Discovery #1

When you move out to the "country" and have cow pens at the back of your property, you just never know when someone might leave the gate open and THIS will be the view out the master bedroom window when you wake up.






This provided a lot of morning excitement for everyone, but I think Jody was the most excited of all. If you look closely, you'll see the tail end of a bull whip in the second picture. Hands down the happiest day of the year for him, the day he received that bull whip. And today has to be right up there. When we saw the cows practically on the porch, we shared a little laugh and called the kids. Then all of a sudden, Jody's expression changed. A glint in his eye, determination in his countenance and a call for...the whip. "Cooper, bring me the WHIP!" Oh the happiness that came from having a real, valid, reason to own a bull whip! (Not that he really cares if he has areason or not) He pulled that baby out and started cracking it, and darn it all if it didn't work. Those cows jumped and ran straight for the pens. Who knew that a bull whip and two curious cows could make my man so happy. I swear he stood two feet taller when he walked back towards the house.

Hey Ang! Love the post. I can really picture Jody's face when he realized he was going to get to use the whip. Colton is adorable. And Brae is beautiful! Tell her for me! I can't believe that is natural curl. So jealous! Her outfit is also very cute.
Your email address isn't working. I emailed you to see when we could Skype. Would afternoon be better for you, or in the evening after your kids are in bed? Let me know, and if you have a new email, let me know that too. Love you!
