook. Ballgames will consume most of the weekend but the boys are staying with Nana Saturday so we can go to a fund raiser. They are excited.

Gathering pumpkins

2008-10-06T20:28:00.001-05:00

We celebrated Steve's birthday by going to the pumpkin patch. Brett was on a mission to find the perfect pumpkin. We found about 6 that were the perfect one.

2008-10-06T12:53:00.002-05:00

Brett recently competed in the tri state fair. He won best of show with his banana bread. He also got 2 other firsts and 2 seconds.

Tri state fair

2008-10-06T11:00:00.000-05:00

2008-10-06T10:58:00.001-05:00

We started soccer and we are 1-2. Every little boy loves this game. You can kick all day long and never get in trouble. Brett and another kid took an opposing player out Saturday. He thought that was way cool.

We are still here.

2008-10-06T10:55:00.004-05:00
